Lucy's Gluten Free Cookies Review & Giveaway

Hi there, so I actually won a few boxes of Lucy's Gluten Free cookies. The first cookies I attacked were the Chocolate flavored. I grabbed a few and poured myself a big glass of milk. They are crisp and crunchy and super delicious! I was a bit put off at first as they are "diet" cookies, but I really enjoyed the flavor. They do contain soy and oats and they are all organic!


Next was the Maple Bliss flavored cookies which were fab! I've actually never had Maple flavored cookies  so I was a bit hesitant. They so remind me of eating pancakes on a Sunday morning with all the family. The cookies are not too sweet and are fantastic with milk. They are crunchy and crispy just like the chocolate ones. So far they are a favorite of the kids. 

Last was the Ginger Snaps, I actually didn't try these as I personally don't like the flavor. I've tried them plenty of times and I just can't do it! I did have my official taster give them a try and he liked them. His exact words were, "mmm they're good!" but he may be biased because he LOVES Ginger snap cookies. He promptly took the box and kept them to himself. That's okay because I have my chocolate ones! 

You can buy Dr Lucy's Gluten Free Cookies ONLINE <-- Right There! Or you can find them at a 7,000 stores across America. They are fantastic and pretty affordable, so you need to run out and try them today! 

Aren't near anywhere that sells them, well you get the chance to win them! I have a couple of boxes left and will be sharing them with you guys!

Be The Change by Zach Hunter

Synopsis: Most people think the average teenager isn't capable of much beyond hanging with their friends and wasting time. But Zach Hunter isn't your average teenager. And he's hoping to show you that you're not either. Zach has been trying to end slavery around the globe. Most people (maybe even you) think that slavery has been over for a long time. But sadly, there are more people bound in slavery now than at any of the times we read about in our history books. Now Zach is working to end slavery and free the men, women, and children who are being held against their will. He's even found some friends in the fight, including Jon Foreman of Switchfoot and Leeland Mooring of Leeland. Just look around the world and on the news and you'll find that there are plenty of things wrong with our planet---homelessness, hunger, global warming, AIDS...the list goes on and on. And we usually look at these problems and decide they're too big for us to do anything about. But Zach is proving that one person can make a difference. And in his book, he'll reveal the elements needed to make amazing changes in your world. In the end, he hopes you'll find the thing you're passionate about---and start making changes!



My Review: First off this is classified as a Religious Non-Fiction book. It does have a religious undertone so if that's not really your thing, then this book might not be good for you. This book was an eye opener for me on so many levels. I didn't know there were 27 million modern day slaves in the world. You don't always hear about these types of things especially when they're going on in your own backyard. 17,500 people are trafficked into the US every year and many of those are children. This needs to stop and this is sort of a "How-To" guide on how to get more proactive. This is more suited towards a teenager, but adults can benefit from reading it as well. 

Overall it was a good read and it caused me to research more about where the items in my home are made. A lot of countries overseas utilize child workers who toil away day and night to feed our addiction of wanting bigger and "better" things. 




To go along with this book I am giving away another lovely item from the wonderful Tabitha! I was so surprised to get this in the mail the other day so I just had to share. She does fantastic work and its all very affordable! 


This is a bookmark and it features a heart shaped bead at the bottom. There are three green beads leading to the heart and one large bead at the end. The chain is "silver" and it is all constructed professionally. I love Tabitha's items as they always come out looking beautiful. I think her bookmarks are so stylish and I know you'll love it. Also because it is so long in length you can actually mark  two different spots. How convenient is that?




MARCH MADNESS GIVEAWAY


Thanks to Bobbie's Bargains, JJobe Photos, Treasured Heirlooms by Tabitha, and Killer Thrills and Deals for sponsoring. I really appreciate it, you gals are all awesome!

Treasured Heirlooms by Tabitha Review and Giveaway

I received a couple of items from Treasured Heirlooms by Tabitha and they're both just beautiful. Treasured Heirlooms is run by a sweet mom who has made the best out of her situation.




The first item I got was a pair of small angel wing earrings. My niece immediately fell in love with them and asked if she could have them. She is a rough and tumble kind of girl and these have withstood her running and playing. I really like that it is an all together type earring because if it had a back to it she definitely would have lost them by now. She has pretty sensitive ears, but she is able to wear these all day long. Now she is telling me to buy her more ear rings.



Next I received a chain bookmark that is great for any book lover. It is made with beads, a dark metal chain, and a shark tooth charm. It is about 16in long so it'll even work for large books. It is very sturdy and professionally made so you don't have to worry about it breaking on you. I really liked it, but thought you guys would enjoy it more. So I'm offering it up as a gift for one lucky reader! 









So What Book Giveaway Winner

It was a bit disappointing that only 2 people entered into the giveaway. I thought it was a great book and would reach a lot more people out there. Either way I'm hugely appreciative to the two that did enter. Basically had a 50/50 chance of winning and the winner was Debbie Rhoades. I hope you enjoy reading the book like I did and feel free to do a review of your own.

Book Review and Giveaway

So What A Single Mom's Guide To Staying Sane In The 21st CenturySo What A Single Mom's Guide To Staying Sane In The 21st Century by Laynee Gilbert

I received this book as a First Read and was so happy I got it. I was childless at 28yrs old and then tragedy struck. My older brother, who had been dealing with depression, took the selfish way out. He left 4 children who at the time didn't even have their mother as she was in jail.

Well it ended up that my mother, whom I cared for, was asked if she would adopt the kids. She said yes and I instantly became second "mom" to 4 growing children. Richard Jr is now 14, Amathyst is 11, Edward 10, and Damion 9 have taught me so much. I've been stretched to my limit only to snap back with a smile from them. They press every single one of my buttons and then shut me off with a hug. Raising children has to be the hardest thing I have ever done in my life. It has made me appreciate my mother who left my father when I was 9. She raised 5 children on her own and I still don't know how she did it.

This book has really helped me and I am waiting for a teen version. I don't remember it be so hard to be a kid when I was young. I'm forever asking myself, "So What?" if the kids go outside and play in the mud. "So what?" if they stained the shirt that I just bought them. It isn't that big of a deal and there is no reason to blow a gasket.

This is a great book and I recommend anyone with kids to read it. I think even married couples with children could benefit from reading this.

So here is your chance to WIN your own copy! ENDS FEB 20TH!
**Please make sure to leave your email so I can contact you if you win.

Book Review - Halflings

Halflings (Halflings, #1)Halflings by Heather Burch

Synopsis: After being inexplicably targeted by an evil intent on harming her at any cost, seventeen-year-old Nikki finds herself under the watchful guardianship of three mysterious young men who call themselves halflings. Sworn to defend her, misfits Mace, Raven, and Vine battle to keep Nikki safe while hiding their deepest secret—and the wings that come with. 

A growing attraction between Nikki and two of her protectors presents a whole other danger. While she risks a broken heart, Mace and Raven could lose everything, including their souls. As the mysteries behind the boys’ powers, as well as her role in a scientist’s dark plan, unfold, Nikki is faced with choices that will affect the future of an entire race of heavenly beings, as well as the precarious equilibrium of the earthly world.

My Review:
I received this book I instantly started reading it. Although it is full of cliches it was still a good read for me.

The book is about 17yr old Nikki who is a blackbelt in karate and is a painter. She leads a normal life until one day she is chased by hellhounds(?) and is saved by three young guys. These guys named Vine, Raven, and Mace are all half angel and half human. They are sent to protect Nikki from all the evil badness that is after her.

The thing I didn't really like is that the characters lack substance. I'm hoping that in the next book that they are developed more. It isn't as sappy as other paranormal love stories...*gag* sparkly vampires *gag* but it is on the edge. I also don't like how easily Nikki falls in love with any guy that shows any real interest in her. Mace: You're so beautiful - swoon. Raven: You painted the broken pot - swoon. Bad Guy that was so memorable that I forgot his name - swoon! Yea hopefully she grows out of that real soon.

While it wasn't the greatest book I've read it wasn't the worst. I think it is going to be a personal choice on whether you love it or hate it. I personally didn't hate it.
