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.

Adfilic Bluetooth Stereo Portable Wireless Speaker Review and Giveaway

By
I love music and streaming music through various apps on my iPhone. But with the case that I have on my phone, it sort of blocks the speakers a little. I can hear, but it can be a little muffled. So when I heard about the  Adfilic Bluetooth Stereo Portable Wireless Speaker  I jumped at the chance to try it. I was a little nervous since there really wasn't a lot of instructions on setup. I mean it had the usual pictures of this button does this etc, but there really wasn't a lot of documentation with it. So I was a little apprehensive at first.  But it didn't take me too long to realize that I didn't need a lot of instruction. It was pretty much straight forward. Charge it. After it was charged, turn it on. I went into my connections on my iPhone. It immediately found it, paired, and I was good to go.  I did get a little confused on which button was volume up (and down). But after a little trial and error with that, I've had absolutely zero iss

Little Buffalo State Park

By
I don't know about where you live, but where we live we are within driving distance to several State Parks. And because the weather has been so cool this Summer, and although it's August, last week was the first time we'd been to the pool. Lil Man had a blast. We had hoped some friends could join us today, but no one was available. But we ventured out, just the two of us, and we had a blast. The water was still pretty cold. In fact, we would get in - play for awhile - then get out and sit on a beach towel in the sun to warm up. This seemed to work well. We splurged and Lil Man enjoyed his first chocolate chipwich. He exclaimed "It's a cookie AND ice cream!" I do believe he thought it was a genius idea. Although it can be exhausting as my Lil Man is one that wants me to definitely join in with him with the sprinklers etc, it was pure joy to watch him enjoy himself. I think this picture speaks for itself. I hope you are enjoying your last few days

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
