Bowza, bowwow, wow ~ has it been too long since my last blog post!! Wow!! ~ Christmas and New Years just left me paw~si~tive~ly in a bit of a permanent vacay mode!! And, as mommy reminds me…well, ah, I seem to have taken off a bit too early for Christmas!! But, alas, what’s a Westie to do?!! I’m back, I’m blogging, and I am filled with all sorts of fun ideas for the New Year!! What about you…any new goals, plans, exciting ideas for 2013?? My mom has been creating a new planner filled with all sorts of things to keep her on her paws toes, and I just bet she might share it with you one day. She decided she needed to create her own again like she did last year…make a few changes and updates to make it just perfect for her. And, I persuaded her to include a few pics of little ol’ me because I think it will keep her smiling, calm, and creative whenever she looks at my sweet face. She just so happened to agree!
Now, onto my post for today. A while back mommy and I were playing around with doing a few takes for a video. She is working on some changes to the shoppe and will be adding a fun video on her “about page” so we decided to turn the camera on and chat a bit. Well, I got a little squirmy at times (I know…who me??), she would forget what she was saying {the woman doesn’t use a script…yep, it’s a “fly by the seat of your pants” kinda thing for these productions}, or I would look as though I was on the verge of taking a nap! So, we did several and will not actually be using any of them on the site because mommy has since made some other changes so I thought we could have a little blooper day!! Now, don’t get me in trouble and tell mommy!! What she doesn’t know will make her tail wag!! heehee
*Nope, it’s not snowing at the beach…just some fun pics from an Alabama snow a few years ago! 🙂
So, I did a little digging and found one that I think you might enjoy. You may just learn a few things about our business that you didn’t already know. You did know that mommy’s business initially started out as a tea room and gift shoppe, didn’t you? Well, it did…in case you don’t know the story, take a peek at “How it All Began”. *This page will be getting a makeover soon…mommy is excited about updating it a bit! 🙂
We are working on new videos so stay tuned…Lots of fun stuff coming for 2013! 🙂 Can’t wait for you to see some of the sassy girls and other fun artwork my mom has been working on!
**Note: The link is actually above for how the business got it’s start, and this video was a “take” for one for the shoppe site…you are “on” the blog. 🙂 Bloopers, Bloopers!!
In the meantime, I need you to be sure to do something for me this year.
It’s not a tall order ~
But, it’s not small in the impact it can have.
I want you to be paw~si~tive~ly certain to
BREATHE
, I know you are thinking, “Well, gee, Tucker…I do that all the time!”
, now, now…I’m talking about the kind where you stop, take notice of your breaths,
in, breathe out…and, do it several times…
when you are feeling stressed, overwhelmed, frustrated, sad, or upset.
Mommy does this…I do it, too ~
helps so much…
, I just know it can help you, too!!
C’mon…I’m talking BIG, DEEP belly breaths!! 🙂
want you feeling good, happy, and energetic this year…
We’ve got so much to look forward to!!
Be sure to stay in touch with us on our Facebook pages, Tuesdays with Tucker and Ann-Margaret’s SpecialTea Shoppe*
And, we would love it {and, thank you sooooo much} if you would share this with your friends! We promise to keep you filled with POSITIVITY in 2013!
{That’s mommy’s word for the year, and she’ll be sharing a special post later this week all about it!}

Thank you, Anne! I’m so happy you enjoyed the video! 🙂 Many thanks to you for your encouragement and sweet support of my work! Thank you again for taking time to share it with your readers!! Really made my day, sweet friend!
You are so right! I know I don’t breathe enough…I will add this to my long list of New Year’s resolutions! I might do better if I get a little oxygen to my brain. Thanks for the encouragement.
Hi Retta! Me, too…always needing to remind myself to BREATHE a bit more!! It really does help so we must get in a regular habit of this kind Tucker is suggesting! LOL Hugs!!
Tucker is so cute. I have a yorkie or silky, who knows for sure, and my dad has two Westies. Just found you through Anne at White Lace Cottage.
Hi Kim,
Thank you so much for visiting my blog and leaving a comment! It is so nice to “meet” you…I’m so happy you stopped by. Anne is so sweet, and it meant so much to me for her to share my blog with her readers. Aww…terriers are the sweetest so I am guessing you all have lots of fun in your family! (Thank you for Tucker’s comment…he is my heart and soul, for sure! Oh, my goodness, I just popped over to your blog and cannot wait to take a stroll through it!! I love your bedding and that cow picture…that is so pretty!! It grabs my heart because my granddaddy had cows, and that picture just reminded me of him so much! Hope your week is off to a good start!
