There’s nothing more heart wrenching than seeing someone you love in pain. That’s how I feel when I see Pickle hobbling around from her dog arthritis, walking so slow and taking breaks just on the way to go outside. Pickle has had both ACLs in her back legs repaired. She was also a very active puppy, and she has moderate dog arthritis in her right shoulder and severe dog arthritis in her left shoulder. It’s been like this for a couple of years and I believe her Cushing’s disease…

14 Valentine’s Day Dates for Under $100
Valentine’s Day is right around the corner! One thing I hate about Valentine’s Day is that it is too close to the holiday season. With all the money spent at Christmastime, it doesn’t leave much money for a lavish Valentine’s Day excursion. These Valentine’s Day dates will help you have fun and save money. My husband and I are always trying to save money so we very rarely go on any expensive dates.

Everyone loves a clean house, there’s no doubt about that. But when you’re busy, the thought of cleaning might leave you groaning like it does me. It seems like it’s an endless job, but somebody’s got to do it, right? I feel like I’m getting closer to mastering a clean house. My friend Meghan’s house is always spotless. When I asked her how she does it (she’s a busy, working mom, too) she told me to do a little bit each day. I started doing that and boy, does…
