Winter and your pets

Iowa winters are seriously no joke sometimes! Today for example its like all of -8 and Im pretty sure thats not taking in the wind chill.

I am sitting at me desk working and I myself am constantly cold so I of course have my handy space heater blowing right on me.  My jack russell is sitting in front of the heater as well. ( Hes just a lil guy after all)  I look down at him and hes just chillin hanging out soaking up all the heat. I reach down pick him up put him in my lap and Im cuddling him. Jack looks at me like "yo can you put me back at the heater?"

I have a pretty decent size hoodie on and he looks sleepy and so this happens....


My point is that if you are cold your animals are probably cold too. Yes its cute and yes he is so very spoiled! I know that not everyone spoils their animals Im not saying that by any means. What I do think is that there are far too many animals that are left outside on days like this brutally cold with no shelter. This is really unacceptable. I understand that in history dogs were left outside and were fine. That may be true, but that doesnt make it right!

Our animals depend on us for nearly everything in their life not just love. 

Jack also wants to say...

Please make sure your furbabies are warm and safe in this kind of weather! 
A safe and comfortable dog is a happy dog!

grilling gloves!!


These grilling gloves are so cool! Ive been toying with the idea of getting some but Honestly I was super worried about melting or not working the way they say these do. Now I know its been too cold to grill so i haven't used them on the grill but Im excited to use them when it warms up but for now i use them to take stuff out of the oven

But guess what else i do! I can steam clean my ring holding it using these too and i dont hurt myself! ( I LOVE IT!)


I received this product at a discount for review and testing purposes! My review is unbiased and 100% honest!

But 1st let me take a SELFIE!




Ok ok ok so I know a lot of people think (selfie sticks) aren't cool..I was one of them.. I personally love taking pictures of the kids and myself and sometimes it's just really hard to take a good picture and not look real weird trying to get everything into the picture!

I love the Mpow Extendable Aluminum Monopod with Built-in Bluetooth Remote Shutter
Pros-
- For android AND IOS as well as gopro cameras!
- expands out pretty far ( about 2 and a half feet i guess give or take)
- easy bluetooth syncing
- rechargeable so NO BATTERIES to worry about!
- comfortable handle that is easy to grip!
- phone stays secure! ( no worries about falling out and having to file insurance on a phone)

CONS or things i didn't like
- I have the lg G4 with a slim fit case I had to take my case off to fit my phone into the grips, it was still pretty tight. but it did fit, i found it was a lil hard for me to get my phone out because it was a tight fit. ( would be perfectly fine if it would open up just a lil bit farther ) even so i still love the monopod because I can get some pretty good shots! ( i have other devices i can use like my droid razr fits just fine in there and so does my ipods and other phones)

I was provided a Mpow Extendable Aluminum Monopod for testing and review and was asked only to give my honest review.

Live Infinitely..Indeed!

Yesterday was not so much fun. I had to go grocery shopping and I dislike that very much. I get home and realize I have to leave again and go to the bank. Needless to say I really just wanted to relax. Seriously my Hammock from Live Infinitely arrived just in time to save my whole day!

I've been anxious about this Item because I have wanted a hammock for over 4 years now! So when I returned from the bank Todd said I have a surprise on my chair. I went to my desk and found these.

(This is actually a very pretty  purple but the flash makes it look pink. )

I had already done some research on the item so I wasn't surprised. When you look at the bags you probably think.. there is no way that is everything to set up a hammock. IT IS!

One of the COOLEST things about this hammock is that that this purple bag is attached to the hammock! This is good for me because I always seem to lose things. Plus when you set this up.. you have a place to not only hold the strap pouch, but maybe even your phone or something. 

So Todd and I went out right away ( because I NEVER take no for an answer) and were trying to find a good place to set it up. I was VERY excited to get it up and climb in that I just settled on the 2 trees that were clearly close enough to be functional. It literally took us 5 minutes to decide on trees. 
The Actual set up process was quite fast and really easy!

I thought I would share my video of the us using this awesome hammock. 



I want to give you a quick update since this video I can say that officially I was able to set mine up today in just under 5 minutes! I'm so in love with this product that you bet I'm going to use it EVERYDAY that the weather will allow me to be outside! I've fallen in love with this hammock so much that i'm going to buy another one this spring so I don't have to share mine with Todd!

I want to send a BIG thanks to owners Alicia and Shad! Not only did you provide me with a GREAT product that I have been wanting for such a long time but you make it easy to brag about because it's super affordable!
