God's Love Letters to You  A 40-Day Devotional Experience By Larry Crabb  Rating: 2 Stars God's Love Letters to You, is a 40-day devotional journey. Each day begins with a Bible verse, continues with a one page short devotional, followed by reflection questions and a closing prayer.  From the title I was anticipating the pages to be filled with warm nuggets of truth about God's love, however, it seemed to be lacking for me. It does speak of God's love for us, but some of the devotions were more negative than others.  God's Love Letters to You is Dr. Crabb's interpretation of what God might say to you in conversation about the scriptures. I understand that we all interpret God's Word in our own way every time we study the Bible, but I think for me personally, I'd have rather just studied the Bible in and by its' self!  I'm sorry to say that my favorite part of this book is its front cover - it looks old fashioned, s

God has blessed me with an awesome marriage! My Husband is the sweetest, most loving guy I have ever known. He always treats me with the up most honor and respect, even though many times, I don't deserve it! He is strong, a man of godly christian character, always ready and willing to do whats right! When I first saw  UNION 28 MARRIAGE APPAREL , I thought, "This is neat!" Many people in today's world try to tear the foundation of marriage apart and belittle the idea of marriage. They complain about their spouse, what they do or don't do...... I love that UNION 28 MARRIAGE APPAREL is making a positive statement about marriage for husbands and wives who want to honor each other & believe that their husband/wife truly does ROCK! Marriage was created to be a blessing and a little kindness, selflessness, and respect goes a long way......... When you allow yourself to believe that your spouse rocks, you will free yourself from the downward sp

Use it up, wear it out, make do, or do without!  Money Secrets of the Amish  by: Lorilee Craker Finding True Abundance in Simplicity, Sharing, and Saving! rating: 5 Stars "Money Secrets of the Amish" by author Lorilee Craker, was a quick read. At first, I was a little bored, but by the time I got a few chapters in, I was really enjoying it and didn’t want to put the book down! What I love about this book isn't so much the information – there isn’t much that I don't already do - but I love the enthusiastic way in which the author shares it. Lorilee Craker hasn't just found ways to save money – her joy and excitement at the fun of it is all throughout the book. Originally, I chose this book because of my love for living the simple lifestyle. But, in these hard economic times, who couldn't use a little extra scratch at the end of the month? You're not going to find any truly mind boggling ideas or get rich quick schemes in the pages of this book, but you

Save Your Marriage in Five Minutes a Day by: Bonnie Jacobson and Alexia Paul "Simple Strategies to Transform Your Relationship" Rating: 2 Stars Save Your Marriage in Five Minutes a Day is about quick (5 minute) methods of improving a relationship that can be used by anyone. By incorporating these small gestures into each day, one can make a great difference in their marriage. The book is broken into sections that addresses issues such as communication, children, physical and sexual relationships.  The Authors often include a possible dialogue for each technique they recommend. However, it seemed that the way it was worded was how you would speak to a child, not a spouse and I don't see the conversations happening in real life. In these "Say This" sections of the book, the spouse who is being confronted with something immediately agrees with what the other is saying and they 'ride off into the sunset, and live happily ever after

 Everyone With A Child Should Read This..... Car Seat Safety: The Benefits of Extended Rear Facing (ERF)  What is Extended Rear Facing? Extended rear-facing simply means to keep a child in the rear-facing position after the child reaches 1 year and 20 lbs. 20 lbs is the minimum requirement for turning a child to the forward-facing position (by Ontario law). While you can choose to forward-face at the current minimum of 20 lbs, it is highly recommended that you keep your child rear-facing until the upper limits of the seat are reached. Your child will reach these upper limits when one of the following conditions occurs: 1. The child reaches the rear-facing weight limit 2. The top of the child's head is within one inch of the top of the shell of the car seat. Push down on the padding and measure with the plastic shell. Why should I keep my child Rear Facing? It is the safest way for anyone to ride. Need proof? *From 1992 through June of 1997, only 9 properly restraine

Hair Without Tangles Ever since my daughter has had hair long enough to comb, she has had tangles. I am talking about big tangles that would take me 20-30 min. or more to comb out, and with her crying in pain the whole time! In the past, I've tried ever kind of product out there on the market to get rid of tangles.....NOTHING worked! Then, I tried Shaklee Revitalizing Shampoo and Replenishing Conditioner. To my amazement it WORKED! My daughter has long fine hair, and she acts like a tomboy most days, but since she washes and conditions her hair with Shaklee, I haven't had to spend time combing out tangles and she doesn't dread getting her hair combed anymore!  It worked so well for her, that my husband and I use it too. I have thick hair, and it leaves my hair so soft and silky! I like the clean smell of it and best of all, It is all natural.  You can check out Shaklee Hair Care Products here . WHAT’S IN ProSanté?

5 years ago, I married my best friend, my lover, my soul mate, my protector, the one I do life with.... I thought I'd take you down memory lane and share some pictures.....enjoy! This photo book was created with Zno   - I used their 'free trial' link which was a 8x8 Layflat book, hardcover, 20 pages for $5 plus shipping. I added an extra 10 pages and the finished product including shipping was $25 total. Overall, it's a nice book, the only complaint is that the pages are extremely thick - almost like a kids cardboard, hard page book, which in turn makes the entire book thicker. Shipping and quality was great!  Where do you order Photo books from? Pros? Cons? Leave me a comment - I'd love to hear what you use and like!
