Rod Stewart's New Album Time Review

Image
More About Time: Stewart wrote and produced 11 of the album's 12 cuts. The first two singles off the album, She Makes Me Happy and Finest Woman, are available now. Stewart rediscovered the spark for songwriting while reviewing his life for his recent memoir. Suddenly ideas for lyrics were piling up in my head, he says. Next thing I knew, I had a song called 'It's Over' about divorce and separation. And now I was getting up in the middle of the night and scrambling for a pen to write things down, which has never happened to me. I finished seven or eight songs very quickly and I still wasn't done, and it became apparent that I would eventually have a whole album of material to record. Along with the release of Time, Stewart is set to embark on the European leg of his Live the Life tour on June 1st, while American dates with Steve Winwood will kick off October 17th. Time Track Listing: 1. She Makes Me Happy-My 2nd favorite song on the album ...

The X by Lorena Bathey Review and Giveaway

Image
The X is a book that shows that women really can stand up for themselves. Just because you are a woman does not mean that you have to sit by and let a man take advantage of you. Clarissa is a wife and mom of 2 teen boys. Both Jeremy and Sean are very active, strong boys. Her and her husband have been falling farther and farther apart for years. But one day out of the blue Clarissa is served divorce papers. What would you do if you were served divorce papers with no warning? Clarissa did, at first, what most women would. But then after speaking to a friends father and a retired FBI agent, she discovered there is more to this story that she ever knew. She takes her life and decides that this man is not going to take it all away. There are points in the story where you laugh. There are also points in the story where you cry or cringe along with Clarissa. She proves to herself and the world that she is a very strong woman! I was so proud of her and yet she was just a character in a bo...

She is going through life with the idea that she isn't really worth much that she has to basically settle for things. Till she happens upon a great deal. The house has an invitation she can't resist. The House has a full back story to it. It was built for women who really had no place to go. When Phoebe moved into the house her life began to change. She felt like she had finally "come home". She felt that the house wanted her there. That's when she met Mr. Jameson, the landlord. Also when she started to meet her 3, life changing ghosts. I will not giveaway too much of the book.

They also showed her how exciting life can be if you just step out of your comfort zone. Sometime...

Baggee and Doggee Review

Image
There are so many moms out there who try to carry bags with them so when they throw away their baby's diaper they are not stinking up the store they are at. I know my pediatricians office will not allow you to throw away a dirty diaper in the rooms without putting it in a bag first. These are perfect for that! They come in different colors also. That way you can have for a boy or a girl. These Baggee's are great for hanging off the diaper bag, or for holding your keys for a quick run to the grocery store. They also carry Doggee's Great for when you take your dog for a walk. You can pick up their potty and make sure that other people aren't stepping in it. Other people will thank you! You can hook it to the end of the leash and off you go to the park with your pet. Just stick the bags in the bottom. They are easy to pull out of the bottom. I got the pink and the purple ones since we have a baby girl that is 6 month and our dog is a little girl. ...

The Great Ergonomic Pen Review and Giveaway

Image
I have to admit..... I am a pen thief!! I love pens. Although I love pens especially the unique ones, I do not like black ink. I have found for myself, that I write so much better with blues and colored ink. If you want unique you really have to check out these Uglee Pens! http://www.ugleepen.com These are the neatest looking pens. They have a really soft, squishy plastic piece around the top part of the pen. It helps with people who experience pain and discomfort when writing, for example those with arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, etc.,. I have the beginning of arthritis in my fingers because of being "double jointed". If it is cold outside I have serious issues with my fingers and bending them. Using the computer and French braiding my girls hair literally hurts. It was nice to find a pen, for my fetish, that helps with this. It's also the best writing utensil for children who are learning to write and are developing fine motor skill...
