This is Ruger’s “I’m not impressed face!” Notice his toy next to him. That is his favorite baby doll, but all that is left of it, is the outside clothing lol
Last week, I looked up from working on the computer and realized, it was already my one year blogging anniversary! How did that even happen? Has it really been a year?
Today, is exactly one year of my Friday posts too! Time flies when you’re having fun 🙂
I know I have been snapchatting my roses like crazy this week, but they are unbelievably beautiful right now. This hybrid tea rose grows the largest blooms! Bigger than my hand. They smell amazing too which is my favorite part. The key for me is trimming them like this and adding in nutrients to the soil (more on this later 🙂 )
I was on a role with reading, but I got so busy the past few weeks, I haven’t gotten a chance to catch up. I have been loving this Elizabeth Taylor Biography though, and should finish it soon. Full review soon along with some others I am loving 🙂 I finished up some of these spring reads last month.
I did a little tutorial on snapchat last weekend about jazzing up a gluten-free cake mix. I have had some questions about that over the last few weeks. If you don’t have snapchat, no worries! I am doing a post on it soon 🙂 Last weekend I also made a bunch of these marble looking trays! They are super handy to have around!
I had a little coffee chat on the blog yesterday. My one year really snuck on me! Since I can’t actually go on a coffee date with you, I am giving away a $50 starbucks giftcard! You can enter below. Also, stop by yesterdays post for a free ad giveaway!! 🙂
Have a great weekend!

Love those pictures. Ruger is so stinking’ cute. Love it. We lost our dog on Mother’s Day two years ago. Want another but the pain is still too deep right now.
Congratulations and Happy Anniversary on your blog!!!
Alexis says
Oh, I am so sorry to hear that! That is such a tough loss. It took me almost 5 years to get over the loss of our dogs we had 14 years. I finally decided to get another dog and he has been such a blessing. Thanks so much Debbie!!

Happy Friday! Ruger is a handsome young boy… and so adventurous (er, mischievous?). He is so blessed to have you and your hubby to spoil him. Everytime I see a bulldog now, I think of you. Love your roses. Mine are blooming almost too fast… I want them to last longer, open slowly – they go from bud to full bloom to all gone in about a week… Seems like nature is rushing about, too… Enjoy your weekend…
Alexis says
He is definitely mischievous! Mine are blooming so fast too. I am going to prune them again in a few weeks so they will keep growing! I hope your weekend is fun and relaxing!
Olya @ The Siberian American says

Happy Anniversary/Blogiversary! Your dog is too cute! If we were on a coffee date, I would update you on how much better things have been this week as far as my allergies go. I don’t think I’ll be needing those allergy shots, the meds seem to be working! I would ask you about getting into shape and eating better, because I need to. We would sit and just chat about all we plan to do this summer because I’m so ready for summer to get here…but not the blanket of heat that it brings to Charleston. Can’t wait to chat with you! 🙂
Alexis says
Thanks so much!! I must agree…I am so ready for summer! Except the heat! I am hoping Texas doesn’t jump right into 110 degrees like it has before…that is the worst! I am happy your allergies are better. Ours have been terrible this season!!!
Julie says
Happy One Year!! Cocoa does that with her toys. She takes out all the stuffing!! Hope you are having a wonderful weekend!!
Alexis says
Thank you!! lol, Ruger just loves to do that! They are so funny. Have a wonderful Sunday!
Mia says
1 year, that’s awesome, happy blog anniversary! 🙂
I would tell you how much I’m in love with NYC. I just got back from a weekend trip and I wish I could move there. But… money. Haha. 🙂
Alexis says
Thank you!!! OMG so jealous! I would love to hear allll about it! We are going soon and I can’t wait!
