Dirt, dust and hair are no match for this new Hoover vacuum. The Hoover air steerable upright is your answer to whole-home cleaning. Your pets are members of the family and you couldn’t imagine life without them. But you definitely could do without the tumbleweeds of pet hair blowing down the hall and the patches of fur on the sofa,…

Adopting a Senior Cat – #ChurchandDwight #ad
Adopting a senior cat can be a win/win situation for both you and the cat you choose. While many of us think of cute, rambunctious kittens when we think of adopting a cat, there are tons of senior cats our there who desperately need homes. Everyone wants a kitten, and don’t get me wrong, adopting a kitten is still a great option. However, adopting a senior cat helps rescue an animal that could be stuck in the shelter until they run out of room for it, AND it makes your life easier because all of their house training is already done. Those are just two pros of adopting an older…

Home 2 Suites Huntsville, Alabama – Home Sweet Home
Home 2 Suites Huntsville is an affordable, welcoming, home away from home. Earlier this year I headed to TBEX, a travel blogger expo and conference in Huntsville, Alabama. TBEX rotates to many different cities and countries and there are typically 3 of these events a year. I am lucky to make it to one at most. Huntsville, Alabama and a trip to the deep south beckoned as did Space CAMP. But more on that amazing experience later. Here’s what I discovered at Home 2 Suites Huntsville. While visiting Huntsville we opted to stay at Home 2 Suites. This property is joined to the Hampton Inn and Suites by Hilton and…

How To Find a Pet Friendly Hotel #travel
If you plan to travel with your pet, one of the most important things you can do is research a pet friendly hotel from the start. Don’t get stuck. The last thing you want is to set out on a road trip and find yourself unable to locate a place to stay that allows pets. The bad news is extra fees for pets can be high. The good news is there are many resorts, airlines and hotel chains that now have pet friendly accommodations.

Pet-Sitting Charles #WordlessWednesday #ldnont
My kids started a pet-sitting business this summer. It just sort of evolved out of several requests for pet-sitters from friends of mine, some neighbours, and other bloggers. So this is one of the girl’s last jobs before they went to camp. This is one of my friend’s guinea pigs. His name is Charles. But Ainsley dubbed him Prince Charles. And this is how we pet sit. Lot of love for the pets. And if you are interested, and in my area of London, you can email me or PM me for more information about their rates. inkscrblr@rogers.com.

Are Guinea Pigs Good Pets? – Meet Skittles
We’ve had guinea pigs since Payton was seven. She got Cottonball for her seventh birthday. Cottonball lived four years at least, which is the life expectancy of a guinea pig ( 3 to 5 years). She was a super sweet easy going guinea pig. She went to school for a show and tell moment one time and was a big hit there. When Cottonball passed away and many, many, tears were shed, we took a couple of weeks before we got Hope and Buttercup. Buttercup lived just long enough for us to realize the pet store had made an error and given us a boy and a girl guinea pig.…

Five Indoor Chores Most Kids Can Do and a Reward Chart Printable
Indoor chores are simple for any age. If your children are old enough to stand at the sink then they are also old enough to learn to help. There are many small simple indoor chores even toddlers can help with daily. The trick is making any job fun and encouraging them along the way. We have a few rules at our house. One of them is that we all strive to be respectful. That is a work in progress some days, because my kids are now 11 and 13 and they often argue a lot. But even when they do that we are clear that when someone hurts another person’s feelings…
