The Baby Food Experiment







We decided to give babyfood a try...figured perhaps if the food was good enough for babies, it would certainly be good enough for bichons....right?? Wrong. Have you shopped in a babyfood aisle lately?? HOLY Cow! Babyfood is downright expensive...we couldn't believe it!! The girlz are happier eating Little Cesar food with Natural Balance and Solid Gold. So much for the great experiment...

Crocs: A Thing of the Past??


Crocs used to be SOOOOOO big??? Do you remember??

Do you remember just last summer we were all singing the praises of Crocs....or not. Some of us with major foot problems thought they were fabulous! They were not the most attractive thing...but hey, there is something to be said for comfort!!

I ran across this article....and it appears that Crocs are not doing so well and may very well be a thing of the past.

Will you miss them? Edited to add: SOME people REALLY hate Crocs! Check THIS out!

Inspiration for the Day


I’d gone through life believing in the strength and competence of others; never in my own. Now, dazzled, I discovered that my capacities were real. It was like finding a fortune in the lining of an old coat.

Inspiration for the Day


We cannot give what we do not have. We cannot bring peace to the world if we ourselves are not peaceful. We cannot bring love to the world if we ourselves are not loving. Our true gift to ourselves and others lies not in what we have but in who we are.

Inspiration for the Day


I have been impressed with the urgency of doing. Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Being willing is not enough; we must do.

Cool Way to Entertain Hot Dogs!!


Check out this Kool Dogz Ice Treat Maker - a cool way to treat your dog. It entertains, hydrates, cools, and treats. Kit contains heavy duty steel base and extension rod, deep water reservoir to collect water as it melts, ice treat recipes, reusable/freezable bucket with lid, stainless steel cap bar.

On those super hot days, what dog wouldn't just love entertaining themselves with this thing??? My girlz and The Big Guy aren't huge fans of ice, but I'm thinking this might be a fun toy for them!

Dogs Need Cool Snacks Too!!


Summertime is fun time. Check out the Kool Dogz Ice Treat Maker.

Make sure that puppy of yours stays super hydrated...and KOOL!

Neither my girlz or my big guy are huge fans of ice, but maybe your dog is...check out the big block of ice with treats frozen inside! I would think this would be a pretty KOOL treat for a hot dog on a hot afternoon!!

Thanks to Dr Jon!!

Toyota vs. Honda




Give me some feedback here guys....we are looking at two cars...for a more economical option to our Jeeps. We are looking at the Toyota Yaris and the Honda Fit. One of the main reasons we are seriously looking at the Honda Fit is because it is towable...flat...on all four wheels. Right now we are renting cars as we go along on the road...but at some point we may look into towing our own vehicle...besides my scooter - ha!

Now...given a choice...I would definitely go with a SUBARU Impreza...WRX...I LOVE this car!!! And nothing beats it in the snow...NOTHING!! But, it's too much $$$ right now. Sigh.

Any ideas ? Feedback? Good or Bad?? Did you happen to NOTICE the COLOR of that Honda....PURPLE!!! Can you guess which color we are going to get!!! Ben refused to even consider anything remotely pinkish...
