We also have more time on our hands since there is no commuting to work and school. Life is different these days. I'd thought I'd share this list of items that I think might make staying at home Continue reading...

Thanks to FurryFido, who sent me a complimentary pet sling carrier to me for review. All opinions expressed in this post are my own. This post contains Amazon affiliate links.

A New Betta Fish
For the past two years, I’ve been unhappily cleaning the goldfish bowl for my daughters’ two goldfish, Rocky and Swimmy. I hate the job, but since the fish are the only pets my kids have (both my husband and I have allergies) I grudgingly do it.
