Autumn in NYC + Hot Dogs in Central Park


Like many other New Yorkers, fall is my favorite season of the year. I love looking forward to apple picking, pumpkin carving, Halloween, and countless reruns of Hocus Pocus on ABC Family.




 Soon enough it will be cold enough to enjoy spiked warm apple ciders and hot chocolates. The sky is filled with crisp clean air, the leaves all start to fall in warm earth tones, and we all get to wear our sexiest fall jackets + boots. To celebrate and enjoy this beautiful season, our little family took a day trip to Central Park and met up with Leo's baby cousin Adam.

Allan and Leo's Homemade Sweet Potato Treats!

When our baby Leo is happy, Allan and I are happy. Prince Leo has been with us for about 5 months (just about 7 months old ) now and since we brought our precious angel home, there have been a lot more focus on preserving Leo's health and feeding him only natural/organic products with no preservatives.



Sometimes the snacks we buy him from various shops can be expensive and risky for people like me, who trust only a selected number of brands to make my puppy's treats. Dog Nation Sweet potato baked chews that you can buy at Petco can cost you around $8.99 plus tax for a small pouch of maybe 5 thin sliced of sweet potato. With Allan's little recipe here, we can get you more than a dozen all natural, crispy, chewy and economically efficient cookies for your best friend. You can do it all under $8.99.

Meet the new addition to our family, Baby Adam!

Puppy Playtime with Leo

Every Monday, we take our precious baby angel to puppy class at Petco. This class ends up being the highlight of my week and makes me feel so happy/giggly afterwards. Like a human baby, socializing your puppy is really important for the pup's development and emotional happiness! I learned this the hard way with our old Yorkie.

Hot Dawg

Before I recap my summer in NYC so far, I would like you all to meet my precious baby angel, Leo!

Breaking hearts since Feb, 2013

Breaking hearts since Feb, 2013

His full name is Leonardo, and he is a long haired miniature Dachshund. Leo is a dog and his life is amazing! He spends 24 hours a day doing beautiful dog things. As time goes by, you will see lots of Lil' Leo running around this blog. He really truly is my bundle of joy, and every time I get a little sad, this monster cheers me up :)
