New Member of Our Family!

So we recently got a new puppy in our home. After two years of putting it off and waiting, the perfect doggie actually found us I believe. Our newest addition is Miss Chanel and she fits so perfectly in our family.

 

 

Chanel is a Pomeranian, Chihuahua, Dachshund mix and is just the sweetest little thing. She was just 2 pounds when she came into our family and two months later is now at 7 pounds. Her Dachshund breed is showing more the older she gets, but with the other two breeds I believe she will not get too long or too big. We are so happy to have her in our family! <3 p="">

 

 

Anyone else have a new family member? We would love to hear about them. 

 

McDonald's Voluntary Hello Kitty Recall

Just received this notice in my email and wanted to pass along to our families. If your child received this toy, please be sure to take it to your nearest McDonald's to return it and receive a new toy.   Voluntary Happy Meal Hello Kitty Recall

Nothing is more important to us than the safety of you and your family. We wanted to give you a heads up that we have decided to voluntarily recall the red whistle included with the Happy Meal Hello Kitty Birthday Lollipop toy (#6) in the U.S. and Canada after recently discovering that components of the whistle can detach, posing a hazard  to young children. If you have received this toy, we ask that you immediately return it to your local  McDonald’s restaurant. The whistle can be removed from the figurine. We’d be  happy to offer you another toy, as well as your choice of either a yogurt tube or bag of apple slices. No other designs in the current Hello Kitty and Max Steel sets are involved in  this voluntary recall, nor are toys affected from previous Hello Kitty promotions.  We are committed to recovering the red whistles that were distributed to our restaurants and our customers.   For more information, please go to  http://news.mcdonalds.com/Corporate/Media-Statements/Toy-Recall.

Happy Veteran's Day!

Thank you to all who have served or are currently serving our country!

Free Autographed Disney Letter for Your Child!

             


Ok, since we have now watched Frozen at least a half a million times in our house, I think it is time for the preschooler to do this activity. If your child sends a letter to a Disney character, that character will reply with an autographed picture. I am sure Elsa or Anna (or perhaps both if I know my niece) will be getting a letter very soon from a very excited little girl.


Just be sure your child's letter is addressed to a specific character and send to the address in the picture above. In case you can't read it, we will reprint it below.


Attn: (Character of Child's Choice)
Walt Disney World Communications
PO Box 10040
Lake Buena Vista, Fl  32830-0040

Good luck. Let us know if you get your autographed picture and which character your child chose.
