VOLUNTEER IN YOUR COMMUNITY

Are you looking for a meaningful way to contribute to your community this holiday season but don’t know where to volunteer? Volunteer solutions can help. You can search by using your zip code or your county and find where your help is needed. The opportunities range from serving holiday meals to helping the elderly with their tax returns. There is something for everyone to participate in, youth and adults alike. Helping others is a way to give and the only cost is your time. Take a look at what you can do to make someone else’s holiday better.

IT'S THAT TIME OF YEAR

Finding a place to store all the garden and lawn tools you used all summer can be frustrating. It just might be an incentive to build your own garden tool shed. Imagine a place to hang your small tools and stand up your rakes and hoes, and you will know right where they are when spring arrives. Visit the extreme how to site for a comprehensive plan on building your own garden tool shed. It gives you a complete materials list and step by step instructions (including pictures for those who don’t think they need to read instructions). It will help get more organized and save you the frustration of looking high and low for those items when you need them.

A WORD FROM GARCIA

I like to run into work every morning and get my morning dog biscuit. However, I wants to remind all pet owners the dangers of feeding your dog human food. Most humans know that chocolate and onions are really bad for their dogs. A more extensive list of foods that can cause digestive problems for your four legged friends can be found at dog-care suite. As much as we like people food – it can be really unhealthy for us. Please don’t feed us food that we shouldn’t have, even when we look at you with our adorable puppy eyes.

A Homemade Treat for Your Dog
Peanut Butter Pooch Cookies

21/2 cups whole wheat flour
¼ cup white flour
¼ cup oatmeal
11/4 Tbsp baking powder
1 Tbsp honey
1 cup peanut butter
1 cup milk

Combine flour, oatmeal, and baking powder. Combine milk, peanut butter, and honey in a separate bowl and mix well. Stir peanut butter mixture into flour/oatmeal mixture. Knead dough and roll-out on floured surface to a quarter inch thickness. Cut out treats using a cookie cutter. Place aluminum foil on cookie sheet and bake in a 400 degree oven for approximately 15 minutes.
