So last year for Christmas, for the first time ever, we decided to swap our traditional prime rib roast for the Feast of the Seven Fishes on Christmas Eve. Our cousins are half Italian and were spending the holiday with us for the first time in a while, so instead of having another year of endlessly […]
Barley, Our Goldendoodle Growing Up
It’s been a while since we last posted a Barley the Goldendoodle update, so to make up for it, we’ve got a massive Barley post for ya’ll today. Since she insisted on practically doubling in size every week, here’s a full recap! Day 1: A new member of the family! When we drove out to […]
A Primer in Puppy Obedience
Puppy obedience has, at times, felt like a vast ocean on which we are just a tiny wooden raft bobbing along, trying to steer with nothing but a milk bone and a tired chewed up leash in hand. Puppies are indeed cute, but they are by no means an easy job. We’ve compiled a list […]
Barley’s First Weeks and Puppy Training Treats

Bringing Up Barley: The Puppy Chronicles
Hey Woks of Life Readers, Sarah here. Today, we’re officially introducing you to Barley, our new puppy who will (hopefully) become the perfect dog, hence the puppy chronicles. We have our hopes. We have our doubts. But mostly, we have biodegradable poop bags and a 32 oz. bottle of Nature’s Miracle Stain & Odor Remover. If […]
The Woks of Life Christmas Wishlist

It’s this and other follies that result in us seriously jonesin’ for kitchen gadgets this time of year–both practical and [delightfully] not-so-practical. Here’s our […]
