Summer Reading List: Tales of the Peculiar by Ransom Riggs
Miss Peregrine’sHome for Peculiar Children has been one of my favorite new series. Ransom Riggs blended his magical story with real-life old peculiar photos to make a trilogy unlike any other. The peculiar children each have their own unique abilities, and when their home is threatened they take off on an action-packed adventure filled with magic, time travel, and horrific monsters. While on their adventure they have one treasure that they hold dear, and source for clues to unanswered questions: an old and faded copy of Tales of the Peculiar. This book is like a peculiar history textbook, and it helps them along the way as they fight to find their beloved Miss Peregrine and save their loop.
Tales of the Peculiar is now available to all of us; it is the very same one with the history of peculiars that Miss Peregrine's kids used on their adventure. The strange stories and beautiful illustrations are a great read for those who love the original series. If you haven’t read the Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children series yet it is a fantastic read! Stay tuned for the major motion picture Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children, directed by Tim Burton and set to open September 30.

Raising Ridley Bronze turkeys may seem like a lot of work,
but to Marie-Josee, it is completely worth it. “They have such friendly personalities and
love to follow you around,” she said. “I think they actually know their names!”
She and her boyfriend Matt raise Ridley Bronze turkeys at their home in L'Isle-aux-Allumettes,
Quebec. They have other breeds of birds on site; Coturnix quails, Barrad Rocks
chickens, Rhode Island chickens and even Pekin ducks. Not to mention their
adorable cats; Minnie Mouse the grey tabby and a pure white Persian named Mr. Grinch.
They care for and love all of their pets equally, but they raise their Ridley
Bronze with a purpose.

Many people who don’t eat organic cite the high cost of organic food as the reason for not making the switch. Even people who care deeply about the environment, animal rights and their own health say they just can’t afford to eat organic. Let’s face it- just eating healthy on its own is more expensive. Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH) did a study in 2013 where they examined 27 existing studies that evaluated the cost of healthy vs un-healthy foods in 10 different high-income countries. Their study found that it costs about $1.50 more a day to eat healthy, even if the food items weren’t organic. The term “healthy” was given to diets that incorporated more food like fruits, vegetables, nuts and fish. “Un-healthy” diets consisted mostly of packaged processed food, meat and refined grains.

Nature at its best: Organic Week kicks off tomorrow!
Paws For Reaction is so excited to announce that tomorrow, September 17 kicks off Organic Week! Eating organic is something that I am very passionate about, and over the past year I have been able to convert the majority of my diet to Certified Organic and Non-GMO food. Organic Week is an exciting way to raise awareness about the importance of organic food, and sustainable, ethical farming. Whenever I see the Canada Organic logo or a product verified by the Non-GMO Project I know that it was created or farmed ethically and contains no genetically modified ingredients or chemicals.

Celebrate the 25th Anniversary of Beauty and the Beast with these Disney dog toys
My anticipation for the 2017 live-action retelling of Disney's Beauty and the Beast has been building for months and I think I might explode with excitement. The wait seems so long, but Disney has found a way to make the waiting a little bit easier. They are releasing a 25th
Anniversary edition of Beauty and the Beast. This re-release of the animated 1991 Disney classic will be available on September 20, 2016.
Beauty and the Beast was the first Disney animated film to be nominated for the Best Picture Oscar, and went on to win two Oscars that year; Best Original Score and Best Original Song "Beauty and the Beast."

Hey Paws peeps! I love sharing products and things I love with you all. As many of you already know I am a huge Nintendo fan- Super Mario in particular. My fiancé and I collect vintage toys and comic books, and basically anything with some 90s nostalgia. I purchased a custom cell phone case from the Minimalist Witch Etsy shop and I am so impressed I had to share it!
I saw Simplistic Panda's work online and fell in love with the creative phone cases, and other crafts. I asked the artist if she could make me something custom; a Super Mario Bros. iPhone 6 case. I let her be creative, I just wanted it to be Mario and Luigi.
Last summer while Robert and I were garage sale hunting we came across an old Felix the Cat toy from the 1990s'. You "Ask Felix" a question and spin the cat around, and he tells you your fortune- similar to a magic eight ball. I fell in love with this toy cat, and we started taking him on road trips, spinning Felix and allowing him to decide our route- and often our fate. Felix took us to the fair in Renfrew where we rode a Ferris Wheel and drank fresh lemonade. He took us to a man's home in Jacksonville who was a picker; he had one arm and the largest comic book collection I have ever seen. He took us to Stitsville to the Barbie museum and the best-used bookstore. EVER! He took us to a chip truck called Pong's Poutine where we ate the BEST poutine! Those who follow me on Instagram may remember my Felix adventures. If you want to see how the Felix toy works head to my Instagram and watch the video.
Today we dusted off Felix and he took us on yet another road trip. This time we started at the Cobden fair and ended up all the way in the Madawaska Valley. We explored and acted like tourists. We asked Felix and he directed us on our way to a day filled with adventure and shenanigans. This is Ask Felix: Travel to the Madawaska Valley, our day in photos.
