Most of us are throughly enjoying the spring season. The dazzling sunshine and luscious landscapes help to renew us. Not only do we enjoy spring, but our pets reap the enjoyment of the season as well. I have noticed my two furry friends are beginning to spend more time outdoors. When Dad and I go to the front porch to enjoy the fresh air and landscape, both our dogs insist on joining us.
Since our furry friends are now spending more time outdoors, thought I'd provide a few pet owners reminders.
* Warm weather is wonderful, but with it comes the need to protect our furry friends from the pesky fleas and ticks. I use Frontline for flea and tick prevention on my dogs. Be sure to consult with your vet on the right product for your pet.
* Annual exams and shots are very important to keep our pets healthy. Check with your vet or pets records to determine due date for exams and shots.
* Heartworms can be a serious and fatal problem for pets. Be proactive and use heartworm prevention medicine to keep your pet healthy. If you do not have your pet on heartworm prevention medicine, then schedule a visit with your vet.
There is no doubt our furry friends are a big part of our family and lives. We love to be reminded of our pets. You can find some wonderful cat lover gifts and dog lover gifts at Great Finds For You. If you have a friend or loved one who is a pet owner or enjoys animals, then animal themed gifts make wonderful gifts for them.
Have a blessed and enjoyable day!
Cheers,

I have been away from blogging the past couple of weeks due to some family health issues. It is good to be back. Since my last post, I have added more webpages to the website. Two of these pages are devoted to the animal lover…Cat Lover Gifts and Dog Lover Gifts.
If you have someone on your gift list that has a cat or dog, then these gifts are reminders of their beloved furry friend and will truly touch their heart. You will find a variety of gift selections on these pages, which should offer something that appeals to almost any animal lover. Cat Lover Gifts and Dog Lover Gifts are a popular category for gift giving. Many people love animals, but due to lifestyles are unable to have their own pets. If you know someone who falls in this category, then consider giving an animal themed gift.
Another webpage added was Cookie Gifts. Cookies make a wonderful gift for giving. The wonderful taste of a cookie takes us back to our childhood. Both children and adults love cookies! They are easy to eat, often offer fewer calories than other heavier sweets such as cakes and there are a variety of selections from which to choose… making it easy to appease almost anyone's sweet appetite.
Received this week a very special offer for my Great Finds For You readers. The website Coco Cesca Collection has graciously offered a coupon for the Great Finds For You readers enabling you to receive 50 percent off your order. The coupon code is 50GREATFINDS. Coco Cesca offers a wonderful selection of apparel, handbags, jewelry, accessories and home décor. You will find the Coco Cesca Collection to be fun and colorful with easy mix and match possibilities. With a 50 percent savings, this is a great way to spruce up your spring wardrobe.
Have a blessed and enjoyable day!

There is no better way to help bring the specialness of the Easter season into our homes than by adding Easter lilies to our home's décor. The Easter lily is absolutely beautiful! They are simple and classic, but make a stunning and captivating presentation when placed in a focal area of the home; such as on each side of the dining buffet or perhaps as accent display on a sofa table.
Innocence and purity captures the essence of this flower, which helps renew within us a special feeling of hope and life, which is the heart and purpose of Easter. However, it is important for cat owners to know that the Easter lily contains toxins that can cause severe kidney damage in cats.
Another safety reminder for the Easter season is that chocolate contains theobromine, which is toxic to cats and dogs. So be sure Easter baskets are well guarded from pets if they contain chocolate candy. If you have pets and children you might also consider stocking Easter baskets with candies other than chocolate. Children often love to share their treats with their furry friend. You can find a huge selection of candies in today's market that can easily appease a child's "sweet" appetite.
If you're a person of faith, share your faith this Easter and invite a friend to Easter worship service.
Have a blessed Easter!
Cheers,

Yesterday as I was doing some work on the website, I happened to open up the holidays page. This page contains favorite gifts for holiday giving. The item that captured my attention was a dolphin jewelry pendant. The pendant is truly beautiful. There is a special love and attraction that many of us have for dolphins.
I can recall many years ago when I visited Marineland of Florida. What a wonderful trip this was for me. I truly loved the dolphin show. The dolphins seemed to love the crowd, as much as we loved them. It was as though they were dancing on the water with a huge smile on their face!
If you're looking for a special jewelry gift this Valentine's Day, then consider this timeless dolphin jewelry pendant. Two dolphins form a heart and create a cherished piece of jewelry. A true representation of sharing your heart, which would make the perfect gift for that special someone.
Marineland of Florida or Sea World would, without doubt, make a wonderful family gift! Vacations are so important to help us in renewing our minds and bodies and enabling us to enjoy quality family time.
Have a blessed day!

I once heard someone make the comment that Valentine's Day was nothing to them…it was just like any other day. For me Valentine's Day affords a wonderful opportunity to show family and friends how much we love them and what they mean to us.
The classic gifts are: gift of flowers, gift of sweets, gift of fragrance and the gift of jewelry. These do indeed make wonderful gifts for almost anyone. These are gifts that will be well loved and cherished. Often times, recipients of these gifts fondly look forward to receiving them.
Many times throughout the years our lives have a way of drifting off onto a rugged path. When we become consumed in our work, family life becomes less of a priority and our faith suffers. Valentine's Day can help us shift our focus back to that which is most important in our lives such as family, friend and faith. This one-day is all about expressing our love to others.
Whether we lavish our loved ones with a exquisite gift that will be sure to bring a warm smile and a sparkle to their eyes or pickup the phone and call them to let them how much they mean to us…it is a Day that will be remembered fondly in the coming weeks by those dear to our lives.
If you're a person of faith, embrace your faith and extend a helping hand to others who have needs in their lives. Share your faith with a friend. Valentine's Day makes for a great opportunity to reach out to others. Expressing your love to others is what makes Valentine's Day special.
May this Valentine's Day be truly special for you and your family.
Cheers,

It is hard to believe that January will soon be over. Time certainly has a way of slipping by. I've spent a chuck of my time lately reviewing accounting software. Finally settled on the best resource to meet my needs. Not my favorite means of passing time but was certainly necessary.
This seems to be the case in many circumstances. There are certain things we need to accomplish, which do not lie within our scope of interest or even at times we may carry a dislike for doing a particular thing. Something I do when there is a difficult or disliked task I need to accomplish is to award myself. After I accomplish my task, I treat myself to something that brings delight.
Below are a few things, which bring me delight and some of them might make great award treats for you.
1. Take time to cuddle up with a good book and a warm cup of tea.
2. Watch a DVD movie that you've been longing to view, but never got around to. (Inviting a friend over to share the movie makes it even better!)
3. Visit blogger friends blogs…this is a wonderful way to fellowship!
4. Spend time chatting on the phone with an old friend or family member.
5. Pamper yourself with some shopping…online shopping works best for me.
These are just a few ideas, which you can do without leaving your house and thoroughly enjoy. Having something to look forward to after a difficult task is completed helps provide inspiration and motivation.
Have a blessed day!
Cheers,
Gin

I've been a little sleepy throughout the day. It is an overcast day with slightly windy conditions. Thinking about fixing myself a hot cup of my favorite tea and then put on a favorite movie or perhaps read a treasured book as I enjoy my tea. My most treasured book is the Bible. I also enjoy reading heart-warming, inspirational books, such as Chicken Soup For the Soul books.
When it comes to movies, it becomes much more difficult for me to decide on a favorite. One of my most favorite movies is "Hoosiers". I've seen it numerous times and each time I thoroughly enjoy the cherished story of a small town Indiana High School basketball team that wins the coveted State Championship title. Perhaps my favorite part in the movie was when Coach Dale told the team "I don't care what the scoreboard says at the end of the game, in my book we're gonna be winners." What a wonderful way to inspire his players.
Watching a movie together is a great way for a family to bond. If you find the kids continually occupied with using the computer or cell phone, or perhaps it may be your own schedule that has taken away from spending time with the family… then set aside time for a family movie night. Before the movie starts have some snacks prepared or call-out for pizza delivery. You might just find that the family movie night becomes a weekly-anticipated event that is much enjoyed.
Have a blessed and enjoyable day!
Cheers,
Gin
