Fun and Flirty way to no thigh chafing with Bandelettes - Review on Mom Loves 2 Read

Ok, so like most women I know I am not a slender size 4 and have a bit of extra around the thigh area. I am not a big fan of wearing skirts and dresses and this is one of the reasons why. That extra "flub" makes my thighs rub together when walking around unless I wear hose or tights under my skirts or short shorts. So, out with the skirts and short shorts? or so I thought until I found Bandelettes! These adorable (and yes, sexy) thigh covers seem to be the perfect solution to my (and many real women's) thigh-rubbing problem.

The Juppy Baby Walker Momentum GIVEAWAY ~ 2 winners - Holiday Gift Guide 2013

The Juppy Baby Walker Momentum

Easy on your back

Safer for baby's arms and shoulders

I remember how much I had to bend over when my kids were first learing to walk. After a few minutes I would have to stand up and stretch out my back. I also have a friend whose little one ended up with a sore arm from a big sibling trying to "help" baby learn to walk. I love the Juppy Baby Walker Momentum. It definitely makes it easier for Mom or Dad to help baby learn while not causing sore back and shoulders for baby or parent!

Alphabet Aliens make learning to read fun for preschool children ~ Review on Mom Loves 2 Read

Each book in the Alphabet Aliens series is its own adventure, focusing on a unique alien character and a particular letter of the alphabet: Alphie has an anteater whoʼs allergic to apples; Bebe was born to bounce, but not on the bed; and Coco can change color, just like her pet chameleon.

The books are great to read aloud and have the added educational benefit of phonetic alliteration and the introduction of a few challenging but fun new words. There's a guide to "tricky words" in the back of each book.

The books have bold retro illustrations and are small enough to be easily thrown in a bag or even a pocket.

I can tell when winter is upon us, because I usually need to stock up on some anti-static spray for my clothing and my hair (yes, it works on your hair too) but who wants to walk around smelling like anti-static spray all day long?

Are You Prepared? Disaster Strikes on a Beautiful Sunny Fall Day in Central Illinois.

On a beautiful bright and sunny fall day, my family and I were getting ready to leave a wonderful and inspiring Church service to head home. My husband and son were deciding whether or not to take a drive out to practice for hunting season, when we exited the building.

Overly warm, humid 67 degree weather, bright sun, with lots of white fluffy clouds flying across the sky seems like a perfect Sunday. Except for the increase of wind and a horrible, frightening sound off in the distance. It sounded vaguely familiar but was far enough away that I could not quite figure out what it was. The sky was much darker off that direction, but it didn't phase me much as we headed through the windy yet sunny morning to get in the car.

After arriving home and shooing the kids upstairs to

Unstoppable by S.R. Johannes Book Tour and Amazon or Paypal GIVEAWAY

Unstoppable

Unstoppable by S.R. Johannes After everything that has happened, Grace goes to the Everglades to live with her grandmother, Birdee. Even though she is now home-schooled by her bird-obsessed grandmother, the move gives Grace time to relax. She learns to scuba dive and starts boating with old man Rex, Birdee's casual friend/boyfriend. One day while out in the marshes of the Everglades, Grace rescues an abused Florida panther, currently on the endangered list. The more she dives into the animal’s horrific condition, the more she ventures into the underground world of the roadside zoos that run rampant in Florida with a total disregard for the law. Eventually, she stumbles upon one large roadside zoo filled with a variety of endangered and illegal animals. Before she can gather evidence and report her findings to the authorities, she is kidnapped by the ruthless owner and dragged deep into the Everglades for a hunting challenge. Only this time, Grace is the prey. During a sick game of cat and mouse, Grace is offered one chance at survival. With a one-hour head start and very little supplies, time and skill are now all that stands between the hunter and the hunted.

Greetings from the Flipside - Book Spotlight

Greetings from the Flipside B&H Books (October 15, 2013) by Rene Gutteridge

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

Rene is the author of seventeen novels. She also has extensive experience writing comedy sketches, and worked for five years as the director of drama for a church. She has a degree specializing in Screenwriting, for which she earned the Excellence in Mass Communication Award, and graduated magna cum laude.

She is married to Sean, a musician and worship leader, and has two children. They reside in Oklahoma, where Rene writes full time and enjoys instructing in college classrooms and writers conferences.

ABOUT THE BOOK

Hope Landon has been rewriting other people's greeting cards since she was six years old -- there's always a funnier caption. She's all set to chase those creative dreams with her musician fiance in New York City until he leaves Hope at the altar, deciding he must not really love this girl if he can't write a song for her. That may give her something to write about . . .

Hope disappears alone on what was supposed to be the couple's month long honeymoon. Upon returning she learns of her funeral -- everyone in her life concluded Hope must have killed herself after being jilted. Needing a fresh start more than ever, she heads for the Big Apple only to discover it's not that easy to rent a place when you've been declared dead.

Taking shelter at the YWCA, Hope soon lands a job at a Christian inspirational greeting card company as an assistant to Jake, a guy who shut down his organization's humor department. She has lost her faith in love; he needs to find something or someone that will make him laugh.

Is there anything in the cards for these two? Find out in the truly original Greetings from the Flipside by authors Rene Gutteridge (Boo) and Cheryl McKay (screenplay for The Ultimate Gift).

A Bride for Keeps by Melissa Jagears - Review on Mom Loves 2 Read

A Bride for Keeps Bethany House Publishers (October 1, 2013) by Melissa Jagears

ABOUT THE BOOK

A Tender Tale of Love on the Prairie Perfect for CBA Readers!

Although Everett Cline can hardly keep up with the demands of his homestead, he won't humiliate himself by looking for a helpmate ever again--not after being jilted by three mail-order brides. When a well-meaning neighbor goes behind his back to bring yet another mail-order bride to town, he has good reason to doubt it will work, especially after getting a glimpse at the woman in question. She's the prettiest woman he's ever seen, and it's just not possible she's there to marry a simple homesteader like him.

Julia Lockwood has never been anything more than a pretty pawn for her father or a business acquisition for her former fiance. Having finally worked up the courage to leave her life in Massachusetts, she's determined to find a place where people will value her for more than her looks. Having run out of all other options, Julia resorts to a mail-order marriage in far-away Kansas.

Keep the bedding dry with a Waterproof Mattress Pad from Wearever. Review on Mom Loves 2 Read

Wearever - Incontinence Underwear That Fits Your Lifestyle

What do you do when your child is learning to stay dry at night? But is not quite there yet? Do you keep him or her in overnight diapers or training pants? or wash bedding over and over each day? Here is another solution to that problem that will allow your child to wear "big kid panties" and still keep the bedding dry.

A Waterproof Mattress Pad with Wings from Wearever. This mattress pad absorbs wetness, has wings that stay tucked under the edges of the mattress and helps protect bedding and furniture from moisture. It has helped reduce the amount of laundry I have had by keeping the bedding dry when my youngest was still not staying dry through the night. Although she rarely has accidents anymore, I continue to use this mattress pad just in case! It has really worked well for us and I love that it is machine washable and reusable!
