Artsy VaVa found this neat heater and turned it into an awesome Kerosene Heater Table.  I never would have thought of that---but I totally love it!

Look at these delicious Hawaiian Chicken Grillers that Lisa at Cooking with Curls came up with. Her photography looks as great as the food!

Nudging Your Pup With Healthy Dog Treats #NudgesMoments #cbias #shop

I am a member of the Collective Bias® Social Fabric® Community. This shop has been compensated as part of a social shopper insights study for Collective Bias® and their client. All opinions are honest and are my own.

It occurred to me, recently, that our little Yorkie, Mr. Darcy, has never been on the blog!  Since I had the opportunity to shop for Nudges Dog Treats today, I thought I'd introduce him and show you all how much he loved the chicken jerky for dogs that Elisha and I picked up for him at Walmart. You can see photos and read about our shopping trip when you visit my Google+ album. 

Mr. Darcy used to really be on the ball about performing tricks and responding to commands, but we've all sort of slacked off lately on testing his skills.  Earlier this evening, Elisha and I took him to the back yard to see if he'd obey some of his favorite prompts.  Maybe it was just because our cat, Brigadier General Cat O'Neill was giving him the eye, but he was not at all interested.

Until we broke out the treats...  Elisha opened up the bag and tore off a small amount to test him with.  Nudges Wholesome Dog Treats tear really easily for all sizes of dogs and, with no fillers or artificial flavors, I feel safe giving him these snacks regularly.

Once Mr. Darcy realized there was a reward in it for him, he started responding immediately to Elisha's commands.  He sat, stood up, shook hands, and rolled over---each time being rewarded with a high quality Nudges treat.  Nudges treats are packed with protein and 11 essential vitamins.  They're made in the U.S.A. with real American chicken.  Mr. Darcy thinks they're the best dog treats ever!

One reason why we like to train Mr. Darcy and reward him for obedience is because we want to be able to take him out in public without him being an irritation to others.  If we want to go for a walk, attend a BBQ in the park, or have friends over for some outside fun, we don't want our dog barking and jumping on people.  It's important that he obeys commands like "sit" or "lay down" so he will make it a pleasant experience for everyone.

Elisha had a lot of fun practicing Mr. Darcy's tricks with him.  I think we'll make this a regular habit!

Classical Composers Monthly---An Excellent Resource for Homeschoolers

One of our favorite things to do as a homeschooling family is to study history.  When I was in school, I thought history class was all about wars and politics---I wasn't at all interested.  In our homeschool, we find any excuse to make history a part of every subject!

I love to come up with fun studies for my kids on historical characters and events.  Remember my Titanic Tea Party?  That was a blast!  I've been trying to come up with a great one for art and music history, but have hit several road blocks.  Thankfully, I've found an excellent source for these very kind of studies.  Thank you, so much, to Classical Composers Monthly, for sending me a sample compilation to review.  All opinions are honest and are my own.  This article contains affiliate links.

Classical Composers Monthly is an amazing resource that sends out monthly themed collections based on a classical music composer.  Some of the things that might be included in each monthly compilation are:

• lesson plans and activities
• videos about the composer's music, the instruments they used, and the world they lived in
• a clickable playlist, educational ebooks, links to other online resources

I have been trying for months to write up a study on Beethoven for my kids. When I clicked the link for Beethoven in my review collection, I was thrilled at everything included!  I had links to biographies, a timeline project, printable pages and games, seven videos, 30 compositions, a 3-hour movie documentary, and more!

In addition to collections based on classical composers, they've also just released a collection of Fine Arts Pages for studying notable artists.  I am just so thrilled to have all of this information together in one spot.  I know our family will really utilize both the composer collections and the fine arts collection this coming year!
