The Parrot Talks in Chocolate, Amazon, FREE Kindle Book Download

I love my new iPad and one of the best things about it is being able to download and collect FREE ebooks and Kindle editions of books. I love to read but don’t always have a ton of time…the nice thing about the free downloads is that you can snag them when you see them and then save them for when you have time.

Amazon frequently selects different books and temporarily offers them for FREE. You’ll find cookbooks, mysteries, children’s stories and fiction for grown ups. Here’s the list of the Top 100 FREE Kindle Books available right now.

One that I’m particularly excited about is The Parrot Talks in Chocolate (The Life and Times of a Hawaiian Tiki Bar #1). The Print List Price is $12.99 and the Digital Version usually sells for $4.99 but it’s on the FREE List right now, so be sure to head on over and snag it while it’s free! The reviews are terrific and it sounds like a great story…just the title has me looking forward to making myself a tropical drink and settling by the pool to start reading!

Amazon Kindle Downloads work on just about any device…not just the Kindle. If you have a PC, Smartphone, iPhone, Tablet, or just about any other device, you can get a Free Kindle Apps for your mobile device or tablet that allows you to build your own library and read books in their digital form!

Bamboo the Cat

Come meet Bamboo the Cat, the adorable star of a new interactive children’s book introducing kids to yoga! I’m so excited about this book by Denise Hitch, because not only is yoga fun and relaxing but its health benefits are well-known and this creative book is a great way to introduce young children to yoga through storytelling. Both parents and children can follow Bamboo the Cat on fun adventures while acting out the story with yoga poses.

As you probably already know if you are a yoga enthusiast, yoga develops flexibility and strength, improves concentration, and promotes relaxation. Now your child can learn to balance in tree pose or stay calm in savasana (corpse pose).

K9 Kamp Week 3 Highlights: Just One Doggone Minute To Win it!

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

It’s week #3 of K9 Kamp and the challenge was Just One Doggone Minute to Win It! We all agree that it can be tough to find time for fitness each day, so the goal was to initiate a fun fitness game with your dog whenever you have a spare minute.

Since I work from home, Daisy usually comes over to poke at me and try to get my attention sometime during the day but I’m often guilty of ignoring her or sending her away with a pat and a toy when I’m busy. By the end of the day, I’m usually stiff from sitting too long, and my eyes hurt from staring at the computer monitor! This week was fun because I had an official excuse to get up and play for a few minutes throughout a day! I wouldn’t say that our games were all that original but they did get me up from my desk more than usual and I’m thankful for that! Here’s a rundown:

 

Indoor Frisbee Toss:

Indoor Frisbee

We took advantage of Daisy’s KONG Flyer and enjoyed a few quick games of indoor frisbee. Daisy was thrilled since I usually reserve this game for the park or beach, but I figured that since the Flyer is floppy and flexible rather than hard like a regular frisbee, that it wouldn’t do much damage if we were careful! After a few times of catch and fetch the flyer, it turned into a game of tug so we had to stop before we destroyed our toy!

 Football Roll:

This game is also called ROFL (Rolling Our Football and Laughing!) Instead of tossing the football, we crawled around on the floor with it. I tried to roll it away and Daisy tried to bring it back or stop me. She was general fascinated with the way it rolled since she doesn’t usually get to play with it…Don’t tell Papa we used his toy! My exercise was mostly laughing as Daisy pounced, batted and nudged at the football with her nose as she tried to figure out how to pick it up!

Rope Ring Tug and Toss:

Daisy Tug

I got a pretty good biceps and triceps workout trying out Daisy’s adorable new rope ring toy. This was pretty much your standard game of tug but every now and then I threw it and did some arm stretches and toe touches while she went to fetch it. I know it was suggested that we try to work in some squats or lunges but Mama’s knees just aren’t having any of THAT!

We also played a little Monkey in the Middle with Papa and had a quick game of Hide and Seek but you’ll have to take our word for it. The most difficult part of the challenge this week was trying to take photos while playing!  We’re having so much fun…I can’t believe we are headed into the LAST Week of K9 Kamp! I’ll be posting product reviews and giveaways featuring the KONG Flyer and adorable Rope Ring Toy featured in this week’s challenge so stay tuned for those!

Those are the highlights from our week! How did you do with Week #3 of K9 Kamp Fitness Challenge? Be sure to leave a comment and let us know! Check in on the other featured pet bloggers and add your post to the blog hop,  too!
