I had the pleasure of reading Not About Love, by Hana Goldberg.
Throughout the book I was moved to tears, laughter and found myself nodding my head in agreement at some of the things the main character, Maya was doing.
It was a quick read and I was easily transported into the book as if I was there, myself. It was raw and honest and yet sprinkled with humor and throughout it all, spoke of the wonderful independence and sexuality of the female character. She speaks of the woman in all of us, the thoughts and ideas we all likely have and wants, needs and desires we never speak of.
I found it to be a wonderful story and I was sorry it came to an end. I'd love a part 2!
You can get your own hard copy or kindle version of Not a Word About Love on Amazon.

I need to vent for just a minute, then I will be ok. My children bring me incredible joy. I've had the wonderful opportunity of working from home since my oldest daughter was 2 years old. She is now 23. This means, aside from advocacy work, occasional public speaking opportunities, sitting on a few advisory boards and so forth, I'm home. I'm home 24/7/365. My children are special needs of various degrees. Some days I wake up with the headache from the night before. My house is not only chaotic but it's a cacophony of sound that lingers, to the point that I have tinnitus. There are days that I dream of a job on the outside.
I just had an opportunity of that job. It seemed absolutely ideal. We talked it over. We talked some more. We talked over coffee, over dinner, in the car. We decided that while it would be wonderful for me to bring in a bit more income. It would be awesome for me to have an outside job for the first time in 21 years. It would be delightful to be in an office where I could think instead of working out of my livingroom where a dozen conversations, the tv, the xbox, music and who knows what is going on all at the same time. You know what? I don't know how I'd manage.
Chaos has become my life. Working with a cat on my hands and a dog on my feet is the norm. It's my norm. This is my life. I can't imagine it otherwise.
I may not have the expensive handbags and the fancy work clothes. I may shop at thrift stores for what I do have. You know? That's ok. Working outside the home is for many people. It's not for me. Not right now. My opinion may change over time and I may be writing to say that I've got a job somewhere. For now I'm content.

I have been reading more and more about identity theft and how thieves can steal your credit card numbers just by standing beside you in stores and such.
I was excited to review this product because I was interested in purchasing them, anyway. Of course I'm hoping to never have to find out how well they "work" because by using them, I'm hopeful that I will PREVENT a theft of my credit card information!
At any rate, these card sleeves are designed to protect your cards from anti-theft. They are made of copper and aluminum.
This is a set of six different colored patterns to help you easily locate your specific cards. One card slips into each sleeve. They fit easily into your wallet.
You can read more about them and purchase your own set on Amazon. I think you will love them as much as I do!

I had the pleasure of reviewing the Baltic Amber Teething Necklace by KG Baby.
If you aren't familiar with what this is, this is a necklace for your teething baby. It's not a toy or a teether, but rather a necklace that you put on your baby under your supervision. This is what symptoms it is known to help.
It has been known to provide soothing pain relief within a few hours. It has been known to reduce drooling. It boosts the immune system to fight gum inflammation. It's been known to help recover full energy to help avoid fevers and fussy behaviors. This product is 100% natural, thus there are no chemicals. This is so important to me!
A really nice feature of this necklace is that each bead is double knotted on both sides for safety. If for some reason it is broken, the beads won't scatter everywhere. It has an easy to use screw clasp that is made of plastic. It comes in a very pretty sheer gift pouch that is perfect for gift giving.
For a limited time it comes with a silicone teething pendant for Mom to wear, as a free gift! I have an alternative use for this pendant, as well. For those of you who have older children who have the need to chew on things, their shirts, pencil erasers, finger nails, and so forth, this is a fabulous option and they can wear it to school. It comes in cool colors. I purchased one in a heart shape for Hope a few months ago, for this purpose. When I saw this particular teething pendant, and she did, she ran off with it and claimed it as hers. She loves it! Just something to think about for those of you with kids like Hope.
I used Hope as a model for both the teething necklace and the silicone teething pendant. I hope you enjoy these photos. This wonderful product can be ordered from Amazon, if you want one of your own.
Thank you KG Baby, for providing me with these wonderful necklaces!
