Cyggy

Today we’ve got a guest blogger – my eight year old, Kate.

About three months ago, we started looking for a dog. We looked many places and then we thought we had one, but then we started to think that the puppy that we liked was not right for our family [Editor’s note: this is code for “My mom said ‘no way in hell.'”]. So we kept looking and we found this place that we really thought would be a good place to look. We started looking at different dogs and we met ones named McDreamy, Birdie, Reno and Butterball. And then we came back about a week later and we met two other puppies because my mom found them on her phone while we were waiting in the lobby. First we met a dog named Yonkers and then we met another one named Auggie, but Auggie was not as great as Yonkers. So we took Yonkers on a week trial and we started to call him Cyggy. My dad thought of the name. When I was about four, I started to think it was cute and whenever we went to a store I asked my mom if I could get a toy for Cyggy, even though we didn’t have a dog yet. So after about two weeks, Cyggy became ours. We love him very much and even my mom loves him. Even though she doesn’t want to show it, she does. [Editor’s note: No she doesn’t.]

And that is the story of Cyggy.

Happy Independence Day!

We are taking a break from Pin for the Wednesdays this week in honor of July 4th. And our general laziness.  However I will still put a linky here in case YOU weren’t lazy and want to link up.  Man, I’m thoughtful!  And to prove it, here’s another gift for you:  a precious video of my older two children, giving you a lesson on what July 4th is all about.

My brilliant children, ladies and gentlemen!

As you can imagine, I’m very proud!
Happy Independence Day!

And Happy Pin for the Wednesday if you’re not lazy on holidays! 🙂

Hershey’s Simple Pleasures

Tomorrow is Independence Day, and Hershey’s wants YOU to declare independence from something… Facebook fans have declared their independence from dieting, gas guzzling cars, feeling guilty – whatever has been keeping them down.

Hershey’s Simple Pleasures are designed to give you the independence to enjoy a treat any time – and to feel great about doing it.

Get this –

Hershey’s Simple Pleasures chocolates have 30 percent less fat than the average leading milk chocolates.

And they are so good. My personal favorite was the milk chocolate with vanilla creme, but I liked them all. So did my husband and kids – three packages did not last very long around our house!

You can sign a declaration of independence on Hershey’s Facebook page and have a chance at weekly prizes, including a $100 gift card.

Let’s see… Things I’d like to declare independence from… well, my alarm clock, but that’s not likely to happen!
