Gabby God's Little Angel - Sheila Walsh - Author - Marina Fedotova - Illustrator


Gabby God's Little Angel is an amazing children's book.  This book is an adorable way to teach children about angels.  This book does an excellent job explaining to children that God is watching over them.  I love how it does this on a level that is perfect for little ones to understand.  I think that this book clearly explains to children without making things overly complicated.  My daughter is 4 and clearly understood the ideas behind this book  The book is very heartwarming and put a smile on my face.  My daughter and I enjoyed the lovely story too.  The first thing that caught my eye was the beautiful illustrations on the front and inside the book.  The characters are so adorable!  My daughter knew that this book was her's as soon as I pulled it out of the package.  She was drawn to the adorable pictures.    I would highly suggest this for a great read for your child.  I enjoyed it myself too.

Sheila Walsh is the Author of God's Little Princess Series.






I received this book in the mail today compliments of BookSneeze.


Here is some information if you are interested in purchasing "Gabby God's Little Angel"  for your little one.

OXO Candela Review


I just received these really nice OXO Candela's in the mail compliments of bzzagent.  I have been so excited to try them.  I immediately pulled them out of the box and set them up.  They are extremely simple to use.  I was very happy when I saw that the only work it takes is to push a button on the bottom to turn it on and the occasional charge on the base.  It's very simple.  My favorite part about these is that they don't get hot!  I have a 4 and a 6 year old and we rarely light candles because I am too afraid of them trying to get ahold of them.  The outside of the Candela doesn't even feel warm.  These are a super alternative because they still give you the look of a candle, but without all the dangers.  The light that they give off isn't extremely bright, but I really like that.  I don't want a candle that is annoyingly bright.  They give any room a nice warm look or even an outdoor setting.  I will continue to use these and update everyone again soon.

Join Cerra.com- relax - and get a free sample

I was recently introduced to Cerra.com through SheSpeaks.  I have taken some time to look around the website and it is very neat.  It is a way for you to help yourself pretty much find time for yourself and find ways to think about "you" and be happy.  When I first was introduced to this website I sat and thought about it for a minute and realized that I really do need to make more time just for myself.  Cerra.com is a way to help you do that.  I have had a chance to enter a few journal entries so far on the website and have enjoyed it.  I have really enjoyed being able to take a few minutes to think about my life and myself.  I think everyone needs to take time to do that.

I will be doing a review of some of the products available on Cerra.com soon and can't wait to tell you about them.

Take a look around at the products too.  I personally think that the pebble candle set looks really neat.

Mat Kearney's Album "Young Love" Review




I was recently chosen to review Mat Kearney's new album.  The album is called "Young Love." I honestly will tell you that I knew nothing about the artist before receiving the CD.  I do like to listen to all types of music and was excited when I heard the upbeat sound of this album,  I really enjoyed it.  The first track on the album is called "Hey Mama."  It's really a catchy song and I enjoyed it.  I then listened to the rest of the CD and I enjoyed the rest of it as well.  One of my other favorites from the album is "Ships in the Night."  His music is very heartfelt.  The smooth sound of the songs are a great choice if you enjoy soft rock.  I will be placing this CD in the car to listen to because I enjoyed it so much.  The CD included the following catchy songs.

Hey Mama
Ships in the Night
Count on Me
 Sooner or Later
Chasing the Light
Learning to Love Again.
 Down
She Got the Honey
Young Dumb and in Love
Rochester






I thought it was interesting when I found out that Mat Kearney has also done quite a bit of music in many popular TV shows.  Some of those shows include Grey's Anatomy and 30 Rock.

You can check out the video of "Hey Mama" from the album, but don't forget to tell me what you think.  I enjoyed the video when I watched it.

If you enjoy the video you can also see Mat Kearney on tour in the upcoming months.  Check out his website and see if he will be at an Event near you.

I received a copy of Mat Kearny's albumn compliments of One2OneNetwork in return for my honest review.

Old Navy Jeans Sample and Share



I was recently chosen to be part of a sample and share compliments of Crowdtap.  This sample and share was for Old Navy Jeans.  I really like Old Navy Jeans.  They offer many styles and a variety of different colors too.  My goal was to find a pair of jeans for myself that fit great.  I sometimes have a difficult time because I'm only 5 feet tall.  I brought my mom with me this morning to get a free pair of jeans too.  We had fun looking at all the different styles.  She is also about 5 feet tall, so she was looking to find a pair of jeans that fit well also!



My mom trying on jeans at Old Navy!

We browsed around the store for awhile and picked up a few pairs of jeans to try on.  We tried out a few different styles.  They have a lot of really cute skinny jeans, trouser jeans, book cut, flair, and cropped jeans.  After trying on a number of pairs we both selected a pair of the Bootcut.  We both found that this style was great because it comes in different lengths.  We were both thrilled to find them in a short length!  Woohoo.  The ones that I decided on are really comfortable and soft.  I can't wait until the weather cools down, so I can wear them this fall!

This was a lot of fun to participate in!  If you aren't a member of Crowdtap and want to join you can find out more and how to join at the link below.  It's a fun website where you get to complete short surveys, participate in discussions, and sometimes try neat products!

This is the bootcut pair that I decided on!
