My Furry Lovebug Turns One!

One year ago today one of the cutest little Foxeagles was born! It's hard to believe it's been almost a year since we got her! Look how adorable she was!

To celebrate River's doggie day, we decided to take her to a park in Riverside (one of my favorite places in Jax!) so she could spend the day doing what she loves most.. meeting new people and other furfriends! She got a little more than she bargained for when she met an adorable little pop belly pig named Kevin Bacon! She wasn't quite sure what to think about him..

Honestly, he was so well behaved and adorable I seriously asked Jon if he maybe would ever want a cute little pig... :) No surprise, he said no.. prolly for the best since they eventually get up to hundreds of pounds. But if your'e in the market, Kevin's owner said that pigs are easier to train than dogs!!

River was so exhausted she collapsed as soon as she hit the couch!

Today was a successful birthday for our furkid!

And Then There Were Four..

If you read that title thinking ANYTHING regarding babies (as I know my MIL would ;]), you are going to be disappointed..

We have finally narrowed our vacay spots from 6 thousand places down to FOUR countries!! It was NOT easy. And honestly, I know that even four countries is going to make this trip a bit of a whirlwind. But there are just so many places I want to see and I just don't know when we will get this opportunity again! So with out further adieu, the final destinations are:

 COUNTRY 1:

COUNTRY 2:

COUNTRY 3:

COUNTRY 4:

You. Guys. 

Is this real life?! I am beyond excited that we have finally decided on locations and the real planning can begin! Has anyone been to any of these places? Any tips for the newbie? 

OK, I'm off to spend the rest of my day on Pinterest travel boards... 

Happy Feet

So we haven't quite narrowed it down to where we will be vacaying but one thing is for sure, we are going to need some new traveling shoes! Every place on our list will require lots and lots of walking so my 15$ Target flats are just not going to cut it. I've been looking into some comfy but cute options and this is what I have narrowed it down to:

Crocs Cap Toe Flats- 

These shoes have rave reviews and although Crocs aren't known for being fashionable these aren't too bad on the eyes. I have a pair of Crocs that I LOVE and are super comfy but they aren't the cutest so these would make a great alternative. I'm liking either the black or the stucco colors. At 40$, my purse likes this option too!

Tieks

These babies are one of the highest reviewed travel flats I could find. The bottoms are padded with rubber padding and they have a cushioned instep to make them feel more like tennis shoes while walking around all day in them. They are also made of real leather so they last SO much longer. In addition to both of these wonderful features, they also fold in half for easy storage, which means more room in my suitcase for scarves! I would love one of these in every. single. color. My three favs are black, nude patent and navy. The only downside to these are the pricetag.. The ones I am looking at range from $165-$195.. ouch I know. Reviews swear it's worth it.

Clark's Grayson Erica

These rose colored flats are by far the most attractive pair on the list. These flats are so cute, its hard to believe that they are comfortable too! One reviewer said she walked all over Barcelona in these and her feet didn't bother her one bit. She may have sold me with that one review.. not to mention these are real leather and have an OrthoLite foot bed to add to the comfort. At a mid range price of 100$, these are a good option for me to get some quality shoes without spending half of my vacation money! 

So what do you guys think? Have you ever owned one of these shoes? Do you have any suggestions that I didn't mention?

Until next time!

Hip Hip, Hooray! // It's 2014 Ya'll!

HAPPY NEW YEAR LOVELIES!!

Here's to an amazing 2014 for every one of you! I love you guys to pieces!
