Gabby’s Good News: Florida Georgia Line Presents Veteran with New Wheel Chair

THIS IS HOW FLORIDA GEORGIA LINE ROLLS

Florida Georgia Line have been doing something really great for wounded, injured or ill veterans in need during their current tour, and they brought the house down over the weekend at their Philadelphia show in Camden, New Jersey, when they presented a vet with a special all-terrain wheelchair.

Marine Corps veteran Chris Kaag was invited out onstage while the crowd cheered with chants of “USA USA” and he showed off his new tracked wheelchair that was given to him by FGL and non-profit group The Independence Fund.

The clip above shows Chris Kaag being greeted by FGL’s Tyler Hubbard and Brian Kelley. He then brings his young son out on stage to enjoy the moment.

Florida Georgia Line has plans to present a new wheelchair to a veteran at all of their shows all the way through September 21st.

{Katie’s Baby Blog} Beachin’ With a Baby

Beach pictures with your infant are adorable, and the pictures of them sleeping on the beach are even cuter; but, what does it take to get there? Stress, preparation, and a lot of *stuff* to carry.

Last week, we were on our family vacation in Bethany Beach. I LOVE Bethany. Its a perfect family friendly beach town.

We went to the beach twice and at the end of both days I thought..”was all of that worth it with an infant?” Honestly,  probably not. I loved being by the ocean, but I think I only actually looked at it like twice while I was sitting on the beach. It’s exhausting by the end of it and then, you have to pack it all back up and get the baby home for a bath.

Packing to prepare to head to the beach, I would suggest creating a list of items that you will need and keep in mind, you might not last longer than 2 hours with a little one, and that is not a bad thing.

The first day we went to the beach we had a really nice beach tent, but it lasted all of 5 minutes once it was set up because Bethany Beach doesn’t allow tents anymore, unless they’re 38 inches high. Just big enough for a little baby to sit under. So definitely check before you lug one out there like we did!

In addition to our beach chairs, umbrella, beach mat, beach bag with everything that Tim and I needed, coolers full of drinks, baby bottles, baby food, snacks, towels, toys for the baby, a baby pool, we had her diaper bag full of stuff, and a pack-n-play. The pack-n-play might sound like the most “extra” thing to bring, but it was probably the best thing we had for the babies. With three infants on the beach it was nice to get a few minutes to sit them in the pack-n-play so they can stretch out and play with toys…not in the sand.

Luckily, Lily isn’t crawling yet, so I was able to sit her down and keep her relatively in one place while I needed to. It’s definitely harder if your baby is on the move and trying to shovel sand into their mouths every chance they get!

I don’t know how we did it but the first day at the beach we were out there 9AM -4PM…a SUPER long day. I think I slept great that night after it all. Lily really liked sleeping on the beach that day, I just laid down a clean towel under the shade and put her sound machine next to her, gave her a pacifier and she was out. That wasn’t the case the second day…she decided she only wanted to sleep in my arms. It was hot, but I didn’t mind 😉

In the end, I am so glad we had a great trip spent with family and Lily got to experience the beach for the first time. The pictures of her playing in the sand are adorable (Check out my instagram for more! @KatieRyan5234), But I think taking her to the beach as she gets older will be much easier!

Pet Safety for July 4th and Fireworks!

While the Fourth of July is a day of fun and fireworks for us, for pets, all those booms can be seriously traumatizing.

If you’ve got a pet that gets freaked out by fireworks, experts say there are things you can do to keep them safe. Here’s what you need to know:

Leave your pet at home: Fireworks displays can be disorienting and frightening to pets, even those used to going places with their people.

Do not leave your pet in the car. Cars in the summer are dangerously hot. Your pet can suffer serious health effects, even death, in a few short minutes. Partially opened windows do not provide sufficient air, but do provide an opportunity for your pet to be stolen.

Create a home sanctuary: Leave your pet in an area of your home where he or she is safe, comfortable and sheltered from any outside noise and lights. An inside room with no windows may be best.

Pet-proof your home: When scared, some animals can become destructive, so be sure to remove anything that can become damaged or might harm your pet if chewed.

Keep them inside: Never leave pets outside and unattended. Even in a fenced in yard, panic can lead a pet to escape and get lost, or become injured while trying to seek refuge.

Identification: Make sure that your pet is always wearing identification. Better yet, make sure they are micro-chipped. In the unfortunate event that your pet gets lost, IDs greatly increase your chances of being reunited.
