Becoming a Woman Of Faith Book Review


I just finished reading Becoming A Woman of Faith by Cynthia Heald. This was a very easy book to read and I read in no time. This is a great Bible study book written by Cynthia Heald, who is also a bible teacher. Realistic perspective for the Christian woman of today's society.

Cynthia talks about her personal issues and her walks of faith through out the book giving you bible verses to look up and follow with each chapter.

Based on reality this book touched me, as no ones life is easy and we all face turmoils everyday. Many of us get lost, but this book teaches us how to overcome doubt and put our trust in the Lord. After finishing this book I feel renewed and more faith bound! This could not have come at a better time.

Even though I was sent a copy of this book to review, it had to impact on my opinion.

Precious Baby Doll Review


As a young child I loved playing with baby dolls. I would pretend to be a mommy and play house. Today, I took a journey back into my childhood. I had the pleasure of reviewing a PreciousBabyDoll. Thanks to my new friend, Mary Beth Wells, founder of the PreciousBabyDolls,I was sent Kimberly Caryn (pictured above). I was stunned and speechless when I opened up the package this morning. Precious is not a strong enough word to describe this life like baby I could not wait to hold! She was warmy dressed in an adorable sleeper that brought out her blue eyes and blonde hair. How soft she felt when I picked her up. Not like any other doll I had held before. There was even a diaper included in the package! Kimberly Caryn retails at $69.99, but believe me this is actually under priced for the quality of this beautiful doll.
Immediately I introduced Kimberly Caryn to my daughter Olivia! Olivia being 100% girl fell in love with her instantly. Olivia loves our new addition. She even has a stocking set out for her new doll for Christmas.

Kimberly Caryn is just one of many PreciousBabyDollsthat Mary Beth and her wonderful company have to offer. You will not only find dolls, but books and accessories as well.

PreciousBabyDolls have such a powerful story behind its creation! Please be sure to read all about how and why this company was started. I hope it will touch you as much as it touched me. Adopt a baby doll today and introduce your child to the benefits and importance of adoption. You will be glad you did!
Thanks to my new friend, Mary Beth, I was sent a doll to review for this post.

Ever since I was a little girl I have loved charmed bracelets. I have even passed down the love of them to my own daughter! I was so exited to have the chance to review a charm bracelet from Charm Factory . I was able to choose eight charms to have put on my very own bracelet. Wow, a bracelet that I can custom design myself! I like that. This way I get to choose the charms that express who I am.
Only one problem,Charm Factory has so many to choose from it was very hard for me to make my decision. I loved them all!!! I took the time and browsed the categories. I found baby charms, love charms, mother charms, dance charms, sports charms, colorful charms and so many more. I finally made my decision and told my new friend Angie at Charm Factory my choices.
The day my new charm bracelet arrived I could not wait to open the box. I was amazed at how pretty all the charms were. The craftsmanship put into each one is beyond compare! What a lovely addition I now have to my jewelery collection.
Charm Factory not only has charm bracelets but also Affirmation Necklaces.

Piggy Paint Nail Polish And Nail Polish Remover Review


My daughter and I love to do "girly" things together, especially paint our nails. However, after I had my son Carson, I have been worried about the fumes that most nail polishes and nail polish removers can let out. I was so excited when I got a bottle of polish and remover from Piggy Paint to review. All the ingredients in their products are non toxic and odor less. My husband I must have looked funny sniffing in awe...It was true...No smell at all.
As soon as Olivia got home from school we had a Bailey girls night in. Movies, popcorn, and painting of the nails with our new polish. We loved it! It dried fast and did not stink up my house. I must say I was impressed!!! Here are some key points to Piggy Paint products:

Non-toxic
Odorless
Water based
Hypoallergenic
Dries to a hard and durable finish

Be sure to check out PiggyPaint and their cool products! They are offering my readers 15% off anything on their site, including sale items when you use the code FRUGAL15L. This code is good until Jan. 31,2010!
