Fostering A Rescue Dog

I have never really liked dogs.  I'm a cat girl through and through.

But we recently decided we would foster a puppy through a local rescue group that my friend helps run.  Mainly we did this to see if having a dog would be a good fit for our family...especially Samuel. He has wanted one for a long time now.  And since he struggles sometimes with confidence and getting down a lot, we thought a puppy might really help him!

All the kids have been begging for a dog for awhile now.

So one day we went to see this little guy... 

And brought him home! 

His name is Hunter and he is some sort of mix between lab, australian shepherd, 

and probably some boston terrier. 

His mama was hit by a car and her litter of puppies stayed with her trying to nurse 

until someone rescued them. 

We surprised the kids after schoool, and they were shocked and excited! 

And then my sweet husband left the next day for a 3 day work trip. 

Did I mention I'm not really a dog person?  And I have 4 kids! 

He did pretty well though.   

Hunter is about 4 months old so was already crate trained about mostly potty trained.  

He of course is by my side constantly because I'm the one who mostly takes care of him. 

Again, did I mention I'm not really a dog person?:) 

He is growing on me though.  

He's smart and mostly sweet. 

The thing that wears me out is the potty training.

I thought I was DONE with that after I trained Annie!

Our neighborhood has this awesome nature trail with a dog run on it. 

So we took him one day recently and he had a blast playing with two other dogs 

in the large fenced area.  

We don't have a huge backyard and it's not fenced in so this is a great thing to have access to! 

I have to admit this face is hard not to love. 

We will see what the future holds...but my kids are definitely vying for making 

him part of our family forever! 

Favorite Rodan + Fields Beauty Products

I started using Rodan + Fields skin care about 2 years ago to target my adult hormonal acne.

After years and years of trying everything (literally everything) on the market from accutane (TWICE), antibiotics, topical creams, different washes, proactiv, birth control, etc...I was desperate for something to truly help without damaging my aging skin.  I mean who wants acne and wrinkles? NO ONE.

So after about a year of thinking about it, I finally made the order.  The biggest concern I had was the cost.  Rodan + Fields is expensive because it is premium skin care.  I had confidence in ordering though because they offered a 60 day money back guarantee so I figured I had nothing to lose!

Well it worked so amazingly for me!  It took about 3 months, but Unblemish cleared my skin up so well that I even took a picture of myself without makeup on:)!  

After about 14 months of using this amazing product, I decided to sign up as a consultant to save more money and to even possibly make some money on the side!

I have loved every single Rodan + Fields product I've tried over the last few months.  

And I am loving this biz so much...making extra income and reaching my goals! 

Some of my favorite products have been: 

EYE CREAM

This little magic bottlesdoes wonders for crows feet, fine lines, dark circles, and puffiness. 

It also lasts 4- 6 months! 

FOAMING SUNLESS TANNER

I was always too scared to try tanner but I knew I could trust R+F! 

the tanner works really well with our micro-dermabrasian paste! 

This stuff is amazing and I am loving my safe tan! 

these are my personal results after one application! 

REDEFINE REGIMEN + AMP ROLLER

Did you know when you turn 30, you begin losing collagen in your skin?

This regimen targets our aging skin, large pores, and just gives you an overall glow.

The amp roller is a powerful little tool that helps stimulate collagen production which fights those fine lines! 

This is seriosuly a must have combination and I LOVE being able to use these products in conjuntion with my Unblemish.  Finally, I can target my aging skin!

I got this picture from my friend and customer who is LOVING Redefine and has seen some incredible results! 

If you have been thinking about trying any of the Rodan + Fields products, I would highly recommend them!  I would never promote something I don't beleive in!  These products work.  In fact my most recent text from a friend who is one week in to using Redefine, told me excitedly "This stuff is LEGIT!".  Makes me so happy! I LOVE helping people with their skin concerns!  

If you're interested leave me a comment with your email and I will be in touch.  I will have several awesome promotions in April going on!  Also, there is a link to my website on the right sidebar of this blog:).
