Bedtime for Baby: Isosceles' Day

Disclosure: Many thanks to The Cadence Group for the opportunity to review this book.
Our beloved doggy is a very busy guy.  After we leave the house for school and work, he is in charge of the house.  I guess he stays pretty busy throughout the day because when we come home he's always lounging on the loveseat as if he's put in a hard day at the office.
Even though our favorite hound dog is getting older, he is always up for posing for a pic and playing in the snow.
Isosceles' Day by Kevin J. Meehan is a whimsical picture book about a big ol' dog and his tiny friend Mole.  As we read Isoceles' Day,  I pictured our doggy with a playmate like Mole.  

From being awakened by friend Mole, to a breakfast of dancing eggs, howling and grunting with Moose, time spent with Frog and Platypus, lunchtime with Lizard, playing it cool with Mouse, listening to drums with Prairie Dog, riding in a wagon with Rhino, drinking from a hose with Goose, and a lullaby with Frog, come share a fun day with Isosceles, a happy rescue dog, and his animal friends!

The kids had fun reading this book.  Isosceles' Day is an ideal read for dog lovers or those who are hoping to add a doggy to the family. 

He's been in our lives for nearly 12 years now and we can't imagine life without him.  He's a part of our family but I have to admit sometimes I wonder what kinda mischief he gets in while we are away.
Isosceles' Day is available at bookstores worldwide including Amazon, Barnes and Noble and more. 
Does your family have a family pet?

We do have a dog and I know the grandkids would love reading this book. I can only imagine what Max gets up to when he's home alone.

I was wonder what my dog does when I am not home. She is allowed to wander around the yard and in one room in the house when you're not there. This book looks like a fun one to read with the kiddos.

I have two rescue shih tzus and they are my pride and joy and am constantly using the photo opportunities they provide. I will look for this book for my brother who has 3 kids and no dog yet.

Books like this turn the kids into dog lovers if they aren't already. I think it's a wonderful bed time story and something that I appreciate.

This sounds like a fabulous book!

We do have a family pet. We have two kitties! We used to have a hamster, but sadly, he died.

This sounds like a lovely book, I love the sound of it. We do have a dog and a pair of guinea pigs as well I couldn't be without a pet.
We are a doggie family with two rescues. I am certain my kids would love this book too. It looks like a nice story.

We have two dogs and they are very ornery at times. I bet my son would love that book. I will check it out via amazon.

I love my beagle boys to pieces. I know they get in trouble when I am gone, but that is just their personality!

You have such a sweet little guard dog. I love seeing pets have such loving families and homes.

I used to wonder what my dog did all day at home when I was at work but then I got a camera. She sleeps all day! LOL!

Every little kid needs to grow up with a puppy. Dogs are the best to have around and have that extra protection in the house. Thank you for sharing!
We have three dogs and our kids are avid lovers. I know they would all appreciate this book any time if the day. Especially bed time.

My daughter would love this book! We have two furry friends in our home, and one outside. I am sure she likes to pretend they all have elaborate lives when we aren't home.

Both of my girls would absolutely love this book! They are both completely animal obsessed!
We don't have a pet yet. I would love to get a dog soon though.

Maple and Brown Sugar Air Fryer Bacon

I've been raving about my Instant Pot but now I have a new favorite... the Air Fryer.   O M G This thing is amazing!  I don't know why I was so late to the Air Fryer craze but I am so glad I am finally onboard.   I've been talking about getting one and then after my aunt posted pics of her new air fryer, that was it off to Best Buy I went.   I wasn't sure how big of a unit I would need but I figured the 2.5 liter would suffice.  I chose the Chefman Express.  It was priced on the shelves for $85 but online for $75.99 and my local store matched the price AND I had my Swagbucks Best Buy QR code so I got 500 SBs + 2 SBs for every dollar spent so that's another 170 SBs.  So, after discounts, my air fryer ended up costing me less than the sale price.  Woohoo! There were some fancy ones on the shelves with digital display but after checking the reviews I figured since I don't fry much this model would suffice. When I think of fried foods, I think

Here’s your chance to start the new year off with a win. One lucky Three Boys and an Old Lady blog reader will receive a $15 Walmart eGift card. $10 may not seem like a lot but it’s enough to stock up on some last minute Christmas clearance gifts. Trust me. I bought a 6’ Christmas tree WITH lights, 2 animal massagers, 3 Jelly Belly BeanBoozled Jelly Beans Mystery Bean Dispenser, Christmas cards and wrapping paper less than $20 during an after Christmas Walmart shopping trip. I was searching for some cough syrup when my friend’s kid spotted the Jelly Belly BeanBoozled Jelly Beans Mystery Bean Dispenser on sale for 50 cents. What a steal! The regular price is $10 so to find them on sale for 50 cents was a deal. We cleared the shelves. A few rows down we spotted some anima

A Pit Stop at Sho Nuff Hot Tamales in Greenville, Mississippi

My cousin and I were driving along and our tummies were rumbling as we crossed the Mississippi state line on US-82.  We didn't really have any particular dish in mind for lunch but we started seeing signs saying "Hot Tamales". "Hot Tamales", my Philly cousin asked. "Yep", I replied nonchalantly.  "I remember reading something about hot tamales being a big thing here in the Delta."   We kept driving and finally decided we would have to try these famous Mississippi Delta hot tamales. Now to decide which one.  There were literally dozens of tamale spots.  We happened upon a restaurant called Sho-Nuff and decided it was the one. We parked and entered the large, delightfully decorated restaurant.  The wall was plastered with local and national awards in recognition of those hot tamales.   There was a sign touting Sho-Nuff as the winner of the local newspaper's favorite restaurant award and 3rd place winner in the annual  Delta Hot Ta
