Summer Bucket List: Lake Tobias Wildlife Park


So this summer, in an effort to save money, my boyfriend and I decided to take day trips as often as we can and see things locally or atleast within PA.  This way we save money but still get to see cool stuff and experience awesome things.  So we made a bucket list of things we want to do and places we want to go.  Some of those things are:
Phillies Game
Senators Game
Mini Golf
Grand Canyon of PA
Indian Echo Caverns
Penns Cave
Hersheypark (He's never been there as he's not from PA originally)
And lots more.
Me touching a Watoosie I think!

This weekend:
Lake Tobias Wildlife Park.  Lake Tobias Wildlife Park was started many many years ago by a man named JR Tobias.  He passed away in 1996 and his wife and their 7 kids and 1 grandkid run the park now.  Actually his wife lives in the park.  Her house was there and it was awesome that she was right in the middle of everything!  Can you imagine waking up in the morning and going for a stroll in your huge wildlife sanctuary containing all sorts of exotic animals including lions, tigers, AND bears!!??  That is like my dream come true. Honestly!


We woke up at 8am, showered, and got ready to leave.  It is in Halifax, PA which is only about an hour drive from where we live.  Since it opened at 10am we were some of the first people there which was awesome.  We started our day with the wildlife safari tour which is a bus ride through the park where you can actually reach out and touch certain animals.  They come right up, probably because they know food will be thrown out for them.  It was very educational.  We saw a bunch of herd animals like Bison, Buffalo, Watoosie, and even Emu and Rhea!!   I was super stoked because I got to touch a bunch of the cattle and they were very sweet.  It was really entertaining too when they tried to get into the bus with us!


We shared a moment!

After our safari tour we began to go through the walk about zoo.  We saw monkeys, and exotic birds, lions, tigers, bears, zebra, and some other crazy creatures!  I was obsessed with the lions! Lions are my favorite animals ever!!  I also loved the zebra because they let me pet them!!



The camels were awesome as well and we went through a little petting zoo. The poor animals seemed so lazy, fat, and stuffed from being fed, lol.  Then there was a reptile house and that was totally cool I even got to touch an alligator!!


After about 3 1/2 hours we headed home.  Since we live by the Appalachian Trail we decided to walk it for about a mile so we did and it was super fun then Saturday night we went to see Snow White and the Huntsmen.  Great movie!!!

Loved this weekend and it was just the start of many great ones!!

A Great Summer Tote

Monday, June 4, 2012


The Melie Bianco Multi Colored Woven Tote is great for summer. With all the colors, it goes with many outfits and it is big enough to fit all of your things.  The best part is the zipper closure so that it protects all the goodies inside so that if it tips while at a BBQ, nothing falls out! You can pick this bag up at Silvia's Handbags!

Boottique Review & *Giveaway* Ends 6/11


Boottique is what every show lover needs in their life!! It’s a Boot Hanger Company with all kinds of amazing products to help make your life with boots more easy and fun!  It’s an easier way to store and care for your boots.  After all, they are investments with the expensive price we usually pay for them right?






Well, I received a Boot Hanger, a Boot Bag, and 3 sets of Bootpourri!  I love this! It freed up so much space on the floor in my closet for my regular shoes and sandals.  I hung the boots on the hanger and in the bag and I attached the Bootpourri inside and wow did it smell great, vanilla to be exact!  It is a great way to make it easier to find my boots, keep them clean, dust-free, and also they hang nicely in my closet.  I actually use them to divide sections of my closet now! Brilliant!!

It was so easy (and fun) to use these.  And Boottique is giving one lucky winner a full Boot Care Kit which includes: 3 Boot Hangers, 3 Boot Bags, and 3 sets of Bootpourri.  It’s a $56 value!!

Bergan Pet Carrier Review

Sunday, June 3, 2012


I remember when life was simple when I only had one dog.  But now with 4, I am always worried about their safety and finding an easy way to transport all 4 of them when we travel.  So pet safety is obviously a big concern.  One dog is a big enough distraction in a moving vehicle, so when I learned that Rocky hates dog carriers and car seats, I was worried.  All he did was scratch until he unzipped the one I first put him in! Well, that’s when I found Bergan, a company that offers quality products for your pet that help make life more easy and enjoyable for pet AND owner.


I received a Signature Series Comfort Carrier from Bergan.  This is a very helpful carrier for me mainly because of The Hyper Paw Barrier that it comes with.  This actually makes it so I don’t have to worry about Rocky escaping because it protects the zipper from digging paws.  He can’t get out!! And I don’t have to crane my neck around to check on him!!



It was very easy to put him in this, as the one side opens entirely from top to bottom,  The other side opens on the top half which is nice because it gives him a little window to poke his head out as I carry him to our destination. 





The washable fleece interior helps make it more comfortable for my little man to relax while on a ride.  And of course the Safety Belt Loops secure the carrier to the seatbelt.  ALWAYS BUCKLE YOUR PETS IN!!! 

I also loved the added touch of a little design on the one side of the carrier, and the blue color was perfect for my little guy!!

Do you know of a natural way to prevent flea's on dogs? I am into natural products, rather than over the counter type.

Dear Robyn:
I used PetArmor on my dogs last year and they had no problems.  You can also speak to your vet about it.  Good luck!
