All Natural Dinner and Dessert Doggie Style

    Yes, I cook for my fur girls. They have dry kibble available at all times, but I supplement that with healthy meals from the kitchen. Today I want to share you with a quick and easy omelet with a healthy dessert.


All Natural Dinner and Dessert Doggie Style


    I know that cooking every day for your family, let alone your pets may not be feasible. Heck, I don't cook for them every day. I try to, but sometimes life gets in the way. However, this recipe is simple and your dogs, and even the cat will love it! 

    First off you're going to need a couple of things. The first of which is the Pet Greens Medley from Chewy. We've talked about this before. For under three bucks you can grow your very own pet greens for your dogs and cats. It's super easy, and it grows so well! 



    You're also going to need the dessert! I chose the Wellness CORE Grain Free Marrow Roasts. These treats are made from all natural ingredients. They're grain, wheat, corn, soy and gluten free. Made from real beef without by products, they're packed full of calcium, iron, zinc, and Vitamin A. Best of all, your fur babies will love them!



Let's Get Cooking!


    For this omelet I used four eggs. (Fresh farm eggs are wonderful, but store bought works too! I had to use store bought because my sister delivers my eggs on Friday evenings.) I trimmed back my pet greens (which usually needs done every few days,) and then cut them up into smaller pieces.



    Mix your eggs, add a quarter of a cup of milk, and whisk well. Then add your greens and whisk again. Pour the mixture into a heated frying pan, and cook as you normally would. When mine was done, I added just a bit of shredded sharp cheese for flavor, and a calcium boost. Voila, instant doggie style omelet. By the way, the cat enjoyed a little bit of it too! 


    Plate your omelet, and let it cool before serving. Then sit back and watch as your fur baby devours it. This simple meal is super healthy for them. It adds easily digestible protein to their diet, as well as riboflavin and selenium. Cooking for your pets is a rewarding experience for everyone involved. You could even get your kids to help and teach them how to cook, as well as valuable math skills such as measuring and fractions!

Spring Cleaning with Pets

    Believe it or not, it's actually Spring. (Super hard to believe since they're calling more plowable snow tomorrow!) I've already started my spring cleaning because with kids and pets, this house was in dire need!


Spring Cleaning with Pets


     Pets add so much love to our lives. They also add fur and messes to our homes. After a long and never ending Winter our homes are due for a good over haul! So let's talk cleaning with pets!

Using Safe Cleaners


    Having children and fur children made me rethink what I used to clean my home. I didn't want cleaners with harsh chemicals that could harm them. But I also wanted cleaners that actually work! Did you know that you can mix up your very own household cleaning sprays, and they work wonderfully?

     For my counters and kitchen cleaning, I use a mix of two tablespoons of baking soda and half of a cup of white vinegar. I add in a few drops of essential oils for scent, and top off my spray bottle with distilled water. That's it! It keeps my counters spotless and works great even in the nasty oven and microwave. Plus, it's pretty pet and kid safe (as long as they won't be drinking it!)

    If you're looking for a pet safe window cleaner, try mixing half a cup of white vinegar, and a teaspoon of dish soap. This will wipe grime from your windows while leaving a streak free shine!



     I also make my own furniture polish. I use two tablespoons of olive oil, a few drops of lemon essential oil, and a quarter of a cup of white vinegar. Using a funnel, pour it into your spray bottle. Shake well before each use. My wooden furniture has never looked better!

Cleaning Your Rugs


    As you know, kids and pets also do a pretty good job of messing up our carpets. For my everyday cleaning, I swear by my Bissell Pet Hair Eraser. I've had quite a few vacuums over the years, and none of them could compare to my Bissell. Our Shepherd is a hairy beast, and our Bissell is the bomb when it comes to cleaning up her fur!



    Speaking of fur. One way to keep your carpets clean is to brush your pets and remove their excess fur BEFORE they shed it onto your rugs. I brush Bayleigh daily with this pet brush. It takes off her loose fur, as well as getting right down to her under coat. I've never used a better brush, and you will love it too!




Will Work for Treats


     My Shepherd loves to help me around the house. And by help I mean follow me from room to room and insist on kisses while I clean. But she's cute, and she works for treats, so it's all good. She happens to be very fond of these Blue Buffalo Wilderness Trail Treats in Duck. They're grain free as well as gluten, corn, and soy free. With no artificial colors, preservatives, or flavors, they make a tasty AND healthy treat for your fur baby!

Charge Devices in One Hundred and Fifty Countries

    If you or someone you love is getting ready to travel abroad, then you have to grab this Achoro Travel Adapter. With three different sockets it's sure to fit any outlet you encounter on your travels.


Charge Devices in One Hundred and Fifty Countries


    I have yet to leave the country, but having friends in various ones, I know how much our outlets differ. That means if you're traveling abroad, your typical USB chargers are going to be useless. That's where the Achoro Travel Adapter comes in.



    This adapter has three different socket types that can easily be slid out for use. When you need to switch to a different type, just slide one back in, and slide another out! It's really that easy! The plugs will work in the United States, the United Kingdom, Europe and Australia.


Three USB Ports and One C Type Port


    The Achoro Travel Adapter has three USB ports to charge various smart devices simultaneously. It also comes with a C Type Port. Many newer devices are upgrading to USB C Type ports, so you'll have a port for any device that you own.


Safe to Use


    The Achoro Travel Adapter also has a built in fuse. You can feel safe knowing that the fuse will trip before an electrical fire can spark. It also comes with a spare fuse, so you won't be caught off guard in a new country.


     

Keep the Couch Looking New and Fur Free


    As a pet mom, I know all too well the havoc they can wreak on a couch. However, it isn't just them. Kids tend to be slobs too! If you're looking to keep your couch looking like new, then this post is for you!


Keep the Couch Looking New and Fur Free


    Our furniture is always covered in pet fur. Between the shepherd's long coat, the mutt's short hairs, and the cat's fluffy fur, there's always something left behind. Our home isn't home without pet fur! However, I don't want it all over our clothing, let alone have my guests covered in it. Which is why I decided on this couch cover by INNX.

    The cover shields our gorgeous couch from our girls fur, as well as protects it from my son. He's always on the move, and tends to spill and create a lot of crumbs. In order to keep my couch looking like new, I had to do something. I love how the cover looks, (its made of really nice, quilted microfiber suede,) and adore how I can easily remove it when I have guests coming. Therefore, my couch underneath looks brand new, and there's no worry about pet fur being left behind for my guests to sit on.


Easy On and Off, as Well as Machine Washable


    Putting this INNX slipcover on is super easy. It has a strap that goes around the back of your couch to hold it in place. It also has extra side anchors, that you slip between the arms and cushion to help keep it in place.

    When it's time to wash your couch cover, simply toss it in the washer, and set to a cold, gentle wash. Just hang it to dry when it's finished. Easy peasy!


I Love it!


    I love that the INNX Couch Slipcover looks. As well as how it keeps my couch looking like new. When guests come over, I just slip it off and there's no dog hair on my couch to pester my guests. If you have pets and kids, then you're going to love it too! To get yours, click here!

Give Dad the Gift of Safety

    If you're looking for the perfect Father's Day gift, then look no further. This year you can give dad the gift of safety for his vehicle.


Give Dad the Gift of Safety


    The Auto Escape Safety Hammer from Rohomii will be the perfect gift for dad (or husband, or even significant other.) It features a hammer point on both sides. Made from durable carbon steel which is tested on 10mm glass before sale, you know it will hold up in an emergency.

     In the event that the seat belt is locked, the Auto Escape Safety Hammer has a seat belt cutter. It's on the opposite end, and shaped like a hook. This way it will cut the seat belt, but not the users hands. No one wants to think about malfunctions and car accidents, but the truth is, they happen. In the event that they do, we want our loved ones prepared.


Two Pack for Two Vehicles


     Rohomii's Auto Escape Safety Hammer comes in a pack of two. I love that because if you have more than one vehicle, you'll have a hammer for each. Their focus is safety so when you order the safety hammer, it also comes with a cell phone ring stand and vent clip. The ring stand attaches right to the vent clip for hands free use while driving. So this Father's day, give dad the gift of safety, and yourself the gift of peace of mind.

Dresses and More for Any Occassion

    Yesterday was Easter, and many of us don our nicest clothes. But whether you're looking for clothing for church, school dances, and more, Sophia's Style has a full selection for both boys and girls alike.


Dresses and More for Any Occasion


    I first came across Sophia's Style last spring when I was looking for baby girl dresses for a friend of mine. I immediately fell in love with not only their wide array of styles, but also their prices too. Quality clothing and affordable prices is a rare find these days!

    This Spring, I wanted to choose a dress for my sweet niece. She loves to wear fancy dresses, and with Easter service right around the corner, I knew my sister in law would be looking for the perfect dress for Ash. Once again, Sophia's Style did not disappoint.


My Niece and Her Mom are in Love


    The Neon Pink Wool Dobby Dress I chose, came just in time for Easter! On good Friday it was here and my husband took it over for my niece. I immediately sent my sister in law images and she couldn't wait to see it in person. My niece loved it, as did my sister!

    The color is beautiful and so on point with the bright colors that are in right now. The pearls around the waist are the perfect touch. Oh, and did I mention, it has flounce? There's crinoline type lining underneath so the lower portion has some flair.

    With the v neckline and the pearls, it reminds me of an up to date dress that Audrey Hepburn would wear today. It's absolutely gorgeous. I may be bias but my niece looks so beautiful in it!



So Much More


    Sophia's Style has a full selection of clothing for babies, toddles, kids, tweens and teens. They have outfits for both girls and boys, as well as accessories. From bow ties, hair ties, and so much more. Amazing prices and fantastic customer service make Sophia's Style a top place to shop! Check them out!
