This is their first co-authored novel - and is proof that a teenager and her dad can indeed collaborate amicably and productively!

Boogie Wipes Review and Giveaway

I was so excited to hear about a product like this. Even my older kids lately have been having cold after cold, and their noses were raw. They have found they love these. These do not have to be solely for little ones. My 12 year old used them for her cold and was relieved not to get a raw nose this time around. These are also gentle enough for the 2 month old in our house! Boogie Wipes also have a wonderful smell. No raw, great smell you just can't beat that! Also Boogie Wipes are not expensive. They cost about what a nice box of tissue would cost. I love that they are the perfect size to carry in your diaper bag, purse or to leave in the glove box of the car for when you are on the run!

Kleenex Slim Pack review

Image
Have you ever been in the car and sneezed, only to find out you can't find anything to blow your nose on? Or you have to dig to the bottom of your purse for that half used piece of Kleenex that you stuffed in there yesterday? It happens more often than you think! We, as woman, generally keep a tissue of some sort on hand. If you are a mom that is more of a necessity that a want. Kids are constantly little booger magnets. Well Kleenex has these new 4 pks of wallet style slim packs. In each of the packs there are 10 Kleenex sheets. with 3-ply white tissues. I am also thinking that Kleenex has a great design team on hand because you can find about any color scheme or design you could want! My favorite designs so far have been: Tawny Owl, Sugared Lace and Canthus. They are very delicate designs and are very girly. I have 5 children and lately have a sweet little 2 month old for weeks on end, so I always have to have tissue on hand. I used to hate to stuff loose tissues down in my pu

Review of book Morrigan by Laura Deluca

Image
Blurb: Shuffled from place to place in the foster system, Morrigan doesn't know the meaning of home. Plus, she is different. She has power over fire, the ability to move objects with her mind, and glimpse into the future. Just when she believes her life can’t get any stranger, she discovers her true identity. Filtiarn, a knight with a dark past and a surprising secret, has been tasked with guiding the heir of Tír Na NÓg through countless perils to be returned to her family. Once Morrigan has been reunited with her mother and grandmother, their triad can save the forgotten land of magic from being devoured by an ancient evil. Short Excerpt “Guardians!” A low snarl emanated from the back of his throat. “What are you doing with Guardians?” “Stop it! Sit down!” Morrigan wasn’t sure who she was addressing, the man or the animals. Luckily, they both obeyed her command. She stepped in between them to avoid any further confrontations. The cats took a seat on either side her legs,

Review for Disney Cars die cast vehicles

Image
My youngest son is fully into Disney Cars. He loves them all McQueen, Doc Hudson, DJ, Wingo, Sally and Mater! He has all the die cast cars, a shake and go vehicle and the flash light car. I have to say that the die cast vehicles were made to last! My son crashes them together at full speed, he throws them around outside and chases the girls Bratz everywhere. There are no knicks in the paint or fading from being outside. These cars are made to last. If they can withstand the beating my son gives them then they are basically indestructable. I do not mind paying the higher price for these cars as I know that they are worth it and will last. Toys R Us carries them for $4.19 http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=11429940 Lightening McQueen http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=11429941 Mater If you want a toy that is going to last my recommendation for your son would be to buy him these. As long as he is over age 3. Otherwise here is the warning label:

Book Review- Phantom by Laura DeLuca

Image
I offered Laura an opportunity for me to read her book and write a review. She sent the PDF of it to me, I was so intrigued that I started it this morning and just finished. This book is 262 pages long. The summary of the story is : The “Phantom” was a musical phenomenon that Rebecca had always found enchanting. She had no idea that her life was about to mirror the play that was her obsession. When her high school drama club chooses “Phantom” as their annual production, Rebecca finds herself in the middle of an unlikely love triangle and the target of a sadistic stalker who uses the lines from the play as their calling card. Rebecca lands the lead role of Christine, the opera diva, and like her character, she is torn between her two co-stars—Tom the surfer and basketball star who plays the lovable hero, and Justyn, the strangely appealing Goth who is more than realistic in the role of the tortured artist. Almost immediately after casting, strange things start to happen bot

movie review of People Like Us PG-13

Image
This movie is based of real events. This movie starts out where Sam (Chris Pine)learns that his father is dead. When he goes home to the funeral he meets with his dads lawyer thinking he is going to get an inheritance. When he opens the bag his dad left he finds a bunch of money and thinks it is left for him. But essentially finds out his dad had another child...a daughter named "Frankie" (Elizabeth Banks), and it is for her and her son (Michael Hall D'Addario). Throughout the movie he tries to find a way to tell her about being her brother and how to give her this money. Along the way they build a great relationship and learn alot about the other. The end made me cry...Was a very good movie. There was a little foul language but no sexual content. I would say that any child over 10 would be ok to watch this movie. Let me know if you get a chance to watch this movie and what you thought about it...

review Dove clear tone skin renew deodorant

Image
I received this as a sample to try. I would definately buy again. In our house we use a variety of deodorants. My oldest son (14) uses Axe, my oldest daughter (16)uses vanilla Secret, middle daughter (11)doesnt seem too picky so uses whatever is in the medicine cabinet at the time. But Jeff and I usually use Teen Spirit if we can find it. Yes I just said my husband uses Teen Spirit lol He has found that most mens deodorants don't last the full day, like he needs. This Dove deodorant is made so that when you shave and get the dark rings under your arm from shaving irritation, it renews that skin. It is made with calendula and sunflower seed extracts. This product claims to have 24 wetness protection and lives up to that claim. I had no problems at all. Now, I am a stay at home mom who care for her grandmother in law, so in all truth I am not out running races to build up a sweat. If you have any questions on this product or any other Dove products feel free to call 1-800-761-3683.

My first review -Hydro Silk razor

Image
Good morning to you all! I hope you all are having a wonderful Thursday morning! It is raining here so a little on the gloomy side. My first review is on the Hydro Silk razor. I was excited to get this neat product from Walmart. (I just decided to open it yesterday Oct 24th) When I got it in the mail as sample, they asked me to do a review for it on their site. I still haven't done the review, and am now nervous to do it, as I was not happy with this razor at all....I usually shave with girly, good smelling shaving cream. I put the shaving cream on the first leg and then began to shave. I was immediately not happy as it was taking me over 2x each strip of leg to get the razor to remove all the hair! I use very hot water to rinse my razor so it definately was not that. So when I finally was able to finish that leg I started to wonder if I should go back to the razor I normally use and thought "no we will give it one more leg to try". But this time I decided to go with
