Married….With a Pup

I am so thankful for the relationships I’ve been able to make through blogging. I think that relationship building is the key to growing your blog and your readership….so when I find a blog I love I want to share it with everyone! I don’t even remember how Katie and I found each other’s blogs but I’m SO glad we did! Katie’s blog is called Married….With a Pup. Cutest blog name ever? I think so! I can always count on Katie to brighten my day and I’m so excited to share her with you! Trust me….you’ll love this girl!

Hi! I’m Katie from Married…With a Pup. I’m going to take a second and thank Julie for letting me take over her amazing blog for a second. Seriously, don’t you just love her blog and her DIY projects? And now with her little baby boy, this place is overwhelmed with cuteness!

So, as you can probably tell from my blog name, I’m married with a pup! Crazy, right? Well, let’s take a look at these two men before we go any further:

Yup, basically these two guys are my life. So, besides Derek and Brutus, my blog captures about everything in between.

Our travels…

We recently made our second trip to Nashville and fell even more in love with this city. We are huge travel people and try to get somewhere every couple of months.

Our all time favorite place in the world is Bellagio, Italy. We were there last fall and I cannot wait to start planning another trip abroad. Did I mention I like to plan…and organize?

So, this is a major case of organization in our house. I try to do projects like this on the weekends that Derek works. But sometimes, it can be a bit overwhelming to tackle a project every other weekend. So, I end up finding a printable on Pinterest and calling it day. See?

You will definitely see DIY projects around our house as well. In fact I’ll be sharing one on my blog at the end of this week, so make sure you stop by and check it out!

And by no means am I a fashion blogger, but sometimes I’ll post my looks on my Instagram (find me at Marriedwithapup)

Love shopping and putting together outfits.

Lastly, you will see recipes that revolve around party-food, entrees, desserts, and maybe even some adult beverages!

Seriously, how fun would these be for St. Patrick’s day?

Feel free to stop by and say hi.  Thanks again, Julie!
