Tested and approved by my golden retriever and German shepherd 🐾 — these are the beds, toys, and chews that actually hold up to big dog energy. From indestructible playtime favorites to durable comfort must-haves, this list is packed with products tough enough to survive even the strongest chewers and biggest snugglers. I may earn a small commission if you shop through these links, but every product here is one I personally use and recommend for big dog families.

From splash parks to zoos, hidden gems to big city favorites — these are our family’s go-to spots in Dayton, Columbus, and Cincinnati when we want easy fun, new adventures, and memory-making days together.

As a late-30s millennial mom, I know how hard it can be to juggle family, work, and still make time to feel like yourself. That’s why I put together this list of beauty and wellness essentials that have actually made a difference in my everyday life. From skincare that keeps my skin glowing, to simple wellness picks that help me feel calm and energized, these are my go-to products for women in their late 30s and early 40s who want practical, feel-good solutions without all the hype. This isn’t a “perfect routine” — it’s real, tested favorites I use daily to keep up with mom life while still prioritizing my wellbeing. This Benable list contains affiliate links.
