Chicken Soup for the Soul: Grieving and Recovery - Review and Giveaway


Another Chicken Soup For the Soul Giveaway for you!
This time, we are talking about Grieving and Recovery.

This is a great book for those that need help dealing with their emotions.
No, it is not a "self help" book, but more of a book full of 101 stories of how others have dealt with grieving... and recovering...

As with all the Chicken Soup Books, you have the quotes that are my favorite...
(Have you noticed yet how much I love quotes?)
They do not have the cartoons though.
Very appropriate, if you ask me...
Although people deal with grief differently, I did not think that they would be able to incorporate cartoons in this volume.

The quote that hit home the most for me?
" Heavy hearts, like heavy clouds in the sky, are best relived by the letting of a little water. - Antoine Rivarol"
(If you know me at all, I cry at the drop of a hat... and at times, I will feel the "need" for a good cry and I will watch a sad/sappy movie just for that reason.)

The chapters are broken down:
Making the Most of Memories
Finding Comfort
Helping Hands
Attitude Adjustments
At the End
Moving Forward
Across the Generations
New Beginnings
Healing in Time
Signs from Beyond


Now, I have not read this book from front to back...
Rather, I have been skipping around...
Smiling, getting teary eyed...
and of course, enjoying my serving of "Chicken Soup for the Soul"

Now, don't you want to win this?
To add to your library...
Or to give to a loved one that might need it?

What you will win:
A Copy of Chicken Soup for the Soul; Grieving and Recovering

Mandatory Entry:
(Please leave email if not visible in your profile)
What movie makes you cry?

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...

Hurry Up! Review & Giveaway

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!!!!...
