$15 Amazon Gift Card Giveaway!

After a long wait, I finally got to watch the latest (and best) film rendition of one of my favorite books, Jane Eyre. To celebrate, I am giving away a $15 gift card to Amazon.com (the gift card is not limited to books). I have recently read a lot of books that I have really enjoyed, including […]

Chocolate Covered Strawberries – So Easy!

I recently served chocolate covered strawberries at a gathering at my home and they were (of course) a big hit, especially with the children. Most people tend to think of these treats as something reserved for romantic holidays and couple time, but why restrict yourself to that when you can eat these tasty treats more often?

I recently received a Halloween costume to review from WholesaleHalloweenCostumes.com. I was a little apprehensive about reviewing a costume because my daughter is very sensitive to how clothing feels and often complains of things being “too scratchy.”  WholesaleHalloweenCostumes.com has a huge selection of girls Halloween costumes, but I was worried that whatever we selected, my daughter would reject it.

When Tragedy Strikes – Answering His Call

I recently heard that a woman I went to high school with lost her husband in a freak accident in Africa. She and her husband were missionaries in Malawi and were doing amazing things there. This woman was not a personal friend of mine, just a very nice girl I once shared a school with. […]

Cub Scouts Popcorn and Troop Donations

My son is a very proud Cub Scout. Every year the Scouts sell popcorn to raise money for all of their fun-filled and educational activities. The popcorn sales are very beneficial to the Pack because 70% of all sales go back to the Pack. You can help by clicking here (my son’s sales for his Pack) to buy popcorn or by supporting your […]

The Lion King in 3D – You’d Better Hurry!

In case you have not heard, Disney released The Lion King in 3D in theaters on September 16 and is only planning to to keep it in theaters for two weeks. That means it will be out of theaters after Thursday. Disney will then release the movie in a DVD/Blu-Ray combo pack on October 4. I took my children […]
