Exergen Temporal Scanner Review & Giveaway Exergen Temporal Scanner Review & Giveaway

Mel’s Thoughts: Since having my boys, I’ve always dreaded taking their temps, especially when they’re little, and you can’t get them to hold the oral themometer in their mouth.  I don’t feel that taking an axillary temp is as accurate, so I’ve always gone with the dreaded rectal temps when they’re little. ... [Read more of this review]

Vital Earth Traditions | Review and Giveaway Vital Earth Traditions | Review and Giveaway

In my longing to go all natural, not only am I attempting to adjust how we eat, I am also seeking out green, all-natural, organic products for health and beauty.

Orglamix Organic Minerals Makeup | Review and Giveaway Orglamix Organic Minerals Makeup | Review and Giveaway

I discovered mineral makup two years ago when someone gave me an expensive name brand as a gift. Once I tried it, I never went back to regular foundation and cream blush. The trouble is, mineral makeup is expensive. Have you seen the prices?! Orglamix is so much cheaper in price, than the national leading brands, but it is not cheaper in quality! I... [Read more of this review]

TOS Crew: Graphics Toolbox TOS Crew: Graphics Toolbox

Designing and making graphics, buttons, headers, and other kinds of images is something I love, love, love to do.  It’s just a niche for me, an outlet of creativity.  When I heard we were going to review Graphics Toolbox for the Crew, I was pretty excited at first.  Graphics Toolbox was created by Linda Holler and William Tsao.  Linda worked... [Read more of this review]

What’s in the Bible? | Review What’s in the Bible? | Review

Melissa J’s Thoughts I had no idea that Phil Vischer, creator of VeggieTales, went through an extremely difficult time in his life when Big Idea and Veggie Tales had to declare bankruptcy (the result of losing a legal battle, that was later overturned in their favor). As he explained in the preview DVD to his new series, What’s in the Bible?... [Read more of this review]

Book Corner: Never Blame the Umpire Book Corner: Never Blame the Umpire

My review This is a precious book. It’s actually hard to believe a man wrote it, because it is so believable authentic from a teen girl’s point of view. Cancer is a devastating diagnosis for anyone. For a teen, it rocks one’s world. And that is what Never Blame the Umpire is about. With raw, painful emotions, this book chronicles Kate’s... [Read more of this review]

The financial world has been up in arms for some time now; with a recession going on, it’s even more important to know where you stand financially and how to cut back on things to save money.  Early on in our marriage, Dan and I got into a bit of financial trouble, and it has haunted us ever since.  We are truly beginning to climb out of our... [Read more of this review]

TOS Crew: Math Mammoth TOS Crew: Math Mammoth

We have certainly been blessed in supplementing our math curriculum this year through the Crew, and this next program that we were allowed to try is something I’m excited to write about.  Maria Miller sent us part of her Math Mammoth series. Maria used to teach math, but has since turned her skills to staying home with her children and homeschooling,... [Read more of this review]

Book Corner | Listen by Rene Gutteridge Book Corner | Listen by Rene Gutteridge

My review of Listen Many times, book themes are all the same. Listen breaks the mold of the samo-samo in the literary world and was a convicting book to read. What if every conversation you participated in was recorded and posted on a blog for all to read–even the bad ones? It could have the potential to tear a town part, which is exactly what... [Read more of this review]
