Liquid Chalkers 4pack Review

   Liquid Chalkers are a very bold, white liquid chalk that comes in a pen, there are 4 pens in a package. With the pen you are able to get a thinner, sharper line if you are writing or drawing.  If you prefer a thicker line just lay the pen a little on its side as you write.  I received these Liquid Chalkers for review from Paper & Twine and they are excellent for writing on a dry erase board, car windows, chalk boards and mirrors.

VeggieTales Celery Night Fever DVD Review/Giveaway

  It's the 70's again---disco balls and bell bottom jeans.  Well, it really isn't the 70's again, but for the gang from VeggieTales the memories of a great band called, the Groovy Brothers need to become friends again so that Celery Park can be saved.  Actor Terry Crews provides the voice for Bruce Onion who wants to tear down Celery Park and build a parking lot.  But with help from Laura Carrot and Junior Asparagus, hopefully they can help reunite the Groovy Brothers and raise money to buy the park from Mr. Onion.

 I received this delightful movie to review and my grandson wants to watch it over and over.  The music and songs are upbeat and fun and the VeggieTales characters are perfect to watch.

Rtgs Micro LED String Lights

 I received a string of Rtgs Micro LED String Lights that are clear, beautiful lights.  These lights come with 20 bright lights on a 6.5 ft. silver, really thin wire.  There are 4 inches inbetween each bulb and at the end of the light wire there is another foot of clear wire that connects to the battery box which takes 3 AA batteries,

  The micro lights are great to use for decorating jars, use around picture frames, wrap around indoor plants and many, many other decorating projects.  I used the lights to add to a clear jar and I switch it on at night to be used as a night light for my child.  The lights are bright enough to give a touch of security in his room, but not to bright to keep him awake.

KidOFit Shoes Review

   KidOFit shoes are the best!  I was allowed to review a pair of KidOFit shoes for my 2 year old grandson and I was very excited.  KidOFit shoes for children are great because they are designed so that your child will be as close to walking barefoot as they can get.  The flat flexible sole mimics walking barefoot.  You can also view your child's toes from underneath the shoe.  This is a wonderful way to make sure the shoe is fitting right and not hurting their foot.  Problems with your feet are usually caused by poorly fitted or designed shoes.

Green Virgin Soap Nuts Laundry Wash Review

  I was allowed the opportunity to review a great liquid laundry wash from Green Virgin Soap Nuts and I will tell you it works great and it very well worth the money.  If you are not familiar with soap nuts I will explain to you how they work.
 Soap Nuts come from the Chinese Soap Berry Tree where they are dried in the sun and then from the shell - which contains saponin - they remove all the solids, using only water, and this is how we get the liquid wash.  There are no chemicals in the soap nuts so this means there are no chemicals in the liquid wash.

  I was allowed to review a beautiful picture from Fulcrum Gallery and I had a very difficult time choosing which of the many hundreds of art designs to choose from.  There are so many different styles for different rooms and different tastes.  I recently re-did my living room and I am going with a new modern look of art.  When I decided on the picture to review, the Francesco Agresti - Belvedere I,  I knew it would look great in my home.

  It's the end of July - summer is in full swing - the kids were bored to death until......I received a Boondoggle Lanyard Maker from MyFBM !  The kids were so excited to try out the latest lanyard maker.  As soon as we opened the box they began making all different colors and styles of keychains.  This kit comes with everything needed to make darling keychains ; plastic key rings, flat plastic lace and pony beads.

Anytime Costumes - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Costume Review

  Halloween is nearly here - can you believe it?  This year has gone by so quickly.  With Halloween we usually have costume parties, school parties and trick-or-treating.  When my little ones dress up, I like them to look cute and realistic.  The school only allows the children to wear non-scary, non-gory and costumes that are funny or cartoon character types.  This is why I chose Anytime Costumes to look for my grandson's Halloween suit.  Anytime has hundreds of costumes which include storybook characters, scary, gory, funny and realistic ones.  I trust Anytime because they have been providing costumes and accessories to the public for over 50 years.

Persecuted - the Book Review/Giveaway

   I was allowed to review the book -"Persecuted" by Robin Parrish and I really enjoyed every minute of this book.  This is a story of John Luther, a well known evangelist, who wants to share the Gospel with the world.  Congress is out to prevent John from doing just that and they will stop at nothing to see that he does.
  The US government wants a religious-equality bill to pass so that every religion will be equal to each other.  John Luther knows that there is only one religion that God justifies and that is Christianity and religion should never be controlled by government.  John stands in the way of the bill passing because he is spreading God's word all over the world which causes them to try and take John out.

The Perfect Summer DVD Review

  The Perfect Summer is a great film for the family.  I reviewed this movie on dvd and I loved it.
  In this movie Jake, played by Adam Horner, has just lost his dad and he and his family are living in Chicago. Jake's mom decides it would be best if she moved the family to a small surfing town.  Jake is really upset about this move because he has to leave all of his friends behind.  After they do move, Jake can quickly see he doesn't fit in with all the surfers.  Jake has never been involved in any sports so surfing looks pretty hard to him.

  How many times have you been to a special event or on a date and just happened to look in the mirror and notice mascara all over your eyes or on your face?  I have had this embarrassing situation happen several times and I was definitely horrified.  Just knowing everyone had been looking at my face like that was not a good thing.

   I was asked to review the movie, "When Calls The Heart - The Dance",  and I feel it is a great family movie and one that will be enjoyed by everyone.  In this movie the new coal miners have just moved into Coal Valley and they quickly bring back memories to the women, of the husbands they’ve lost.  One of the miners, Billy Hamilton- played by Andrew Walker, takes an interest to Elizabeth - played by Erin Krakow.  With all the new miners in town, Abigail -played by Lori Laughlin, reminds all the widows that life must go on.  The very pregnant widow, Carla Noonan, begins to have complications with her pregnancy, and their are no midwives so Abigail has to care for Carla.

Dr. Kay's Back Brace with Removable Lumbar Pad Review

   I recently reviewed a wonderful product - Dr. Kay's Back Brace with Removable Lumbar Pad from Tomoson.  I have a lower back problem that flares up several times a year.  I usually experience the back pain after I lift something heavy or turn wrong.  These reason's are why I was so happy to try the Dr. Kay's Back Brace.
 

  This brace has dual elastic wrap straps for custom fit and compression.  The brace will fit waist sizes 28'' to 50'' and the lumbar pad in the middle is removable so you can use it if you need to or remove it if not.  I choose to wear the pad in my brace when I am lifting just for extra cushioning in this area.  

Ragamuffin- on DVD Based on the Life of Rich Mullins Review/Giveaway

  There are certain movies that make my "top shelf" list and Ragamuffin definitely made this list.  When I was asked to review this movie for my readers I didn't know what a wonderful movie I would be watching.  This movie had me crying for many reasons, sometimes it was the sadness and other times it was because I knew God was there beside me, watching it to the end and the happiness I felt touched me deeply.
  Ragamuffin is the true story of Rich Mullins.  Rich was best known for his great hit, "Awesome God".  The beginning of this movie takes place when Rich was a child and he lived with his family on a tree farm in Indiana.  It seems like everything Rich does - he does wrong -or at least his father treats him that way.  Rich naturally learns to play the piano and sing which doesn't please his father who wants him to be a farmer.
