Price Of Privilege Book 3 in Price of Privilege Series

Image
Ok I wasn't so sure about this book. I wasn't informed that it was the 3rd book in the series. I would love to read the 2 previous books in the series to find out how we got to this point. The cover is beautiful and the story is well written.... This little piece of historical romance will have you glued until the end. You want to be in the story with these characters. They really come off the page and into your life. I think I would have been a lot better of a read with the previous 2 books knowledge. Julia has had a time. You wanted to walk through the halls of those beautifully described mansions. Dance in the halls. If you love historical romance with a bit of excitement then this is the book to get. You can purchase this book through Amazon.com for $12.86 in paperback http://www.amazon.com/Price-Privilege-Book-ebook/dp/B00LPQOJZU/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1419810067&sr=8-2&keywords=price+of+privilege I was sent this book to read and post my honest r

The Duck Commanders Hardback Bible Review

Image
This is the nicest put together Bible and "devo" book I have seen out. The hardback cover is very well put together! When we received this Bible, my son came and said this was now his Bible. At 16, I figured that this would be a great one for him. I love what these Duck Commanders follow as their core values: faith, family, fellowship, forgiveness, and freedom. You can't go wrong teaching these values to your kids! All throughout this Bible there are stories from Phil, the Robertson family patriarch, and his son Al, a pastor with more than 22 years of experience. Even if you don't read the Bible itself it is nice to read these wonderful little pieces. Features include: •Full text of the New King James Version Bible •A personal welcome note from Phil and Al Robertson •125 articles on the top 24 most-searched topics on Bible Gateway •Life application and scripture references supplement each article •30 days of life-changing testimonials •Topical index and re

Bamboo Pro Self Warming Knee Brace Review

Image
Product Description Bamboo Pro™ supports contain Bamboo Charcoal Technology that offers self-warming properties. Unlike normal supports, it activates with your body heat to bring restorative warmth to your muscles, cartilage, and joints. Natural heat increases blood circulation, which in turn delivers proteins, nutrients, and oxygen to the affected area. This helps ease discomfort, relieve achy joints due to aging, enhance muscle performance, and recovery. And if you overheat, bamboo charcoal can fluctuate in temperature to provide cooling relief. Bamboo Pro™ is safe, effective, and easy to use. It can be worn all day and night for long-lasting, natural relief. Over 50,000 supports sold! Healing Tree Products is a great place to find wrist braces, knee braces and other products to help out when a body part decides it doesn't want to work. Check them out at: http://www.healingtreeproducts.com/ You can purchase this knee brace for around $19.99. Not too bad. The self warmi

Nuby Foam Bath Letters and Numbers

Image
The Nuby Foam Bath Letters and Numbers are not just fun for the bath! My son is really struggling with his alphabet due to having dyslexia. These letters have been an extra help with recognition of the letters. ◦Includes all 26 letters and 10 numbers. The foam letters are very resilient to children pulling at them and trying to bite them apart. My 2 year old loves to try to pull toys apart with her teeth. She is teething terribly. So, in my opinion, these could be used as teethers also. All of the foam letters and numbers float in the bath water. Letters can also stick to the wall of the tub. You can purchase this set for $6.99 from Buy Baby Direct https://buybabydirect.com/foam-bath-letters-numbers I have also seen these at Wal-mart. I did not see the price but I know Wal-mart is always really inexpensive. You can also purchase from Amazon.com for about $15.90 http://www.amazon.com/Nuby-Bath-Time-Letters-Numbers/dp/B00LI0B0Q4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1419267054&sr=

10 Ultimate Truths Girls Should Know Review and Giveaway

Image
We used to be jr high youth ministers for our old church. I wish I had of had this book at that time. This really is a great book filled with quite a bit of wisdom for the teenage girl. Our older teen girls are wise beyond their years. I am saving this for our 10 year old daughter though. 10 Ultimate Truths Girls Should Know will be great for her. Might just save her a couple heartaches. So many teen girls have questions that they don't feel they can take to their parents. It's a heartbreaking ordeal but it happens. Kari Kampakis tries to help girls know what to expect. It's almost like a What to Expect When You are Expecting book. These ten simple truths can build one big change in your daughter’s life. When Kari Kampakis wrote a blog post in July 2013 titled “10 Truths Young Girls Should Know,” the post went viral and was shared more than 65,000 times on Facebook. Obviously her message strikes a chord with moms and dads across the country. This nonfiction book for

Tipper Tells a Lie and Diggit Saves the Day Board Books Review

Image
My 2 year old daughter LOVES these 2 books! She will come down from nap time or wander through the living room and grab the books saying "boo, boo". She loves her brother trucks and trains so these are her favorite books. Tipper Tells a Lie This book tells about how Tipper lies to his friends. Dozer, Diggit, Stretch and Tipper are a team and on their way to a construction site. Tipper, all throughout the book, tries to hide his lie. In the end he gets found out, but the best part.....is how his friends are so forgiving and help him out! Shows your child, not only how lying is bad but about forgiveness.. The pictures are bright and the trucks are drawn with such great animation. Would be great buy for little boys age 2-7 You can purchase this book through Tommy Nelson website for $9.99 http://www.thomasnelson.com/building-god-s-kingdom-tipper-tells-a-lie?utm_source=hccp&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=TM-TM%20TNMommy%20Monthly%20Resource%20Newsletter%20-%20D

Nuby Clik-it™ Soft Spout Insulated Cup Review and Giveaway

Image
This has been our favorite Nuby cup yet. With it's soft spout it is so good on our little girls swollen gums. This specific Nuby cup has the clik it lid. Just twist it on and wait for the click to know that it is locked tight. Some other sippy cups out there leak. I hate that. I love the clik it lids so that my daughters clothes don't get soaked. Such cute designs also. We chose the owl to test. But, the other designs to choose from are: a knight, spaceship, a whale, flowers and jungle animals. Colors and designs for both boys and girls. This cup is a little heavier than most cups due to it is insulated. It will keep your drink cooler longer. My daughter didn't seem to notice it being heavier. This specific Clik it cup holds 9oz of whatever liquid you would like to fill it with. I do not recommend pops though as the fizz doesn't pop up out of the lid. Most sippy cups are that way. You can purchase this cup from diapers.com for about $7.99 Five Lil Bass I

Vaseline Intensive Care Advanced Repair Lotion

Image
This stuff is GREAT! I am very picky about my lotions. I get seriously chapped skin, on my hands, during the winter. Around my fingers will bleed and my skin starts getting really ashy looking. It is not pretty. I have tried lotion after lotion, with nothing that really does the job I need it too. I am so glad that I got picked to do this review for Vaseline! You can purchase Vaseline Intensive Care Lotion at so many places. Walmart and Walgreens being the major ones that I have seen it at. I do NOT have any cracks in my skin right now, my hands are fingers are healing nicely since I have used this lotion for 2 weeks now. Target it is $8.59 http://www.target.com/p/vaseline-intensive-care-advanced-repair-fragrance-free-lotion-32-oz/-/A-13345370?ref=tgt_adv_XS000000&AFID=google&CPNG=dsa_health+beauty&adgroup=dsa+bath+and+body+skincare&LNM=_inurl:lotion&MT=broad&LID=17p5043101&KID=34cd2c14-1499-4a4d-8fc7-275948655ec6&gclid=CjwKEAiA4_WjBRCNgf7A_KeE

These natural soy candles are a neat gift item for that hard to buy for person. I didn't realize they would be so small but don't let that fool you.

Devotions For Beginning Readers Book Review

Image
Super cute book! I have a little one who desperately struggles with reading. This is the perfect Devotion for him. He doesn't have to struggle with words that he doesn't understand. I love that there is a word segment that is like having a spelling word that is repeated throughout. Repeating words over and over again is great way to help your child learn that specific word. This book is written by bestselling author Crystal Bowman and award-winning producer Christy Lee Taylor. This book is 240 pages. It is a nice hard back book with beautiful, vibrant illustrations. My 2 year old loves just looking at the bright pictures, while everyone else reads. This would make a great Christmas gift to a child aged 5-8. I would say, that both boys and girls would love this book equally. Devotions for Beginning Readers doesn't just help your child read, it helps them learn to pray. Each devotions ends in a simple prayer for your child to pray. I was sent this book for my child

Forever Mom Book Review

Image
I thought that this book was very insightful! We are in the process of adopting our youngest child. We have had her since she was 3 weeks old and she is now a little over 2. Mary Ostyn gave tips and pointers on things to do. She gave ideas to fund raising, which we have done a lot of. Private Adoption and Overseas adoption is not cheap. Now, if you adopt from foster care it can be relatively cheap to free. Mary posted her heart on these pages. She wanted to adopt and the journey through it. Sometimes the choice is not the one you want. There are so many children out there right now that need a forever family. I have a friend who is over her limit for taking in foster children. They have so many that need homes that they are overfilling homes. Most people want babies because they feel an older child will cause problems. Do not always pay attention to movies. My friend has 5 teens in her home right now. Only 1 has been an issue. But, after being in her home for over a year now, she

Holiday Specs Review

Image
These Holiday Specs are such a neat idea for parties or if you have little kids. Holiday Specs are made of heavy cardstock, that have dark lenses. Each pair of specs has a unique design for seeing the tree lights. Some see stars that blink, some see elves, all Christmas designs. Just put of the Holiday Specs and look toward Christmas lights. The lights do not have to blink. Although, it does make the experience better since the designs dance as the lights dance. But regular lights are fun too! Due to having 6 kids, I was glad that the pack I received, to test, came with quite a few. The Santa flashing pin was so cute. We were able to look through each of the Specs and see the dancing designs. They have Valentines Day, Birthday, Fourth of July, St. Patricks Day and more...Great party bag gifts. We were also sent 2 of the plastic 3D viewer glasses. Each are $4 or $20 for a set. Christmas trees, Santa Hats, Snow Flakes, Snow Men and Reigndeer. Check out each of the Specs a

The Baby Banana Brush

Image
If you look at the shape of this silicone toothbrush you will notice that the child can't poke themselves, like you can with regular toothbrushes. The shape of the banana is perfect for their little hands. Great to teeth on while keeping their budding teeth clean! There are banana's and corn cobs, how cute is that? The Baby Banana Brush Story : A few years ago, my two-year-old grandson tripped and fell on his toothbrush as he was trying to brush his teeth. The traditional hard plastic toothbrush punctured the roof of his mouth and came within centimeters of entering his brain. As a mother of 8, I knew that this all-to-common occurrence of babies falling on hard toothbrushes should be preventable, but how? As these questions were on my mind, I discussed them with my daughter-in-law, who is a dental hygienist and with her insight the idea for a flexible infant toothbrush was born. She taught me about the safety specifications we would need, such as a slight "

Griddly Games Show Me The Kwan

Image
It's not quite a board game, definitely not a video game, and a whole lot of fun! It plays very quickly and works for any number of players (ages 10+ - can be slightly younger if simple spelling of words is not frustrating). Show Me the Kwan is a fast-paced, dice rolling, word game. Given the chosen category the players must call out fitting words where either the first, second or last letter correspond to the lettered dice that were rolled. Each dice has an assigned point value. At the end of the 1 minute round, all players must count their points on the dice they collected. http://shop.griddlygames.com/ and use code FREESHIP for free shipping on Kwan ONLY, or code 10FORME for 10% off @usfg @griddlygames Looks like loads of fun!

Dura Tags @Jolly Awesome Pet Tag Review and Giveaway

Image
Our pets are part of the family. We have Sophie, our 6 year old yorkie. She is my little love puppy. So sweet. She got out one day and we couldn't find her. I was devastated. I started making phone calls because I had taken her collar off to give her a bath and hadn't put it back on her. We finally found out she was picked up by a puppy pound, here in town. Took us a while to get her back. Her tags didn't have out updated information on it, even if she had of had her tags on. I really learned my lesson! Shortly after this happened, I found out that I could do this review. I am so thankful. We have new updated tags for 3 of our beloved pets. Hershee, my daughters, mixed yorkie who is almost a year old. And our adult cat Katniss (she is cat on the right) The process to get these adorable tags is so easy. Just start off by going to www.JollyAwesomePetTags.com and looking around. 3 personalized tags normally cost $16.95 but right now through their sale the

Purex Crystals Aromatherapy Review

Image
This stuff smells AMAZING! Do you buy Bath and Body Works items? Have you smelled Sweet Pea? That is exactly what the Well Being scent smells like. So fresh and yummy smelling. Each 18oz bottle of this is packed with freshness that lasts for weeks. I haven't found another brand of crystals that can match the length of lasting scent that Purex has. There are 3 scents. Well Being, Energy and Serenity. Pick one and express to the world what your mood is. Each one has either a citrus or floral scent to it. These just became available in mid October. So if you are looking for a laundry enhancer with a fresh laundry scent, check out Purex Crystals Aromatherapy. In my opinion, you won't be disappointed. Our laundry has never smelled so good. Purex Crystals Aromatherapy helps eliminate those nasty odors. I have kids that play sports and work hard. The odor is gone. We only use Purex detergents in this house because we have found that their products do not irritate my son

DoggieLawn Real Grass Pet Potty Review

Image
Do you live in an apartment? Do you have to leave your pet home alone a lot? This might be just the product for you. DoggieLawn Their hydroponically grown grass is designed to work perfectly as an indoor dog potty, or outside on your balcony as a fresh potty patch. At first the dogs really didn't pay much attention to this product. I thought it wasn't going to work, but I left it there. About 2 days after receiving this product the dogs and the cats took to it. It was so nice not to come home to see poop on the floor or to feel a wet spot. We aren't gone that long but it never fails that when we leave the animals go potty. I sort of chuckled when I first received the box, that we just got mailed a box of grass. I can't tell you what a "box of grass" has been in saving my carpets! This keeps the stink of doggie urine away. I am TOTALLY impressed by this. Who thought to bring in a piece of grass so th

Triple Shampoo and Soap Dispenser by Toilet Tree

Image
We LOVE this product! With 6 kids and 3 adults living in the house, this is something that has made out lives a little easier. We decided to take each one and put it in a different room. I could probably have used a triple set in each room. Between hand soap, shampoo, conditioner, dish soap, body wash and lotion. *It is recommended to never use any shampoo, soap or body wash in our dispensers that have microbeads or grit. This could cause the dispenser to clog* If you have lots of children or have visitors a lot, this might just be the perfect product for you! You can purchase these shampoo/soap dispensers in single, double or triple. single $24.99 double $34.95 triple $49.95 plus shipped free! http://www.amazon.com/Shampoo-Dispensers-ToiletTree-Products-Triple/dp/B00I4YJ5FU/ref=sr_1_sc_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1416026174&sr=8-1-spell&keywords=Triple+Shampoo+and+soap+dispenser+Toilet+tree Each set can be bought with a white base or a chrome plated base.
