Walmart is working with Feeding America and ten of the most recognizable food companies in America this spring to launch the third chapter of the Fighting Hunger Together initiative. Vote and volunteer to fight hunger this spring with Walmart. This time they will be focusing on reducing hunger across the country. According to the USDA, more than 50 million Americans live in food insecure households, and more than 16 million of those impacted are children. That is a staggering number!

A Great Day to be a Dog {+personalized dog bowl tutorial} #iLoveMyK9

I introduced you to our dog, Baxter, a couple of weeks ago.
He is such a good dog!  He is perfect for our family!
So we decided that we needed to pamper our favorite pooch!
There are 3 things you should know about Baxter.
He LOVES to eat, LOVES to play & LOVES be loved on! 
So pampering him is easy!

Baxter’s favorite treat is Milk Bones.  He LOVES them.
So I headed to Walmart to pick up some more Milk Bone treats
& other fun things to pamper our most favorite pooch!

  

When I got to Walmart I saw some new treats for Baxter to try out.
I got some Milk Bone Trail Mix, Pup-Peroni Mix Stix and Milo’s Kitchen Homestyle Treats.
{You can check out my entire doggy shopping trip over on google+.}
