Natural Balance Belly Bites dog treats

Daisy and I just got our paws on some brand new treats from Natural Balance. They’re called Belly Bites and they are so yummy that your dog will do just about anything to get them! It was pretty difficult to take photos while Daisy was going through her best begging routine but I managed to get a couple shots of her playing dead and doing a pretty intense “watch me” while waiting for her reward!

Belly Bites dog treatsBelly Bites come in 3 formulas: Chicken & Legume, Duck & Legume, Salmon & Legume. They are a semi-moist, grain-free dog treats, and are a nice size for treating…and easy to break into tiny pieces for training!

You might even WIN some great PRIZES! It’s not too late to get out and celebrate National Park and Recreation Month…and there’s extra incentive to do so, because in addition to enjoying the great outdoors with your family and fur kids, you can enter the photo contest for a chance to win a $100 or $500 gift card!

love my park

July is national Park and Recreation Month and your local parks are encouraging everyone to come out this month and experience all the wonderful aspects of parks and recreation.  Nationwide, recreation departments have organized events and activities to help families spend quality time together, enjoy nature and get active. This provides a great opportunity to not only make the most of the beautiful weather, but also to take a stand against the obesity epidemic and technology trends that consistently keep more kids indoors and living less active lifestyles.

As part of Park and Recreation Month, the National Recreation and Park Associationis encouraging everyone to show the love for local parks and recreation and wants everyone to answer the question, “I Love my Parks and Recreation Because…” They have a fill in the blank social media poster that can be filled in and shared, and a fun month-long weekly photo contest that encourages everyone to show and share the LOVE for local parks! The NRPA website includes information on all of the above initiatives, free downloadable resources as well as a calendar of events scheduled nationwide.

You don’t have to go far or spend lots of money to have fun — just have to head to your local parks and recreation. There are great places right in your community to go have some family fun all summer long. Most will even allow the fur kids to join you…just remember to check the rules, bring water for your dog, and always pick up after them!

Sparkle & Shine with Cascade Platinum Pacs + #MyPlatinum Instagram Contest!

Some posts may contain affiliate links. Read the full disclosure.

I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Cascade. I received a product sample to facilitate my review and a promotional item as a thank you for participating.

I don’t know anyone who is a fan of doing dishes. If you do, send them over to our place ASAP! Seriously though, sometimes it seems like a never-ending cycle…soaking and pre-washing, loading and unloading, repeat…you know the drill. I’m grateful that we live somewhere with a dishwasher, since our last place didn’t have one, but I still feel like it’s way too much work. When we were invited to test out the new Platinum Pacs from Cascade recently, I was super happy to oblige since I’m always on the hunt for anything that works harder so I don’t have to!

Putting Cascade Platinum Pacs To The Test

Since Cascade Platinum Pacs have the grease-fighting power of Dawn, and promise no pre-washing requried, I got straight to work testing them out with the dirties pan I could find. We’d made bacon that morning, so the timing was perfect! I do admit to giving a quick rinse under the kitchen faucet before putting the super greasy frying pan in the dishwasher, but I didn’t soak or scrub it like I usually would. Check out the before and after…so shiny!!!

Not only am I finding it to be a real time-saver not having to soak and pre-wash loads of dirty dishes, I’m also LOVING how all our dishware, glasses and silverware shine and sparkle thanks to these powerful little pacs. Our dishwasher is pretty new, so I also love that they help keep the inside of the dishwasher looking like new and prevent hard-water film from building up.

Cascade #MyPlatinum Instagram Contest

Since Cascade Platinum helps makes dishware picture-perfect, there’s even an opportunity to show off your “best dishes” with the #MyPlatinum Instagram Contest going on right now. Show off your sparkle and win! Each week, two contestants will be selected to receive a brand new dishwasher. And, one lucky grand prize winner will receive a Platinum kitchen makeover! There’s no purchase necessary, but you do need to be a registered Instagram user and make sure to use the hashtag #MyPlatinum plus tag @MyCascade when you share your photo entry.

You can get all the details on the Cascade #MyPlatinum Contest Page.
