Make Memories with Unique Children's Books from Blurb

Making memories: Share the experience of a unique children’s book from Blurb

There’s something about the holidays—that warm glow from the fire, the fact that you actually get to spend time with your kids (or your friends’ and family’s kids)—that makes it the perfect time to curl up with the little ones in your life and read them a storybook. Reading a totally new, beautiful, amazing book with a child is a treasured holiday experience. And if you choose the right book, every time the child reads it alone in the future will bring back the memory of that time you shared.

If you’re a little tired of the standard children’s book selections in your local brick and mortar store, Blurb has a really incredible assortment of self-published children’s books that you won’t find anywhere else this holiday season. Try a few of these future classics and create some new holiday memories this year.

Title: Ollie + Loo

God's Hands Volcanic Stone Statue From The New Age Source ~ #Review

I received the following in exchange for an honest review.

I have spent hours browsing The New Age Source recently, they have such a fantastic variety of products to choose from. I still use my salt lamp everyday so I knew that whatever I chose would be great.

I finally decided on this Volcanic Stone Statue of God's Hands for review.

The statue weighs about 6 pounds and came very carefully packaged. The volcanic stone material gives it a very unique texture, its really nice. I wanted to give you an idea of the size as it can be hard to tell from the picture so I put a couple of medium-sized onions in there for comparison:

You'll notice a color difference from the site and my picture. I believe this is a consequence of using a natural material which, for me, makes it that much more unique.

I am very pleased with this. I haven't decided yet what (if anything) I will put in them but it definitely won't be onions. I feel like this is something that we can keep in our family for years to come.

The New Age Source also sells a smaller version of this statue as well as several other deity statues and figurines. Whatever your beliefs, you're sure to find something that you can fall in love with.

They have also generously offered to give one lucky reader their own statue and we will be giving this away along with two other products from the same site. Stay tuned for that.

In Rememberance

One year ago today my Daddy passed away from liver cancer.

It was hard watching him go from a strong man in his prime to a shell of the person he once was.

Yet even during that time his personality always shone through.

He was headstrong, stubborn, fiercely independent and at the same time he hated to be alone.

I miss him terribly but I also feel like he never left us.

I always know what answer he would give to any question I might have for him today. I can still hear his voice in my head. Most of the time I feel like he is right here with me.

There are many things that he taught me that will stay with me for the rest of my life.

He taught me to be independent. Strong. Loyal. And he also instilled in me a love of great classic music. And every time I hear a song from my childhood its like he's right beside me again.

I don't usually post things that are that personal but I was browsing around my YouTube history and came across a song that he introduced me to and I wanted to share it.

Its called Seven Spanish Angels by Ray Charles and Willie Nelson, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
