Book Review: Gabe’s Triumph by PM Smith #Gabe’s Triumph
I just finished reading Gabe’s Triumph by PM Smith, and all I can say is what a great book this is! What an absolutely fantastic author. According to Granny Apple Publishing, this is PM Smith’s very first book. I would say the author has a fantastic future ahead of her. About the book: Gabe’s Triumph is set in early 20thcentury rural Indiana. So we’re talking somewhat modern history here but not exactly because rural Indiana in the early 20th century was still well, very farm like. They did not have cell phones, malls, or super markets full of vegetables pre-peeled and washed. They had to hunt for their meat…

Review of Climb On Skin Care Products
I’m always looking for new skin care products that are all natural and won’t break my skin out worse than it already is. Climb On Skin Care is a product that works on very dry skin or hard to moisturize areas such as the feet, sides of your ankles, ball of the bottom of your foot, elbows and knees. According to Climb On, their products can be used for more than just dry skin, they claim it’s also good for burns, scrapes, rashes, cracked cuticles, diaper rash, poison ivy and other abrasions. I recently used the Climb bar for hives on my son who broke out right after Thanksgiving dinner and it helped a…

Review of Oliver’s Labels
First off I want to say that I rarely post a negative review and do everything I can do to work with a company before doing so. I want my readers and the companies I work with or will work with in the future to know that the products I review are things that I would normally use or things that I am interested in. I am sad that I have to post this review but my story must be told…because my readers deserve to know. I was offered a review of Oliver’s Labels, they create labels that are to be used on children’s items, things like clothing dishes and toys. I immediately…

Snikiddy Snacks Review!
> Recently I reviewed Snikiddy Snacks. I chose to review Mac n’ Cheese Puffs and also their Grilled Cheese Puffs. Both products were fresh and my kids loved eating them for an after school snack. As a mother it is important to me that I feed my children snacks that are healthy. I felt confident in feeding my children Snikiddy snacks because the ingredients list is easy to read, and does not contain high fructose corn syrup or hydrogenated oils. I loved that there were no foreign words to look up on Snikiddy’s ingredients list. Their products are corn syrup free, gluten & wheat free; there are no hydrogenated…

Flat Iron Experts Review – Avanti Flat Iron
I had the wonderful opportunity to review the following products from Flat Iron Experts: Avanti Nanoline Nano-Cermanic Flat Iron, retail $89.95 KQC Thermal Shine Spray, $13.99 I did not know much about flat irons before this review. The two flat irons I have at home were cheap brands that I bought for my daughter. I did not know how much damage can occur when using a cheaply made flat iron. What I learned through this review is that Avanti is the leading brand of flat irons on the market today and their products are amazing! I compared the Avanti to the two flat irons we had in the house. One…

Product Review: Melt Butter Alternative
Recently I had the opportunity to try Melt. I had been wanting to try this Melt Butter Alternative for a while now, and have heard good things about it. I was surprised to realize that Melt tastes a lot like butter, actually I really could not tell it was anything different. It is a rich and creamy butter alternative made from coconut, canola, palm fruit, soybean, and flax seed oil blend. Melt is so incredibly creamy and delicious that it almost seems too good to be true. However, Melt is good for you. Yes…you read that right. Melt is healthy! We all want find healthier options that actually…

Shutterfly Photo Services Perfect For Special Occasions
I have a senior this year, who is also a running start student. If you don’t know what running start is, it’s when a high school student attends college classes for high school & college credit. It is a great way for older teens to earn a college degree faster. I have been putting her party planning off because I honestly just hate the idea of her getting older. Graduating high school is a big deal, since she is the oldest she’s also the “first born” and my baby is already 15 years old. So, it’s be hard to say the least. With the school year ending in…
