Earthborn Holistic EarthBites: Promote Healthy Skin & Coat!

When choosing treats for your pups, sometimes it's important to choose special formulas.  Since our dogs are large breeds, we often choose dog treats that promote healthy hips and joints.  We also give them peanut oil to ensure they have healthy skin and a shiny coat as well.

I am fortunate enough to be a Chewy Influencer and in exchange for my honest reviews, my three spoiled furry children get special food and treats, delivered right to our door, every month!  Zena (English Mastiff), Thor (Great Dane/Mastiff), and Hercules (Neapolitan/English Mastiff) are some really lucky dogs!  When they see the blue Chewy.com box being delivered, it's almost like they know it's for them!

One of the special dog treats they got to enjoy this month was the Earthborn Holistic EarthBites moist dog treats; Skin & Coat formula.  We live in North Idaho where the winters are cold, so it's important for us to maintain our pups skin and fur.

   

Zena, Thor, and Hercules thought these moist dog treats were something special!  They are perfect for dogs of all ages and sizes.  These treats can easily be broken into smaller pieces for small dogs or puppy training too!

Educational Board Games for Kids ~ The Perfect Christmas Gift!

 

As a mom, aunt, and teacher --- I love games that combine fun and learning!

Rooster Race and Monkeys Up are award-winning, simple-to-learn, fun to play, and provide educational value. These educational board games are fun for the whole family but will also help kids practice memory, logic, addition, subtraction, logic and motor skills. 

 

When playing Monkeys Up, you compete to get the highest set of three monkeys. Each monkey has a value hidden under its feet that is only revealed when flipped. Players take turns rolling a cube and completing the action; switch, steal, or flip.

Sgt. Stubby – An American Hero (Holiday Gift Guide Giveaway)

 

Based on an incredible true story, the heartwarming, family-friendly animated adventure, Sgt. Stubby – An American Hero deploys on Blu-ray, DVD, Digital and On Demand December 11, 2018 from Paramount Home Media Distribution.

This is the perfect gift to give a child in your life this Christmas - in fact - this is a gift that the entire family will love!  The critically acclaimed animated family film, is based on a true story, and has been lauded by critics and received the Dove Foundation’s “All Ages” Seal of Approval and Parents’ Choice Gold Award! 

Sgt. Stubby – An American Hero depicts the little-known true story of the unbreakable bond between a young soldier and a stray dog on the brink of America’s entry into World War I. For his valorous feats, Stubby is still recognized today as the first dog promoted to the rank of Sergeant in the U.S. Army and the most decorated dog in American history.  He is also widely considered the forerunner to the U.S. Army’s working dog program. The delightful animated film shows the world that the greatest heroes can come from the unlikeliest places.

Beyond his military exploits, Stubby’s status as an adopted stray has resulted in nearly a century of recognition by animal rescues and welfare organizations. As part of the film’s theatrical release, Fun Academy partnered with more than 90 regional and national animal organizations across all 50 states – including the Humane Society of the United States and the Westminster Kennel Club – to shine a light on the human-animal bond and the amazing things adopted animals can do when given a chance in life.

Holiday Gift Guide Children’s Book Giveaway: Mother Earth’s Lullaby & If da Vinci Painted a Dinosaur!

I have always encouraged my children to look at books and read, even when they were toddlers.  Books let their imaginations run free and take them to places unknown.  Books also fill their minds with knowledge and facts that will fuel them for life!

I give my children, nieces, and nephews books for their Birthday and Christmas every year! You're never too old to receive a book. 

Even as an adult, I enjoy reading and looking through children's books.  I remember how much I loved reading to my kids when they were young, and now I get the pleasure of doing the same with my niece and nephew!
