PARENTING STICKER

This is the reason I will never be allowed to be a parent.

I am pretty sure I have the sense of humor of a 15 year old boy.

But really, this funny bumper sticker is an alternative to the Baby on board sticker that is reflective, captures attention, glossy, and will help you spread the word to other drivers around you that you need to be a little safer because there is a little one in your car.

FLU SEASON

I have never had a flu shot. I don't know why. I don't get sick very often. But Fall is upon us and the flu season is in full effect....and it got me. Luckily, I have a comfortable new microfiber sheet set

(hypoallergenic, fade, stain, shrink, and dust mite resistant with deep pockets so they stay put as I get up to blow my nose every 15 minutes),

 a bit of medicine,

and a few shows from the Lifetime Movie Network saved to relieve the symptoms.

2017 MAZDA CX3

Guess who got a new car.

This girl (me).

I have been searching for products that will help keep my new automobile looking cool and in great condition. I mean, cars are expensive and I hate being embarrassed to drive someone in my car because it is dirty or messy.

My dog often goes with me on trips. She sheds like a maniac. I have a new rule that she can only ride in the back in my new car. This INNX quilted hammock dog seat cover is perfect for us. It is easy to set up (and take down if needed).  It is waterproof. Most importantly, it protects my interior from loose fur and claw marks and keeps Day-Z from thinking she needs to ride shotgun. #innxproducts

My new ride has leather seats, it gets super hot on my legs on sunny days. The Hippo front windshield sunshade is made of polyamide nylon and blocks the sun from the front windshield to keep the inside temperature down when the vehicle is parked in the sun (since I don't get a garage parking space). It also helps keep your interior looking good by protecting your vehicle from UV damage. It fits all cars with windshields no bigger than 57.7 inchesx29.2 inches. #sunhade

ALEX AND ANI #CARRYLIGHT

My favorite jewelry company has a few new pieces out called the LIBERTY COPPER Collection. These new pieces include a bit of the original copper pieces from the Statue of Liberty. How cool is that?! The purpose of this collection is to spread a message of hope around the world. Join the campaign of making one light indivisible by sharing and answering one question: What do you #CARRYLIGHT for?

Stop into your local ALEX AND ANI store, their online store, or download and shop via the Alex and Ani App so you too can wear a Token of Living History! Shop the LIBERTY COPPER Collection at ALEX AND ANI Featuring Original Copper from the Centennial Restoration of the Statue of Liberty!

GET OUTDOORS

It is now officially Fall. I think this is the best time to be outdoors because it isn't too hot and isn't too cold. Yes, it's just right to be outside enjoying nature. Make sure you have good gear to keep you safe AND comfortable as you go out.

I love this Bright Outdoors Picnic Set. It is a slim wallet with utensils, plates, napkins and such for two people. All you have to do is add a blanket, food, and friend. #thebrightoutdoors

If you like to cookout when you go camping, the Stolevar Ultralight Camping Cookware set is awesome. It comes with everything you need to prepare, cook, and eat your meal...and then clean it all up afterwards. #messkit

If you plan on being out for a long time, then you know you need to have sufficient water. You can easily use this Hydration Pack Backpack with 2L Water Bladder. It only weighs 1lb with empty water bladder and 5lbs when full. #ArcticCurrent

#TripWorthy HAMMOCK

I am obsessed with being outside lately to enjoy this wonderful weather we have been having in Utah. My favorite way to enjoy it is relaxing in my camping hammock. They are easy to set up and take down. They come with storage bags attached to them and all the necessary items to hang them. It is made of parachute-grade nylon fabric that will allow you to enjoy it with another person if you want (snuggle time). 

I talk them up so much, that I have friends asking to borrow them. Why wouldn't I share? Get outside and enjoy this beautiful world.

If you aren't close enough to me to borrow mine, you buy your own HAMMOCK here.

STORKS / BABY SHOWER

I was able to see a screening of the movie Storks. Storks is a Warner Bros. Pictures presentation that is going to be released in 2D and 3D in select theaters on 9/23/16.

Storks deliver babies…or at least they used to. They have moved on to delivering other goods, but the Baby Making Machine accidentally gets turned on and one last delivery needs to be made. The animated adventure features voices from well-known talent like Andy Samberg, Kelsey Grammer, Key & Peele, Danny Trejo, and Katie Crown. It is hilarious and you NEED to see it. Find out more about the movie on it's Facebook page. #Storks is Rated PG and will have the whole family laughing.

In spirit of this film hitting theaters this month, and my best friend being super pregnant, we have a baby shower planned. I discovered a cool baby shower kit that makes planning so easy.

 It is a cute box that comes with almost everything you need for hosting a shower like

thank you cards, 

 games, mommy advice card keepsakes/favors, place cards for seating,

and cute, easy to assemble decorations.

All you have to add is some food, a pregnant lady, and friends and family...and then wait for the stork to deliver the cute bundle of joy.

DIXIE CHICKS SERIOUS

What do you do when your best gal pal's favorite musicians come to town?

You get a group together who are ready to run to dress up in black and white outfits just like the band.

You go early to save wide open spaces for your party of ten.

Thank you, Dixie Chicks for taking us away to memories from almost 15 years ago.

PROVO PUPPY PADDLE POOL PARTY

It's the end of the summer season and that means the public swimming pools are closing. There is a day between when the pool officially closes to the public and the water is drained where the community can bring their dogs to swim.

There were separate times for small and large dogs to play.

 The entire pool area was open for them to run and play off-leash.

The dogs were having so much fun playing and splashing.

 Some even went down the waterslide.

There was a swimsuit and talent contest.

It was a pawsome event put on at Provo Recreation Center!

It's just another reason I love living in Utah County.

The event was free for humans and $5 per dog.

Be sure to join the fun next year or look for your city's turn to host HERE.
