Litter One – An Eco-Friendly Litter Box System Review

Aug 092013

I recently had the opportunity to experience Litter One – the eco-friendly litter box system – a 100% biodegradable, disposable, self-contained litter system – including the packaging.

Arriving in a biodegradable box, ready to be assembled – the assembly couldn’t be any easier. A few folds of the cardboard and you’re done. The system is not made of flimsy cardboard. It’s thick and will not easily bend out of shape. And when all set up – the litter box measures 19″ L x 14″ W x 9″ H sides; front opening = 4 1/2″ H x 11″ W.

The Period of Purple Crying

All babies cry – it’s their way of communicating. Their crying could mean they are hungry, need a diaper change, are cold and need to be swaddled, have gas (colic) and are uncomfortable, or they could be sick. But there is also a time in an infant’s life where you’ll see a period of increased crying during the first few months. This is said to be normal. Usually, the increased crying begins around two weeks of age, will escalate during the second month of life, and begins to taper off during the third and forth month. ALL infants cry more during this period of time and some infants cry more than others.

The letters in the word PURPLE, which PURPLE is an acronym used to help those caring for infants to recognize the characteristics of normal infant crying:

When a dog has a birthday, it’s like celebrating 7 years in one. For that reason, you have to throw a party and pull out all the stops. Your dog may be like a member of your family—one that won’t be around as long. If you’ve never thrown a birthday party for a canine, you may wonder how to prepare. Part of getting ready is having all the essential dog party supplies. For knowing which supplies to purchase, follow this guide.

Invitations

Most birthday parties involve invitations, so a dog’s party is no different. Many pet owners prefer to go to the store or order readymade invitations that have a dog theme on them. To make things a little more special, feel free to customize your invitations. You can go to a print shop and inform the attendants what you want on the invitation and how you want it designed. You can create your own invitation on the computer and have them print copies for you. They should have envelopes at the shop to go with the size of your cards. If you really want to go the extra mile, you can create individually made invitations and send them out to guests.

Make Your Own Wedding Bouquets Using Wholesale Flowers

Content, Daily Meme's, Tipsy Tuesday

May 202013

Wedding season is approaching. And if you happen to be the bride and groom – or the parents of either – you just know there are so many things to think about. So many costs involved. There are many ways that one can cut costs if you’re on a tight budget – one of those being cutting the cost of the bridal bouquets and other flower arrangements.

When I got married I opted for my bouquet to be of silk flowers while the rest of the wedding party, the flowers for the church, and reception hall being real flowers. For me – my silk arrangement was a matter of having a keepsake but I really love fresh flowers. However, there wasn’t a whole lot of money to spend on my wedding so we had to be creative, cut corners, and make compromises.

The Mid-Life Crisis – Are We All Susceptible?

May 202013

A mid-life crisis is a natural part of human existence and human nature. They can occur for many reasons and often occur from ages 40-60. Ultimately, scientists are still unsure why exactly people ‘break down’ in this period of their lives, but ultimately it comes down to two fairly simple realizations, the first is that they don’t have much time left to find the meaning that they have always thought they would find in their lives and at the same time realize that they have not done as many meaningful things in their lives to date and have possibly wasted their time. These fundamental realizations can be triggered by many different events which I am going to outline below. I will say first however, a Midlife crisis is inevitable, everyone will have one, some are more extreme than others but we humans are yet to find the true meaning of existence on the planet for ourselves and are constantly worried by that fact. My point is that life is a journey to further understanding and we each need to experience things to make our lives meaningful and midlife crisis’ are just one of those experiences. An article here on the meaning of life has definitely helped me to understand the world.

Everest Nutrition Krill Oil Review

Daily Meme's, Medical Monday, Reviews

Apr 302013

When I was asked if I’d like to review Everest Nutrition Krill Oil – I was more than happy to do so. I had heard there were benefits of omega 3 krill oil but didn’t realize there was such a difference between fish oil vs. krill oil until performing this review. You see, I have been wanting to try Krill Oil for some time now to see if I would experience any side effects before I combined it with a few other nutritional supplements in which I was going to give to my daughter in hopes to ease her ADD and anxiety issues.

Easter Dinner Meant Performing the Heimlich Maneuver

Medical Monday

Apr 022013

A personal experience which happened during our family’s Easter dinner (2013) leaves me feeling compelled to ask you if you were faced with the situation where someone was choking, could you step up to the plate and perform the Heimlich Maneuver? I didn’t think that I would be needing to put my knowledge to the test – but then, when does one?

Here’s what happened:

Tipsy Tuesday – How to Convert Recipes for the Slow Cooker

Content, Daily Meme's, Tipsy Tuesday

Mar 052013

There are just a few simple steps to consider when you want to convert recipes for the slow cooker that you’d traditionally would cook on your stovetop or in the oven.

In order to convert a recipe for slow cooker cooking the recipe has to contain some type of liquid – water, broth, wine, canned soup, or a sauce.

Steps:

Cut the amount of liquid in half
Calculate the cooking time based on – One (1) hour in the oven equals eight (8) hours on low in the slow cooker or four (4) hours on high.

When nearing the time of the dish being done:

If you think there is too much liquid – remove the cover and turn the slow cooker up to high.
If you want to make or add a sauce, add sour cream, or cheese – now would be the time to do it.

Did you know?

A slow cooker’s low heat setting is approx. 200° F (95° C)
A slow cooker’s high heat setting is approx. 300° F (150°C)
Frozen meat can go right from the freezer to the slow cooker. Just remember to increase the cooking time. The reason for browning meats is to seal in flavor and give the meat a more appetizing look after it’s done cooking – something that I never do (shame on me, but I’m totally okay with not doing it). Personally, I can’t be bothered with browning my meats.
Tougher cuts of meat come out really tender in the slow cooker, such as beef stew meat and tougher steaks (use in stroganoffs or even beef stew).

Do you like to use a slow cooker? What is your favorite dish to make?
