haha thank you (you already know I think yours is SUPER adorable!). She's a she (most days anyways LOL) and her name is Faelynn (which means "little wolf" in Gaelic but we changed how to spell it...probably should've looked for "little fox" instead).
Thank you Love her name. She is adorable. Such a good little helper!

That looks like a nice, functional kitchen!  I like galley kitchens in that you save steps...  ;D

haha thanks guys :)  It's not necessarily our taste per se, but we just wanted to pick something more modern and plain so that it would appeal to the majority of people viewing our house (but that doesn't matter now!....if only we had known that we would've had a buyer for the house "as is"!)

Galley kitchens are useful in that regard, but I hate that the kitchen is so isolated from the dining room as you can't really have people around and easily carry on a conversation unless everybody crowds in the kitchen and then they get in the way. I wanted more of an entertaining space. We have the lounge, but when we play boardgames, we kind of need a proper table and it's just nicer having one, bigger, functional kitchen.
My, how time flies....

First time we’ve seen the door “open”. Old door down.

It is perfection!  :)

Yours is what I aspire for mine to be like!  ;D

I got a ton of moss out of it with the scarifier these last few days. I think the problem with mine is it's too compacted. Every year I dance all over it with my aerating shoes on but that's just not cutting it!
I'm seriously thinking of getting a quote to have it professionally aerated, just this one time!

We started with a professional about 6 or 8 months ago.  Been hollow tine aerated, scarified, reseeded and fed and weed/moss control.  Looks amazing.

I’ll put photos!  I love lawns!
