This is a cave in Nova Scotia. We passed it while traveling to look at a some properties about an hour or two from my mom’s house called Folly Mountain Cave. The children thought it was cool!
Kohne Kollars For Dogs
Dogs are cute enough without added accessory, but Kohne Kollars make them look even more adorable.
Kohne Kollars are cute, snap on collars for dogs that can be worn all year round. They come in a variety of prints and sizes that will fit every dog from Great Danes to Chihuahuas. If their range of sizes won’t fit your pooch, they’ll make something custom for you!
Their products are one hundred percent made in the USA and a portion of every sale goes to help animals in shelters.
We got a cute collar for Padfoot to review and it was easy to put on him. You simply snap the fabric around your pooch’s neck and make sure it’s secure. The collars are comfortable for dogs to wear and aren’t too tight around their neck.
Padfoot loves his new collar and we love how adorable he looks in it. Kohne Kollars are a great way to show support for shelter animals and a great way to make your pooch look super cute this winter!

Week #44 Saturday Top Five Laughs
Happy Valentine’s Day!
Ready to roll with The Mommyhood Chronicles for Saturday Top Five Laughs – week #44 (for us)? Because we are!
5. Child with the quizzes last week added up several quizzes and announces, “If you put them all together, I got 120%!”
4. Jr. wanted to be a tiger so he drew stripes on himself with a pen! Lovely, eh? Yeah, he did whole body coverage, we only took a photo of his arm!
3. On our older daughter’s birthday, our youngest ran into her room and jumped on her saying, “Happy Birthday!” Then he proceeded to ask her to make him a card from him…and she did! lol!
2. When my husband and I did the Pennzoil shop, we walked to get a cart. Hubby got the cart and started back to where I was, in the meantime I had started to walk with another man with a cart, thinking it was him! I looked over and realized it was not my husband and went, “Oh!” He simply said, “Excuse me” to pass by me. I turned and my husband was back a ways. I asked him, “Did you see that?” He said yes, puts his arms out and asks me, “What are you doing?” Then proceeded to teased me. We laughed but I was so embarrassed! I don’t think the strange man realized what I did.
1. When we left the house the cats were on the work horses facing our car in the driveway. When we came back they were facing the exact opposite! Funny cats had not moved other than to turn!

Wilhelmina’s Butterflies ~ Book Review
Wilhelmina is 8 years old and loves classical music. She has a difficult time explaining why to her family, friends, teachers, and classmates. When she has the opportunity to attend her first concert at Symphony Hall, something might stand in her way. Will she be able to share her love of classical music with others, or will the mysterious “butterflies” ruin the day? Become immersed in Wilhelmina’s thoughts and feelings as she experiences the musical ambiance at the great Symphony Hall.
OUR REVIEW :
As a music loving family this book was welcomed in our house! It was loved by adults and children alike! We loved that the book was able to show my children how excited other people get when listening to music just as they do! My children expressed that they felt just as Wilhelmina felt in the book. I loved that in the back of the book there is a glossary of musical terms… my children and I reviewed these before and after reading the book…it was very instrumental in facilitating a discussion about the book and music! In the rear of the book after the story there is also list of some classical music that Wilhelmina listened to at Symphony Hall. This was so great to see … it gave names to the music … it also let me look up the music and play it for my children. My children loved listening to the music and again it facilitated a great discussion on classical music and even prompted my children to do a bit of research on the compsers… that was so wonderful for this musical mama to see!
Overall this was an EXCELLENT book…WE LOVED IT!
The book can be found on Amazon.com

Keep Your Car Running with Pennzoil
Our 2006 Chevy Malibu was long overdue for an oil change so we took it to Walmart’s Auto Center. We had some other shopping to do so it was so easy and convenient to drop the car off, then go about our other shopping. The Auto Center only uses Pennzoil. We asked for Conventional Motor Oil, which is a traditional oil base, with Active Cleaning Agents to continuously prevent dirt and contaminants from creating performance-robbing deposits. We usually get the oil changed when the car tells us it needs to be done. Nice little feature that saves us from having to remember when our last oil change was!
Pennzoil is known to help clean out sludge lesser oils leave behind. It is designed for protection and may enable you to drive an extra 550 miles per year vs. a dirty engine (a dirty engine is NOT good!). Regular oil changes keep your car running smoothly and prevents bad things from happening…like a clogged, dirty engine. Our car is much happier after we get the oil changed!
A funny thing happened to me while we were shopping. When my husband went to get a cart I waited in the front entry way (for some reason hubby did not grab a cart at the Auto Center and we walked all the way around to the front entrance!?). Well, I started walking along side him only to discover the man I was walking with was NOT my husband! Can you say embarrassing? When I looked over at the man I said a quiet, “Oh!” I don’t think he realized what I did because he simply said, “Excuse me” and went on his merry way. Meanwhile, I look back at my husband and asked, “Did you see that?” He said he did and then spreads his arms and goes, “What are you doing walking with another man?” And proceeded to tease me. Probably will not live this one down!
After that embarrassing moment, we were able to get a few groceries and items for our upcoming trip. It was nice to have another the oil change and shopping checked off our to-do list.
If you change your own oil, here is a Pennzoil coupon to use on your next purchase, which is available for a limited time.
How often do you get your car’s oil changed?

InkJoy Pens Review
Papermate has come out with a great new line of pens that have been a hit in our family! INKJOY! We were pleased to be able to review Inkjoy 300 RT through Smiley 360.
Inkjoy 300 RT features an extended rubberized grip for optimal comfort in writing. The translucent color-tinted body is modern and stylish, while the metal clip provides long lasting durability.
We REALLY like these pens! They are colorful and fun to use! We loved that the ink is the color of the pen! Sometimes the outer shel only houses a blue or black ink…but NOT inkjoy! They are “true” to their colors! I love having a color option when using a pen! It is so fun to write in pink, green, orange,etc!
The overall feel of the pen is wonderful. The rubberized grip is fantastic and the pen glides across the page effortlessly when writing! I would suggest this writing implement as a staple for work and home!
Check out the papermate website for more injoy love!

BiteSizers
Meal time is always crazy at my house. With a growing 5 year old boy and an almost 2 year old girl (going on 15), preparing meals is always hectic. I try my best to have them eat what we eat, but sometimes it’s hard. Trying to cut food up into small enough pieces for their liking while they are yelling “I’m hungry, “Is it ready yet”, etc. can make any mom struggle to have a smooth meal time. Anything that makes this part easier, I’m signing up for!
Thank goodness for BiteSizers! Upon first opening they look like everyday scissors. I thought to myself, they’ll probably work the same as kitchen scissors. Guess what? They work a whole lot better! Way better than using a fork a knife. Who would have thought?! Simply take whatever you are eating, use BiteSizers to cut pieces to your liking, and that’s it! I was honestly amazed at how easily it cut through this quesadilla.
I then went on to cut up some cantaloupe. Usually I use a fork and knife to cut fruit up. Using BiteSizers was a whole lot easier. I went from cutting a quesadilla to cantaloupe, and then I cut up a PBJ just for fun. They work on any food that I would ever feed my kids. I love that it has a Snap-On cap to keep the blades good and for easy travel. I can throw them in my diaper bag easily. There’s even a handy built-in sizer guide so you can cut food to the size recommended by experts as best for children.
Since I started using BiteSizers both of my kids have tried more foods than ever. It’s just so easy to cut a little bite off of whatever I’m eating and share with my kids. BiteSizers are available exclusively at
www.mixedpears.com and www.amazon.com
I would highly recommend them to anyone with young children.
