The Mailbox - book review


I love to read and I think I am starting to get back into my "groove" of reading!
I used to read alot, but now...
It is more Curious George with Broxton versus books for me.
Nothing is wrong with that, of course, I would not change it for anything!

I was able to read THE MAILBOX by MARYBETH WHALEN.
I started it and finished it in 2 days!
It was a great read and a pretty easy one as well!

Are you headed to the pool or beach?
This would be a perfect quick read for you then!

I enjoyed the story and imagine knowing that it was based on a REAL mailbox in North Carolina!
The mailbox is a sweet story about this one mailbox...
Out in the middle of nowhere!
On the outside it says, "Kindred Spirit" and locals and tourists all visit to leave a letter for the "Kindred Spirit!"
The mailbox is filled with notebooks, loose leaf notebook paper and plenty of pens. You go visit and write whatever you need to say to the "Kindred Spirit." No one reads it but them... and no one knows who the "Kindred Spirit" is!
Besides this just being a book about some mailbox, it is a sweet story about love...
Lindsey visited Sunset as a teenager...
She visited the mailbox and since started a tradition! Every year, she returns to Sunset with her family and she makes her yearly trek to the mailbox to write her letter about the previous year. Once Lindsey and her husband divorce, she has to face new territory! Let down her guard and learn to love, or stay guarded and full of pain!

This book was a page turner...
I had a feeling that I knew who the "Kindred Spirit" was, but I had to keep reading to see if I was right or not.

I really hope that Marybeth Whalen writes more books, this was a good one!
Maybe she will even explore focusing another book on one of the other characters next time!

    Sounds like a really fun read.

    I used to have time to read. I miss those times.

    I LOVE to read! I wish I had more time to do it - as it is my husband gets aggravated when we're in bed at night and I pick up my book!

PowerMat - Review and Giveaway

Image
Please let me go ahead and just say... I think/KNOW that the PowerMat will be one of the HOTTEST items this year! Have you heard of this? I mean, seriously! This is Awesome and I am using that since I can not think of any other way to explain it... (Are there really words that would explain something this cool?!) Okay, let me just cut to the heart of it... The PowerMat is just that... A MAT full of POWER! It is a little bit longer than an average book... Thinner than a cell phone. It looks like a skateboard (in my opinion.) and it charges 3 different technological gadgets at once! Do you know what that means? You NO LONGER need 3 cords, no more messy tangles... Just one cord to plug the mat in and you are done!!!! I was sent the PowerMat for review and I am so very impressed! The PowerMat can charge 3 different items... Marc and I have blackberries... (They can now BOTH charge on here AT THE SAME TIME!) We also have several IPods ... The docking station for the IPod can charge my...

Fire Fly Toothbrushes - #giveaway

Image
Is it a hassle to get your younger kids to brush their teeth? Broxton loves it and asks throughout the day if he can go and brush his... Now that he has a new toothbrush!!! We were sent a couple toothbrushes from Fire Fly Toothbrushes and I just love the concept! With Fire Fly, they light up! You just press the button and they light up for a solid minute. What we do here is a little system. First, Broxton brushes his teeth for the first minute. (just a teeny bit of toothpaste) Then, I brush the next minute (once again, minimal toothpaste.) Finally, he gets to brush them a final minute (no toothpaste.) The system is working and his teeth are clean! During the day, when he wants to brush them.. He can, but with no toothpaste. He really just likes the way it lights up. Doesn't hurt that the toothbrush is a hot wheels car!!! He also has one to leave at my parents house.. It is a snoopy one and lights up blue! Talk about a cool item to show the grandparents!!! Not only c...

The Holidays are getting closer and closer! Some may want the days leading up to them to "Hurry Up!" So, with that in mind... I want to kick things off with a pretty cool giveaway!!!!!!! Hurry Up! The Dice Game is kicking things off for us... Check back daily to see what is in store!! Hurry Up! The Dice Game, by Random Line is a hit around here already! True enough, Marc and I did not follow the directions, exactly as we were supposed to, but that was because I did not read them all the way! In our defense, we just wanted to see how much fun it would be to prepare for when the boys are here again! (Note, it will be a big hit! I can see it already!!) This game is super fun and as the name says... Hurry Up!!!! You have 6 die and 6 challenges... One dice is blue... and that adds for lots of fun!!! You only have 30 seconds to complete the challenge... and you might think that 30 seconds is a long time, but in actuality, it is NOT as long as you need it for some challenge!!!!...
