ToughHound All Sports Dog Collar
February 26, 2013 by 5 Comments
Having a pet part of the family there are certain things you must keep in mind, one of them being what happens if they get lost? Animals of course can not speak for themselves, so you as the owner must do the next best thing and keep proper ID for each of your pets, you can find a great one at the dogbark collar store.
We have two Dogs, Baby and Spot. They are medium sized beagles who just love to run around and chase things. The male was a hunter so you can imagine he likes to get out in those woods and get down to nature. The only problem is, he likes to do is so much, he gets away from us too often. We end up going on a longer walk trying to hunt him down! He has been lost once, for a full day, even with a collar on his tag fell off, which left the person who found both dogs wondering who they belonged too. It was not pleasant to go through that, it isn’t fun for anyone at all. Their tags fall off all the time it seems and it’s a fear I have that we will end up not being able to find them for this very reason. This brings me to tell you about a wonderful ID collar that can help in this situation.
I like how tough the collar is, firm buckle stays where you put it!

How to Help Kids Improve Their Communication Skills
February 17, 2013 by 1 Comment
No matter what it is that you set out to accomplish in this world, you can get it a lot faster if you are a good communicator. Signs of someone who has really great communication skills is an individual who is a great listener, who can clearly convey their thoughts, who can interpret body language, who exudes confidence and who can express themselves both in written and verbal form.
As you’re striving to teach your child how to improve on their communication skills, there are a few tips that we recommend; ones that will easily help them to develop a way to connect with those around them and that’s something that they can carry throughout the rest of their lives.
Teach them about body language. A wise man once said that 90 percent of communication lies in things that have not been verbally expressed. It can be fun for you and your child to make different kinds of facial expressions and then have you interpret them to one another. For instance, you can roll your eyes and ask them what they think that means. Then, in return, they may squint their eyes and you can take a guess at what they’re thinking. One of the main benefits of exploring body language is that it teaches children that you have to [Read more…]

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of DISH for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.
TV shows and movies have become a necessity in many peoples lives. This is especially true with the addition of a few more screens to everyone’s homes: smart phones and tablets. With more screens comes more demand for television shows and movies.
There have been many improvements in bringing video on demand to a screen near you but one of the most interesting has to be the new Hopper Transfers. This is a new feature from Dish network. Transfers le you move a recording from the hopper at home onto an iPad to watch on the go. This may not seem like anything special but the magic is, you are able to watch the recording [Read more…]
5 Money Saving Tips for Moms
February 10, 2013 by 3 Comments
One news story that caught a lot of people’s attention last year was the one that talked about
how much it costs to raise a child. If you didn’t happen to see it, the total amount from ages 1-17 is
approximately $325,000. That’s definitely a lot of money and so we totally get why you, as a mom,
would be on the constant search for any money saving tips that you can find in order to make your
dollars stretch just as far as possible.
If you’re currently looking for some money saving tips, we have five that are sure to make
your “financial side of life” much easier so that your daily parenting responsibilities can be just as stress-
free as possible.
Eat out less. There are a lot of moms who make it a point to cook dinner every
night, but sometimes breakfast or lunch (especially when you have young kids and you’re out running
errands with them in tow) can be a bit of a toss-up. While you may prefer for them to have a home-
cooked meal, sometimes it’s simply easier to roll through the drive-thru. However, not only is that not
the healthiest option, but if you keep your receipts, it can start to add up. Instead, take a cooler with

National Geographic Books for Kids
February 9, 2013 by 7 Comments
Today we are going to look at a few new National Geographic books which are now available in a book store near you.
First up is Animal Encyclopedia. This book is big, it is 9 1/2 by 12 inches and over 300 pages long. The encyclopedia is a wonderful reference for everyone in the family. It contains over 2,500 species. Each entry includes the animals habitat, what their diet consists of, their weight and height as well as some fun facts. There are also over 1,000 full color pictures of the critters which are of the National Geographic quality of photos, its almost like being there next to them. The book is broken into sections by animal, there are mammals, birds, invertebrates, reptiles, amphibians and fish. What I find interesting about this book is that it’s the perfect table top book. Kids and adults alike like to flip through it, or pick out their favorite animals and read a quick snippet of information about them, or just flip to a random page and check out the animal. Not only is this a nice table top book, but it would also fit perfectly on that book shelf in your kid’s room, [Read more…]
