I’m keeping it simple today with a little Five Things Friday! Here are five random things that have either been on my mind lately, made me laugh or made me smile.
1. Today is the official first day of summer!
Happy Summer everyone! I have been loving the warm weather lately. We waited way too long for it this year so we have to soak it up while we have it.
2. Pet Sweep
Animal-powered debris removal system. So funny, yet practical? Let’s give it a test run.
Intended use:
What really happens:
I don’t really have the Pet Sweep Dust Boots, but I do have dust slippers for humans. Moose really didn’t appreciate the slippers and kicked them of as soon as I snapped this photo, but hey, It was worth a shot. Afterall, he’s the reason we have to vacuum so often around here!
3. Peonies
The peonies are in bloom and it makes me so happy to look out in our backyard and see these pink beauties.
4. Healthy Living Summit 2013
This last week, I officially registered for the Healthy Living Summit where I will be surrounded by friends, great food, fun activities, and lots of healthy living talk. Last year the summit was held in Boston/Cambridge and this year it is in Minneapolis! It’s not until September but I am already extremely excited!
Here are my recaps from HLS 2012 in case you’re interested:
5. Grandma’s Marathon and Half Marathon
This weekend is Grandma’s Marathon and the Garry Bjorklund half-marathon in Duluth, MN. Good luck to ALL of the runners out there and have fun!
Happy Friday my friends!!
Oh my word, those dust boots for dogs crack me up! I can’t decide whether or not it’s straight stupid, or kind of intelligent? Ha Ha!

Agreed. It would be smart if they would keep them on but I highly doubt that would happen! 🙂
Yay for Summertime..finally! And it FEELS like it outside today, too!
I am going to HLS, too! I am very very excited :).

AHH that little girl photo about the light-up shoes was SO me when I was 7!! My mom would never buy me them and that is seriously all I wanted in life at that age 😉

Isn’t she the cutest! It’s not too late to get those light up shoes. 😉
Gott love that summertime feel! We brought in the summer with a BBQ last night 😉

Nothing says summer like BBQ!
Those dust boots are hilarious! Moose looked pretty cute in your slippers too!
I really want to go to HLS but it’s so far from me!! 🙁 I might try to scrounge up the money for a plane ticket and hotel, we’ll see.

I would love to see ya at HLS but totally understand. Plane tickets definitely aren’t cheap. I feel very lucky that it is in Minneapolis this year!
I’m attending HLS too! I’m thrilled it will be in MN this year, as I’ve wanted to go other years, but I haven’t been able to swing the travel.
Awesome! Hopefully we can meet up!
BAHAHAHA. I have seen Eva (my German Shep / Belgian Mal mix) make that same exact face. I imagine that’s the kind of look I’d get if I tried to get her to wear those and clean up her own shedding. Too cute.
It would be pretty amazing though, right?! 🙂
Happy Happy weekend!! Hope you had a good one. I am super excited for HLS too!!
