BRYTONPick Review
A few weeks ago I tried this new product called BRYTONPick this is like a tooth pick and floss in one. I love these things, there have been many times that I have had stuff stuck in my teeth and need to get it out this helped with it. It was easy to use there is a small trick but that wasn’t hard go from back to front.? What I really enjoyed about it is its reusable, less trash and the little carrying pouch is small enough to fit in a Mans wallet. My hubby even loves it. It came in a two pack so now he has one in his wallet and I have one in mine.

Book Review By MamaLuvsBooks:
I LOVE this book! It is fabulous!!! Being a former teacher I could see many ways to use this book in the classroom. I really hope there are teachers (especially Middle and High School teachers) out there reading this review. Please pass it along to any you know!
This book reminds me of a Classic you would read in school. It’s a timeless book with so many themes to be discussed. There are so many assignments and wonderful book discussions that come out of reading this book.
It is the story of Aesop. Yes, the same man that wrote all those wonderful fables you know of from growing up. It’s such an interesting read about how his life might have been, and how he might have created these fables long ago. It’s a very hard book to put down.
Some themes that ran through this book that could be discussed are:
- Mentally Strong vs. Physically Strong
- Freedom vs. Slavery
- Make Your Destiny vs. Allow External Events to Dictate Your Path
- Optimism vs. Pessimism
- War of Ideas vs. War of Swords (classic Greek paradigm diplomacy vs. war)
THINGS I LOVE ABOUT THE BOOK:
- It is easy to read, understand, and follow.
- It takes place during Ancient Greek times.
- It is a nice read of only 180 pages (another great reason to choose this for students).
- ?Helps you to understand the times and how fables may have come to be.
- Has a romantic aspect to the book as well.
- Really makes you connect and care about the characters.
- Great read for ANYONE!!!
- Lastly, it also has received all positive reviews, so it helps to know others enjoyed it as much as I did!

K5-Learning Review
As I mentioned a few weeks ago there was an opportunity to review K5 Learning. This is really a great program for kids. Its great for kids who are above as well as below average. It helps keep their skills in the front of their mind, it also helps them advance in areas that they may be struggling or not quite understand.
Growing Culinary Herbs In Containers ~ Review
I was asked to do a review of this eBook Growing Culinary Herbs In Containers because I love gardening. I enjoy getting down and dirty however I don’t have a ton of room to do real gardening in this house or our old house. So when I seen this opportunity I jumped at the chance to get some good container gardening going this year.
Cook’n Recipe Organizer Review and Giveaway
I Love cooking, and baking and creating new recipes as I go. Many times I get stuck with what to do for dinner so I hit the internet and get ideas. I am sure many others are like this, then you print the recipe then you end up with tons of papers everywhere trying to organize them and get things in order. It can be a pain in the bottom in no time. Or you have a recipe and you are unsure how healthy it is or spend time trying to combine everything in to the shopping list.

Birthday Chronicle ~ Review
I was asked to do a review on this really neat birthday present. I choose to do someone who has an upcoming birthday that I love.
First it was really fast with in a couple of hours it came in my email. It may have been sooner I had other things to do so that is when I checked my mail again. I opened the Birthday Chronicle and it was so great, its filled with facts from the date of birth from sports to the politics, others who share the birthday. This is going to make a great present for this person.
Party Planning Checklist Review
I was asked to give a review on this new ebook called Party Planning Check list Ok First I will say I thought what do you need a check list for I thought really its not that hard to get a party together.
So reading this I was curious why we would need such a book. Well little did I know how much work should be going in to a party to have it really stand out, make it run smoothly and make sure all the details are set out. I for one have never been really into throwing a party yes I have hosted a few but didn’t do the work, usually my mom and her friends did it.
