Something Is In The Water

Authors: DecorandtheDog

Is everyone you know having babies?  Yeah, me too.

That means lots of baby showers.  I loathe showers of all kinds (well, besides daily cleaning myself showers.  Eh, nevermind…I hate those too).  I’m the worst female on the planet.  The games, the “oooing” and the “ahhing”.  Drives me bonkers.

I...

Do You Collect?

Authors: DecorandtheDog

Do you collect things?  I had a stamp collection and a music box collection as a kid.  (I was one of the cool kids.  Can you tell?)  As an adult, I didn’t really have the desire to collect anything.  Until I saw a collection of globes in an issue of Better Homes and Gardens.  I NEEDED a globe c...

DSLR for Dummies

Authors: DecorandtheDog

I’m not big on New Year’s Resolutions.  I stink at follow through.

What do you do when you stick with follow through?  You start two blog series in one week.

I REALLY need to learn how to use our DSLR.  Every time I shoot in auto, I can hear the camera laughing at me.  Or is that Nate?  We’ll never be s...

Blogging Basics

Authors: DecorandtheDog

I am still shocked at the response I received from my post about what I've learned blogging.

You all got me thinking.  Maybe I should do a little blogging basics series. 

This series would include things I have learned along the way.  I am nowhere close to being a professional.  I have a tiny little blog...

Cow Painting Guest Post

Authors: DecorandtheDog

Yesterday I shared with you a cow painting painted by my little brother. 

He documented the process for the blog. The blog that he makes fun of me for.  Isn’t that thoughtful (the documenting, not the mocking)?  What is happening to my brother?  I’m worried.

I’m so glad he documented the process because I w...

Unfortunately,...

My Brother is Mootastitic

Authors: DecorandtheDog

Today I’d like to share with you all one of my favorite gifts that I received at Christmas. 

A cow painting.

This isn’t just any ol’ cow painting.  This cow painting was painted my little brother.  It is his first painting.  I’m beyond impressed. Look at the cow’s shadow.

My brother and I have an...
