Rainbow Bright Cd Review & Giveaway:

I recently got the opportunity to play with a Rainbow Brite Cd that was sent to me by MomSelect.
Rainbow Bright
Do you remember Rainbow Brite when you were a child?? I remember playing with her, but couldn’t remember the names of the characters. When I gathered my girls to see this cd, they asked me who Rainbow Bright was. I told them it was a doll I once played with when I was a child, and they were excited to share that with me.

I still can’t get over the fact that all of these characters from my childhood are making such a big come back! I’m so excited to have that to share with my children.

The CD includes games, activities, and coloring pages for the kids to do. It is a great thing to pass some time on a rainy day, or when they are just bored some afternoon.


They graciously provided me with 9 more Cd’s to give away…  So on March 7th @ 10pm EST… I will pick 9 winners by Random.org
The winners will have 48 hrs to email me back, or I will chose new ones.


OPEN TO US RESIDENTS ONLY
To Enter: Leave me a comment telling me if you watched Saturday morning cartoons as a kid, and who your favorite character was. (Mandatory to enter)
Be sure to leave me an email contact…

Value Fiction Blog Tour:

 

 

This time, we got a grab bag… So until they showed up at my door, I was not aware of what i would be reading.

The first book I read was Beneath a Southern Sky by Deborah Raney. I had never read any of her books.

Book Cover Beneath the sky

It was a bit hard for me to get into this book at the beginning of it. Then it started to get more interesting for me. I really like the characters in this book. It is really about how to move on with your life after losing part of yourself.

About this book:

Her Second Husband Healed the Sorrow of a Tragic Loss.
Her First Has Just Returned from the Dead.
Which Man Has the Right to Claim Daria’s Heart?


After two years of serving as a missionary in a remote area of South America, Daria Camfield has returned to the States to mourn her husband, reportedly killed while providing medical aid to a neighboring Colombian village.

At first, Daria finds comfort only in the daughter born to her after Nate’s tragic death. As she begins to heal, she also finds a listening ear and a tender heart in her new boss, veterinarian Colson Hunter. Determined to move forward with life, Daria ignores the still small voice calling her to wait and accepts Cole’s marriage proposal. But after the wedding, Daria’s new dream life turns into a nightmare with the arrival of an unbelievable telegram: “Nathan Camfield found alive. Flying into K.C. Int’l. via Bogota…”

Now two men have the right to her daughter, her life, and her love. Will Daria return to her beloved first husband, abandoning Cole? Or will she reject Nate and choose the only man her daughter has ever called “Daddy”--a man she has come to cherish with all her heart?

 

About the Author:

DEBORAH RANEY is at work on her 20th novel. Her books have won the RITA Award, HOLT Medallion, National Readers' Choice Award, Silver Angel, and have twice been Christy Award finalists. Her first novel, A Vow to Cherish, inspired the World Wide Pictures film of the same title. Deb and her husband, Ken Raney, enjoy small-town life in Kansas. They are new empty nesters with four grown children and two grandsons, all of whom live much too far away.

You can buy a copy HERE.

The second book I got was Secrets by Robin Jones Gunn. I had never read any of her books either. I am always excited to read a new author though, cause you never know what kind of possibilities it will open up for you.

Book Cover Secrets

I was able to get into this book a bit quicker.. and I really enjoyed the storyline. I think this was my favorite of the two.

About the book:

The Glenbrooke Series


Jessica ran from her past...but can she hide from love?
Jessica Morgan wants desperately to forget the past and begin a new life. She chooses a small, peaceful town tucked away in Oregon’s Willamette Valley as the place to start over—Glenbrooke. Once there, Jessica conceals her identity from the intriguing personalities she meets—including the compassionate paramedic who desires to protect her and the jealous woman who wants nothing more than to destroy her.


Will Jessica’s deceit ruin all hope for the future? Or will she find a deeper peace that allows her to stop hiding the truth from those who love her most of all?


This heartwarming bestseller, book one in the Glenbrooke series, introduces the fascinating people of Glenbrooke in a compelling tale of romance and spiritual truth.

    About the Author:

    Robin Jones Gunn is the much-loved award-winning author of the Glenbrooke, Sisterchicks(R), Christy Miller, and Sierra Jensen series, with more than three million books sold worldwide. Robin lives with her family near Portland, Oregon.

    My brave man….

     

    was so good yesterday. He went in to have his Tonsils & Adenoids out, and another set of tubes put in his ears. This is the 4th set of tubes he has had put in, so really he is kinda a pro at this! This time though you could see the slight hesitation in him… he wasn’t sure what to expect from the removal of his tonsils, and adenoids.

    I was proud of him for going in with a good attitude, and being so chipper, despite the fact he was scared, and starving!

    Surgery coloring book

    The nurses were great again, they remembered us from Sage’s surgery back in September which you can read about HERE. Matter of fact as I write this, they just called to check on him. :)

    Sage was an amazing trooper too… As she had to sit and be good for 6hrs, while we waited for him to go into surgery and come out and be released. They keep them for 4hrs after surgery to make sure they wake up ok, and start to eat, or drink.

    Brave boy before having Tonsils, Adenoids out

    Hunter woke up ok, but was in a lot of pain, so to clam him down they gave him some pain meds, that made him sleep again. Once those kicked in we were able to get him to eat a popicle. Plus when he got home he ate some Jello, pudding, and ice cream. So he is already doing better than Sage in that aspect.

    Waiting for the doctor at Sage's appt 

    He is out of school for a week or so. We have all his work though, so we will have it done, and ready for his return. I’m very proud of how brave he is being… Even in pain, he does pretty good!

    Get better soon buddy!!!
