Cats cuddling

Here is a few pictures of Tibalt and Arthur cuddling. Enjoy!

Science is amazing!

Lets start today off with an amazing video that will blow your mind!

Buddy and his favorite toy

This is how Buddy usually "plays" with his favorite toy. 

a little creativity streak

I saw this on Pinterest and I really liked it.  I looked it up and it was $45! 

I got a little creative and decided to make my own.  I found a picture and just added the words in different fonts.  It is only on regular paper, but I did frame it and put it in the bathroom.  I actually like the one I made better than the original. 

Tip for books

Another huge passion of mine is books.  I love my books.  I would have to say if there is anything that I collect it is books.  I would never give away or sell any of my books. Books, books, books, <3. I always imagine my dream home when I am much older and can afford a custom home, there will be this huge library with thousands of books. Right now I only have about 200.  I do on occasion lend out them (if I lend you a book it is because I really trust you). One thing that I do though with my books, which I started several years ago is signing it when you are done reading it.  Everyone that reads my book puts their name and the month and year of when they finished reading the book right inside the front cover. It has become so handy when looking back in a book to know when you have read it, how many times you have read it, and who else has read it. It is fun to look back and maybe someday when I give my collect to one of my children they will have a record of when I have read a book.

Simon earns a treat.

This first video is of Simon today earning a treat and the second video is after he finds "the right spot"  to enjoy his treat.  He is so cute! I love my corgi!
