    Hoover Air Steerable Pet Keeps the Hair at Bay

    August 15, 2018 /

    I am a Hoover ambassador and as such I have been compensated. My opinion is all my own and it is truthful.  Hoover Air Steerable Pet Upright Vacuum is an excellent option if you have a pet or if you just have a lot of hair in your home in general. 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

    October 7, 2017 /

    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

    June 20, 2017 /

    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

    August 30, 2016 /

    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. You will want to research and find the best hotel for your situation and then book your room in advance to ensure you and your pet have a…

    Tweet Up a Storm With Little Live Pets #Giveaways

    September 2, 2015 /

    I’ve had my eye on these Little Live Pets for quite a long time now. When I heard they had owls available I was hoping to get one for the girls. Their old school mascot was an owl. And really who doesn’t love owls? They are quirky and fun. These talking pets are hours of awesome. Just place them in your palm and listen to the adorable songs. We received Nightstar Owl mother and Baby and Little Live Pets Tweet Talking Birds. I also have one Tweet Talking Cockatoo Bird to gift to one lucky reader too, so pay attention to the rules at end of this post. Little Live…

    Pet-Sitting Charles #WordlessWednesday #ldnont

    August 18, 2015 /

    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

    June 3, 2015 /

    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

    April 6, 2015 /

    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…
