Happy and Healthy Trails

Camping is one of the most affordable vacation options around. However, the idea of “roughing it” doesn’t appeal to all travelers, especially ones who are concerned about staying safe, healthy and happy while on holiday with their loved ones. Working with unpredictable elements can be intimidating for some folks; however, with a little planning, you can make the most of what Mother Nature doles out. For example, if you are worried that eating healthy may be out of the question during an outdoor camping trip, consider the following tips. For starters, you don’t have to limit your camping menu to … Continue reading →

Enter Amtrak’s “Happy Feet Two” Sweepstakes

Are you ready for more adorable, dancing, singing, penguins? Enter the Amtrak “Happy Feet Two” Sweepstakes. You could win a trip for four to the “Happy Feet Two” premiere in Los Angeles, California. The first “Happy Feet” movie featured a cartoon penguin named Mumble. The little guy was born dancing, which made him quite different from the rest of the penguins. This is definitely a kids movie, and it involves lots of musical numbers, songs, and penguins who either sing, dance, or do both. The sequel to the “Happy Feet” is called “Happy Feet Two”, (which makes it easy to … Continue reading →

Scrapbooking When You Have Kids Under Your Feet

As time has gone on, my scrapbooking supplies have grown. Probably quadrupled since that first set of supplies I bought. My family has grown too. When I first started scrapbooking, I had no children, and lots of time. Oh how I wish I had that kind of time now. But, I don’t, and being a stay at home Mom of two kids that are still at home makes it challenging. I don’t want to put my scrapbooking on hold until they are in school, but, I have to prioritize and figure out ways to keep them happy while I sneak … Continue reading →

Goodbye, Favorite Shoes! Hello… Happy Feet?

I put my favorite pair of sneakers in the trash today. Now I’m sad. They were New Balance slip-on sneakers — no laces to tie when I was running late, just slip my feet in and keep moving. Perfect for wearing to my part time job at the cats-only boarding facility, because they were so easy to put on and take off (we change into scrubs when we get to work and change back when the shift is over — another place where not having to tie shoes is SO handy). But after more than a year of being my … Continue reading →

Happy Feet

Posted on by

“Happy Feet” is an animated tale of the struggles faced by a penguin. The story begins before the little penguin, Mumble, is even born. It shows the hardships that penguins go through in hatching and carrying for their eggs. The movie gives some insight on the roles carried out by the male and female penguin. These clips give some resemblance to those that can be seen in “March of the Penguins”. Right from hatching, everyone knows that Mumble is different. He hatches late and comes out dancing with his feet. Mumble’s breed of penguins is known for their heart song … Continue reading →

Happy Birthday “General Hospital”

When I was in college I was a die-hard “General Hospital” fan. Okay, maybe I wasn’t as crazed as some other girls who rearranged their class schedule so they could watch the show each day at 2 p.m., but I was pretty dedicated. Looking back I’m not sure what it was about this particular soap that hooked me. It was probably because at the time it starred some of the best looking guys on daytime TV. But I digress. The popular soap opera is celebrating a major milestone–45 years on TV. “General Hospital” is ABC’s longest-running daytime series and has … Continue reading →

Wipey Feet

My dog Lally does a funny little dance after she goes to the bathroom. She scrapes her back feet against the grass: right, right, left, left. I call it “wipey feet” (as opposed to Happy Feet, I guess). The topic came up in one of the dog lover sites I frequent, and nobody had a definitive answer. Why do some dogs wipe their feet after they piddle or poop? No expert in wipe-ology came forward to solve the mystery. All we could do was make some educated guesses. Some folks thought it might be similar to a cat burying messes … Continue reading →

The Pets Blog Week in Review for Sept 17–23

We bade adieu to summer and Bienvenue! to Fall last week, but that wasn’t all. What else did Aimee and I write about? If you happened to miss a day or two, here’s your handy dandy WIR to catch you up. Monday, September 17 There’s a difference between a good pet owner and a bad one. For example, responsible owners can prevent attacks. There’s also a difference between being a good animal loving citizen and a bad one. Regrettably and shamefully I confess I was the latter and did nothing to save a dead dog walking. Tuesday, September 18 I … Continue reading →
