I was able to read this really wonderful devotional through book sneeze.I really love it because,though its a devotional there are no dates or days for the daily readings. Since I was to do a review for A year with Jesus, I read it through so I could do the review in a timely manner.
I think this is an awesome devotional. Each reading comes with a different story in the life of Jesus and than gives you the authors commentary on it and how we can apply it to our daily walk with Christ. I found it to be inspirational and very helpful. R.P Nettelhorst really captures the message and spirit of the passages and helps us to see them in a fresh new light.
This Devotional takes us through the gospels and help us think about The Life of Jesus in a different way. I think its a superior devotional and would make a really great gift for anyone who is a new Christian or even one who had been walking with Christ all their lives. Everyone will find this a fresh look at the gospel and cherish this devotional. Im so glad I was selected to review it and I thank you for looking at my review
I was able to try these really cool toys for my Children and Grandchildren recently and I gotta say these are awesome fun, Even my oldest Daughter thought they were really cool and thats high praise coming from her :).
I know these are really popular in our neighborhood because I can see the kids playing with them. My Grandsons were so happy to be able to try these they just love them, actually everyone loves them.
This toy offers an amazing safe light show and endless fun. I wanted to say that I think these would make for an awesome Christmas gift, WHY.
First reason, can you imagine how cool these would look on a snowy night! We live in Florida so we would not be able to see this for ourselves but I can imagine how much fun this would be for Kids of all ages. I imagine the snow would really reflect the colors and make the light show really beautiful. I know most kids are using this as a summer toy but Just think about the winter possibilities in areas that get lots of snow.
Second these are safe and let kids create a light show around them with different tricks and techniques.
Im old LOL and these remind me of those yoyos that were popular in the early 70s that could light up so you could use them in the dark. FyrFlyz Light Up Toys go one better by creating a light show in the air while children learn how to do different thing with them for effect,like these really neat designs.
If you are looking for a really neat toy for kids ages 8 and up for stocking suffers or just so they can have some awesome fun in the evenings than the FyrFlyz Light Up Toy is the way to go.
These are not expensive and can be found anywhere toys are sold for about 7.99 you can also get them on amazon.
here is a link to their website for info and where to buy, they also have a really cool video so you can see how neat these are.Fyrflys info here
I was so privileged to read Hounded By Clifford Neal
anyone who loves a true story would love to read Hounded. This story shows the grace of God in every page and how God will reach out to his own and make use they come to Christ. In this Story we meet Truman Mahoney. Born into a family of strife Truman must deal with a whole lot of heartache in his life. As a result of his tragic childhood Truman turns to a life of crime. All through Trumans life we see a man fighting agents Gods will for him to accept salvation, but God never gives up and eventually Truman finds and accepts Christs will in his life.
This story starts out with the problems Truman and his brother had to face in a family that no longer wanted either of them. After their parents divorced Truman and his brother were put into a orphanage because both parents thought is was best for there new lives. Turman and his brother were throw away children and its not wonder that because of this they fell into the wrong company and a life of crime.
Trumans story will at time shock us and sometimes even make us laugh , but most of all it will make us be so thankful for the love and grace of God who can forgive us and call us his own in spite of ourselves.
Hounded it the kind of story that makes us really see a loving and forgiving God whos grace is made perfect in our weakness and whos love for us cannot me measured. It teaches us that nothing can separate us from the love of God and that His will, can be done in our lives even when we think we are just to sinful to warrant his attention .
This is a fantastic true story and one I will recomend to everyone
I was able to try the Torani Gingerbread flavoured syrup through Shespeaks and I cant tell you how delicious it is, I really loved the authentic Gingerbread flavour , the smell of the syrup and how really spectacular it made my morning coffee taste.
I really look forward each day to having it in my first coffee of the day. Its not too sweet but rather full of flavor that makes you feel like your drinking one of those expensive coffee house coffees right in you home. Torani Gingerbread flavoured syrup is smooth, rich and so tasty you will want to have it on hand through out this holiday season.
I also like that since you are in control of the amount you add to your coffee you can add as much or as little as you like. I would recomend Torani Gingerbread flavoured syrup to anyone who love to have flavoured coffee on hand for themselves or for guests. Its really great and so easy to use

Hi Everyone
Thanks for looking and entering into this awesome giveaway for The wonderful Goodskin labs Skin care products :)
Most of you know how much I Love Goodskin Labs products . Each one of these , Hard working skin care products are truly fantastic ,I love them so much I just had to ask Goodskin Labs if I could offer a blog giveaway so one of my loyal readers could win the full set !!! So this is My holiday extravaganza blog giveaway for All things Goodskin labs.
What I'm going to do here, is list each product that is featured in this giveaway set and tell you something I love about it and some stuff you should know about each.
OK, Lets get started
The first Product I want to talk about is The Filextra Facial Revolumizing Treatment with Collagen.
This is my first favorite in the product line. I use it every night and it has given me results I can see and feel .As we age the loss of collagen in our skin will cause our faces to have a deflated balloon appearance. Filextra fights this process by stimulating the skin to produce collagen and will plump and hydrate there by revolumizing skin appearance.The technology makes it so we do not have that hanging skin look or the mid face sink that so contributes to making us look older. Its love Filextra because it works where many others have failed in this area .
available at Kohl's for 44.50
Tri-Aktline Total Face.
This product is just awesome and was made special for women who wanted to use a an instant wrinkle Reducer that also had deep moisturizing abilities. This product is meant to be use over the entire face which is a bit different that the original Tri-Aktline deep wrinkle filler (Ill talk about that one later)
Tri-Aktline Total Face is a rich daily facial moisturizer cream that spreads evenly to immediately smooth and fill fine lines and wrinkles. I use this every morning before I put on my moisturizer because my face is really dry and just using a daily SPF moisturizer will not keel it smooth and soft all day. Tri-Aktline Total Face is a great product that really makes my skin look great all day and so soft and smooth. available at Kohl's for 44.50
This innovative Serum is an advanced anti aging treatment for Smoother, Brighter and firmer skin . It will target texture and skin tone and improves skin 365 days a year. Built with peptides these proteins stimulate natural collagen production. Smooth 365 has a unique cocktail of yeast , Mulberry, Grape and Scutelleria extracts. It is clinically proven to immediately improve skin clarity. I use this at night under my night treatment. available at Kohl's for 44.50
Exten -10 Instant youth boosting moisturizer with SPF 15
- I love this awesome day cream it goes on so easy and blends in well, it makes skin looks so dewy and moist. With continued use it will give you back 10 years on your skins appearance and prevent future damage. Exten 10 is formulated with a blend of brightening optics and Hyaluronic acids it helps restore radiance instantly. Exten 10 has a really great anti-oxidant blend of Arganyl and Grape seed and Rosemary extracts as well as a Sirtuin power complex to restore skin youthful appearance. available at Kohl's for 44.50
Eyliplex-2 eye lift and circle remover
This is a really great hardworking eye cream system for day and night . This has got to be my very favorite eye cream because it works so much better than others I have tried. I had some really dark circles under my eyes which could be really dark on some days when I was under more stress. My Husband use to make fun of them saying that my dark circles had dark circles ( yes hes a Prince of a man LOL )
Eyliplex-2 is different in that is has 124 ingredients that work day and night to battle your darkest circles and baggiest bags. I love it because it works beautifully and because each treatment is in different pots but they are attached so you are not always looking for one or the other.
These 2 wonderful eye creams work day and night around the clock to give you noticeable improvement to your eye area.
available at Kohl's for 44.50
Tri-Aktline deep wrinkle filler.
This is a potent deep-wrinkle filler that instantly fills fine lines and wrinkles while helping to firm the skin over time . This high Tech cocktail of 3 ingredients helps to firm and plump . Tri-Aktline deep wrinkle filler is loaded with Gatuline Expression, extracted fro the South American Acmella Oleraca plant that helps relax the look of facial tension and expression lines.Other ingredients like avocado oil, Shea butter hydrate the skin to further plump fine lines . This is a targeted wrinkle filler that I use on my more difficult wrinkles and expression lines. Its a power house of innovation that give you the results you are looking for .
available at Kohl's for 44.50
Z-Pore Instant Pore Refiner.
This product works like magic to make pores just vanish , it will control oils and reduce shiny skin. Skin will have a flawless matte finish all day. I use this often on my nose forehead and right next to my nose. I have some really large pores and I just love the way Z-Pore Instant Pore Refiner makes them disappear.
If its one thing I really hate is putting on my favorite foundation on a day I'm going out of the house, only to see a bunch of dots on my face where the makeup has settled into the large pores and causes a dot effect .
If you have large pores you know what I mean and how annoying this can be. By smoothing in the Z-Pore and allowing it to dry before I apply my foundation I get the smooth matte look I'm trying to achieve with my makeup or tinted moisturizer .Z-Pore Instant Pore Refiner in indispensable to me when using any kind of makeup product .Available at Kohl's for 24.50
Bottom line is- Goodskin Labs products are are my absolute favorite since I discovered them . They keep working for me and I keep seeing results. I cant tell you how much my skin has improved since I have been using them and I'm sure you will see what I mean if you give them a try.

I was able to try the New Carmex Healing lotions and creams through Carmex blog squad recently and I have a a giveaway to go with my review! Someone will win fulls sized tubes of both the healing lotion and the healing cream and one each in a smaller purse size to take on the go. you can see the picture I took of my set. this is the set you would win if you are picked. I have one set to give out.
First I want to say that I have been trusting my lips to Carmex since I was in my 20s its always been a fantastic working product . It use to come in a little pot and still does but now they also make tubes and sticks .
Carmex has been solving problems for 70 years and its with that knowledge that they are putting into these wonderful healing lotions and creams .
I have been using these for about a year and found them to be the kind of product that's expected from Carmex. Products that work as they are supposed to.
The Healing lotions and creams both smell so lovely . I cant tell you how much I love the scent which for me smells like honey and lavender with a hint of vanilla. The scents are not over powering but light and would not give you any problems if you are sensitive to heavy scents in your body lotions. These are easy to use and are not a bit greasy, the lotion blends into the skin quickly and keeps your skin protected and soft for the whole day. The healing cream is essential to use on those areas of your skin that need a little bit more help.
I use the healing cream on my elbows,knees ,hands and feet. both of these products are great to use for winter when dry skin can become a problem, due to harsh weather and dry heat. The healing Lotion and healing cream are available at the drug store for about 5.99 which is a great deal.
I hope you get a chance to see the video review I did for them so you can see the products and hear my thoughts about them.
I recommend all Carmex products to my family and friends and have been doing so for years. Now, Because Carmex is making these wonderful healing lotions and creams I have more to recommend. I'm so happy Carmex made these awesome Healing skincare products and put 70 years of knowledge and power behind them,you know its good if its made by Carmex.
Now for the giveaway ! please use the rafflecopter widget to place your entries- their are different ways to get entries so just follow the instructions for each. One. I will pick a winner and you will have 48 hours to send me your address ao I can send it to Carmex and your gift will come right from them. I want to say that I'm so happy to be a Carmex blog squad member and I thank them for offering this fantastic giveaway. As always though I received samples through Carmex my opinions about the product are my own and I thank you for looking at my review and video :)
Contest winner is Sally G Thanks to everyone who entered

For anyone with children you know how difficult it is for them to like healthy snacks. I was able to discover Dr Sears Cool Fuel nutrition bars recently and I think they are fantastic.
Packed with nutrition including Protein and omega 3s these bars not only taste fantastic but are so good for your active child . These are part of the Dr Sears Family essentials line of products and come in great flavours like double fudge brownie ,peanutbutter and chocolate chip.
I was able to try these in the flavours Chocolate chip and double fudge brownie. I can tell you that they are really delicious and that kids love them. as I said in the video review children will think they are getting to eat candy or rich bakery.
Because these Cool Fuel bars are packed with omega 3s you may think ,Ill bet they will taste fishy or oily, I can tell you that they do not, they are delicious and you will not taste anything like that and neither will your kids.
cool fuel bars are 100% natural and will provide your child with the energy and fuel they need for their busy days. We all know Kids are busy these days with after school activities and recreation. Today's kids study hard and play hard and are very active. Cool Fuel bars are loaded with protein and also have a healthy fiber content as well as the Omega 3s.
Here is Some more information about Dr. Sears Family Essentials:
•
Dr. Bill Sears has been a practicing pediatrician for 30+ years and is the author of 40+ pediatric books, including The Baby Book, which has sold 40 million copies in 20 languages. He has made appearances on 100+ TV programs including 20/20, Good Morning America, Oprah, CNN, and Dateline to talk about parenting and healthy eating for children.
Dr. Jim Sears is a practicing pediatrician and the co-author of pediatric books with his family. He is currently a co-host on the Dr. Phil spin-off show The Doctors.
The Sears family is passionate about omega-3s and the healthy benefits this essential fatty acid can provide for your family,
The Sears family has made healthy nutrition their life’s mission. As pediatricians working with children and parents around the world, they know it can be challenging to find healthy snacks that taste great and fit in with busy schedules. They are concerned about the increase in empty calories, sugars, and processed foods they see in children’s diets, and the growing prevalence of childhood obesity, diabetes, and other nutrition-related disorders. The key to good health is good eating, and Dr. Sears Family Essentials would like to help make it easier to snack right.
As I said I got to try these Cool Fuel bars and the Popums chip snacks and share them with my friends and family through Moms Meet and Dr Sears. All of the products were a huge hit with the kids and even the older children who may have be skeptical at first were really happy with both the cool fuel bars and the Popums chips. One child even asked if the chips came in a bigger bag!
The Popums are also an essential source of omega 3s as well as protein and fiber
I hope you have a look at my video review that I did special for these great Family Essentials products and check out the link I have provided for you. Please also keep in mind that these products are very reasonably priced as a box of 18 Cool fuel bars are only 18.00.
Thanks for looking at my review, though I was provided with samples of these products all my opinions are my own. I really love them !!!
