Chicken Soup for the Soul: Food and Love #giveaway

If you need a good for the heart book... I have a new one for you!
As we know, I get to review books from Chicken Soup for the Soul..
Then, I also get to host great giveaways as well :)

Ready to hear about the latest book?

Chicken Soup for the Soul, Food and Love.
At first, I wasn't so sure about it..
I mean, Food and Love?  I was thinking more along LOVING FOOD..
I don't need to read about that, as I know I do... Hey, my whole family does!
Then, I slowed down and looked again..
Food AND Love...
As the author states in the introduction:  "It's how we show our love for family and friends and create an environment of caring and stability during an uncertain time."  If you think about it that way, many memories do include food!
That being said, let me tell you the chapters in this book:

Chapters:
1- Learning to Cook
2- Just Like Moms
3- Table for Two
4- Comfort Food
5- Little Helpers
6- In Memory Of
7- A Bite of Fun
8-  The Taste of Tradition
9- Like Lessons in the Kitchen
10- Always Room for Dessert


I really enjoyed the book, as there are several great stories..
Some touch the heart... some have you laughing...
But what I really thought was neat about this book?

Since it deals with FOOD and Love..
There were some recipes at the end of some of the stories..
It was cute.. Like not only did you read a great story from a "friend" you also got a "family" recipe to try out!

As with all of the Chicken Soup Books..
I love the quotes above each story..
One that I loved in this book:
"When someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure."  Author Unknown.

Now, if you are ready to add this to your library..
(Thinking of it as a great gift idea...)

    One of my favorite memories is helping my friend Dorothy make bread! She had a little loaf pan for me when I was a girl!

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

Momma Must Have - Exergen Temporal Thermometer- Review and Giveaway

Image
As we all know, it can sometimes be a bit difficult to take the temperature of a sick child. Hey, some adults are known to be big babies... The longer they have to wait, the fussier they become. Well, with the Exergen Temporal Scanner ... Wait is something that can be eliminated! Why do I say that? Just because the wait is merely 2 seconds! During that time, you will already be finished a gift giveaway blog hop, exergen temporal scanner, mom must have, R nd moving on to something else. I really like the ease of the Exergen Thermometer. It has a soft tip on it that you gently swipe across the forehead of your "patient." There are two things that make this stand out compared to others that I have used. One - If you are sweating, you can place it behind your ear to get your temperature. Two - There is a light on both sides to show you that it is on. I like that, as I sometimes worry if it is on or not... You know how I can be! First, remove the protective cap... Turn it on...
