Feed my Pooch

If you travel with your pet you might want to invest in a set of these Collapsible bowls to be able to feed them on the run. Great for both smaller dogs and cats. Too small for our Saint Bernard her snout won't even fit inside.

I think these are great since then fold flat take up nearly no room, can fit on your belt buckle or even your dogs collar while hiking, walking, or traveling. I would like to see these made in larger sizes for the large and giant breed dogs in the future. Other then that these are pretty neat.


You can find the Feed my Pooch collapsible bowls on Amazon.

Ban the Bottle

Once in a while our home purchases water bottles but most of the time we take a reusable water bottle with us. It is better then drinking soda on the run although we do that from time to time as well.

I really like the fruit infuser water bottle because it gives me a choice of plain water or infused water with fruit and if you are really crafty and have a Soda Stream or other kind of soda maker you can fizz up your water before adding your fruit for a fizzy fruit flavored drink.

Our family loves to try new mixtures. One of my favorites are strawberry's and blueberries.  This bottle had a wide mouth to put in your ice, water, then infuser with fruit, with a little strainer so the fruit doesn't come up through the drinking spout. The drinking spout is one of the most important parts. I don't always have time to unscrew a cap to get a drink I need to just be able to flip, drink, close and go about my business. Life is busy being a mom and the easier it is for me to drink water the more water I drink.

Keep your pet clean

We had a little bit of a discussion about keeping our pets clean and what scents we like them to smell like. Funny thing is I am not sure our pets always agree on what we pick for them to smell like. Until they can talk or pull away and I don't mean a little fight while giving a bath to I don't think we will really know for sure if they like it or not.

I do however let my pet smell what I am going to be putting on them and so far so good. I have had them in the past kind of turn away so I am pretty sure that is a sign they don't like it. With this shampoo she didn't turn away so it was a go. 

Bathing a Saint Bernard is hard enough, she just fits in our downstairs tub for her washing. She will get maybe two more baths before winter and then she won't get another until the spring. I don't care if she is a cold weather dog I am not going to let her shake off outside while it is cold. She is getting older and I don't want her to get sick. 

OK so back to the Fifi & Fido shampoo. While my husband says it smells like coconut cookie while I thought it smelled more like Fruit Punch, either way it makes our pet cleaner and leaves her smelling quite nice too.

Wedgnetix

Our family received the 16 pc set. The directions come with projects for the both 16 and 32 pieces so if you would like to go right into building 32 piece designs make sure you pick up the bigger kit.

You can purchase the Wedgnetix here, at Target, and Amazon.


What WEDGiTS has to say about their product.
ImagAbility, makers of the original international building block brand, WEDGiTS™, today announced that its newest attraction, WEDGNETiX™, magnetic WEDGiTS, are now available. Perfect for Back to School learning as well as early holiday shopping season.
The amazing new WEDGNETiX (MSRP $39.99 and $69.99 for 16-piece and 32-piece sets) unlocks a new construction potential of WEDGiTS building block toys.

WEDGNETiX were created to add even more open ended play patterns for children.  With WEDGNETiX, a child, or adult, can explore complex geometry and greater visual appreciation for 2D to 3D relationships. It sounds technical, but it is really just fun and kids don’t realize how educational it is.

The unique part about WEDGNETiX is the amazing building process it provides. With WEDGNETiX, you can create original 2D designs that include a square, a rectangle and a hexagon. This is accomplished through the WEDGNETiX design that has a magnet within each component.  Specifically, each WEDGNETiX bar has an embedded magnet on one end and a metal cap on the opposite end. This allows two WEDGNETiX bars to fully rotate around each other for a 360-degree rotation. With WEDGNETiX, you can rotate one half of a hexagon upward to reveal a 3D representation of a hexagon. 

WEDGNETiX do not require instructions like other popular building block products. WEDGNETiX follow the WEDGiTS toy line in that it’s open-ended design allows kids to create freely. ImagAbility does provide design ideas for kids to progress from 2D into 3D constructions, however, there isn’t any “only one way to do things” step-by-step instruction.

ImagAbility points out the extreme safety of WEDGNETiX:
A key criterion in the engineering design of the WEDGNETiX bar relieves any consumer safety concern. Each bar is a two-sided construction that has a male and a female component. When the two parts mate together they literally sandwich the cylindrical magnet between the parts. The plastic parts, made of an extremely strong ABS plastic, are pulled together, which basically melds the plastic into a single component. In addition, ImagAbility clearly identifies caution on the front of each package, that WEDGNETiX contains magnets. The product is tested and in compliance to the USA’s CPSIA and international ASTM FM963 certification.

About WEDGiTS: 
The basic set of WEDGiTS building block toys resemble square donuts and diamonds with angled edges.  The five, primary pieces of the WEDGiTS toy are graduated in size, so, the blocks actually nest together and stack into the shape of a pyramid.  Mathematicians refer to these block shapes as rhombus and octahedrons.  Each block is a different primary color, so, you can imagine a rainbow effect of color in each design a child builds. The design of each block naturally aligns in both vertical and horizontal patterns for an open-ended manipulative. 

In addition to WEDGNETiX and various traditional WEDGiTS sets, other products in the WEDGiTS line include, WEDGiTS on Wheels (WOW) and Mini WEDGiTS™, as well as WEDGiTS school activity packs, building table platforms and other accessories.

The award-winning WEDGiTS line has earned ImagAbility honors in Parenting Magazine, Toy Insider, and Learning Magazine, as well as awards and honors from the Oppenheim Toy Portfolio, National Parenting Publications of America, Mom’s Choice, National Parenting Center, Parents Choice, Dr. Toy, and Able Play’s Special Needs Approval.
