I recently borrowed this book from a friend.  I was not sure what to expects since I don't read many "who done it" types of books.  I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised.  This book was about a defense attorney that has had his share of ups and downs in his personal life.  The book centers around mainly two cases that he is working.  One involves t...

I was really excited when I received this book for Christmas from my Mother and Father in Law.  I love to read!  I have to say that I was slightly disappointed in this book.  Christmas Letters does grab your attention right away, but I felt that what really lacked was the character development.  This book is a romantic comedy so you want to FEEL for the characters.  I l...

Renovating Becky Miller is about a mom who is trying to juggle her family, part time career, church and LIFE.  She is also dealing with a disability from a car accident she was previously involved in.

This book was great!  Karen Kingsbury is one of my favorite authors.  She is a very talented writer.  The story told in Oceans Apart revolves around a little boy and his fit in a family.  His single mother is a stewardess who dies in a plane crash and leaves behind her 7 year old son.  He meets his father in some strange circumstances.  His father was a pilot and d...

Monday Morning Faith is a story of a middle aged single woman.  She really thinks she is happy with her life just the way it is, but soon finds out that she might just need to step out of her comfort zone and experience life.  This book is about living out our faith, but has a romance that travels right along with it.  There is a heavy emphasis on missionary work, but from a slig...

I have successfully used this curriculum with all three of my daughters.  This set covers everything your child will need to know about multiplication.  This set builds on the foundations of addition and subtraction.  Your student will need to have a firm grasp of these before moving into Delta.  The Delta set includes the student text and the teachers set.  Included in...

We purchased this 37 inch television in November of 2007.  We couldn't be happier.  Our television is in our tv cabinet. We chose not to mount this to the wall.  The picture is sharp and clear.  You can really see the difference when watching a program in high definition, versus "regular".  The sound is surprisingly good.  Prior to setting the tv up m...

I do not claim to be a blood pressure pro so I was a little intimidated when my doctor suggested that I monitor my blood pressure at home.  I went out and purchased the monitor made by ReliOn.  I have been very happy.  The directions in the box made the cuff and monitor very easy to use.  They included suggestions about taking your blood pressure to give you an accurate read...

We have a Cockapoo that is 1 1/2 years old.  He loves this dog food.  He is always quick to run and eat when he hears the cabinet door open that contains his food.  At one point we had run out of food and replaced what he was eating temporarily with a wet canned dog food.  He would not even touch it.  We ran out and got the Iams and he immediately emptied his bowl. ...

My teenage daughter and I loves these.  This is the easy way of cleaning your face each night before bed.  I was sick of harping on her to clean her face before bed so I bought her these.  She uses them nightly and they have noticeably helped her skin.  She has much less breakouts and I feel that she is beginning a good habit.  These pads are plently wet enough, and eve...

My daughters and I have used this science text.  This is a really great elementary and early middle school science curriculum.  The text reads like a book and grabs your attention.  I must mention that it is written from a creation science perspective, so if that offends you, you might want to stay away from this set.  If creation science interests you then this is for you.&...

Beyond the Shadows by Robin Lee Hatcher is a thought provoking book about a family dealing with Alcoholism.  The husband/father in the family drinks heavily and repeatedly promises his wife that he will stop.  He always goes back to drinking.  The story is written mainly from the wifes perspective.  We feel what she goes thru on a daily basis.  This story is pretty heav...

I like to think I'm pretty simple when it comes to a cell phone.  My two most important things are size and reception, and that pretty much describes the Nokia 2610.  I wanted a phone that would fit in my pocket, and this phone is easily small enough for that.  My wife and I live in a "dead" are for cell phone service, and everyone seems to have probl...

The Netgear MA111 Wireless USB Adapter is perfect for anyone setting up a home wireless network.  It is actually as simple as inserting the adapter into the usb port and intalling the software.  (And of course you need to have a wireless signal available)  After that you're rolling!  This adapter does require you to install the driver, even with Windows XP.  Once yo...

I purchased Tune Up Utilities 2007 about a month ago, and it has been one of the best programs I've ever owned.  It keeps my computer clean from head to toe!  It can manage memory, optimize and clean space, optimize and clean your registry and more.  This program will even make suggestions of things that you can change that will increase your performance.  It will automa...

I bought this card for my laptop, so we could use it at home on our wireless network.  This card was a piece of cake to install, and Windows XP recoginized it, installed the driver and it was ready to go.  The problem was, I couldn't get reception anywhere.  I could be five feet away from the wireless router and the signal seemed weak.  I'm sure it wasn't the rou...
