Doggy Baths made easy




 I have heard of dry shampoo for humans but until now I hadn't heard of a dry shampoo for dogs. Even though our Saint Bernard tolerates baths, in the winter we don't want to give her one because I don't want her to get sick while she is shaking off outside and then tracking in icicles in on her fur to dry off after.

With this Dry Dog Shampoo from Paw Choice we really do have another choice and a great way to keep her clean during the long winter months without worry about her getting sick from going out after her bath to shake off.

Made in the USA with Mango, Pomegranate, and Coconut for a clean coat anytime of year. Great for dogs who don't like to get wet or take baths as well.


You can purchase Paw Choice Dry Dog Shampoo on Amazon.

Keep those shoes smelling fresh



With school starting up that means sports almost everyday for next few months with a few weeks off between the next sport here in our home. So that means lots of stinky gym and sports sneakers, not to mention my husband's own stinky shoes. 

I never understood stinky feet or shoes, I think because mine have never smelled before, but I guess not everyone is as lucky as I am to have stink free feet, and apparently my children didn't get the non stink gene from me either. 

We have tried crumpled up newspaper, washing the sneakers, socks, feet, etc but nothing seems to work long term. Now we use sneaker odor eliminator sprays and things have started smelling a lot better around here. Just a spritz or two depending on shoe size after use is all it takes. I also encourage my children to not wear the same shoes everyday, which is hard when you are playing sports because you need those shoes almost everyday. We just make sure to spray them after use and leave them where they can air dry overnight so they are ready to go the next day. 

Works well and sure saves me from looking around the house to find out where the stink is coming from to just find out they are just shoes causing the problem.

You can purchase All natural shoe odor eliminator on Amazon.

Gearing up for school


It is almost school time here for my children and I want to make sure their tech devices are always charged and ready to go. I try to get them to tech now when ever possible and they are pretty good with it, but when winter rolls in and there is nothing to do but shovel or be inside they tend to get a little more attached to their tech items when we aren't doing something together as a family.

This cord will have your children's tech items charged and ready to go. If your children have cell phones then you might want to make sure they are powered up in case of emergency so you can get a hold of them or they can get a hold of you.

If you have a AC wall adapter with a USB port you can charge your products even quicker. This lighting cord does not come with one but they are somewhat easy to find for a low price. I know my children have a habit of losing their cords or they break and we need to replace them quite often. Gnome Workshop helps me save money but keeping their prices low so I can keep our devices running.

You can purchase the Gnome Workshop lighting to USB cable on Amazon.

Don't forget to protect your eyes


My 18 year old daughter loves to wear sunglasses but has a hard time finding a pair that fit over her glasses so when these came in she was super excited because she can wear both her glasses and sunglasses at the same time.

No I don't do contacts, if my children want them they have to work and pay for their own just like I had to. Our insurance doesn't pay for them so glasses are her only choice until she can pay for them on her own.

She loves the color, we ordered the Orange pair, she also likes that they are mirrored so no one can see her glasses behind them. She likes that they fold well, they aren't too hard to fold and aren't so wobbly that they won't hold on to a shirt or bag when not worn.

Perfect for summer, weekends, beach, sun, and fun.

You can purchase Sunraze sunglasses on Amazon.



What Sunraze has to say about their product.
The Sunraze reflective wayfarer sunglasses combine the vintage feel of the classic wayfarer design with a modern twist of style and spunk.
