Get a puppy they said. You’ll be so happy with a puppy. A puppy is great companionship. Look AT THIS puppy! Everyone needs a puppy! So, I got a puppy. Did I think this through? NO. I. Did. NOT!! It’s All And Good With The Puppy UNTIL… Reality kicks in. Puppies need many, many, many (I’m so TIRED!) trips outside for potty breaks. Even in the middle of the night. On the mountain. Where it’s DARK! Like NO LIGHTS anywhere, really DARK mountain! It’s quiet, except for that crunching noise. Is that a footfall? Is that something big coming through the tree’s? YES, I AM A WIMP! I’m telling you it’s SCARY at 2a.m on the mountain. NOW! Would YOU Like To See WHAT I SEE In The Dark?! Their out there. I know they are! I can feel them staring at me. I Need A FLASHLIGHT At Night Except, I have a squirmy 3 month old puppy in my arms. (just kidding, Walter now weighs in at 39.8 pounds! There is no carrying this pup!) I’m dragging this pup outside, fast, fast, fast so we don’t have a accident before we hit the dirt. It’s the middle of the…

I Need A Maid, I’ll Settle For A Roll Of Tear-Away Microfiber Cloth Let’s be real: I’ve spent a significant portion of my life waiting for a fairy godmother to show up with a vacuum and a sassy attitude. Since she’s clearly stuck in traffic, I’ve had to take matters into my own hands. My latest obsession? The FantastiCLEAN Tear-Away Microfiber Cloth Roll. If you’re still using paper towels to chase dust bunnies around your living room, we need to have a little chat. It’s time to upgrade your home cleaning service (which is currently just you in pajamas) with something that actually works. Why FantastiCLEAN Microfiber is the New “Black” of Cleaning Microfiber isn’t just a buzzword; it’s basically a magnet for the “gunk” of daily life. Whether it’s mystery juice on the counter or the layer of dust on the TV that’s staring you down, these cloths handle it. The “Tear-Away” Magic: Like Paper Towels, But Better Additionally, the genius of the FantastiCLEAN roll is the perforation. You get the convenience of a paper towel roll—just grab, snap, and go—but with the industrial-strength power of professional microfiber. Getting Your Shine On! Pro Tip: Keep a roll in the…

If you’re looking for the ultimate rocking chair for mountain living, you’ve come to the right place because, as y’all know, I am not a very good gardener! Lord knows, I try! But I’ve realized that the secret to enjoying “mountain living” isn’t actually about having a green thumb—it’s about having the perfect place to sit and enjoy the view while someone else does the weeding. Wouldn’t that be amazing? My mountain living wish list currently includes: But since I’m still doing the yard cleanup myself, I at least have my new chair… Anyway, after 2 weeks of yard clean up, (with at least 2 weeks left to do!) I’ve finally found the missing piece to my garden puzzle: a proper Greenvines rocking chair. Living up here, I had a specific vision: me, a glass of wine, (Maybe marshmallow vodka, I’m not picky) and a rhythmic creak-creak-creak while I wait for the wildflowers to bloom and the deer to wander through the yard. Of course, the reality usually involves Walter, my 3-month-old puppy, running around like a possessed fluff-ball, but hey—at least I’m comfortable while I watch the chaos! Why Greenvines is a Mountain Essential I’ve teamed up with Greenvines…

Walter’s Puppy Guide to Not Melting: Introducing The Magic Blue Rectangle Listen up, fellow furball friends. Walter here, your resident 14-week-old puppy correspondent with another installment of Puppy Survival. I’m ready to help you prepare for the upcoming summer heat. Summer means that big bright yellow thing in the sky starts beating down on us like there is a giant magnifying glass aimed right at our permanent fur coat. Yes, technically, you could just stretch out on the kitchen floor, moving every 10 minutes for a cooler spot. However, let’s discuss real puppy comfort. I don’t mean that fluffy bed—although that topic is coming soon. I’m talking about the fact that we are wearing fur. I don’t know about you and your coat, but, I’m a fluffy 14-week-old puppy, my undercoat is dense, trust me, I look like a sentient marshmallow. It’s not even summer yet and this puppy is hot. Then, my favorite Amazon guy (the cookie bringer) arrived with the Pressure-Activated Gel, Furrybaby Pet Cooling Mat, and my life has changed. With summer quickly approaching, I’ve found a life-saver. (Mom mentioned something about “hot flash relief,” and while I’m not sure what that is, I have no intention…
