Hot Hot Hot!  We've had a Summer heat advisory for several days this week and have been doing our best to stay cool.  One day, we even spent four hours at a friends place enjoying their lake front.  I loved seeing the kids try out paddle boarding for the first time as well as watch how adventurous our 4 and 5 year old boys were when it came to swimming out to the raft by themselves (with life jackets on).  But when it's this hot out, our little pups just can't enjoy the outdoors like usual as Read more [...]

I was sent a Surprise My Pet box to review. All opinions are my own. I've shared several Surprise My Pet dog subscription box reviews in the past. I am happy to be back with a review of another box.

Thank you Lunapads for this package of goodies! So with the return, I've decided to look into some greener alternatives than the typical store bought disposable options I've always previously used.  For years, it's been on my Read more [...]

  Thank you to Pet Gift Box for sending us this box of goodies for Angel! Minnesota is fondly called the land of 10,000 lakes and that's with good reason.  Fishing is hugely popular no matter if the lakes are frozen solid or flowing freely.  While our kiddos do enjoy fishing, we end up just hanging out at the local beach more often since we don't own a boat.  Fishing off the docks doesn't typically yield much for results as those little guys are quite smart about how to get fed and Read more [...]
