Beam N Read Review and Giveaway – 10 Winners!!
My Thoughts on Beam N Read I am an avid reader. Each night I love cuddling up in bed with a good book. The only down fall is my hubby does not like it. It is hard for him to sleep when I have the table lamp on. This has been an ongoing battle since we were married. I have tried those lights that clip to books and such but to be honest they just become more of a hassle then they are worth. Recently I was sent a Beam N Read for the purpose of this review. I was so excited to try it out because it finally gave me something that would help me to read at night with out keeping my husband awake. The Beam N Read goes around your neck and as soon as you flip the light out it starts to shine. You have the option of turning on 3 lights or 6. The 3 light option works best when I am trying to read and is dim enough for my husband. There is also light covers that help to dim the light for him. I can use the light with the regular clear cover or I can put a red or orange cover over the light. It … [Read more...]

Andy Z’s The Grand Scream of Things Review!
My thoughts on Andy Z’s The Grand Scream of Things This is a very unique twist to a musical play on cd. I haven’t ever heard of anything quite like this. A cd meant for ages 8-12 is such a rare gem to find. My kids are 7 & 8 and even though they still enjoy the music they have always listened to as toddlers, they are starting to really enjoy music and books for “bigger” kids as well. I am fortunate to be able to homeschool my kids and found this cd to be a great way to incorporate a little music for the day. There are many different styles of music being played in this story. I set the kids up with some play dough at the table and put the cd on. To my surprise my kids hardly touched the play dough and within the first 10 minutes they were sitting on the floor listening to the story and using their imaginations as to what the characters looked like and playing it out in the minds. Being a musical kept them engaged with the story line, it was so fun to watch them get … [Read more...]

Feel Your Best as a Woman!
Breast implants are not something that I have ever thought about before as I can say my family looks into breast reductions more often then looking into adding more! However recently breast implants are something I have really been looking into as my friend is planning on getting some very soon. For the past few years it seems my friends are being diagnosed with breast cancer left and right. It is a heart breaking disease and for some losing their breasts is very hard. Particularly for one of my dear friends who is now cancer free and in great health! She is struggling to come to terms with no longer having breasts and has decided to do something about it! Together we have recently been looking into breast implants. Surprisingly we found that breast implants no longer cost an arm and a leg and are now for more then the rich and famous.
