What a wonderful weekend! After a very long drive, we successfully surprised our families. Holidays are just so much sweeter spent with family. But I am EXHAUSTED. Amongst all the traveling, my allergies decided to act up so now I sound like kermit the frog. Sacrifices I suppose.</div>

My wonderful Family & my adorable sister carrying baby Ava, who I desperately wished would have made her appearance while Auntie Shell was in town. She's due next week. Send lots of good juju her way! We have an annual Thanksgiving lunch with our long time friends, who are really family to us. We've known them for over 15 years.

+MY 2ND EVER BLACK FRIDAY SHOPPING TRIP- Only the best dog mom's wait in a line, with 100+ people, an hour before Petsmart opens...in the cold without coffee or food in your tummy, to score some amazing deals and that free stocking full of treats! Was <i>totally</i> worth it. Them pups are not cheap! AND I scored some of my first name brand purses and wallets :) Shopping the morning of Black Friday was great this year, especially with my cute lil mom... I figured out all the crazies go the evening before!</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Last week, Hubby and I had a mini Christmas photo session downtown. Unfortunately, that day was rainy and thirty degrees... We were freezing by the end of it! (Pictures turned out wonderful though) So we ran over to The Blue Plate. We have been wanting to try this place since we got here. Their brunch menu was amazing! I loved the modern atmosphere and that they support local farms and suppliers.</div>

Why must men be <i>so</i> hard to shop for?! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Luckily I've been saving gift ideas that I have come across all year. David & I aren't really doing gifts this year, but I might buy him one or two of these things. They are just too awesome to pass up on gifting!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
+ I think this gift is probably my favorite. Every guy in your life will <i>love</i> this! I found <a href="https://www.bottlebreacher.com/">Bottle Breacher</a> on the Veterans Day episode of Shark Tank. They offer hand crafted 50 Cal Bottle Openers made by Active Duty service members, Reservists, and Veterans. Made in the USA. Need I say more??</div>

To be honest, I can't wait to stuff myself for Thanksgiving Day. I am blessed to be able to do so. I also can't wait for leftovers, but as we all know, it can get boring eating the same thing everyday. Except for pie. There is always room for pie. </div>

Did you know the entire United States had some kind of freeze warning yesterday?! Yeah, we had snow flurries here in Chattanooga. My #FLgirl self acted like a little 4 year old. Jax, on the other hand, definitely is <i>not</i> loving this cold weather. {He is currently on <i><b>my</b></i> heated blanket} We have stocked up on blankets (thank you Big Lots!) & doggie coats (thank you <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/bestsellers/pet-supplies/3024171011/ref=zg_b_bs_3024171011_1">Amazon</a>!).</div>

Anyway, since buying a home, we have had to really cut back on spending and a lot of our luxuries. It's been really hard, but that's a whole other issue. One of the ways we have saved money is by doing our dogs nails ourselves. Yikes, right? Well, I have watched the groomers do my dogs nails for long enough now and figured, "hey it can't be that hard, right?!" I bought this <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003TU0XG4/">Dremmel Pet Grooming Kit</a>, and I am so happy we did. I have always been picky about how they grind Jax's nails because
he has a long nail bed. No more worries. It's also a plus that he thinks he is totally having a day at the spa when I do his nails. For Gunner... we have
to actually trim his because he is not a fan of the Dremmel.</div>

if you have a puppy... take them to groomer's from a very young age!
Get them use to their paws being touched and their nails being trimmed.
Makes life that much easier. </i><br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For those who may not be aware, I am an avid dog rescue supporter. I've got 3 crazy rescue pups of my own! Since I cannot foster or continue adding pups to our family, I donate money and dog supplies when I can. Volunteering my time at adoption events is THE most rewarding for me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*You get LOTS of puppy cuddles & kisses</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
This weekend the Hubs and I set out on exploring our new town. We ventured to Downtown Chattanooga to check out the highly reviewed German gastro pub, <a href="http://www.brewhausbar.com/">Brewhaus</a>. This was my first ever German food experience. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I learned that I hate bratwursts, but I <i>love</i> schnitzels, spaetzel and of course the bier. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The view was also wonderful! We got to see part of the sunset over the mountains and the river walk bridge. Afterward, we decided to do a little more exploring. We found an adorable doggie boutique, a delicious donut shop, and we stopped in to have a brew at <a href="http://www.chattabrew.com/">Chattanooga Brewing Co</a>. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's easy to say we are quickly falling in love with this town.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have you ever tried German food? What's your favorite?</div>

+ I GOT A JOB!<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
A huge blessing for our lil family! I spent months of job searching, applying, being let down over and over again. It's just a disheartening and tiring process. Tuesday my SIL revamped my resume {she's freaking amazing!}. I continued to send out my resume and just like that I got 3-4 emails back to set up interviews. The first one asked me to come in person to apply. So Thursday morning I applied and they interviewed me right on the spot {I haven't been interviewed in forever and to my surprise I was so confident and knew what I could do and what I had to offer}. I thought it went well but I didn't get my hopes up because not many places want to take in someone in the medical field who has no experience yet. I've been praying that someone would give me the chance. After the interview I talked to a couple of the other offers and set up interviews with them. Well wouldn't ya know! Later that evening I got a phone call with a job offer! I knew it was meant to be. I started the very next day. It is seriously a blessing! I am a Chiropractic Assistant. I have so much to learn and many opportunities to grow with this job, but <i>I am thrilled and blessed</i>.<br />

It was so lovely! (besides the tight quarters) The food was great and the drinks were strong. They set the mood with some very sappy and romantic music. Think Marvin Gaye... oh yeah. Later they had dancing. It was a fun 2 hours. We would've explored downtown afterward except we were exhausted and it was cold and rainy. We do plan to go back for one of their daytime cruises so that we can see the places along the river better.</div>

This weekend I road tripped to NC to spend time with my SIL's and nephew for his 2nd birthday. His mother and I made him <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/96334879504015279/">this</a> Lemon Blueberry Cake from <a href="http://sallysbakingaddiction.com/2014/02/09/lemon-blueberry-layer-cake/">Sally's Baking Addiction</a>. {Pinterest for the win!} It was AMAZING. Moist, not too lemon-y, and the frosting was light and fluffy. This is a must for those birthdays, parties, and/or events this Spring. Seriously, go pin it right now.</div>

Besides some delicious cake, and eating lots of food that we probably shouldn't have... It was so great to have all the SIL's together. I love love love being back on the mainland for this reason alone. And to be able to cross state lines again. It has been quite some time since we last reunited. My heart is happy and thankful for wonderful family.</div>

<i><span style="font-size: x-small;">Picture after picking up my babies in FL after they flew in all the way from Hawaii!</span></i><br />
<br />
<br />
Being a fur-mom of two, I'd like to believe I've become quite the master of all things dog related. I am always on the hunt for the best bargain and researching things all the time. Having two dogs is quite a bit more expensive than just one, something often overlooked when taking in another. So I know everyone loves good finds and saving money! So each week I'll be here to share these finds with my fellow dog mommas! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When it was only Jax, I never had to deal with ear/yeast infections til we got Gemma. She has had a few now, and then even Jax had a couple. After much of my own research to narrow down what may be the cause of these and a change of diets (gluten/sugar free foods,) I think I've finally got a handle on it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But because of these multiple ear infections, the bill added up quickly. While we were in between moves in NC they BOTH got ear infections and I refused to go to some random vet. I turned to the interwebs for some at-home rememdies. Apple cider vinegar, yogurt, etc were a no-go. So I scoured the web again to try and find products similar to what the vet prescribed us. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Alas, after researching and reading reviews on <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Pet-King-Enzymatic-Solution-Ounces/dp/B0025YOJXS/ref=sr_1_1?s=pet-supplies&ie=UTF8&qid=1393079335&sr=1-1">Amazon</a> and <a href="http://www.1800petmeds.com/Zymox+Otic+Enzymatic+Solution+with+Hydrocortisone-prod10622.html">1800PetMeds</a>, I found the solution!</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Overall this is a <b>fantastic</b> product! I used this for about 5 days on my dogs ears and you can tell right away they felt relief. Ears were quickly healed of the infections. Amazon never lets me down! And for just $13 and FREE SHIPPING {if you're a Prime member} it's a steal. No more $100+ vet visits for this momma! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This should definitely be a staple in your house if your dog is prone to ear/yeast infections.<br />

Change is good, though. I'm finally learning to embrace it.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We have finally settled in to our temporary home of Chattanooga, TN for the next 3-4 years. We finally have our car, our household goods, new furniture, new digs. Life is good.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am so happy to be back on the Mainland, but there are so many things I miss about Hawaii. That lil island became my home. I learned to finally love it and I fell hard. It was made sweeter with the amazing friends that turned into family while I was there. Thus being the hardest to say good bye to. But such is military life. This was my very first PCS (permanent change of station). I am so thankful for a supportive husband. He constantly reminds me that each place we move will be different. There will be things we love, things we hate, and great friends along the way. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am so thrilled to be back to blogging. I've truly missed it, though I did enjoy the hiatus! I know many of you have kept up with me via Instagram. I am on Twitter now, so be sure to find me (@michward4). Excited to get back into the swing of things! </div>

<b>Alas, my friends, I have found the best protein pancakes! </b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I've tried <i>many</i> recipes and have always ended up hating them. I think it's the egg/banana combo. Ick! Once you make these, they will be the only pancakes you <i>ever</i> make!</div>

Saw this link-up going on and just had to join in!!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Being a part of a sorority was one of the best decisions I ever made. I consider myself an introvert and always dreamed of being part of a sorority because I had many friends back home who were involved in the greek life and I got to party with all of them. SO MUCH FUN, but what a blur! Haha. I knew exactly what sorority I wanted to be in and finally bit the bullet when I attended UNF (University of North Florida) and a Kappa Delta girl I became. It's not easy for me to make friends so this pulled me out of my comfort zone, in a good way. My parents supported it, but said if I wanted it, I would have to pay for it myself and that's exactly what I did! Sadly, I only got to experience the sorority life for a year and I was the oldest in my rush class, but I enjoyed every second of it and the lifelong sisters I made from it. I have a Kappa Delta box back at home of all my goodies and I just love going through it and cherishing those memories. <br />
