New Finds aka Things Worth Sharing

I’m back with another rendition of New Finds, things I see/do/read/stumble upon worth sharing. Does this post need a new name? “New Finds” is so blah!

Neon Rashguards

Mazen is a great swimmer now, but I still keep my eyes on him, especially closely when it’s crowded or he’s in water above his head. Nothing makes him easier to spot in the water than a neon rashguards! He’s so much easier to see if I look away (as he is fast!), and these are great for a crowded beach too (if he’s on the sand but is playing with other kids). If you have two kids, get them matching ones! Here are a few options I’ve found in bright colors: green // aqua // little green // orange // green

And speaking of shirts, Karen just sent Mazen this shirt with matching shorts – so cute and perfect for Bald Head! I wish I could exclusively dress him in Boden clothing!

Gentle Leader

Many of you recommended a Gentle Leader when I complained that Gus was pulling on his leash SO badly lately. Walking him is quite the physical experience. I tried carrying a pocket of treats, but that didn’t really do much. I finally bought the Gentle Leader and it’s great. While I’m still having to focus a lot to use it, it seemed to work right away. (Although getting it ON him wasn’t nearly as easy as it was for the dog in the training videos!) I am hoping I can run with it soon (I haven’t tried that yet) and also hoping it makes walking with a dog + stroller possible.

Hard Knock Wife

Have you watched Ali Wong’s Hard Knock Wife on Netflix yet? We did a few weeks ago, and I was laughing so hard. She sure nails parenting with a large helping of sarcasm! Warning: Parts of the show are quite raunchy, so watch with discretion. No children around! We haven’t watched her first show, but we plan to soon.

Bonnet Chronicles

Speaking of raunchy, Tami Roman is the hilarious woman behind @officialbonnetchronicles on Instagram. She has over 2 million followers! I laugh out load during every one of her videos (ok, a few of them are over my head.) But I loved the Memorial Day one!

Match Made In Manhattan

I finished this book, which was light-hearted and a fun read. It follows the Match.com dating life of Allison, a NYC women in her late 20s. Each chapter recaps a different date with a Match man, and there are text messages and witty emails all throughout. If you’ve ever tried a stint at online dating, you’ll get some great entertainment from this book!

Sunnies

Kohv Eyewear sent us each a pair of their sunglasses, which are very nice, polarized, and only $19.99! I would never spend $200 on a pair of glasses because I would immediately lose/scratch/drop them in a lake, so this price point is awesome. Kohv (pronounced cove) is based out of Meredith, NH and is inspired by the Lakes Region of New Hampshire where the founders grew up. He is wearing the Veerie, and I’m wearing the Bean!

On Repeat

I recently heard the Imagine Dragons song On Top Of The World when it was the theme song in one of Mazen’s camp videos. We were both humming it for days until I finally looked it up, and it’s been on repeat! The video is pretty cute too. Also on repeat: Taylor Swift Delicate!! Quote from Mazen a few weeks ago: “Mommy, why do you listen to so much Tyrell Swift?” He’s right!

Toon Blast

I am on level 682 of this addicting game!! I never played Candy Crush, but I think it has a similar “knock out blocks of the same color” concept. There are bombs, shooting arrows, and all kinds of different challenges. Yet it’s simple enough that I can sit down and play a few rounds whenever I have five minutes to kill.

That’s a wrap!

    This was a great post, thanks! I am looking at the sunnies, have subscribed to The Bonnet Chronicles and totally get the game addiction. I am really into Bubble Planet and have been stuck on the current level for over 191 days. GAH!

    glad the gentle leader is working! We used that for a while with Nala and then eventually switched to a front harness. OMG that video I was dying!!!!

    Ali Wong is hysterical. I had her on when my 72 year old Dad was around and soon realized I should watch at a later time! She is raunchy – and she gave my husbands expectations I don’t think many women would agree with, hahahaha. But maybe I’m naive!

    My husband and son went to the Imagine Dragons concert this weekend. It was his Father’s Day gift and my son’s first concert. <3

    How about "Shareables"?

    Please research the Gentle Leader for running! Everything I have ever read is how dangerous it can be for the dog!!!

      Ok. I haven’t tried it yet – will watch some tutorials! Maybe we’ll get a separate running leash?

    Love these kinds of posts and LOVE that Imagine Dragons song! That band is one of my favs! Thanks for sharing the sunglasses – I am going to check those out. I am with you re: spending serious $$ on sunglasses. I need a good pair, but not good enough to make me upset when I inevitably break or lose them! Going to check out the “Match” book too. My husband and I met on Match! Did you and T meet online? I can’t remember!

    Gentle Leader also has a chest harness which we have used for years. It is a little less intense than the face harness (our dog hated this and would drag her face in the dirt trying to get it off), but doesn’t eliminate the pulling quite as much as the face harness either. Just thought I’d mention it because it has worked very well for us.

    Just chiming in on the gentle leader! I used it for my lab for a year or so. It worked wonders while she wore it for our walks. However I never used it for running because she wasn’t able to pant properly (she would still pull a little, but not nearly as much). Also, she lunged for squirrels/rabbits and if your dog does this they can do serious damage to their head and neck. I finally ditched it because it was rubbing the fur away on her nose, poor thing!

    Now I use a balance harness: https://www.blue-9.com/pages/balance-harness/
    It doesn’t work quite as well as the gentle leader, but I don’t fret about running with my dog anymore, and all or her nose fur grew back 😉

    Hope you find what works for you and your fur-baby!

    Can’t recommend this no pull harness enough! Has worked wonders for our Lab. We now can enjoy our walks again ?https://www.amazon.com/Harness-Lead-Escape-Resistant-Reduces/dp/B00I589WIU/ref=lp_9300352011_1_1?srs=9300352011&ie=UTF8&qid=1530740344&sr=8-1
