It's Great to Be a Tennessee Vol!

The University of Tennessee, my alma mater, is a great place to be on any given Saturday during the fall when the Football Vols are at home playing some other opposing team. Regarding football, there is nothing quite as amazing to me than watching the Tennessee Volunteers run through the Power T with Smokey the real blue tick coon hound leading the pack with an unmistakable howl! It's electrifying and there is no place I would rather be at the given moment. This football season has gotten off to a wonderful start. It seems the lull of a few slow years in our football past have been put aside and the fans have been energized with a fierce passion for the TN Vols! Today, ESPN College Game Day has returned to Rocky Top giving the fans an extra treat. With a win against the Gators, we'll be singing "Good ole Rocky Top" into the wee hours of the morning! Go Vols!

A Party Fit For a Puppy Princess!

Our new little puppy Macy (aka Macy Belle) has been a wonderful addition to our family. She came to us in June and we were told by our vet that she was between 7-9 months of age. We decided that we would celebrate her birthday on the first day of September. This past Saturday, Emma-Caroline, Sophie, and I threw a party fit for any poochie princess and invited Macy's best puppy friend, Lilly Belle, the pocket beagle, to help celebrate. Lilly Belle was accompanied by Mary Caroline, Emma-Caroline's bff. Emma-Caroline planned everything for the perfect party for her puppy from the doggie friendly cake, to the party favors, to the doggie party games. We all had a wonderful time and most importantly, I had some happy little girls. Emma-Caroline may have created her own Pooch Party business. It was quite a lovely celebration!
