What could be better than an easy caramel sauce poured over semi-sweet chocolate chips and an oatmeal-brown sugar crust? Topping it with an oatmeal crumble, of course! If you haven't had the pure joy of trying one yet, get ready because this super easy Carmelita Bars dessert is about to be on your way to your tummy!I originally learned how to make these from Averie Cooks and adapted them based on what was easiest for me. I am not about to sit and unwrap caramels but she has a great video that will help you catch on if you need a little extra help. ...

Best Puppy Toys For Giant Breeds

November 12, 2019 by barb

best puppy toys for giant breeds

We have owned Leonbergers for quite some time now and just recently brought our newest Leo puppy into the home, making this our 3rd. This started a brand new search for all the new best puppy toys for giant breeds - and more! Whether you are a previous owner, or are new to giant breeds, you undoubtably know their needs are very different from other dogs. These guys grow so quickly and toys, bedding, leashes, bowls, etc are expensive! You want things that are going to last at least a few months. But that is so hard to do when you bring your adorable 20 lb 8 week old pup home and in less than 2 months they more than double in size. Yes, it is completely normal to have a giant breed weigh in at 40 pounds at 15/16 weeks!So, after careful research and using these items in our home, here is what is Peyton (our newest pup) tested and approved for the first few months and beyond.Best Puppy Toys for Giant Breeds(The following are affiliate links)Everyone knows that dogs love Bully Sticks. We have purchased the Cadet Brand from Costco for years based on numerous breeder recommendations. They are basically doggy crack. But did you know what a huge choking risk they are? ...

Norwegian Pearl Cruise Ship Review

July 1, 2019 by barb

I recently returned from a 14 day British Isles itinerary on the Norwegian Pearl cruise ship. We choose this ship due to the itinerary which was one of the few things we ended up happy with. Although we personally had a wonderful time visiting all these ports this is the first cruise ship I have left in a very long time without purchasing a future booking and have made a point to tell people I absolutely do not recommend sailing with Norwegian Cruise Line when asked about our trip.Norwegian Pearl June 8, 2019 Itinerary:3 stops in the Norwegian Fjords (Flam, Geiranger, Haugesund)EdinburghScottish Highlands (Inverness)DublinBelfastParis (Le Havre)LondonBruggeAmsterdamNorwegian Pearl Massive Price DropWe booked initially in December of 2018 a mini-suite for my son and I. Two weeks after final payment the price on our trip dropped by more than 60%. I was offered a $250 on board credit as a consolation to the almost $7000 drop. Not ever cruising NCL prior I was baffled. I have never seen a cruise line struggle to fill cabins to the extent they created such a massive drop. That should have been our first clue! Since NCL was of very little help I took matters into my ...

Norwegian Pearl Thermal Suite Review

June 28, 2019 by barb

Norwegian Pearl Thermal Suite review

I just returned from a 14 day Norwegian Pearl British Isles cruise and used the thermal spa almost every day to recover from our intense schedule of ports of call. I have used thermal spas on Disney ships in the past more for general relaxation but my purpose this time in buying the pass was because I knew I would be tired and exhausted each night and would need a way to recover to start the next day. The Norwegian Pearl thermal suite pass was $249 per person purchased ahead of sailing. Price varies according to length of cruise. Check out this post for a full review of the Norwegian Pearl.Overall ImpressionsThe thermal suite was by far my favorite part of the ship and I often spent hours rotating between the hot tub, Thalassotherapy pool and the heated stone loungers. The large spouting fountains in the Thalassotherapy pool were perfect to work out knots in your shoulders and the bubble loungers in the pool helped my sore legs get back to all that walking the next morning. The views from the regular loungers can't be beat while pulling out of port.How It All WorksThere was a slight discount to buy the pass prior to the cruise for the entire length. They ...

A Bit About Me…


I mostly pretend to be a Denver based blogger these days but the reality is closer to a busy mom of two incredible young adults. I run freelance social media campaigns for large and small companies in my free time.

Here I write about crafts, recipes, travel, special needs, social media, tech, family life and anything else that strikes my fancy. I am a bit of squirrel and you never know what you may find here from day to day. Hint: it somehow always seems to tie in my love for essential oils.
