Dreambaby's Furniture Anchors Review

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

My friends TV fell and broke the other day. Her 6 year old son, K, was trying to adjust the volume and knocked over the TV in the process. I was thinking, Ooops! I should have told her about the Dreambaby's Furniture Anchors. Thankfully K was safe and not injured. These new flat screen TVs are just as dangerous as the old tube models. Yes, they are lighter weight. They are also easier to tip over. We have 3 flat screen Tvs in our home. One is on top of the corner mantel. One is wall mounted in the master bedroom. The 3rd and smallest is in the kids room. My boys are 10 almost 11. I don't worry much about the damage a falling TV could do to them. But, I am aware that accidents can happen. The TV could be knocked over (as in K's situation) and could possibly drop and break a bone. 

My other thought with these Dreambaby's Furniture Anchors was emergency preparedness. When I moved from California to Utah for college, I was happy to enjoy the mountains and be free from the earthquakes. I was in the Bay Area when the 1989 earthquake hit and have very vivid memories from the days following. You could only imagine my dismay as I sat in a geology class and learned that my university was sitting on a fault line. I now know that I need to secure my furniture as a safety precaution in case of an earthquake. We have had a few minor shakes. It's a good reminder to stay prepared. As part of my home decor, I have a very tall bookcase that houses my husbands prized sports memorabilia. This bookcase is heavy. Although it is in the office and not in any of the main living spaces, I have still anchored it. I also anchored our dressers.

Lumenx mountable bicycle light Review

I live close enough to work that I can ride my bike. I am nervous though due to early morning poor lighting and busy roads. I was thrilled to be approved for this review. The bright light of the Lumenx mountable bicycle light far exceeded my expectations. At my job, I have become very familiar with lighting. I was more confident using this light knowing that it is CREE and has flashing capabilities.The red rear light was a pleasant surprise as well. I suggest this light to anyone who rides their bike, especially in the early mornings or late evenings.

Debt Solutions That Work: Your Guide to Get out of Debt and Stay out of Debt for Good Review

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

Over the past year, I have been in charge of the family finances. This is not a role that I had previously held. Not even as a single person. I used to just think that everything would work itself out. I became deep in debt. I dealt with judgments and write offs and my credit was destroyed. My sweet husband has done his best to help me rebuilt my credit and financial standing. I now look for any help I can to teach me more about financial responsibility. I chose to review "Debt Solutions That Work" as a part of this learning process. There are 4 chapters in this book: Common Causes of Debt, Analyzing your Debt, Debt Prevention Tips and Debt Management Options. I appreciated the break down. My favorite chapter was on Debt Prevention. I try very hard to track our spending and bills. I learned that there needed to be a record to help identify and unnecessary spending that could be applied to debt. This book is a must read for anyone, including teens and especially young adults.

Invisible Witness: How I Overcame My Family's Legacy of Domestic Violence [Kindle Edition] Review

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.


I was hesitant to apply for this book review. My childhood was complete with two loving parents. I didn't know how or if I could relate. I decided that maybe I would be able to recognize signs in someone else and be able to help them. I began to read "Invisible Witness: How I Overcame My Family's Legacy of Domestic Violence" with an open mind. My heart ached for this little girl and what she was a witness to. It made me think of my first marriage. I then read with the thought that I needed to learn more since my former husband was emotionally and mentally abusive. The author Lisa Kroulik held nothing back. I appreciated her candor and honesty. This book is a must read for anyone.

A-RX Weight Loss Review

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

This year I have realized that I really need to focus on getting healthier and losing weight. I applied for the A-RX Weight Loss Review as a way to kick start the weight loss. I took my pill every morning around 7am with oatmeal. I also drink several glasses of water daily. Unfortunately, I did not lose any weight at all. Not even a pound. All I can say is that I haven't gained any weight. Do I think it works? Nope, not a bit. It's a shame though because so many people talked about serious weight loss while taking these pills.

Noxicare™ Natural Pain Relief Cream review + giveaway

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

About 16 months ago, I was injured at work. I was putting shelving away and on of the solid wood shelves fell about 6 ft to the ground and landed on my foot. I have undergone shots and physical therapy to help ease my pain. When I saw the Noxicare™ Natural Pain Relief Cream, I was anxious to try it. I have tried other creams and gels to relieve pain but nothing has worked. I was hopeful for a different formula. It's a great idea to use natural ingredients vs chemicals. Unfortunately, I didn't notice any sort of pain relief. I have used it 3 times a day on my foot and I still experience my nerve pain.

Anabella Giggles All Day! - picture book review

I found this book to have a great message in the story. Anabella's best friend was upset with Anabella's giggling. Anabella understood more when the tables were turned on her.

The illustrations were perfect for the story that was told. This story is very appropriate for the 2-7 age range. It teaches values as a young child enjoys the pictures.

"Qi Orthopedic Pillow" review

My husband, Rich, and I both suffer from back pain. I have also watched my parents deal with back issues throughout the years. My dad usually puts a pillow or book behind him to support his back. A book you ask? At church it's not really feasible to bring a pillow. This is what led me to the Qi Orthopedic Pillow. It is collapsible and there for discreetly portable. It is also stylish. I love the micro fiber cover. Best of all, it is adjustable. You can decide the level of firmness needed.

Review of Redweek - Rent a Timeshare

 Do you love to travel but hate the cost of Hotels?
At my husbands previous job, his annual bonus was a vacation at a timeshare. I thoroughly enjoyed our stays. As a mom, I appreciate the convenience of a kitchen and laundry in our room. I thought that our time in these types of locations was over. I am grateful for a site such as redweek.com that I will be able to utilize in planning future family trips. I have searched at locations close to home and away. The prices seem reasonable for the services offered. I appreciate the list of available units with all of the information spelled out in one place. I am disappointed, however, that most of the reviews are not up to date. I look forward to being able to book a family trip through Redweek.com

Review of "My Not-So-Ordinary Life" by Christine Rice.

This book grips readers from the beginning. The early years of author Christine Rice were not easy. It seemed like every time things started to go her way, she would hit a wall and eventually rock bottom. Christine is very brave to describe her trials in such detail. It can be difficult to rehash the past but is also helpful in the healing process. I commend this author for opening up and sharing her struggles. This story is sure to inspire others that they can rise above and become the person they were meant to be.

Review - Cane Expressions

When I told my husband that I had applied to review cane covers, he thought I was crazy. Really, anyone would wonder since I am able bodied. Here's the answer: my mother-in-law. She has increased difficulty walking. She uses a cane, a walker and sometimes a wheelchair to get around. I made a cute walker bag for her that also works on her wheelchair. I figure that it's time her cane get some attention too. Canes are pretty boring. I saw this product and was amazed at the selection. I honestly have never thought of this idea before. Now that I have been introduced to cane expressions, it seems only logical. Our baby boomer generation is heading to this stage in life and this is a great option for personalization.

My choice for my mother in law is the zebra.

I would suggest looking at the Cane Expressions website. It will open a new world of cane accessorizing.
