Chicken Soup for the Soul From Lemons to Lemonade #Review and #Giveaway Ends 9/19/13 – 3 Winners – US and Canada!
** I was provided with a copy of this title for the purpose of this review. However, my own opinion was used and not influenced in any way. Chicken Soup for the Soul From Lemons to Lemonade Sometimes when life gets you down it is really hard to stay positive. It just seems that there is depressing things everywhere in life. Between sickness, watching the news and financial hardships things are just not going good for many people. I learned early in life the importance of positive thinking. Sometimes I make my family mad because they say that I am "too positive". To be honest it's not like I'm unaffected by bad things. I just try really hard to not let the bad take over my mind. For example every time I start to think about something depressing in my life I stop and count at least 10 blessings that I have in my life. Focusing on the blessings can be a great way to keep your mind positive. I just always remember that all I can do is try my best and God will take care of … [Read more...]

Fantasy Coloring Posters My daughter has a fascination with dragons. About a year ago I can remember that I was enjoying the sound of her playing outside. She was prancing around the backyard flapping her imaginary wings and pretending to breath fire. Since that day I have heard her play 'dragons' many, many times. In fact just two days ago she was flapping around the family room breathing fire to kill imaginary prey. She then cuddled up on the couch with me to "eat" her prey. My daughter lives in her own little world sometimes and I can honestly say that it is nice to join her in her world sometimes.

National Tooth Fairy Day – Rembrandt Stain Dissolving Strips #Review and #Giveaway! – 2 Winners!
** I was sent a box of Rembrandt Stain Dissolving Strips for the purpose of this review. However, my own opinion was used and not influenced in any way. Rembrandt Stain Dissolving Strips If you would have asked me 6 months ago if I was concerned with the color of my teeth I would have told you no. But, I am constantly trying to change myself and help to boost my self esteem. About two months ago I decided that I was going to start focusing on things that I wanted to change. One of them was the color of my teeth. I have never had 'overly yellow' teeth and I attribute this to not smoking and not drinking coffee. But, upon closer inspection of my teeth they were not perfectly white either. Needless to say I have been purchasing 'whitening' toothpaste but I have not yet purchased any whitening strips. That is why I was very excited to give Rembrandt Stain Dissolving Strips a try. These strips intrigued me because I don't have to remove them. I can place them on my teeth quickly … [Read more...]
