Home decor advice from our expert influencer. No, this is NOT my living room, although I admit there's not much I don't like about it.

Swedish Pets from Long Ago First, I doubt Foster has any Swedish in him. But he enjoys looking "vintage" in the front room, so I tried editing this image to make it look even more "vintage". We do have some vintage pet photos in our family, but not a lot. I really like this one, …

A look back at some cool pictures Mom took The other day Mom was reading a post by one of her blogging friends, Leah, at Catwoods Porch Party. In it, there was a cute picture of Stripey, a tabby like me, in the sun. It made Mom remember that she had once done a post about …
