The Life We Never Expected Review And Giveaway

By
Full Disclosure: I received products free of charge for the purpose of providing a review. My opinions are completely my own. 

I don't have a lot of time lately to read books, but when I heard about The Life We Never Expected, I knew that it was something that I wanted to make the time to read.

The Life We Never Expected follows the life of Andrew and Rachel Wilson as they honestly come to terms with having their life turned upside down. Both of their children were diagnosed with regressive autism. This book deals with the ups and downs of raising children with special needs, but it also reflects on coping in general with difficulties in life.

Andrew and Rachel share lessons that they've learned in how to find joy in the midst of trials.

My take on The Life We Never Expected ......


The Life We Never Expected is a page turner. From the first page, I was hooked and couldn't put it down. I felt the book to be open and honest. It wasn't 'woe is me our life is so hard'; instead they documented their difficulties and then showed how God is always there.

Although I don't have a special needs child, The Life We Never Expected made me stop and realize how we all have trials and tribulations. We all have good days and bad, but that God is always there. I enjoyed how this book weaved Psalms throughout the chapters. I found the writing style pleasant, and I would definitely recommend this book to others.

Although at the point of writing this, I haven't finished the entire book, I am finding The Life We Never Expected to be an enjoyable and eye opening read. And one of you can win your own copy.

Window Bird Feeder By Yellow Beaks

By
Lil Man has been beside himself since the Clear Window Bird Feeder by Yellow Beaks arrived in the mail. He couldn't wait to get it up and outside. He's very anxious for the birds to come. I wasn't sure how the suction cups would hold up. I've never, in the past, had much luck with any type of suction cup. But so far it's been a week with varying temperature changes, and the suction cups are holding strong. The construction seems sturdy, and it looks to be well-made. It also will be easy to clean out. I know with bird feeders they can get a little yucky sometimes, but this will be easy to remove, spray out and clean up.  So far the birds haven't visited us yet. Our neighbor has several bird feeders and he is keeping all of the birds over there (ha). But Lil Man is checking daily, sometimes multiple times a day, for a bird. So I can't report how the birds like the feeder, but I have to say that we honestly do.  You can find the Wind...

MagicMil Chalkboard Label And Pen Pack Review And Giveaway

By
I have been compensated in the form of a gift card/money/coupon and/or received the product/service at a reduced price or for free. All opinions expressed are mine and honest in nature. I'm not known for my craftiness. The fact that I made bird feeders out of milk jugs was a huge accomplishment for me when it comes to crafts. But when I saw these Chalkboard labels , I couldn't get over just how cute they were. And I thought, surely even I could could create something cute with these. First of all, there are several sizes and shapes to choose from. So the possibilities seem endless for what all you could do with these great Chalkboard labels . They are easiest to remove if you slightly bend where the label starts. And they are also re-positionable. ( I may or may not be speaking from experience ;) But they can be re-positioned up to 20 minutes. And they come with a liquid chalk pen. The liquid chalk pen is a little more watery than other markers. You can reapply to...

Ecosak Nylon Nut Bag Review

By
I have been compensated in the form of a gift card/money/coupon and/or received the product/service at a reduced price or for free. All opinions expressed are mine and honest in nature. Well, can you believe that I am trying out a nut bag to make my own almond milk? (I'll pause a moment so that you can let the shock wear off!) I can honestly say that never in my life did I intend on making my own almond milk. But as you know, we are making some changes to our diet. So I decided I would give it a try.  And with the Ecosak I also received some recipes which really helped since I wasn't really sure what I was supposed to do. I asked Lil Man if he wanted to help me, and he was more than thrilled. Apparently making almond milk was an exciting and fun thing for him. First things first was to wash the Ecosak (easy to do) and soak the nuts. Yep, I put some raw almonds in a bowl, covered them with water and let them soak 6-8 hours or so. After they had been soaked, I...
