Hello lovely blog readers! It’s everyone’s favorite day of the week! :) Here we go.
tidbit • n. • \’tid-,bit\ – 1: a choice morsel of food (i.e., ice cream!); 2: a choice or pleasing bit (as of information) :)
A HUGE landmark event happened this past week for Alyse French Photography. Get this: A 10% increase in the number of people who subscribe to my blog via Google Reader! (Granted, the number went up from 10 to 11, but hey, that’s a TEN PERCENT increase right there!!) I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, GR is absolutely fabulous and makes everyday life 129% more exciting. Why? Because it allows you to follow your all-time favorite blogs and never miss a beat!! To set up your GR account, click HERE.
Update on our search for the perfect doggy companion! We’re thinking of getting an English bulldog! Of course they can be rather noisy. (You would be too, if your nose was pushed back that far into your head!) Yes, they do drool. (I nominate Dylan to take care of that part.) But other than that, a little Sullivan bulldog would be just perfect for our little family! They’re a good size, super wrinkly and cute, extremely loyal, very chill dogs! I mean, just look at these puppies!! Any of ya’ll have/had a bulldog? What’s your take?
In West Philadelphia born and raised. On the playground is where I spent most of my dayyys. Chilling out, maxing, relaxing all cool. And doin’ some bloggin’ outside of the school. (See what I did there?) :) All of this to say, Fresh Prince of Bel-Air can turn really, really no-good days into fabulous ones. Not to mention that Will Smith is one of the most insanely talented actors in my book. Yes, I have a book.
Psst! SU WOOPED Georgetown last night. No hatin’, haters. :)
Dylan’s all mad because I stole all of his socks. Literally, I’m not sure any of the pairs in my drawer actually belong to me. Here’s my POV: How about YOU don’t leave them at MY house so I don’t have to WASH them and then WEAR them as my own. :) Actually, keep it up. They’re sooo comfy!
Umm get this! Remember Barnaby Bright? My new musical obsession? Well, my sister has some pretty sweet connections and friendships in the music industry in the N-Y-C, and has invited Barnaby to sing at our wedding!! Our day keeps becoming more and more amazing. I cannot WAIT!! :D
Four days till the big TWO-TWO!! I’m going home for the weekend, but we don’t really have any real plans other than that. Anyone have any sweet birthday-extravaganza ideas?? We’re talking EXTRAVAGANZAAA.
And just a little shout-out to some of my January birthday babies. Namely, my Aunt Colette and the ever-fabulous Jess Zieman! SO blessed to have both of you in my life! :)
Something I’ve been terrible at lately is blogging more than once a week. :( Ya’ll know what I’m talking about. Don’t you worry though, I’mma step up my game. Anyone have any fun topic or question you’d like me to blog about next?! Comment, comment, comment!
This feels like the shortest Tidbit Tuesday ever. But hopefully you’ll forgive me!! I’ll leave you with a itsy-bitsy sneak peek from a workshop I attended on Sunday! Be sure to come back on Thursday for more on that!! :)

Ashley DiPace - Hey Alyse,
I saw in your blog post that you were looking into getting a dog. Growing up I always wanted a Husky… and then when Chris and I found and got one he ended up trying to kill a few cats and dragging me down slate hill rd. (literally dragging me, I was not on my feet) we had to return him tragically… but we ended up going to a humane society shelter in Delhi (Heart of the Catskills: http://www.heartofthecatskills.org) and we fell in love with the cutest puppy ever. She is a German Shepherd Rottweiler mix (possibly some lab in there). But the point to this lengthy comment is that if anything I would recommend getting a mut as their life expectancy is longer, they’re less prone to diseases like AIDS and Cancer, and they’re less likely to suffer from skin, stomach, and bone issues that are commone in pure breeds. Plus you get to help out a little animal who might not otherwise have a chance. We paid $85 with a $35 deposit for spay/neuter (which is refunded after you get them spayed or neuterd) she came with all of her shots and deworming done. And the people there are wonderful to work with, very good with their animals and have a beautiful trail with which to take the dogs on a trial walk. I highly recommend that!
