Slipping to Paris every night with DENY Designs #holidaygiftguide

With winter quickly coming along, it’s time to pull out the heavy blankets. I’m long overdue for new sheets and duvet covers. Christmas may just have come early for me since DENY Designs delivered me a beautiful piece of artwork and duvet cover, all in one. DENY Designs is a modern home furnishings company that allows you to either personalize your item or use artwork from the DENY Art Gallery. Each purchase has a part of the proceeds going back to the artists, therefore supporting artists worldwide! How I would’ve loved to put the fur babies picture on something! Even though I didn’t, there was such a wide array of designs that it made it hard to choose. I literally spent hours picking and choosing between designs.

Reader's Challenge in #K9Kamp Week 4

How is it possible that 4 weeks has gone by already!? Wow! Time has flown by and well, if you read any of my Nutrisystem posts, I've attributed K9 Kamp for helping me not gain excess weight on the weeks I've been bad. LOL, I'll be honest though. K9 Kamp made us push ourselves, do a little more than we'd normally do and we appreciated that. Now to try and keep some of it up, right? Week 4's challenge was Kamper's Choice...meaning we could do whatever we wanted to. I told the babies to pick their favorite but this is how it went...

One Doggone Minute to Win It in #K9Kamp Wk 3

Week 3's challenge was Just One Doggone Minute to Win It. I'm amazed we've already been though 3 weeks already. How fast is time going by? And what exactly does this past week's challenge mean? First of all, I love the name just because Minute to Win It is such a fun show. I totally want to play on it! However, how does this involve my two babies? The goal of this week was to try and fit in some fitness when you only have a minute or two and to try and get 10 minutes total a day in. Sounds easy, right? You probably wouldn't even realize you were spending several minutes playing with your pets and before you know it, 5 minutes would've gone by. Well, I'll have to let the babies tell you about their week.

Playing with your balls in #K9Kamp Wk 2

Week 2's challenge was Play with your balls. Teehee, I was so tempted to post a picture of Baby Pom's balls up. What exactly were you thinking? We are playing with balls...tennis balls to be exact but isn't the name hilarious? To be honest, we kept up the running and walking this week and added the ball activities on the side. I'll let the babies take it from here.
