Aravon Shoes Review and Giveaway! Here it is! I am so excited to be able to write this review and giveaway! Yes an Aravon giveaway!! When Drydock Footwear Group sent me these absolutely amazing Aravon shoes to review I was over the moon about it! I've never owned sandals that can pull off an office setting style sandal and then double for a night out with my husband to a nice restaurant and be comfortable the entire time type, but now I do!! I honestly had never heard of Aravon prior to being able to review these shoes but I had a feeling that it was going to be an awesome review and boy was I right!! I am totally in love with these sandals and the size was perfect to the size that I always wear! Sometimes when you order shoes online the sizes can change quite a bit but I am generally an 8 and sure enough these fit! One thing that I was extremely surprised about was that these sandals have Velcro straps to adjust the individual width of your foot! I … [Read more...]
Godefroy Heated Eyelash Curler Review!
Godefroy Heated Eyelash Curler Review! My thoughts on the Godefroy heated eyelash curler - when I received this product to review I was quite excited yet nervous at the same time to try it out! The Godefroy heated eyelash curler is shorter than a pencil so it actually would fit easily into a purse if you wanted to carry it around and it also has a lid to keep it protected. The bottom part of the curler comes off and that is where you put in one AAA battery and put the case back over it. Make sure that the lid on the top is off before you turn it on. The great thing is that there is a little light that turns green when it is on so you know it is working. I at first was a little apprehensive of putting heat to my eyelashes and when reading the directions, you are to apply pressure onto the eyelid when smoothing the eyelash with the curler. I figured it would either burn my eyelashes off or work and lo and behold it worked! It not only worked but it … [Read more...]

The Jesus Passages – Grow closer to the Lord through Journaling!
The Jesus Passages I am a huge fan of journalism I have kept a diary/journal since I was a young child. It is kind of funny because I always wrote out my journal entries to my daughter....YEARS before I even had her. One of my most favorite things to journal about is God. Recently I received a copy of The Jesus Passages by Ron Gannett for the purpose of this review. I was honestly excited for this book to arrive because I knew that it would help me expand on my thoughts....and my journal. In The Jesus Passages you will find 267 passages from the scriptures. After you read the scripture you will be able to ponder on what it means to you. There is a 'Hook' question that will make you really stop and think about the scripture and what it means to you. Then you can read 'Book' to see what that passage meant to the author. It is a great way for some extra insight into the scripture and can really get you to ponder on different aspects and passages. After the 'Book' is the … [Read more...]
God’s Warhorses! – A Story of Cancer and the Power of God!
God's Warhorses! My Thoughts on God's Warhorses - I lived a sheltered life as a child. I say that because I do not remember having sickness around me. My family (including all my extended family) was healthy. I had my parents, siblings, grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. Sickness and death was not something I ever really thought about. It was not until I was 21 that I first had an experience with Cancer. My Grandpa was diagnosed and it seemed that before anyone in the family could blink by Grandpa was gone from this world. My next experience with cancer was just last year. My Aunt told the family that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer. This rocked the family of course because everyone knew what had happened with Grandpa. It was just a few short weeks from his diagnoses until his death. It was very quick and rapid for him and heart breaking for the family. So far months later my Aunt is still doing great. She is finishing up her last radiation treatments before she … [Read more...]
Break Away Movie Review and Giveaway! Ends 5/16/13!
My Thoughts on Break Away I love watching uplifting movies. Movies that don't contain all the horror and violence that is so often in movies. Recently I received a copy of Break Away for the purpose of this review. I knew that this movie would be a great movie to watch with my family. When the title arrived we all cuddled on the couch to watch Break Away. It only took 5 minutes for this movie to hit home. There are so many people who have lost their jobs in this economy. Some of them who have lost their jobs have slithered in self pity and sat on the couch not doing anything about it....others did something extraordinary! That is exactly what Francois did without even realizing it. In Break Away Francois is laid off. With being laid off comes an unimaginable burden of keeping his family going and paying off the accumulating pile of debt that he has. Francois knows that he must do something and quickly applies for every job he comes across. During one of Francois's … [Read more...]
Chicken Soup for the Soul Raising Kids on the Spectrum Review and Giveaway – 3 Winners US and Canada Ends 5/13/13!
My Thoughts on Chicken Soup for the Soul Raising Kids on the Spectrum Thanks to Chicken Soup for the Soul I was recently sent a copy of their book Chicken Soup for the Soul Raising Kids on the Spectrum for the purpose of this review. A few years ago I worked as a substitute teacher. One of my substitute jobs ended up being a couple of weeks long and entailed working with an Autistic student. That was my first encounter with autism. To be honest he fascinated me. The knowledge that he had was out of this world. He just did not understand what he needed to do with all that brain power he had going on. It was amazing. Since then I have worked with and babysat many autistic children. Each of them amaze me with their knowledge! I am not a parent of an Autistic child but I do know many parents who have children with Autism and Asperger's. At times I know they feel very alone and it is hard for them to get understanding from other parents because no one … [Read more...]
