The Guardian Duke book review/giveaway

The Guardian Duke book
review/giveaway

The Guardian Duke is award-winning novelist Jamie Carie’s most exciting story yet, a uniquely arranged Regency-era romantic adventure where hero and heroine know each other through written letters but have yet to meet.
Gabriel, the Duke of St. Easton, is ordered by the King to take guardianship over Lady Alexandria Featherstone whose parents are presumed dead after failing to return from a high profile treasure hunt. But Alexandria ignores this royal reassignment, believing her parents are still alive and duly following clues that may lead to their whereabouts. Gabriel, pressured by what are actually the King’s ulterior motives, pursues her across windswept England and the rolling green hills of Ireland but is always one step behind.

Sixty - Minute Shakespeare Play -Romeo and Juliet review/giveaway

review/giveaway

Want to ease kids into reading full-length Shakespeare? The Sixty-Minute Shakespeare series offers fast-paced condensations of six Shakespeare classics. Rather than retell, the series preserves the original play format and the Bard's language, while providing excellent footnotes to archaic words. It's a smart stepping stone to the real thing.
This 60 minute version of Romeo and Juliet is so much easier for students to understand and act out.  If you know of a teacher or youth director that has been wanting to put on this classic play then this is the book for you.  It explains how to easily decorate the set and how to change scenes without alot of  time and disruption.  I really love this book.  Even if you just want to read the wonderful story of Romeo and Juliet for your own pleasure, you will love it.  This is what I did.  I have always loved this play but there were parts I couldnt really visualize.  With this 60 min. breakdown you can better see the what and why's of the story.

Morphology Guessing Game Review

Morphology Guessing Game
Review

  I was asked to review the new, and very fun, family game of Morphology.  This awesome game is a fun board game requiring players to dip into a goody bag full of string, wooden sticks, glass beads and colored cubes to create a designated object chosen from a deck of cards. Correctly guess the words your teammates build to be the first team to reach the Final Lily Pad.  For more of a challenge (and a possible Facebook photo op!), you may be asked to flex your creative muscles by closing your eyes, using your weaker hand, or only pick 5 objects to use while conjuring your given word.  Each game includes 480 cards, 50 pieces of material, a timer, a die and team pieces.

Stella Blu Childrens Clothing review/giveaway

 review/giveaway
  I did a review for a great children's clothes shop named Stella Blu.  These are the most adorable and unique style of clothing that I have ever seen. I absolutely love these clothes.
 Stella Blu was founded in 2007 by Chicago resident, Erin Raymer.  Stella Blu features a range of onesies and tees with graphics inspired by bikers, hippies, and 80s-era Trapper Keepers, making a collection devoted to injecting a rock 'n' roll streetwear attitude to children's clothing. "By showing our children a freedom of expression," says Stella Blu founder Erin Raymer, "we can foster their confidence, inspire their imagination and ensure their individuality."

review

March will soon be here and in March we celebrate the Irish tradition of St. Patricks Day.  On this day the Irish, and everyone else will gladly wear the color green.  Anyone not wearing the color green will get pinched.  This is a long held tradition that the Irish have been known for.  Green is the color of shamrocks, and the favorite color of all the Irish.

Sweet Heart Chocolate Box from EdenFantasys – review

Cupids holiday is just around the corner and for this time of the year I like to give my husband something besides the usual boring card or heart covered boxers.  I am constantly looking for something different and fun. That's where EdenFantasys comes to the rescue.  They sell so many products that are perfect for Valentines Day, and of course any other day of the year, but love is their business and nothing says I love you like a special gift from EdenFantasys.

Build - A- Head Keychains review/giveaway

Build - A- Head Keychains
review/giveaway
Build-A-Head is company that sells custom made, larger than life, high quality plastic face cut outs.  These awesome products became a reality in 2009 while Lance Armstrong was touring through Silver City, New Mexico. The appearance by Armstrong stirred up excitement with the locals. This enthusiasm created the perfect opportunity for Build-A-Head’s first appearance. Armstrong’s Build-A-Heads sold out quickly becoming an instant fan favorite. Even Armstrong wanted one for himself after stopping to sign autographs and pose with the Build-A-Heads.
