I have mentioned before that I am a steward for our local Little Free Library... I was so happy to have the opportunity to work with them... and the big day is almost here!  This Saturday, June 21st at 1pm - We are doing the dedication and will be putting the books in there!
Before the dedication, I did want to take a minute to thank the people that helped me make this day possible:
My friend Alissa at Planet of the Apels.  She was the one who got me in touch with the correct people to make this day happen!
 The BookWorm of Powder Springs.  This place is awesome...  It is a book store of new and used books... and they donated books to help get the library started and we are already working to make sure that we work together to keep things going!
Our Local Home Depot.   They supplied us with some of the items we needed to get the library installed, as well as with a bit of manual labor in getting things taken care of.
Broxtons former K3 teacher, Mrs. Chickvara.  She donated books from her class to get the library going! 
Atlanta Harley Davidson.  They are not only allowing us to put the library there on their property, they are going to be working with me to keeping the library in great condition... and it all starts THIS SATURDAY at their KIDS DAY!!!!

Home Depot was great and jumped on board to get things going great!

The last thanks is the biggest.  
A HUGE thank you to Marc for getting the library built for me!  I asked him to help me out and he jumped right into it with no questions asked!  He was able to build it for me... and then install it at the Harley Dealership for me to make sure it was set and ready to go for Saturday!  

I really hope that this Little Free Library has great success in our community.  In a day where technology is everywhere, I am fighting so hard for hard copy books not to die away!  Not to mention that seeing a child reading is one of the greatest things you can witness!
Don't forget- this Saturday, June 21st... 
Harley Davidson of Atlanta.  
Little Free Library Dedication at 1 pm.  
Come hang out and enjoy kids day!  
(Kids day will have arts and crafts and even a BLOW UP MECHANICAL BULL!)  

We are going with a "Book or a Buck" 
Feel free to bring either one to donate and help the library be a great success!

    I'm glad you opted to do this. My husband looked at me and said, "What are you trying to get me into?" He's been so busy with the Flock House project, and has a show in the fall he's been trying to get his stuff ready for that. I think The Little Library is such a fun thing to have around. You do a lot of book reviews, so you could add a book at times.

    That is just like the box my son and I saw in front of a house (by the street) near a park we go to... ha! I wonder if it's the same, it must be. How cool! I love that you did this too!

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

Image
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!!!!...
