Do you have a creative child on your holiday shopping list? Are you a parent that dreads letting your child paint because of the hassle and mess?

Kwik Stix and Thin Stix are tempera paint sticks that allow children of all ages to paint without making a mess. Plus they can be used on multiple products. Simply uncap, twist, and paint! The only difference between the two is that the Thin Stix are longer and thinner, which are better for older children.

 

The Magic Stix markers are a new product. would you believe me if I told you that these markers won’t dry out for 7 days with the cap off?   It's true, and it is guaranteed!

Purina Pro Plan Focus Digestive Health Dog Treats (Review)

If your pets are anything like ours... they are spoiled!  I feel as though I have a husband and 4 kids, instead of a husband, 2 kids and 2 dogs. 

I am fortunate enough to be a Chewy Influencer and in exchange for my honest reviews, my two spoiled pups get special food and treats every month!  Zena (English Mastiff) and Thor (Great Dane/Mastiff) are lucky dogs!  When they see the blue Chewy box being delivered, it's almost like they know it's for them!

Thor and Zena recently had the privilege to sample a bag of Purina Pro Plan Focus Digestive Health dog treats.  When I opened the bag, they smelled good enough for me to eat; they smell like jerky. They are soft and moist, are the perfectly bite-sized.
