rant: goodbye my pup

Yesterday I had to put The Pup to sleep. It was probably one of the hardest things I've had to do. His tumors were causing him too much pain and strain on his body. He out lived his prognosis by about 1.5 years so I'm grateful for the extra time together. He would have been 12 this November. I could not have asked for a better dog. I'm gonna miss you my love.

rave: kiernan shipka

love the show she's on.

love her character.

love her closet and sense of fashion (and she's only 12!).

love her. (pointe, testing for her black belt, makes her own clothes, can laugh at herself, plays guitar and piano, likes to cook.)

can't wait to see what kiernan shipka will do in the next 5 to 10 years.

and for an in depth look at her closet, check out this post on the coveteur!
i'm kinda jealous...
i'm sure she will be (if not already) taller than me. i wonder if she'll let me have the clothes she's out grown...
and i'm not sure why i didn't know of all these high end kids clothes i can tap into...i'm already obsessively searching...

you can follow kiernan on twitter @kiernanshipka and instagram @kiernanshipka

rave: FNO 2012

rant: mckayla maroney = mini posh spice

i have been obsessively watching the 2012 summer olympics. i have always loved them and watched religiously. my favorites are gymnastics, diving, volleyball, basketball and swimming. so this past week has been crazy exciting and emotional (more on that in a later post) and all the royal sightings have been fabulous too.

but just on a quick note on mckayla maroney. she is a mini victoria beckham! the whole time b and i watched, i just couldn't get over how much mckayla resembled posh spice. she even has the bitch stare down. maybe they will get to meet at the closing ceremony when the spice girls reunite...
