Petco Amazing Aquatic Event February 22nd!!!!

Adventures of Piglet Scooter received no compensation for this post. This post is being shared with readers for information purposes only.

Petco Amazing Aquatic Event Feb. 22nd

from

10am-2pm

Bring your kids ages 6-12 to

this fun event!!!

Betta fish tend to be a bit misunderstood because they are known to be a “fighting” fish.

In reality, these Southeast Asia natives are low-maintenance pets that show off their individual personalities through their vibrant colors and friendly gestures.

On February 22, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., children 6- to 12-years-old are invited to Petco’s Amazing Aquatics Event to learn about the amazing lives of Betta fish and how they make great first pets for kids.

Below are some insightful myth busters about fish that prove Bettas make great pets for kids and adults, alike.

•    Myth #1: Fish need a lot of room to swim. Bettas may actually do better in a smaller bowl because they don’t like a current. They like stagnant water because their natural habitat is living in puddles in rice paddies.
•    Myth #2: Fish cannot breath oxygen. This is true for most fish, but Bettas have elaborate gills that allow them to breath oxygen, which is why they can be kept in smaller habitats. They can gulp air rather use their gills because they are labyrinth fish, which also helps them survive in dirty puddles.
•    Myth #3: Some fish cannot be kept with other fish in the same tank. Keeping more than one Betta in a fish tank should be avoided, but Bettas can actually be in the same tank with nonaggressive fish such as swords, platies, mollies and guppies.
•    Myth #4: Fish cannot be trained. Betta’s are smarter than you think! With proper training, Bettas can be trained to jump out of the water, flare on command, and even swim through a hoop.
•    Myth #5: Fish floating on their side is never a good thing. Not for Bettas! Bettas will often float on their side and lay motionless at times because they are native to puddles. In fact, they can even survive without water for short periods of time.
•    Myth #6: Fish require frequent tank cleanings. Some fish need fresh water more often than others. Bettas only need about 25-50 percent of new, fresh water added to its tank every week or so.
•    Myth #7: Goldfish are the perfect “starter” fish. Actually, Bettas are known to be the best kinds of fish to start with. Many people see goldfish as the perfect starter fish, but a recent study shows that 85 percent of the people in the aquarium trade got started with a Betta.
•    Myth #8: Fish cannot show emotion. Betta fish have plenty of emotion to show off! In fact, they will make bubble nests on top of their water to show that they are happy. Some Betta fish owners even say they are greeted by their Betta fish as they are approach its fish bowl.

Dry Creek Olive Co.

Travel is one of the passions in my life. Food ranks right up there with travel. I remember a part in the movie, "Eat, Pray, Love" where she is sitting on the floor with a beautiful tray of food. She was enjoying the delicious tidbits one by one.

Have you ever just fixed a plate of food that makes you smile? Something just for you?

Imagine a plate with delicious olive oil. Add a little cracked pepper. A loaf of your favorite bread. Maybe even homemade. Add some olives and cheese. And Wine, definitely wine...Now this is a feast!!!

I was lucky enough to get a chance to review the Gourmet Sampler Set from Dry Creek Olive Co.

"Gourmet Sampler includes: Three Orchards Blend, Frutteto, Trattore Farms and Meyer Lemon Olive Oils combined with our Pomegranate and Barrel-Aged Balsamic Vinegar. This is a wonderful sampler for the home chef or hostess that loves to cook a variety of foods"

After trying the variety of all of the luscious olive oils, I have to say the Meyer Lemon was my favorite. I loved the light citrus flavor. I drizzled some over my baked Tilapia with black pepper and ohhhh...I was in heaven.

This great set even includes Balsamic Vinegar and Pomegranate Vinegar!

Dry Creek Olive Co. has a variety of different products including sampler packs. The sampler pack would make a great house warming or couples shower gift.

Or if you prefer...they even have Olive Oil Soap!!

Dry Creek Olive Co. also has Trattore Wines. Olive Oil and Wine...I'm in love!

The wonderful people at Dry Creek Oil Co. are giving away the same Gourmet Sampler Set to one lucky reader!!!

Sponsored Disclosure of Material Connection: I received one or more of the products or

Luxury came up with a fast and easy way of cooking pasta. The Pot-Sized Pasta makes cooking a meal quick and easy. No breaking or waiting for pasta for soften until it all fits in the pot. It's a pound of pasta and easy to fix! I'm all about quick and easy meals

As a part of telling the world about Luxury's New Pot-Sized Pasta, Bloggers were asked to share their quick and easy tips for Short Cuts in the Kitchen.

My short cut is an easy way to make meals. I work and love shortcuts.

Buy chicken breast in bulk. Get a few freezer bags and place chicken breasts in bags, enough for each meal. Mix up a bunch of your favorite Marinade and pour in the bag.

Place them in the freezer and whenever you need a quick meal, take out a bag and defrost. The chicken will marinate as it defrosts.

Cook the chicken as you desire. I use my trusty George Foreman Grill.

Easy and quick meal for the family.

Stop by and vote for my ShortCut at Luxury Pasta

and you could win $100 weekly!!!

Isabella's Cookies Company Review

Sponsored Disclosure of Material Connection: I received one or more of the products or

Looking for the Perfect Valentine's Day Gift???

Isabella's Cookie Company is the perfect place.

What can I say about Isabella's Cookie Company?

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!

I wish they would be my Valentine.

I was sent the most delicious cookies for a review. I have to share with all of you how yummy these cookies are.

(1) 9-Piece of Droga Honey Caramel Chocolates

The first ones that I tried were the Put Your Money On Honey- Dark Chocolate, Honey Caramel with Sea Salt.

I was in heaven with every bite. I loved the light taste the Sea Salt gave to the lightly sweet caramel flavor. Wrap it all up in a dark chocolate covering. Perfection!! Who wouldn't love a box of these for Valentine's Day?

Now these should just have the label of "Sinful" on them.

Red Velvet Cookies...

(1) Bite bag of Red Velvet Cookies

These rich cookies are addictive. They are moist and full of flavor. I remember my grandmother making red velvet brownies once when I was a kid. These are even better than that. If you love Red Velvet Cake, you will love this delicious cookie.

Isabella's Cookies will make a perfect gift for anyone on Valentine's Day or any day. They even make custom cookies. Here are a few pictures of other great items in their store:
