Thank you to WhiskerBox for sending me this box in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own. I absolutely love being a cat owner. Having a little, furry sidekick at home is fun and so rewarding. My cat, Jimmy, calms me down and helps my anxiety. He also makes me laugh and smile every single day. I feel like I should be doing more for him - he deserves all the love, happiness, and affection for being a great best friend. I was so excited when WhiskerBox contacted me and wanted to Read more [...]

Along with the holiday season in November and December comes many traditions.  Christmas especially holds a dear place for many.  It's magical and exciting while also a very important time for our family as we celebrate the birth of Jesus on December 25th.  We've done many different things over the years including: a treasure hunt to find presents on Christmas morning, baking a birthday cake, giving each child 3 gifts to represent the Wise Men's offerings, deliver cookies to the local nursing Read more [...]

Thank you to Nutrisystem for providing me with product in exchange for this honest blog review. All opinions are 100% my own. This week I want to talk more about non-scale victories. We place way too much importance on the numbers the scale shows. We need to pay more attention to how we feel. Last time I was on Nutrisystem, I lost pounds faster than I lost inches. This time it is the opposite. I have been having a hard time with my scale numbers not changing as fast and my measurements. I had a Read more [...]

Owning a dog, especially a smaller dog, can be fairly affordable in theory. For example, if you have a dog that's around 20 pounds they require about 3/4 to 1 cup of food per day. I buy a mid-range dog food that is around $50 per 30 pound bag, and that bag lasts me 2.5 to 3 months with two dogs. That works out to roughly $10 worth of food per dog per month. Not bad at all! Even once adding on flea and heartworm medication (around $20 a month), and regular nail trimmings ($8 each at my local dog Read more [...]
