Do You Walk Your Dog At Night? Illumidog!

Hi Neighbors!

Do you have a dog, that you like to walk at dusk or after dark?  You might want to check out the IllumiDog website.  They have many products to help your dog be seen at night.  Here is how they got started:

"We have Buddy to thank for illumidog. He was a jet-black spunky pit-mix that we fostered from Lane County Animal Shelter (LCAS). We both had full time jobs and couldn’t find the time to walk Buddy during the day, so most days we would take Buddy out for a stroll after dark. Neither of us felt too safe ourselves, or for the dark black pooch in our care during those walks.
We googled and searched local stores for reflective collars to make our trips a little safer, but each collar we found left a lot to be desired, as none of them were very bright. That is when we discovered SOLAS reflective tape, which looked like glowing liquid silver when we tested it with our headlights.
Since we made our first collar, Buddy found his forever home, we found two perfect pooches for us (Cheddar and Kaiya) who have one of our collars and a Photon X-Light around their necks at all times."
Here is what the reflective vest looks like up close.

Can you see the orange?
At the top of the post you see Lady Grace modeling her Illumidog Reflective Dog Vest.  She actually wore it around for awhile in the yard and inside to get used to it.  As you can see by the other pictures the vest really helps people see your dog at night.  The vest is an eye-catching orange, trimmed with black, and all over the vest is a pattern of reflective dashes.  It attaches with 2 quick release buckles, one around the neck and one around the body of the dog.  It has been designed for comfort and durability.  The vest is available in various sizes so I are sure you can find one that will fit your dog.
A little blurry.  I am learning!

I also used one of their pictures because I am still learning night shots on my camera.
IllumiDog also has some really nice reflective collars.  I am hoping they come out in a size soon to fit our dogs!  Especially since one of our dogs is an escape artist!

So if you like to walk your dog in the evening be sure and visit IllumiDog.  You will be able to relax knowing your dog is visible!

Disclosure:I received no monetary compensation for this post.  I did receive an IllumiDog reflective vest for review purposes.  All thoughts and opinions are mine.

Baby First TV 'I Can Sign" First Words

Hey Neighbors! Here is a really neat gift idea for someone with a young child.  Here we have I Can Sign (First Words) from Baby First  TV.  Now, I am just going to share right here that we have friends who have taught two of their children to sign at a very young age.  And it works!  Their children could sign before they could talk. The Dvd will teach your child many useful words that will be used in day to day life.  Words like: eat, water, milk, cookie, ear, feet hands, kiss, sleep, book, mother, father, and many other words.  Each word is taught in a short video clip where they will see pictures of the word/item and people signing.  There is also a little character at the bottom corner of the video signing along.  The Dvd can be done on English or Spanish.  Also included on the Dvd are printable coloring pages that you can print off by inserting the Dvd into your computer.  Inside the cover of the Dvd case is a little booklet that covers some of the words you and your child

What To Do About Those Fuzzy Uninvited Guests In The Home

When we talk about pests in the home, the most common that we tend to deal with are the creepy-crawlies that find their way in. Ants, termites, and spiders, for instance. Occasionally though, you have a real chance of getting a much bigger, fuzzier unwanted guest in the home. What do you do about the fact your home is at risk of becoming a wildlife sanctuary for some truly unhealthy and even dangerous beasts? Picture by Alexas_Fotos Know the signs It doesn’t matter if you’re in a suburban home, a country cottage, or a fourth-floor apartment. Some animals can find their way just about anywhere. It’s worth knowing the signs of pest infestation so you can confirm it and act on it immediately. Spotting droppings, keeping an ear out for scratching, and looking for signs of nesting like shredded paper, scrunched leaves, and grass clippings around the home without explanation can help you start fighting back.

 Hey neighbors, its with a heavy heart I let you all know that my mom (Lori) unexpectedly passed away the end of June. Our family has been taking the time between now and then to be together and remember what a light mom was. I came on towards the end of last year and was planning on fully moving my interviews and review to this website. I intend to to so partially to keep mommas beautiful website going. Thank you all so much for your love and support over the years. ~Mercy
