Now that we have a house, we are outside so much more now than we used to be.... I KNOW I need to do better. A friend of mine actually told me that I needed to start a routine, to keep me from aging... You know what she recommended?    Olay Regenerist .   Olay has been a name I have known for what seems to be a million years, so they obviously know what they are doing...  I have to say, I absolutely LOVE the light, subtle scent of the Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream.  It is not overpowering, but you can smell it.  ( I am not really a fan of totally unscented things, so this is great.) ...

As much as I am always looking to add to our library, I am also thinking about adding to the library for him to enjoy as he gets older too.  I was offered the chance to review The Tattered Prayer Book by Ellen Bari and of course, I jumped on it.  It is a book that starts the introduction of the Holocaust for children aged 6-10.  I read it and then shared it with the 12 year old when they came to visit.  (He is the reader of the older boys and is always on a quest to learn more.) The Tattered Prayer Book tells of a young boy that basically smuggles in a prayer book when he and his family come to the United States.  Years later, his daughter finds it and after asking questions, the fa...

Each night we go to bed, Broxton enjoys reading a couple books.  Of course, I love this time to snuggle with him, so I am always ready to read a couple to him.  The one we have been reading lately is Are You My Friend Today by Gyo Fujikawa .  That is the one thing that I really love about being a blogger....  I love that Broxton and I get to explore all different books and we get to share them with you!! This book was not one that I have ever heard of and to be honest, I probably would not have grabbed it at the store... but it is cute and I am glad we have it to add to our collection!!! This book shows the difference in all sorts of kids and what all goes on for them daily... It star...

I am glad you are back to join me in another review for my Dig Into Reading....  We have made it a point to try and read several books a day.... Broxton has even decided that he needed his own library card, so we have been visiting the library and reading about different things too!!! The latest book? Bedtime Stories and Prayers blessings for bedtime. This is such a cute book!!! The first page of the book is a dedication page... Perfect for gift giving! I personally think this would be a great gift to give at a baby shower! Bedtime Stories and Prayers is over 100 pages.   Each page is beautifully illustrated. It is full of color, but not so overwhelming to distract from reading at bedti...

Opinions expressed are my own and are NOT influenced by monetary compensation. I am always up for trying new stuff. Broxton will try things from time to time... But if you try and MAKE him.... forget about it. If you offer and then go on about your business, he will most likely try it. (At least if you are anyone that is NOT his daddy!  ha ha ha) We were sent the Macro Greens/ Miracle Reds products for review and I was not really sure what to expect.   It was a powdered mix and Broxton was eager to help me out. Of course, they package it totally marketing it to kids...  So, he wanted to try it before I even offered it! The directions say to add a little water before to the mix to try and turn it into a liquid before adding milk or whatever you plan to do with it. It was not tha...
