Now I am no where near a history buff and honestly I don’t really like history, but I am always open to new genres. I decided to give the book “Five Cities that Ruled the World: How Jerusalem, Athens, Rome, London, and New York Shaped Global History” by Douglas Wilson a chance. It is a […]
Book Review: "The Whole-Food Guide to Strong Bones: A Holistic Approach" by Annemarie Colbin PH.D
On Labor Day, my mother-in-law fell off her bike and due to her brittle bones, she shattered her ankle. (She is finally able to start her physical therapy and seems to be healing well.) Since then I have been thinking about how I really don’t eat as good as I should and I started wondering […]
Book Review & Giveaway: "America, Welcome to the Poorhouse" by Jane White (Ends 12/26)
I admit it I am not very intelligent when it comes to political issues and retirement. To keep myself up-to-date, I do try to watch the news, but mainly I read. I love to read personal finance books that are for the everyday Joe as I am always looking for tips and ideas. I may […]

Book Review: "I Can See You" by Karen Rose
I have never read a Karen Rose book before I read her newest book I Can See You. It is a Mystery/Thriller book, that definitely kept me reading, although I don’t recommend reading it while alone in your house at night! Rose has this book filled with plots and sub-plots that it definitely has a […]
Book Review: "The One Year Book of Inspiration for Girlfriends" by Ellen Miller
When I received the book “The One Year Book of Inspiration for Girlfriends: Juggling Not-So-Perfect, Often-Crazy, but Gloriously Real Lives (One Year Books)” by Ellen Miller, I had no idea what is what about.

Book Review & Giveaway: "Jantsen’s Gift" by Pam Cope (Ends 11/24)
I know I am one lucky woman. I have a wonderful husband, two healthy boys, and a roof over my head, oh and money to pay the bills. It is really easy to take it all for granted and forget about those that don’t have as much or anything at all. Sometimes it takes a […]
