Pet Treater Monthly Subscription Box Review – August 2017
Friends are important – even if they are four-legged and furry.
Meadow has a best friend named Noodles. Noodles lives a few houses away and has grown up playing with her fellow Laberdoodle.
One of the things that I love about Pet Treater is that there is always enough items that Meadow can share with Noodles and they can play together. Continue reading
Brushing and Spending Time With Maggee and the Eazee Deshedding Tool – Review & Giveaway
If there is one thing on earth Maggee loves more than just about anything is brushing. When we adopted her from our local shelter one of our first priorities was to get her adjusted to the brush.
Each night we diligently brushed her, making sure we did not hurt her, or press to hard. Our goal was to make brushing a pleasurable thing and something she looked forward to, rather then fear. It took about a month or so, but she soon learned that no matter what brush, she loved it. As her guardians this made us happy, we knew that if it was fleas or knots, she would allow us to brush and inspect her.
Since that initial month we have been on a search for the one brush that she loves over the others. Also, since she has super dense fur our brush options can be a little limiting. When I saw the new Eazee Deshedding Brush I knew we had to give it a try, for Maggee. Continue reading

Spending 7 Days With The 2017 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport SEL AWC – A Review
I was provided an opportunity to test drive the 2017 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport SEL through DriveShop for a week – no compensation was provided and all opinions are my own.
Some weeks are more exciting than others, and the week that I got the opportunity to test drive the 2017 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport SEL, it was a normal week with little special events planned.
I decided that instead of a grand adventure far from home, I would have a grand adventure close to home. Since I live in a beach town, the opportunities for photos are vast and as big as the ocean.
Making the Bed the Easy Way with QuickZip: Zip-On Sheets and a Giveaway
The one household chore that is as tedious as it is necessary – changing the bedroom sheets. No matter how many times I try, the sheets always get pulled up from the sides, or the sheet ends up a crumbled mess.
I have often thought that there must be an easier way and it turns out I was right. When I saw an email from QuickZip about their Starter Sheet Set, I was curious if these sheets would be an easier solution than the current option.
Send a Bear Hug to a Student Away From Home with a Back To School Bear Hug Care Package Review + Giveaway
I remember the first time I moved away from home. I was a couple weeks out of high school and totally naive to the experience that lay ahead of. Those first couple weeks were an adjustment and I began to miss home quickly. I craved anything that reminded me of home, and I made many phone calls during that time.
Remembering that feeling, when I recently received the Back to School Bear Hug Care Package from GourmetGiftBaskets.com I wished I would have had something similar during those hard first weeks.
Live Clean: Fresh Water Hydrating Shampoo and Conditioner Review + Giveaway
Being a San Diego resident, if there is one thing that we do not see often it is rain, which can be a downside. The smell after a fresh rain is second to none and leaves the ground and the area around smelling fresh and clean.
One of my favorite scents is rain/fresh water. When the scent is able to be bottled up and put into a shampoo and conditioner, than you have a clear scent winner. Since I am such a “Fresh” fan I was curious if the the Live Clean: Fresh Water Hydrating Shampoo and Conditioner would meet the scent expectations i had. I will give you a hint – it did!
Joining the Evolution of Shaving with the Legacy Shave Kit – A Review & Giveaway
Let’s be honest, shopping for men can be difficult. When asked what gifts a man would like, often times you get a grunt or a moan of “I dunno”.
This gift giving predicament has been in my life since I was young girl. Each Father’s Day I would agonize and search for the perfect gift. I wanted a gift that my father would love, use and appreciate. Once I got older, I thought when I got married these gifts for men would be easier – I was wrong.
I am lucky though, my husband is very flexible and is always willing to try something new. Giving his easy going nature about trying things, even if they are gifts, when I saw that Legacy Shave had a gift set with their Evolution Brush, I knew this would be the gift that he would love, use and appreciate.
Spending Quality Time With Maggee and Delectables SqueezeUp Cat Treats + A Giveaway
Since the day that we adopted Maggee she has been giving us pieces of her personality. Prior to us adopting her she was shuttled from home to home and having kittens in between. When we adopted her we knew her history, and so we set out to not only be her last home but also her best home. We began to work with her on being held, and while frustrating at times, that seemed to be the key to her opening up.
It started with us holding her in the middle of the floor, where she had no out to jump down. Within less than a month, she was loving being held and began to seek it out. Flash forward 5 years later, being held is a vital part of her day, and she actively seeks out that love.
Now there are numerous things she has began to love, and spending time bonding with her humans is high on her list, as is food. If I can combine the two, she is in cat heaven. When we recently received the Hartz: Delectables SqueezeUp Cat Treats I knew that I could use it as a bonding opportunity with a treat.
Keep Love on the Schedule – Love Today Planner by Stampin’ Up Review + Giveaway
There are busy days ahead, there is no doubt – the school season has returned. With this new year comes appointments, meetings, carpools, assignments due and somehow finding time for you to breathe.
One of the biggest struggles is keeping all these dates and schedules straight. I have tried to make sticky notes in strategic places that I know I will see. These fall and inevitably end up doing nothing more than assisting me in forgetting the event. I have tried phone reminders but I end up “snoozing” those, and before I know it, I have snoozed through another event. There is one method that helps me keep events and dates in order – a nice planner. I am a simple gal and need a calendar, room to write events and places to put random pieces of paper.
A couple of years ago my favorite planner finally had met it’s fateful end while I was sad, I never anticipated that it would be so difficult to replace. Ever since I had that loss I have been on a search for an adequate replacement. When I saw the new Love Today Planner Kit by Stampin’ Up it was the closest thing to my beloved planner.
