My friends, meet Nala

My sincerest apologies to all my readers; I know I haven't blogged since October! The past 4 weeks have been insanely busy since hubby and I took our puppy home. My friends, I would like you to meet Nala, my Rhodesian Ridgeback puppy.

Pictures have been hard to come by as capturing a wriggly pup isn't the easiest thing to do (lots of blurry pics of a small furry creature). I've also had minimal sleep since she's joined our household, so not really in the mood for a ton of pictures. We are getting some portraits done hopefully in the new year but for now, here are some home pics mostly taken from my phone!

Below: Nala's first week home

Yes I know I'm darn cute

With the holidays coming up, I'll have some more time to catch up on A Beautiful Life. I've picked up a bunch of new cute things for the winter so I want to share that with you.

My Latest Obsession - Ilse Jacobsen Wellies

I saw a girl wear these Ilse Jacobsen wellington boots at the local coffee shop and thought they were adorable. I've spotted them at a few local shops and they are on my hot list, especially in this snowy, slushy weather. Unlike Hunter boots, which I like also (recently bought a forest green pair for hubby), the Jacobsen wellies are lined with a soft woolish material. The boots are hand made in Denmark. They come in a variety of colours: black, cream, caramel, red, blue, and dark brown. I love the cream but the caramel might win me over on practicality.
