Friday I'm In Love

As awesome as Christmas was, I'm ready to get back to normal and let things calm down a bit for the winter. I can't believe this is the last Friday of the year! I may or may not make a resolution, but I'll ponder that over my beverage tomorrow evening. In the meantime, Friday fun. 

I made cranberry white chocolate muffins for a little holiday brunch and again on Christmas morning at our house. They were a big hit and everyone keeps asking me for the recipe. You're welcome.

If you're in the market for a pair of leggings that feel exactly like pjs but look exactly like pants, here you go. I got these for Christmas and I actually could sleep in them. They are the perfect addition to my momiform.

It's unlikely you will ever see Fallon without a bow if she isn't wearing a hat. Partially because I think she's so flippin' cute with a bow on fuzzy head and partially because people call her a boy without one. And it drives me nuts! Our newest favorite shop has some adorable options for any baby girl. 

We are in the thick of sleep training and it's pretty clear Fallon likes to hold something to soothe herself. Have no fear, there's a Slumkerkins with her name on it (literally) on its way to us. 

My friend sent me this article and it was just what I needed to read this week. I'll be 30 next year and if I spend the next decade of my life tired, untoned and chasing after kids, then won't i be lucky?!

One of my very favorite clothing companies for babes, June & January, is having an end of year sale with 40% off! Their hoodie jumpers are the best and I wish I could buy them in every single color for Fallon. 

Happy last Friday of 2016!!

Friday I'm In Love

All around me the Christmas season has begun but I just can't get into it until after Thanksgiving. I mean, I'm super excited for Fallon's first Christmas but we are still in fall mode for another week around here. There will be no tree, no Christmas music, no cookies and no decorating until next weekend. I could say there will be no shopping but who am I kidding? It's just not Christmas shopping yet. Don't worry, as soon as black Friday hits there will definitely not be a shortage of holiday cheer in this house. In the meantime, one last favorites roundup until it's all Christmas Vacation, NSYNC & Mariah Carey on repeat, twinkle lights and toy stores. 

I'm pretty sure half of my closet is made up of Target finds. I also go for something else and come out with something new in my wardrobe. I just snagged this cardigan and it is the softest, coziest thing ever!

I love my booties this time of year but running around with Fallon all the time requires comfy shoes. It's pretty awesome that there are tons of cute and stylish sneaks out right now. I just got these and they literally feel like slippers, the perfect compliment to any momiform. 

If Fallon falls asleep while we are out and about the last thing I need is strangers getting too close. I love MilkSnob car seat covers and this new one for fall/winter is the cutest.

My friend sent me this article about what SAHMs really do all day. Even if you're working mama, this is a good one. I was literally laughing out loud.

This website has the coolest mom tees. I could make a case for this one, this one, or this one. Maybe all 3!

My mom hosts Thanksgiving dinner and didn't ask me to bring anything but I might show up with a plate of these anyway. 

There are countless sweet and cuddly stuffed dolls for kids out there but Cuddle + Kind dolls are extra special. Not only are they handmade, each doll purchase provides 10 meals to kids who only dream of Thanksgiving dinner. I melted seeing Fallon grab her doll's little hand. 

Friday I'm in Love

Fri-YAY!!! Where have you been? While it's definitely been a productive week around here, it's also been stressful. I had to fast for a blood test today which meant no coffee this morning. The horror. This mama is ready for some down time + a cold one. On the positive side, it's finally feeling like fall and that means lots of favorites. So many favorites. I won't bombard you with them all but it just wouldn't be right if I didn't share a few. 

I love navy nails for fall and I finally found the perfect shade. 

A neutral pair of booties is a staple in my fall wardrobe but I've been hesitant to go the open toe route. This pair changed my mind. 

I tend to be a bit of a candle hoarder all year long but the fall scents are by far and away my favorite.This one is at the top of the list, makes your house smell like pancakes.

I've been drooling over all the pumpkin and apple recipes on Pinterest but I absolutely must try these pumpkin gooey butter cakes. 

If you came to my house you might say I've gone a bit pumpkin crazy with my fall decor. But I added an adorable print to break up the madness. 

This isn't fall related but my sister showed me this hilarious video about breastfeeding in public and I'm a sucker for sarcastic humor. 

Have the happiest weekend friends!

Friday I'm in Love

Happy first Friday of fall y'all! Decorations are up, pantry is stocked with pumpkin and apple flavored things, fall candles are burning and PSLs are on the breakfast menu. The only problem is Mother Nature hasn't received the message yet here in NKY and we are still baking in 90 degree weather. C'mon fall, my blanket scarves and boots are calling my name! I realize it's been a LONG time since I did a Friday favorites post so while the weather is a total bummer, let's focus on the positives.

Can we talk about how awesome these shoes are?! First of all, I scored them for 20% off with free shipping. Sperry quality and style at a discount, SCORE. They fit true to size and are really comfy plus they go with everything. I'm not kidding, I've worn them every day for the past week. It's the perfect way to add a little spice to the jeans + tshirt uniform I'm sporting these days. 

Speaking of jeans, I might just have a new favorite pair. So I don't know about you but back in high school, which was 10+ years ago for me, Abercrombie & Fitch was it. All the cool kids wore their graphic tees and jeans and I was pretty sure I was one of them. I was also pretty sure I knew everything. Sorry mom! But I grew up and left A & F behind along with my know it all attitude so I was pretty excited to find out that the brand actually grew up too! You will still find that cool, casual west coast vibe all of us who rocked the clothes in high school know and love. But A & F has something for us now young professionals, parents and stylish 20-30 somethings. I am absolutely in love with these distressed skinny jeans for several reason. The rips are in all the right places, they have definite stretch without being too tight or loosening up too much with wear. I was warned to size down because this particular pair runs large and they fit like a glove. Now that's a confidence booster for a mama with an 11 week old!

While I was out on a Target run last weekend I spied this rug that's been popping up all over my Instagram feed. In my cart it went and I am not sorry about jumping on this bandwagon. I can't wait to dress up my porch (okay it's really just a stoop) for fall around it. If you follow me on Instagram @hkpfeff523 you are sure to see it again. And again. You've been warned.

I've only been doing this mom thing with a human kid for a short while, but man it can be overwhelming. Parenting articles, social media and just our peers in general all say we should always do this, never do that and OMG you do what with your child?! Not to mention we are usually our own worst critics and constantly making ourselves feel guilty. So I absolutely loved this article my mom sent me and feel compelled to pass it along. Sometimes not giving a crap is just what the doctor ordered. 

I can pretty much always find something I like for myself at Old Navy but now I'm having all the heart eyes for their baby girl clothes. One of my favorite pieces of clothing in my closet is an army green utility jacket I got a few years ago. You better believe I snatched this one up for Fallon as soon as I saw it because OMG now we can match. I know, I know I will pay for this one day. 

Happy Friday loves!

Friday I'm in Love

I'm sure if you're on any form of social media you've seen a post that says, "Friday is coming tomorrow and she's bringing wine," on a Thursday evening. Oh how I wish I could have a glass of wine. Well, Friday is here and since I can't drink wine I thought I'd share some recent favorites instead. This very well may be my last post that doesn't include an overload of baby things!

The off the shoulder trend has stolen my heart. This dress comes in a few colors, is so comfortable and flattering (even at 9 months pregnant!) and it's only $25! I ordered yellow but all the choices are pretty for summer.

My latest shoe obsession continues. The sale on these is still going on and I cannot wait to get mine. Even though I've had some swelling in my feet, the gladiator style kind of masks it and surprisingly the other pair I have remains comfortable. Hopefully I'll be rocking these new ones with a cute baby and skinny feet.

I decided that I don't care if I'm 29 and a mom, I'm still going to wear cut-off shorts. I've been waiting to have the baby to order these but I might just go ahead and get my regular size and hope I can get back in them before the end of summer, dream big. What can I say, I have no problem being barefoot in cut-offs with a baby in my arms. #kentuckygirl

Probably statement necklaces aren't very practical with a newborn and I'll most likely be in t-shirts covered in who knows what the majority of the time. But I love this one so much and it would even dress up a t-shirt for that first time I go out without the kiddo.

My best friend for over ten years is getting married tomorrow. I'm beyond honored and excited to be her matron of honor but these glow in the dark legs of mine need a little color. Okay so probably my giant 38 week pregnant belly distracts from everything else but since I'm wearing a shorter dress it would make me feel better to have a bit of a tan on my legs. I've tried a lot of self-tanners and this one is pretty awesome. I even use it on my face and no streaks!

Happy first weekend of summer!!!

5 Items For Your Baby Registry

I'm extremely fortunate in that I'll have had 2 baby showers for Baby P. On Sunday my aunts, cousins and sister hosted an afternoon for half of our family and friends and I am so grateful and appreciative. All the heart eyes over the gender neutral décor including the cutest baby sock bouquet.

 

 

My second shower is tomorrow with the rest of our friends and family at my mother-in-law's and I can't wait. I have no doubt everything will be just as beautiful and sweet. Baby P and I are just the luckiest to have such wonderful people who are so exited for us. Yes, I'm totally shouting out to all my lovely hostesses. Thank you so, so much.

 

I talked about creating my registry with BabyList here but today I'm going a bit more in depth on some of the things I put on my wish list. As a first time mom to a human babe my best resources have been other new mamas. Of course all little ones are different, people lead varying lifestyles and have their own tastes and preferences, but it still helps immensely to get advice from those currently living the experience.

 

 

 

The 4moms mamaRoo is the very first item I put on my registry. It was mentioned by nearly all the moms I asked to name their top baby products and even one dad. While certainly it's something we could all live without, I keep hearing it's well worth it's price point for the sanity it can bring. An easily portable seat that has 5 different motion settings + plays music? If they made one for adults I'd want it for mama too.

 

Boppy is a brand I was familiar with long before becoming pregnant because I heard so much about it. Created originally to serve as a nursing support pillow, the Boppy also has many other uses. I was warned by several people that it can a bit difficult to use when feeding a newborn based on the size of the baby, experience of the mother, ect. BUT it's still a definite to add to the registry. Some moms had no trouble with it right away and others loved it a little later postpartum. I know people who use it simply to "hold the baby" while they fold laundry, for tummy time or even for sleepy toddlers to nap on.

 

I registered for this standard video monitor but I also registered for the Owlet baby monitor. It actually didn't come as a recommendation from anyone I know personally but rather from the mama blogging community. After reading post after post after post about how awesome this system is and the peace of mind it brings, I decided it was worth asking for. Not only does it monitor baby's heart rate and oxygen levels, but it also records all of his/her stats to an app on your phone. So if I turn out to be an anxiety ridden, obsessive FTM, I can check whenever I want, even if Baby P is staying with someone else.

 

Aden + Anais muslin swaddles aren't all the rage for nothing. It's been quite a long time since I learned to swaddle, way back when I was baby-sitting. But when I watched a YouTube video to remind myself, it came back to me pretty easily. Teaching Chris will be another story. If there's anything new I've learned though, is that this particular brand of swaddle is just the best of the best. Mamas have told me specifically to register for/purchase this brand, so I listened. It doesn't hurt that they come in tons of cute patterns and colors AND there are many gender neutral options.

 

Many parenting choices are hot button issues, especially about babies. Co-sleeping is one the most hotly debated on the list. I'll just say our current plan is to have Baby P sleep in our room, next to my side of the bed for the first several months. I had been told by enough people to get a Fisher-Price Rock 'n Play Sleeper that I planned to have it on my registry anyway to use as a portable bassinet. But when I heard it could double as a bedside crib for those first few months, I was sure it was something I'd need.

 

I plan to do future posts on our own favorite items once Baby P arrives, but until then we are just guessing about what we will need. I've really enjoyed learning about what other mamas find the most useful and love the best for their babes plus I've received some wonderful advice. If you're a FTM trying to create a registry, hopefully these few items can help to get you started.

 

Happy Friday y'all!

Friday I'm in Love

Memorial Day weekend is always sort of the unofficial start of summer and it's coming up in just a week. Pool parties, grill outs, boating and in my case, a baby shower are on the calendar in NKY. You know I love to be festive so I couldn't resist a little roundup for a Friday post of some cute red, white and blue gear. And the best part is 4th of July is right around the corner so you use it all again!

Oh how I love stripes! This adorable tote also comes in gray + it's on sale! I might have to snag one.

 

If I had a pool I would absolutely have this to float my big ol' belly around on. Nothing says summer like a giant bomb pop.

 

I found these last week and couldn't pass them up. They are so cute and comfy and perfect for just about any occasion.

 

Another pattern I always gravitate to is gingham. How adorable is this retro tankini?!

 

I'm also totally loving all things tie-dye, especially in indigo, but this little red number is super fun.

 

I can't exactly pull off rompers right now, but as soon as I can I'll be picking up some new ones like this sweet eyelet style.

 

And really you just need a pair of aviators to complete the look. These are only $12 but don't look cheap so if you're like me and tend to lose them, no big deal.

 Happy Weekend!

Friday I'm in Love

It is such a beautiful, sunny spring day that I wish I could just go lay outside on a blanket and daydream. Or sleep. But I figured while I count down to the weekend I'd share some fun Friday finds with you.

 

 

It's officially sandal season and I'm wearing these for the first time today. I have loved the look of lace up flats popping up everywhere but they seemed like they would be so uncomfortable. Nope. Unless I develop kankles I'll be rocking these all through summer.

 

Our master bedroom is getting some finishing touches slowly but surely and these curtains I snagged on sale just came in. I think they will be the perfect addition of some pattern and texture.

 

I may have one too many graphic tees/sweatshirts in my closet but then again, is that even possible? When I saw this one on sale last week I had to order it for my collection. I imagine it will be covered with fur, spit up and peanut butter by this summer, but that's kind of the point.

 

I'm hosting a bachelorette party for my BFF next month and I think I probably need one of these to display some of the treats I plan to serve. Her wedding has a modern rustic vibe that I want to bring to the party, plus it's totally my style anyway.

 

I really like Alex & Ani bracelets and wear mine all the time. This one is so fun and adds a little something extra to a stack.

 

So I've been eyeing this outdoor lantern for weeks. Our tax refund just hit our bank account today so we are going to order deck furniture and I think that means it's also time to pull the trigger on one (or two!) of these guys.

 

I've spent a lot of my first and second trimesters reading about pregnancy, birth and babies but there is only so much you can learn from words. Lately I've been loving reading blog posts about motherhood and how it's so unique yet so universal at the same time. I especially love this one because it just goes to show, you have to gain a lot of your knowledge through your own personal experience.

 

Happy Friday peeps!

Friday I'm in Love

You know when you have one of those days when it's just one thing after another going wrong or just annoying the crap out of you? Yesterday was one of those days. And of course I was being all 2nd trimester melodramatic about it. See, usually Thursday is a good day for 3 reasons.

 

1. I'm another week pregnant

2. Grey's Anatomy

3. It's Friday Eve

 

But yesterday was not good. Yesterday was stupid. That quickly became my word of the day. By the time I got home from work I was a total hot mess. Let's just say I had avocado in my hair, a bursting bladder and sweat beads rolling down my neck not to mention a brain so fried so I tried to use my phone to open our garage door. So natrually I went online and bought shoes. Sometimes retail therapy IS the answer. But today is a new day AND it's Friday! Since it's so far a million times better than Thursday, let's kick off the weekend with some favorites.

 

 

Espadrilles are apparently all the rage this spring and I'm hopping right on the wagon. I happily used a 20% code I had last night to stop me from having a complete meltdown to order these beauties. I'm a sucker for stripes and I think it's fun that they can be both a neutral or a statement piece for probably a gazillion outfits.

 

If you've been following along here or on Instagram @hkpfeff523 you've seen my weekly pregnancy updates, aka bumpdates, or so I'm told. I've yet to really use any props because honestly, trying to get a good picture each week is hard enough. But I found these adorable wooden blocks that I just could not pass up. I can use them to count down the rest of my pregnancy and/or use them for cute pictures when baby P is born plus they can later be used as toys or room décor.

 

Clearly I'm a huge fan of Essie nail polish. It seems like I'm almost always posting about a new color I've tried or an old favorite. If you're looking for the perfect neutral I've got you covered. Not only is this color really light but opaque, great for done up nails that won't compete with a bright outfit, it has a fun name. Yes, I'm one of those people that bet on horses based solely on the name and ignore all the important factors. I won a good chunk of change once on Popsicle Toes so don't knock my strategy.

 

I have an army green military style jacket that I can confidently say is the most worn clothing item in my entire closet. And that's saying a lot because I kind of have a robust wardrobe. #confessionsofashopaholic. I've yet to pull the trigger on a vest version for the warmer seasons but I have my eye on this one. Maybe when it inevitably goes on sale for 40% off I will snag it.

 

Decorating our new living room is still an ongoing project but so far I'm loving the neutral color palette. This will make it so easy to swap out accent pieces and add color when I need a change or want to compliment the season (which I ALWAYS do). Our sectional couch just screams for throw pillows, even though Chris likes to repeatedly ask what the purpose of having so many is. Because they're pretty. Duh. These are a great price and look springy but not like something you'd find on Grandma's decades old couch. Right?

 

Dress season is upon us and I'm especially into them this year since they make covering my growing belly much less of a challenge. I saw this pretty maxi on a fashion blogger and had to check it out for myself immediately. I really love the simple, flowy style and variety of beautiful colors it comes in. I haven't ordered it simply because of the price point. But I'm thinking it may be justified since it's a pretty classic look that I could fit the bump under and of course wear after munchkin's arrival since it's not maternity.

Friday I'm in Love

 

Spring officially starts this weekend but I guess Mother Nature didn’t get the memo. After a couple weeks of having very Spring-like weather, we are now supposed to be dipping back down into the 40s. Wah. Of course that’s not stopping me from ogling all the pastels and florals popping up everywhere for the season. I’m a sucker for a pretty flowy dress and especially being pregnant this year, I’ll probably be wearing them often. I mean how gorgeous is this floral number?  

I also cannot get enough of knotted baby hats. I have been seeing them everywhere and finally had to break down and grab a few of these for this little one on the way. I’m pretty sure the mama is allowed to buy a few things before the baby shower just for fun.

I’m really excited to finally put together the gallery wall I’ve slowly been accumulating pieces for in our living room. Chris and I both love the look of reclaimed barn wood and it’s so neutral, the possibilities are endless. I found this window frame and couldn’t pass it up for the price.

 I’ve always been plagued with dry skin but this year my lips seem to be worse than usual so I was glad to find a sample of this balm I hadn’t yet tried in my makeup box. I slathered it on overnight and in the morning my lips were hydrated and butter soft so I’ve been using it every night!

Warmer weather will mean long evening and weekend walks so that calls for some new doggie treats. We like to reward the pups for good behavior with treats that are both delicious and healthy. While anything with liver in it doesn’t sound appetizing in the least to me, it’s typically a big hit with our dogs.

Happy Weekend!

Friday I'm in Love

I’m so excited Friday has come again but I can’t get over this ridiculous weather we are having. One day it’s sunny and I’d swear it feels like Spring and the next we’re barely above freezing with snow flurries. Say what? I think the best plan of action for getting dressed is layers. Then I just peel them off throughout the day if necessary. Of course an iced coffee goes with any outfit so I’m all set.

We just got our new couch delivered this week and I never thought I’d be so in love with a piece of furniture. I’ve always liked a nice neutral look and Chris and I both wanted a sectional but I didn’t think it would be so easy to find something with the right price. While shopping with my mom we lucked out on a President’s Day sale with free delivery and so far, we couldn’t be happier with the purchase. We even paid a bit extra for the non-toxic stain resistant coating since we live in a zoo and have a human baby exhibit set to open this summer. It came with 6 throw pillows but I’m opting to just keep 2 and choose my own patterns for the rest. I just ordered a few from this Etsy shop and can’t wait to add them!

And speaking of décor, I ordered this print for the big gallery wall above the couch I’m planning and this print for something pretty and seasonal  to frame on our sofa table. Since taking down the festive Valentine’s Day pieces things are looking a bit bare again so I also grabbed this cute egg crate and these springy berry baskets as the season gets ready to change over.

I think I’ve done a pretty good job of controlling my intense desire to buy all the baby things but I could not pass up this beautiful swaddle. I have a thing for both elephants and navy blue plus it’s gender neutral, will work with the navy accent color we have decided on in the nursery and is beyond adorable. I’m currently working my way through this book because it’s been recommended by so many people and since I was reading all about swaddling I figured I should get at least one to practice. See, my baby purchase is totally reasonable.

Happy Friday!

Friday I'm in Love

Valentine's Day is 2 days away and I've always been a fan of this winter holiday celebrating love. Of course we should make sure the people we love know it every day but I certainly don't see anything wrong with devoting one specific day to it. Plus, there's chocolate. Who cares if you don't have a significant other? My first Valentine was my dad. Yours could be a parent, a best friend, a kid or a furbaby. There are no rules when it comes to love.

In the spirit of this day devoted to love I made some easy treats to share at work and wore my favorite pink sweater. I had all the things on hand to make these Oreo treats but the ingredients are easy to come by and you could definitely improvise. I used traditional double stuffed Oreos and cinnamon bun Oreos, dipping them in either vanilla almond bark or chocolate candiquik. Add some festive sprinkles and lay them on wax paper or foil to dry and voila, you have a sweet festive treat.

And speaking of chocolate and treats, have you tried Starbucks limited edition Molten Chocolate latte or frappuccino? If not you better hurry because it's only sticking around through Sunday. The baby insisted on the frappuccino this afternoon and I guess I'm already a total pushover.

It may not be important to some people, but I am very picky about my loungewear. It has to be comfy and cute so that I can roll out of the house in it if I want to. I love the simple but adorable design of this ILY Couture sweatshirt, it's super soft and it's perfect for Valentine's Day!

I don't change my phone case very often, mostly because it's a pain and one more thing to think about. When I upgraded to the iPhone 6 last year I immediately ordered a phone cover but I drop my phone ALL THE TIME. The one I got was cute but not all that durable and I need durability. I stumbled across one from Scarlet & Gold Shop that I've had ever since and gotten a gazillion compliments on. But it's been over 6 months and I was ready for a switch up, conveniently just as they restocked the case I've had my eye on. It is SO pretty and these cases must be made of armor or something because they can take the beating I dish out with barely a scratch.

Since we are finally getting around to decorating our new house I have been looking for pieces for a big living room gallery wall. I found this adorable burlap letter P and couldn't pass it up for the price. I'm not sure how everything will come together yet but I will definitely find a place for this guy.

A few of you asked me what kinds of workouts I do from home during pregnancy. I love Fitness Blender workouts, pregnant or not, because there are a variety to choose from on YouTube for free and the girl in all of them is very easy to follow and in shape but doesn't seem unattainably so. This one is my go to right now because I can do pretty much the whole routine without modifications and feel like I've had a great workout in under a half an hour plus you don't even need any equipment.

Have a wonderful day of love friends!

Friday I'm in Love

TGIF! I’m extra excited about this weekend because our bathroom update is going full throttle. I cannot wait to show y’all pictures of it when it’s finished. Some of you asked about our new fixtures I posted about and they are all from Home Depot. It is amazing what a new light fixture can do for a space. The new fixtures for our bathroom are replacing the old school dressing room bulb look that I can’t stand. I am so sorry if this is your style, it’s just not mine! I have some other new favorites to go along with the post name update this week so let’s get to it.

 Yesterday was my girl Kristina’s birthday so I whipped up some lemon squares for her because she loves all the lemon things. I used this recipe and added my own twist with a bit of vanilla and lemon JELLO mix. It was so easy and although I didn’t try them myself (wasn’t feeling the lemon) she did and gave it the seal of approval.

I have never been a foundation wearing girl. It’s not that I think I don’t need it but rather that I tried several different kinds years ago and never found one I liked so I gave up. Pregnancy has been kind to my skin this trimester and I mentioned loving the new Philosophy products I received as gifts for Christmas, but some days I feel like I look a bit washed out. I have been wanting to try BB Cream as an alternative to foundation just to even things out and give my face a boost. I researched and read reviews and finally purchased this one via Amazon. I cannot even believe how much of a difference it makes without looking or feeling like I’ve buried my skin under layers of makeup. I absolutely love this and now I’m not afraid to test out some other brands since I know this one is a keeper!

In our house we love blankets. Lots and lots of blankets. You might even say we are blanket hoarders. Okay, it’s not really that bad. We have 2 sets, one for the humans and one for the furbabies. When the old ones get ratty they go to the furbabies and when theirs get ruined, well, they go to blanket heaven. Since it’s pretty easy for blankets to get beat up when dogs use them with their claws and slobber and the occasional accident, we buy them cheap. Typically we get fleece blankets from Old Navy for $5-$10 depending on the sales they have going on but I came upon some for $2.88 yesterday and had to stock up.

The new Lucy & Co. hoodies I ordered for the boys came in this week and I can’t get over how cute they look in them. These fit my little monsters so well and look so adorable I want to buy them in every style! I might even have to get the Hello Apparel matching tee for mama.

Did you know that dogs can have sensitive tummies just like humans? Well, a lot of people don’t! We’ve known since he was a baby that Chaos is one of those dogs. Our Pittie is just sensitive all the way through.  It’s not the most fun thing to do, but checking out your dog’s doo doo is a surefire way to tell if there’s a problem. First of all, they shouldn’t have to go #2 all the time and it shouldn’t consistently be soft or diarrhea like. Your vet will tell you that dog poop can tell you a whole lot about the health of your pup so even though it’s icky, if you pay attention you could learn something! Back to my point, the trainer Chris is working with gave a recommendation for Show Stopper. It’s an antioxidant blend for dogs that has really seemed to make a difference for not just Chaos but Ares as well. They have shinier coats, shed less and digestion seems like a much smoother process if you know what I mean.
