Miscellaneous

Hi! My name is Charlotte and I blog over at Charlotte’s Web. My day to day life is filled with weird and wonderful things – like cats that do backflips when they get overexcited – as well as a lot of stuff that is a little mundane, like making tea. I kind of talk about all of it, so if your read three posts in a row that mention ‘sugary tea’ or ‘crazy cats’, I’m sorry. Although I do mix things up quite a lot, so your chances of running into that little issue are slim.. but not none, you have been warned.

Some of my favorite things in life are: animals (I talk about them often and try to include cute pictures in random places where possible), tea (obvs.), really good movies (currently obsessed with Titanic and When Harry Met Sally), and discussing the funny side of relationships – which I tend to do often in my ‘Relationshipping’ feature.

If you fancy popping over to a bit of an eclectic lifestyle blog with a mix of funny anecdotes, dating tales, and cutie pies then come and have a nose around by clicking here. Every now and then I might even treat you to a product review, or inspirational message about bettering your life. You never know. See you soon!

a cat (dog) nap

Miscellaneous

some evenings when camden has to work late kramer and i find ourselves nodding off for a little nap. kramer always makes his way up as close to my face as he can then curls his little body around my head as we drift off to far away dreams. these little naps of ours never last longer then about a half hour as i awake to his little white fur balls eyes only inches away from my own if to say “i want to wake you somehow without being the one to wake you but, my belly really needs petting!”. 

when we first got kramer as a puppy, camden would let him sleep on the bed and he would trade off sleeping at the tops of our pillows around our heads. however, cam had trouble sleeping when kramer decided to snuggle on his pillow, so he decided krames had to be a big boy and sleep in his own bed. occasionally cam will let kramer come sleep up with us but he will no longer snuggle with us like he once did as a pup. in fact, he prefers to sleep in between our legs before going and getting in his own bed between the hours of one and two a.m. this is why our little naps are so special to me i think, kramer snuggling just like he first did when he was a little(r) fur ball. it takes me back to those early puppy stages that i sometimes miss, just a little (emphasis on the little) and potty training, no thank you! 
-have a fantastic weekend everyone!

you all know i love polaroids, but what do you do with them after the picture is taken? i always feel kind of sad putting them away in a box or in a photo album were they don’t get looked at very often. i love these ideas below for displaying them around the house, especially the heart display above the bed. it seems really special and what better way to display loving memories? what fun ways do you display your polaroids?
here are the links to the photographs above

this is a bit of what it has been looking like around these parts lately, a lot of rain and a lot of wet. i do enjoy the occasional rainy day as it makes me feel like being all cozy and a bit lazy as well. i love listening to the pitter patter of the rain hitting the roof in the middle of the night. there is something about this sound that leers me into a deep sleep every time. i have put together a few of my favorite rainy day items just in case it ever looks like this in your neck of the woods and you need a bit of cozy in your day. . . enjoy!
