Just the other day, Broxton said "Mom, I love reading... It is so much fun!"  That right there, my friends... That right there --- MELTED this mama's heart!   Talk about music to my ears!!!!!
We have been so fortunate that we have been able to read and explore so many types of books and go on so many different adventures!  The latest book for us?  Tooth and Claw by Jim Arnosky.  To be honest, this is not a typical book I would have grabbed at the library, but we did learn so much about the animals inside!  

For example:  Did you know that a Jaguar is the largest cat in the Western Hemisphere?
Als0 - the name jaguar comes from a South American word that means "kills in a single bound."

SYNOPSIS:  
(Recommended ages:  6-10)
Lions and tigers and bears... and WOLVES- oh my!  Acclaimed nature writer and illustrator Jim Arnosky introduces awe-inspiring wild predators:  carnivores that survive by tooth and claw.  Follow the huge paw prints of big cats like the African lion and the speedy cheetah; of massive bears like the fierce grizzly; and the gray wolf- forerunner of your own pet dog.  One spectacular double gatefold plus two single foldouts present the animals up close and lifelike!  

The illustrations throughout the book are in direct competition with the information that we learned! I can not decide which one we like more!  So, I guess I will say it was a tie!!!!
You can learn more about Jim Arnosky (the author) by visiting his site.
We have been very pleased with his work, and you can read our review of  Shimmer and Splash to see why!

MelanSol All Natural Sunscreen - Review and Giveaway

Image
I LOVE going to the pool, but I normally get burnt. With that being said, I KNOW I am not the only one :) I am always looking to see what other sun protection is out there. With Memorial Day around the corner, I know that many people will be outside enjoying the weather. I wanted to share with you a product that we will be using Memorial Day, as well as throughout the summer! Also, I never really gave much thought, but I always said I needed "sunblock." Then, I got to thinking... is sunBLOCK what I need? I thought that the sun was supposed to be good, you know... Vitamin D and all? Thank goodness MelanSol explained it to me! MelanSol is a sunscreen, it allows 3-10 5 of the suns UV Rays to reach your skin. Remember, the Vitamin D? See, I knew I was not going crazy!!! You know I am not one for quoting all sorts of stuff from their site, so you can click over to the MelanSol FAQ to learn more, but I did want to share this with you: From their site: Q. Why should you adopt...

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... ...

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...
