Martha White Review


I just love cornbread...all types....well at the market the other day a product caught my eye....Martha White's Mexican Style Cornbread and Muffin Mix....I remember as a little girl my Mom would buy the simple little Martha White mixes for us--not only are they very easy to make but they are truly affordable and reliable.  I can say that I am now a true fan of the Mexican Style cornbread....it was moist and tastey.  Martha White offers unique mixes ranging from cornbread,pizza crust,muffins,brownies and biscuits.

Christmas with LeapFrog TAG Reading System for ages 4-8 Review



This Christmas wasn't just about the quantity of gifts my children got....I wanted them to get quality products that would last for a good time.  I am here to say the the LEAPFROG TAG System is excellent!!! Each TAG reader system comes with: the TAG reader, The Cat in the Hat storybook, USB Cable, Leapfrog Connect CD and 2 AAA batteries....with each touch of the TAG reader words talk and different characters sing....they also have a good selection of books you can buy for the TAG reader as well.  My children received Spongebob and Scooby-Doo--they love it!!!!  LeapFrog also makes TAG junior for children 2-4 and would make an excellent gift too.

I just want to thank everyone at Harlequin for all the wonderful books they send me.....being a Harlequin Ambassador has it's advantages and if you qualify as a Harlequin Ambassador, you’ll be sent all the tools you need to spark great conversation about Harlequin books including:

COUNTRY WOMAN MAGAZINE REVIEW--The Country Lifestyle


I have had a subcription in the past with Country Woman Magazine and let it slip....Then I picked up the current issue at Walmart a few days ago and I must say I am still impressed with the magazine...Each bi-monthly issue they feature a "Country Woman" and it is very interesting to learn about each woman's lifestyle whether she works a dairy farm or owns a craft store business--the features are wonderful.  They also have the magazine full of tips, ideas, crafts, recipes, stories from the heart...and my favorite part of the magazine is the Readers Are Wondering Section....It's when readers from all over send in questions on where they can find items from the past or patterns, recipes, quilt ideas, pictures, etc...fun!!!!!  This magazine would make an excellent Holiday gift or just for you!!!
