Life, Family, and Home - Simplified & Sweetened
With the coming fall season, comes cold, flu, and yes— allergies! (Although quite honestly, around my house allergies can attack at any time! They don’t need a season!)
Today I’m teaming up with Arm & Hammer to share a couple of their products that can help you fight allergies. As part of the Arm & Hammer Influencer Network, my kitty cats and I received an Easy Breathing with Arm & Hammer package.
Keeping pets is something that many of us find joy in at some stage of our lives. Most families have a lot of love to give when it comes to adopting or buying a new pet; whether it be a cute little puppy, a tiny little hamster, an interesting reptile or a goldfish, pets are treasured all over the world.
The joy of owning a pet and inviting an animal to become a part of the family is undoubtedly a rewarding thing. But when it comes to pets and cleanliness in the home, it can become a problem.
Pets can be very messy in the home and if you have a busy lifestyle, it’s not always easy to keep on top of cleaning the rabbit hut, changing the guinea-pig’s sawdust bedding or washing the dog’s furry coat. But there are different maintenance levels for every animal so if you’re looking for something easy and stress free, there are a few options. [Read more…]
As you may know, I’m a proud Cat Mommy! The Simply Sweet Home cats pretty much rule this place; I just live here. We recently received samples of Tidy Cats with Glade Odor Solutions. We’ve always been Tidy Cats customers ever since I brought Rebel and Dixie home, and I was really excited to try this new variety. [Read more…]
I’m very excited today to be partnering up with Peet’s Coffee for their Give a Cup Campaign.

As many of you know, I love my kitty cats. I got Dixie Belle and Rebel when they were 2 months old, and If have had them now for four and a half years. Then late last year a little white cat we now call Sugar Belle showed up at my dad’s house, and I offered to take her to get her fixed. I got a little attached to her, and long story short, she is still here!
My cats are mostly well behaved. But they do get a little scared when people are around. Rebel has just finally gotten to a point where he will come in the living room when “strangers” are here, and Dixie runs away when someone comes over. And both Rebel and Dixie are terrified of Sugar Belle.
One thing I’ve been pleased with about all three cats is that they don’t have any problems with urine marking, but occasionally we do have issues with scratching.
So for all the reasons I have mentioned, I’ve been interested in trying Comfort Zone® with Feliway®, and I was very excited to receive a sample of the product.
Comfort Zone® with Feliway® products help reduce stress-related behavior in cats by mimicking their natural pheromones that help them feel calm and comfortable in their environment. The products are 95% effective at reducing scratching and urine marking for cats after 90 days of continuous use.
The product is a diffuser that continuously releases an odorless vapor that mimics the soothing feline facial pheromone, and you just plug it in where your cat spends most of its time to keep it calm.
I’ve got mine plugged up in our living room. Actually Rebel and Dixie Belle spend most of their time in our office, but I decided to place it in the living room, so it would be centrally located. Thisis also the room where the “strangers” always enter, and a place where I’d like some help saving my furniture, so I’m hoping it will be effective.
So far I’ve noticed a couple of things. My mom came over the other day, and Dixie not only came in the room with me, but she also went over to my mom to get petted. And Sugar Belle, who’s still pretty wild because she is young and untrained, seems to be calming down.
Comfort Zone® with Feliway® also comes in a spray that I would like to try. You can spray it on places where the cats mark or scratch. And you can also use it in pet carriers before taking your cat on a trip. Rebel and Dixie completely panic when they are put in a carrier, so I think this would be a lifesaver for trips to the vet.

As a Cat mommy, I’m always looking for cleaning products that are safe to use around my fur babies. I recently learned about Clean+Green. They have a line of safe, non-toxic, cleaning products, to take care of everything from carpets and upholstery, to wood and tile floors, concrete, auto, and more! There’s even cage cleaner, litter box cleaner, and de-skunk coat cleaner!
Here are just a few tips to keep in mind:
Morton’s Safe-T-Pet Ice Melt – I was happy to receive a review pack of items, which included the Morton Ice Melt. Since we had two big rounds of snow last year and are expecting another cold winter in 2012, I’m sure this will come in handy.

As you do a little fall cleaning for the upcoming holidays, consider freshening up your cat’s litter box with World’s Best Cat Litter.
My Thoughts: We tried the Multiple Cat Clumping Formula. I liked that I could pour the litter in the pan without a lot of dust flying up. And I also liked the fine consistency of this litter. The cats quickly accepted the change of litter after a little sniff or two.
And this litter did a good job of covering up odors. The litter clumped up very well for easy scooping. Plus, with this litter, I didn’t have to deal with that ammonia smell that can sometimes take your breath away when scooping.
All in all, I’d say this is a good product. And if you’re interested in trying a litter that’s a litter more environmentally friendly and lacks chemicals that can be harmful to your and your cat children, you should give World’s Best Cat Litter a try!
