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.

What Summer Taught Me

By
This Summer has been a big learning experience - for both Lil Man and myself. Who knew that an amusement park could be such a learning experience for both of us. I watched as my little boy, all on his own, climbed stairs among strangers, learned how to wait his turn, slide down a water slide, and do it over and over again. I watched as other kids shoved him out of their way, cut in front of him as he stood patiently 'waiting for his turn'. Groves of bigger kids kept cutting in front of him, and I held back and gave him time to respond. This for me was a learning experience. See, people have to have room or space to grow. So I learned how to let go, let out the leash a little, and give Lil Man some space. The first time the kids pushed him aside, he really didn't know what to do. After a few minutes of this, I did intervene. I told him to get in line. Take his turn, and when it was his turn he was to go. And the next time as other kids pushed past him, it only took a few...

2 Weeks Post Mohs Surgery

By
May 26, 2021 3:40pm  Finally, the phone call that I'd been waiting on. It was the Medical Center. ( Finally, we can schedule my surgery. ) She tells me who she is, and then tells me that she has a cancellation for tomorrow. ( Me stammering... )  "Ok, but I was thinking the end of June."   Then I hear "We just had a moment to look at your file. We really don't think that you should wait. We really think you should come in tomorrow at 8:15am" ( Me stammering again ) "Ok, I'll be there."  Wait, what? My mind is all over the place. I'm supposed to work. How am I going to get our son to school? Will my husband be able to go with me on such short notice. I expected this to be the end of June, not tomorrow. I'm not prepared! I was overcome with emotion.  May 26, 2021 Surgery Day I woke up at 1am with a horrible headache. By the time we arrived at the surgery center, I was definitely a bundle of nerves. I got checked in, went through the usual ...

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...
