This is my brother's girlfriend's cat – she is a sweetie pie, but when she first moved into our house, it was a bit stressful for her. But a "bit" – I mean she moved into a house with a dog and a toddler. Scary stuff, am I right? She was having some bad behavior issues – which were to be expected. But we used the Comfort Zone® with Feliway® – which is a diffuser that spreads around some pheromones that calm cats to keep them relaxed. It works great weather the problem is a multiple cat household, new pets, kids, or just lots of holiday guests. Plug the diffuser in wherever your cat spends most of it's time each day – and be amazed at the improvement in attitude and behavior.

My little guy, Deuce, is about two years old now – just a little younger than Abby is. We got him when she was just a baby – they've grown up together, sharing toys, playing, and are bestest buddies. So he's definitely a very important part of our little family! But, when we moved to this new house, my mom moved in with us too. She had 5 other little dogs – Deuce loved them, but I think it stressed him out a bit. He stopped peeing outside, starting making big messes inside, started barking and whining anytime I wasn't home. *Sigh* So we tried the Comfort Zone® with D.A.P.® {Dog Appeasing Pheremone} that plugs right into your wall. It's perfect for when pet's need some comforting – anytime their environment changes, like with the extra visitors during the holidays.

How to choose a wine like you choose music on Pandora…
How do you find the best wine? You could read reviews, but who says that those critics writing the reviews have the same taste as you do? They might hate a wine, give it a terrible rating – but it might end up being your absolute favorite. My friends and I all have very different tastes in wine… When we went on a wine tour last winter, at almost every stop we all had totally, crazily different opinions on which ones rocked, and which ones we did not want to try again. And I’m sure I’m not the only one who finds phrases like, “smooth finish,” or “hints of plum,” to not really be all that helpful, right? So, how do you find not just the BEST wine – but the best wine for YOU?

Do You Support Shopping Small? #SmallBizSat
What does shopping local mean to you? To me, it means supporting other families right here in my community. It means valuing relationships and quality over low prices and bad service. And especially at this time of year, it means giving other moms in business a boost to help their own holiday spending. That’s why I am such a supporter of Small Business Saturday, coming up on November 24th.
My plan for Small Business Saturday had been to shop a little bit further than local – we wanted to head over the mountains, and do some shopping with the amazing small vendors at Seattle’s Pike Place Market. They have a Magic in the Market holiday event on the 24th, with tree lighting and a visit from Santa – and I thought it would be a great way to kick off some more unique and personal holiday gift shopping. But, the weather seems to taking a turn for the worse, and the passes have been being closed often, so we’re switching gears to shop locally here in town. We’ll start by getting coffee and muffins at this amazing little restaurant that’s just up the road, and owned by one of my neighbors. Then we’ll hit a few of the great holiday craft bazaars in Yakima, before heading to Glenmore Square, a great little shopping mall filled with small boutiques with local ownership. I truly believe that the difference in service you get when shopping stores owned by your friends and neighbors – versus your local Walmart – are worth the small increase I might pay in price. And if I ever have a problem with a purchase – they’ll always do what it takes to make it right. How often can you say that about the big box guys?
Between Black Friday and Cyber Monday is a day dedicated to supporting small businesses nationwide. Last year, over one hundred million people came together to Shop Small in their communities on Small Business Saturday – will you be one of them this year too? Or – are you a small business owner yourself? You know that I’m a big supporter of women in business! If that describes you, use the online tools and resources available from American Express to promote your small business and rally your community!
