I have read more books about weight loss and health than I care to remember. Some of the books were profound while others were silly. Some offered realistic advice, while others were flat out ridiculous. Some books treated our bodies like evolved machines while others reminded us that we were created by a Holy God. When I […]
Danze Faucet Review and Giveaway
I admit to being a kitchen snob. I do not have a Better Homes and Gardens budget but I do like the things in my kitchen to look nice. The kitchen is one area where I believe in using only high quality products and investing some time and money on design and functionality. So when I got the opportunity to […]
2012 Holiday Season Movie Preview
One of my favorite things to do is to go to the movies. The recent shooting at the Aurora theater was a terrible act and caused so much tragedy for so many families. We just went to the movies yesterday and I couldn’t help but think about those movie fans who lost their lives in the theater. […]
Mott’s Medleys Fruit Snack Review
We eat a lot of fruit around here and I am not too inclined to buy fruit snacks. My kiddos just love them, so I do sometimes buy a box here and there. My main objection to them is that fruit snacks are usually full of artificial garbage, especially dyes. We avoid food dye most of the time so I was interested when […]
iMo Camera Strap Review
I was recently contacted by iMo Camera Strap to review one of their products. I was very impressed with the beautiful selection of camera straps they had on their site. I also appreciate that the straps are handmade and come in both cotton and neoprene. It was very hard to choose just one but I selected the Black and […]
My Fairy Tale Books Personalized Book Review
If your children are like mine, they love stories. Sometimes I tell stories with them as the lead character and they really love that. It can sure be fun for a kid to be part of the story. One of our most cherished times in the day is when we get together to read our bedtime stories. My Fairy Tale Books has a […]
Family Fun at the Westin Kierland Resort and Spa
I recently had the chance to review the Westin Kierland Resort and Spa, a AAA Four Diamond Resort in Scottsdale, Arizona as part of a stay-cation series we did over at East Valley Mom Guide. You can read my review here. My family had so much fun during our stay that I wanted to share the family-friendly amenities and activities with […]
Tea Forte Iced Tea Brewing Pitcher
June is National Iced Tea Month which gives me one more reason to love June. Whether served hot or cold, tea is my favorite beverage. Iced tea is my summer drink of choice, however, I can never seem to brew the perfect glass – until now. I recently fell in love with the Iced Tea […]
Why Men Hate Going to Church
I decided to review Why Men Hate Going to Church (2011) by David Murrow because the title intrigued me. Most of us know at least one couple that consists of a churchgoing wife and stay-at-home-on-Sunday husband. In fact, there really can be no doubt that overall Christian churches are more heavily populated by women than by men. Don’t believe me? Just […]
Frank Peretti’s Illusion (Book Review)
I am a big fan of Frank Peretti and I have read many of his books including my favorite, The Visitation. I recently read Peretti’s newest release Illusion which is his first novel in several years. This book was different than any other Peretti book I have read. Illusion is a timeless love story which Peretti says was […]
I See Me Personalized Book Review
I recently received an I See Me! personalized book to review. I have purchased personalized books in the past and have been disappointed with how they turned out. When I agreed to review the God Loves Me book from I See Me!, I was not expecting much. However, when I received the book in the […]
Act of Valor
Yesterday my husband took me to go see Act of Valor. We were interested in seeing it even though most of the reviews we had heard were negative. What intrigued us was that those who had seen it and loved it were people who hold the military in high regard. We are a military family and we often grow tired of the seemingly endless stream of movies that make the military look like […]
