Sour Jacks Candies

Image
Sour Jacks candies should be a house hold staple this time of the year. There are so many things that you can do with them. If you shred them, you can make a cookie have chew or a bowl of ice cream have a extra kick. I have seen people add them to make ears on a monster, cut them up to be different body parts for a face. You can also just eat them as they are, if you'd like. The chewy candies are so yummy and have a sugary coating. My only beef is that I can't run down to the local Walmart to buy these. You can buy them online at tons of candy places. I have heard that some AMC movie theaters have them. My daughter already wants me to buy her some more. We got these to enter one of the candy decorating contests. My daughter wanted to do something that looks like a Christmas village.

Shredded Memory Foam Pillow

Image
Are you looking for a good night sleep? I was too. I love this pillow. I get migraines, I have allergies and never enough sleep. Most pillows you get at Walmart are flat, you buy them and they look so comfy and fluffy. When you get them home, you lay down and sink to the bed. Not a comfortable rest. With 6 kids, 1 of which is 2, I need good rest to chase her. When you lay on this memory foam pillow its like laying on a cloud. It was so cool when it came in the mail. It was rolled small like a yoga mat. When you unwrapped it, it "sprung" to life. I have slept on this pillow every night, since I received it. I am in love! It is soft, yet fluffy and oh so soft. The feel of bamboo is amazing. Have you ever felt clothes made of bamboo? So soft and this pillow is no exception. Normally, I would wake up with a neck ache, but not any more. No more kinks. I will not go back to a Walmart pillow. It is a much bigger pillow which is great since I have a toddl

S. Marlon Children's Shoes

When I heard that I was getting boots in grey for my little girl, I was leery. When I opened the box, I was in love with these boots. My daughter has sensory processing disorder and doesn't like shoes or socks. She actually loves the fur that is on the inside of these boots. She wears a 9 so I ordered a 10 and they are great. I believe these will make it all winter. They slide on so nicely that there is not even a fight. These are so cute and make her look like she is ready to go skiing. I would love to have a pair just like them. The design is super adorable and could be for both boy or girl. We have not had super crazy weather yet but she will be set when we do. The soles are perfect for that walk through the snow. Slightly arched insoles and Velcro straps. There are multiple colors to choose from. Orange and Red are the other 2 you can choose from. You can purchase these shoes from Amazon for $34.99 http://www.amazon.com/S-Marlon-DHS040-inside-Toddler-Little

Grace For the Moment Review for Adult and Matching Childs Devotionals

Image
I think that everyone has heard of Max Lucado. He has so many wonderful books and ministerial pieces. I've listened to him on the radio ever since I can remember. He is very interesting to listen to. His books are a great read. I was excited when I got to review one of his devotionals. I love to have a variety of devotionals. I like to switch them up or to read more than 1 to see what they have for me to learn that day. The cover of the adult devotional is a very simple yet thought provoking one. There is a tan cover with a single tree at the top. Sort of makes me think of the tree in the Garden of Eden. So I love the cover. The children's version is definitely that. It is a cartoon cover with a tree with a tree house in it. Makes you think, doesn't it. Each of the children's book pages are a serene color of blue. The scripture is at the top and then a devotional and then a Growing in Grace saying. The adult version has a verse and then a devotional. Check it out and

Sugar Bowl Bakery -Madeleines and Brownie Bites

Image
My family fell in love with these cookie/cakes and brownie bites! (trying to find a friend to go pick me up some more from Costco) The chocolate brownie bites were heaven in your mouth. No joke...They were individually wrapped for your convenience. The chocolate was perfect, the brownie bite was soft.. I could not ask more of a treat! Grab yourself a bowl of ice cream and warm up your brownie. Or grab a glass of ice cold milk. As a mom, with such a big household, it was nice to sit down after everyone was in bed and eat a treat. You can purchase from amazon for $34.24 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00YX677AI?keywords=sugar%20bowl%20bakery&qid=1450565571&ref_=sr_1_3&sr=8-3 The other treat we got to try out were the madeleines. It was a cookie/cake type texture. They had a sweet taste to them. These would make such a great treat to have on the table for holidays. If you want to get creative, you can dip one end of the Madeleines in candy melts.

Jesus Calling Devotional Book for Adults and Children

Image
I like my devotions to have the scripture printed out for me. I guess I'm a lazy devotion reader. I lost my Bible in one of our moves and haven't replaced it yet. With this set, we had to look up the verse that goes with the devotional. Sarah Young, the author, did a great job in the smoothness of her writing.  The devotions are easy to read and the pictures in the children's book are cute. I love that she made parent and children's books. Helps teach your child the importance of time with God. You can purchase both of these from amazon The adult version is $8.43 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1591451884?keywords=jesus%20calling%20by%20sarah%20young&qid=1450544495&ref_=sr_1_1&s=books&sr=1-1 The children's version is $8.89 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1400316340?keywords=jesus%20calling%20by%20sarah%20young&qid=1450544495&ref_=sr_1_6&s=books&sr=1-6 Check out all their other great books at https://www.facebook.
