Painting With a Twist~ Review

Today me and my family had the pleasure of going to Painting with a Twist in Fenton, MI. We did a family event "Neon Snowman" and me, my husband, and three kids all painted. I was a little nervous at first taking my 4 year old to paint, but he actually did good. The ladies there were all super nice and helped out when we needed. Do not worry if you are not a painter, none of us are! The instructor walks you through how to paint your painting step by step. We even took our German exchange student with us and she enjoyed it as well. This is something we would love to do again. You can bring in your own drinks and snacks, and there are also beverages (wine, beer, and hard cider) there for sale. They offer private parties, couples paintings, birthday parties and more. Check out the website here: Painting with a Twist and see all of the upcoming events.
Here are some photos from our painting class

Taking our seats and waiting to start. (My son was not happy he had to wait a minute to start painting so he would not look at me.)

Step 1~ Painting the blue background.

Step 2- Adding the ground colors.

Planes Fire and Rescue~ Race to the Rescue!!

Planes Fire and Rescue came out in theaters on Friday July 18th!

If you have not had the chance to go see the new Planes movie, it is a must see. It was not only enjoyable for my three children, but the adults as well. There is funny and sentimental parts as well as all around entertainment.  Disney is great at making it fun and enjoyable for kids as well as the adults. 

"Planes Fire and Rescue is a new comedy-adventure about second chances, featuring a dynamic crew of elite firefighting aircrafts devoted to protecting historic Piston Peak National Park from a raging wildfire. Dusty the famous air racer learns that his engine is damaged and he may never race again, so he shifts gears into the world of aerial firefighting."

ALL NEW~ Feed and Go! Pre-order today for 20% off!

          

Watch, Talk To and Feed Fido and Fluffy From Anywhere at Any Time with Feed and                                                Go’s New Automated Pet Feeder

Automated feeder revolutionizes the way pets are fed and cared for while pet parents are away

MARINA DEL REY, Calif. (Oct. 07, 2013) – More than 99 percent of pet parents consider their pets to be family members, so it’s no surprise that they’re constantly worried about their pets’ wellbeing when they’re away from home. One company is now employing innovative technology to help pet parents gain some peace of mind while on the go.

Today, Feed and Go announced the launch of its revolutionary automated pet feeder and online website portal. Unlike other automated feeders, Feed and Go provides pet parents with complete, remote control over their pets’ feeding and medication schedules and is the world’s first automated feeder to include a live webcam, enabling pet owners to check in on their pet at anytime from anywhere.

“Feed and Go understands that a pet parent’s No. 1 priority is ensuring their pets are happy and healthy while they’re away,” said Marissa McDaniel, CEO of Feed and Go. “Through the use of advanced technology, we’re able to not only help pet parents keep their pets on their normal routines, but also keep them intimately connected to their furry family members while away from home.”

Feed and Go’s automated pet feeder connects via Wi-Fi and can be controlled through any computer, tablet or smartphone, as well as a convenient iOS and Android app for mobile programming and webcam streaming. Pet parents can choose to receive notifications to themselves and multiple others via SMS or email each time the feeder dispenses food or medication. In addition to the live webcam, Feed and Go’s automated pet feeder also includes a built-in voice recording system so pet parents can call their pet over to the bowl at any time.

Feed and Go’s automated pet feeder can be used with both wet and dry food and features six, 8 oz. cup size feeding trays that when not on display are kept airtight to keep food and any medications fresh until dispensed to the pet. The automated feeder is made of polypropylene plastic so it won’t irritate a pet’s skin and is also dishwasher safe.

Feed and Go allows pet parents to set one-off feeds or a recurring feeding schedule, or a combination of both, and for those lucky enough to be parents to more than one pet, the Feed and Go customer console allows for multiple pet feeders to be controlled from one login.

The company is currently accepting pre-orders on its website with a special discount of 20 percent or more (purchasing multiple units results in a deeper discount). Pricing is varied to include web access to the Feed and Go online portal or via a monthly payment along with the purchase of the unit.

About Feed and Go

Feed and Go Inc. was founded in 2011 in Los Angeles. The company’s goal is to use technology to create convenient solutions that promote interaction between pets and their owners.

My most recent company I joined is Pampered Chef. Just a few months ago I took the leap because I had hosted several parties, found it easy to sell and LOVE the product. Who cant use some great new kitchen gadgets? So for just $80 I joined. This company takes care of their consultants. I get incentives monthly just for submitting 2 parties, that is just $300 in sales. AND they offer great trip incentives. This is by far the easiest of the 3 companies to sell because it is well known and everyone loves it. Guess what? For just a few more days you can earn your kit for FREE! Check out my site here: http://www.pamperedchef.biz/mbriggs and see all of the great new products or join my team today.

I have had my ups and downs with each company, no one is perfect. But I think being in direct sales requires drive, time, a great upline leader and mentor, and dedication. 

Falcon Camp

Fun for Now, Skills for Life   Widely recognized throughout the Midwest as Ohio's premier summer camp since 1959, Falcon Camp offers a beautiful lakefront setting, talented experienced staff, and a wide range of activities. "Fun for Now, Skills for Life" is not just a catchy motto but truly defines what Falcon is about.

Camp is designed for boys and girls ages 6 – 16 in 2,4,6 or 8 week sessions. Each day campers choose their own schedule within a general framework. Daily activities are separate for boys and girls with planned coed events. Riding, sailing, swimming, riflery, crafts, tennis, drama, archery, mountain biking and so many more activities are offered. Instruction from beginner to advanced is offered in each activity.

We have a strong reputation for making sure a camper’s first overnight experience is very positive. Our non-competitive environment is inviting to campers who may be hesitant to try something they have never done before, while our awards system challenges our most experienced campers. The 1:4 staff/camper ratio allows individual instruction and attention. Most of all it’s great fun!

Falcon also has a special Young Adventure program for campers ages 6 -9. These one week intro sessions are designed for first time campers. ACA accredited, many NE Ohio references are available along with campers from all over the United States and the world. Being so close to several major cities allows families to visit beforehand, meet staff and feel “at home” prior to attending. Falcon is an outstanding opportunity for fun and learning.

A summer at Falcon is a special experience where good things happen by design. Visit our website, www.falconcamp.com, call 800/837-CAMP or email Info@FalconCamp.com for more information. Located on Leesville Lake in Carrollton, Ohio.
