Perhaps another teeny obsession. I have about three of them. And then I made one up with the help of a wonderful friend. I’m still trying to figure out what exactly I want in a calendar and what I need.

So, do you have suggestions of yearly calendars with extra space in them for other things? Let me know.

Another obsession I have. Can’t lie. I love the different smells. Right now in my office I have eucalyputs mint, smoked vanilla, juiperberry & pine, and iced vanilla woods to fit all my moods.

Do you have a favorite scented candle? #luvcandles

My third borzoi, she’s the largest of all my girls. Well, heaviest at about 75lbs. and she’s the one who believes she’s the lap dog. Wants to curl up on you all the time. She’s got the Borzoi lean down to an art.

Taken when she was just around a year old.

She’s also a therapy dog and loves it. I honestly can’t say enough about this breed, they have such a wonderful disposition and I only get complements on them when we are out.

Opal isn’t as fond of running as Lily is however she will run. She’s the one who will be curled up next to you on the bed, making you realize you don’t even need blankets because she generates so much heat.

I’m a cranberry and grapefruit juice girl. Even better when they are mixed. What about you?

I have a pen obsession. I didn’t really want to admit to that but as I sit here at my desk and type this, I have currently, three mugs filled with pens around me. That’s not counting the ones in my desk, these are just on top.

I prefer clicky pens versus the ones you have to remove the cap on. And I like a bit thicker pen. Doesn’t hurt my hand as much while I write in the notebook.

Do you have a favorite pen? Let me know. #favepen

I grew up in Georgia on nearly 300 acres. I am such a country girl and feel stifled in the city. The property DH and I purchased is in a town of about 700 people and we have 5 acres there. I can’t tell you how excited I am to be having a place put there so we can be back out in the country.

What about you? Do you prefer city life or country life?

Nope, not the property I grew up on but there are some similarities.

I love to bake. Love the way it makes the house smell. Cooking is also a love of mine but baking, favorite. Now, I use Temp-Tations for my cooking/baking and love it. I have sets like this one–different colors of course. I have a lot of it, but I digress.

What is your favorite thing to bake? Let me know on social media. #bakingfave

Okay, so I don’t have musical instrumental talent but I can sing. I used to sing in choirs and go to competitions. Which is surprising considering how shy I am. I love to sing. Love it. Especially soundtracks. But only sing in the house now. What about you? Do you sing?
