Pet Vacations

Instead of sending your pets to a kennel when you go on vacation, consider sending them to a pet inn. This is a place where your pets are treated like they are on vacation as well. There are several amenities offered at inns for pets that will make them comfortable while they are away from their owners, making you feel comfortable as well. 

Generators are usually available at pet inns so that the animals are cared for if the electricity were to go out. Meals are given at least twice a day, and there are treats offered as well. A continuous water supply is usually given so that pets always have access to something to drink. Many facilities have beds for the pets, and there is time for the animals to play with others that are of the same size. Floors are made so that the animals don't slide. Doors and fencing make it almost impossible for the animals to escape, keeping them safely inside the area. There are cat condos that the cats can scratch on and toys for dogs to play with while they are in their private space. Grooming services are offered, and most locations offer a health guarantee. Learn about the other amenities offered before making a decision for your pet to stay in a resort or inn.

A Bedtime Routine For Little Ones

So, if you haven't noticed, this fall has been a little bit crazy at the Kerr house. It's been a very big adventure for mom to figure out how to deal with having more kids in school, two different schools, plus homework and fewer kids taking naps. I am really missing the naps! We have had to adjust our schedule in lots of different ways but the most noticeable has been at bedtime where we have been able to find some new tricks and some new products to help us succeed.

For a long time our bedtime schedule was loose and we regularly changed it depending on what we had going that particular day. Now that we have to be up earlier to get kids to school mom has to put her foot down regularly to get kids in bed so that I can tolerate them in the morning. 

Besides going to bed early, the thing we have found most helpful to making it through our very long days is sleeping through the night. Our biggest challenge has been the kids waking up to wet sheets due to bed wetting. Trust me when I say that I am not a fan of being woken up in the middle of the night by a wet child to have to climb to the top bunk of the bunk beds to change the sheets while trying to keep the other children in the bed sleeping (our boys have an awesome triple bunk). I much prefer it when everyone sleeps through the night. 

That is why I was excited to try the new GoodNites*TRU-FIT* underwear with my big boys. I know that bed wetting is something that many children deal with (one study shows 1 in 6) and thus, we are trying to adapt our routine so it's not as big of a challenge and GoodNites® is helping.

There are so many things that GoodNites*TRU-FIT* have helped us to accomplish but here are a few of the most important:

1. They look and feel like normal underwear so my kids don't notice who's wearing them and who isn't.
2. They allow my children to sleep through the night by keeping the wetness contained.
3. They don't fill up the trash cans as quickly as other underwear we have tried.
4. I don't have a HUGE mess when one of them accidentally gets put in the laundry and ends up in the washer and/or dryer.
5. I can get them at Target - my favorite place to shop!

If you are interested in learning more about GoodNites*TRU-FIT* underwear than you can visit their website and make sure to join us for a twitter party taking place Wednesday, November 19 from 8:00 – 9:00AM PST / 11:00 AM – 12:00PM EST to learn even more about the amazing features offered and how they can benefit your family (just follow #TRUFITTARGET). If you're anxious to try out GoodNites*TRU-FIT* before the party then head on down to the nearest Target store and look for the bags with the $2 coupon attached today!

Goodnight!

What Mom Really Wants For Christmas

You know that moment when your husband asks you what you want for Christmas (or your birthday or your anniversary)? Do you know how many times I've told E that all I really want is an uninterrupted nap? Ya, that doesn't fly very well. He wants to know what I would like that comes in a box. So this year, I've decided that what I really want is a camera, something besides my phone to take photos with. I want to be able to make memories with my family and actually remember them. In other words, I need more shots like these.

That means I've been checking out Best Buy to see what they have to offer. There are three options that I think would be great and last our family for many years.

• GoPro HERO4 Black: the most advanced GoPro ever, featuring improved image quality and a 2x more powerful processor with 2x faster video frame rates1, HERO4 Black takes award‐winning GoPro performance to a whole new level.
  
• GoPro HERO4 Silver: the first-ever GoPro to feature a built-in touch display. Controlling The camera, playing back footage and adjusting settings is ultra-convenient—just view, tap and swipe the screen. With 1080p60 and 720p120 video, and 12MP photos at a staggering 30 frames per second, HERO4 Silver combines powerful, pro-quality capture with the convenience of a touch display.
• GoPro HERO: Featuring high‐quality 1080p30 and 720p60 video, and 5MP photos up to 5 fps, HERO captures the same immersive footage that’s made GoPro one of the best-selling cameras in the world. 12x more powerful processor with 2x faster video frame rates

What is your favorite camera for taking fun pictures of the family wherever you go? Let me know as I need as many opinions as I can get. You can also learn more about the options above at Best Buy's Website or visit your local Best Buy to check out the latest cameras in person.
