There's SO MUCH Poop!

Ok, we're on DAY 6 of fostering SEVEN puppies and I'm really feeling it.

The garbage can is packed with gross puppy training pads and I've been cleaning up poop and pee for the last week and ... sheesh ... it's been a whole lotta work.

Alice and I have dry, cracking hands from the amount of times we wash them. And there's a smell I can't describe coming from the playpen area.

And it's not just me, the girls are a lot less jazzed about the pups than the were over the weekend. And the pups have pretty much had it with their small, enclosed space. They want OUT.

We've picked our preferred pup (more soon) and we're just waiting out the clock until the rest of them have their adoption interviews on Saturday. They are ready to be out in the world.

And I'm reading "Puppies for Dummies" and trying to start out on the right foot with our newest family member.

Still don't think it's the craziest thing I've ever volunteered for. (We just got back from living in FRANCE, for Pete's Sake!) But we're certainly feeling the pooped. HA!

Here's some PUPPY CUTENESS! Because despite all the poo, there's also a lot of snuggles, kisses and hugs.

Family Room: The Accent Wall

Wall: Before Ever since I started to think about decorating this house -- way back in October -- I knew I wanted to do a dramatic accent wall in the family room. The room is huge with two-story ceilings. There are six windows on one wall and four more flanking the fireplace -- so this room could definitely handle a dark, rich color. A few design magazine, sites and HGTV shows later, navy blue stuck in my head. Like one design show I watch advocates, look to the clothes you wear often to help decide color -- which for me and Dave is denim. And we both have soft navy sweatshirts that are common weekend wear. Navy it was -- decided in December. So, each night since we moved in while watching TV I'd stare at the beige wall, that is slightly inset, and imagine it was navy blue. And I'd itch and wish to paint it. Now, with the new media cabinet arriving on Friday, it's finally time! Once we moved out the furniture pieces we no longer will need, we reoriented everything ...

Top 5 Spots in Tenerife: La Ortava and Hotel Mencey

3. La Ortava A charming old town in the valley above Puerto de la Cruz. In my memory, it was green and lush, but in reality it's a small village populated by ancient buildings and nice locals. The Casa de los Balcones is a popular tourist spot to pick up local lace and your own little balcony. We walked up and down the hilly streets, and discovered two stunning public gardens and a nice coffee shop. We also watched fancy-dressed wedding guests entering an old church. The bride, I'm sorry to report, was very, very late. View Down a Twisty Street in La Ortava The Famous Tourist Trap - Casa de los Balcones  Jardin Victoria With Quite a View! 4. Hotel Mencey and Parque Garcia Sanabria In Santa Cruz, the small city we used as home base, we stretched our budget a little to stay at the historic Hotel Mencey. It was a comfortable, well-maintained hotel in a great location. I love a hotel will a lot of common spaces to relax in, and this one had a bunch, all with beaut...
