OVER - Prefense Hand Sanitizer and Giveaway - Over

Please read my review and enter my giveaway at the bottom.

Congrats Bev for entering. I hope you love this stuff as much as I do.

I first want to say how much I LOVE THIS STUFF. . . . Sorry, I had to put that in caps because I love this product that much. I have very bad dry hands/eczema and I am constantly washing my hands which only makes it worse. When I got my sample I was excited to tried it out. It felt different then any other hand sanitizer then I have ever used. At first it felt strange to me, I've used the alcohol based ones for years. After I rubbed this on my hands they felt smooth thanks to the fact that they use silica instead of alcohol. It didn't make my hands feel sticky or yuck and also I like the fact that it doesn't have a strong smell. The scent is very light and it smells clean. I decided to test it out with washing my hands next. I loved the fact that my hands still stayed smooth feeling after washing.

Mixbook Review

I recently had the opportunity to order and review 5X7 flat cards. I got the chance to order mine on the premium paper, which is worth the extra money. They turned out beautiful and they were super easy to make. I was trying to decide what background to use on mine so I played around with a few different ones. I was able to add different touches to each of the backgrounds until I found the perfect one for my family. There are so many different options of backgrounds, layouts, and plenty of added extras. I was highly impressed with how easy it was to make little adjustments to make them exactly what I wanted. When I was ordering I seen that there wasn't an option for different envelopes and was kinda bummed that I was going to get just plain white. I was thinking they were going to be some cheap thin thing but I was wrong. For being a white envelope they are pretty nice. I used a dark(er) green background for mine and once in the envelopes you can't see what kind of card it is. I can't wait to send out my cards and see what others think of them. I will definitely be using them for future cards.

An Alphabet Trip to the Limerick Zoo - review

I recently had an opportunity to review this book. The first thing that popped out at me is all the colors. I love how colorful it is. It has a different animal and picture for every letter of the alphabet.

Now the part for my review. I really wanted to like this book but I would give it a 2 stars out of 5. This book cost $9.99, now granted you can share this book with up to 6 friends, but I personally wouldn't pay that for this book. I find that most of the pictures aren't colored professionally. I understand that this is a child's book, but for that price I would expect better quality in the pictures. In most of the pictures you can see the marker marks standing out.

I tried to read this book to my children. Normally they LOVE to sit down and have me read to them but about half way through they got bored and left. I finally got my son to come back and finish the book with me. I ended up having to stop at "Q" because it talks about a Quagga and how they are dead. Yep, the word dead is in the book. I understand that death is a part of life but I hate to have to explain to my child about why it is in a child's book.

After reading this book and reading it with my kids, I personally don't feel like I can recommend it. This is just my opinion and there are plenty of other reviews that just absolutely loved this book. If your interested in checking it out for yourself please head over to their website. There is also a Youtube video here if you are interested in seeing some of the pages.

Weirder Than Marshmallows

I recently had the chance to review this book published by NightFire Publications. This book is a great easy read about those little things in life that are like "duh". . . In the book it says "Weirder Than Marshmallows showcases tales of stupidity and ignorance in the hopes of making people laugh." This book has 5 different categories which are:

Do Not Stop on Tracks (showcases warnings that should never have to be warned)
En Masse (contains stories of mass ignorance)
Technology Sucks (explores the hazards of the technological age)
That's Just Freaky (features Twilight Zone like tales of paranormality)
Weird Stuff (is stuff that is… well, weird)

Once I started to read this I couldn't put it down. It was so funny reading some of the stories in the book that I found myself busting out and having my kids give me a strange look. Some of the things written are like "DUH" or "DINK DINK DINK, we have a winner". It's those stories you hear online or see on TV that just makes you think about what were they truly thinking when this happened.

I love reading books like this that just real easy reads that I can pick up through out the day and it doesn't matter how long it was since the last time you read it, you can pick it right back up. I would recommend this book as just one of those funny little books that would be great to read anytime or anywhere.

One of my favorite stories in this book has to deal with a local little fast food joint and what ended up involving a judge. And nope this isn't the coffee lady story, this one is even better in my opinion. I don't want to give too much away so if you are interested in reading this story you can enter my giveaway or download the book.

Party Planning Checklist

I recently had the opportunity to review Party Planning Checklist from Theme Party Queen. I found this such an easy way to make sure that everything is done. A couple things I really liked about this is that it has the menu, a grocery list and also a place to make sure everything is set up (like tables and garbage cans). I know the last time I hosted a party I was scrambling about an hour before my guest were to arrive because I had forgotten to grab a couple things at the store. With these simple checklists I know that this will never happen again. She has everything neatly prepared to make sure that your party goes perfectly. I can't wait to put this in place and use it for my next party. If you would like to grab your own copy for FREE please stop by Theme Party Queen's website. There are a few options to grab this, including "liking" her facebook page.
