14 June 2018 - Here Kitty, Kitty!

Transporting Pets

 "Even the most stay-at-home pets must travel occasionally, though the trip may be no more than an annual visit to the vet."

Traveling with your pet!
Are you prepared?

I've traveled across the country with my two dogs.
When we packed up and moved from Texas to Washington state, we had to bring out dogs with us.
The first thing I had to do is plan out our hotels around pet friendly places.

For this trip we also had to pack blankets, food, and water for them.
We bought new leashes and they had their collars the entire time.

We are lucky that our pets travel well.
They don't run off and they are really great at going potty outside.
They also don't get car sick!

I never really thought about pets getting car sick but it happens!
Unfortunately, the only way to tell if your pet is car sick is to get them in the car and drive.

If you take your pet for a ride but you let them ride in the truck bed, you might need to research you local laws. If your pet isn't secured in the back, they risk falling off the moving truck.
This of course can cause injury or death the animal, but it also cause an accident.

There are many ways for you to secure your pet for their safety inside and out of the vehicle.

Small pets should have an adequate carrier.
Don't shove them in a box ok!
Sturdy and ventilated pet carrier please.

If you have to fly with your pet.....

I have such anxiety about this.

There has been so much about pets not being cared for and suffering injury or death because of negligence. Research your airline and their policies for traveling with pets.

Is your pet trained?
Our dogs traveled great because they understand commands and are pretty chill most of the time.
If you pet isn't trained....good luck.

You might end up like our picture in this post.

Just look at that smug face.

"Humans. This is unacceptable. I requested a 5 star hotel not this roach motel."

8 June 2018 - I Need a Vacation

"Wish You Were Here" "A new kind of vacation has become popular in recent years. Two families exchange homes for the vacation period - and both benefit." This is the premise of one of my favorite movies The Holiday In this 2006 movie, our main characters go onto a website called HomeExchange.com. They decide they want away from their tormented lives on Christmas so they vacation in each others homes for the Christmas Holiday. It's an adorable movie that ends all cuddly and romantically. Our Almanac suggests that if you wish to try this out you should join the Vacation Exchange Club! In the 1970's, this was a directory of people who were all part of this home exchange club. It featured homes around the world so you could swap homes with people from different backgrounds. This is also a chance for you to visit far off places and check off some countries from your bucket list. Home Exchange is still operating today. You ...

26 March 2018 - Guess Who's Back, Christ is Back, Tell a Friend

Stuffed Lamb Cushion for Easter "Lamb is a traditional food for Eater. The lamb is a symbol of Jesus. In John 1:29 Jesus is referred to as "The Lamb of God", who takes away the sin of the world." Lamb is also a traditional Passover meal. In the book of Exodus, God was determined to save His people from their captivity in Egypt. The last plague He sent to Egypt was the death of the firstborn. God commanded that His people take an unblemished lamb, kill it, and but the blood of the lamb on their door post.  This would be a sign for the Angel of Death to "passover" the house and not strike their firstborn. It would be after their freedom from slavery that God would institute traditional sacrifice for sins that would involve a lamb. Jesus' last supper was the Passover meal. He and His disciples ate lamb before He instituted the new covenant, teaching His disciples to remember Him in communion.  Jesus would go on to be betraye...

1 January 2018 - Happy New Year!!

A couple years ago I started collecting interesting antique books. I love seeing a peek into the time period the book was written. Until the end of 2017 I was a stay at home mom. We moved across the country and a new chapter began for our family. This morning for the beginning of the new year I pick up my "Illustrated Almanac for Homemakers" book.  This book was written in 1974.  Just check out those bellbottoms.  Originally sold for $9.95. I bought at Half Price Books for $7.00 I thought this book would be fun to flip through. Just see what homemakers were doing in the 1970's verses what I was doing or not doing. So for 2018 I thought it would be fun to see what I can accomplish this 365 days from this almanac even though I am no longer a full time homemaker.  Lets begin in January!  Each month has a super cute illustration featuring our homemaker heroine!  It's the first day of the first year so let's peek at today's tas...
