Children Books


My friend Sherri, at the Rebel Housewife is holding a back to school giveaway. (Did I mention that I won one of her book giveaways once upon a time? – In fact, that is how I met Sherri!)

Head over to her site and enter to win both a copy of Jane Porter’s new book Mrs. Perfect and the prequel Odd Mom Out.
Of course, if you can’t wait until the drawing, or don’t want to leave it up to chance, you can order your own copies of  both Mrs. Perfect and Odd Mom Out right here.

I have used ebook readers on my PDA and computer, and while convenient, I never became a regular user of the ebook reader. Also, the price [...]

Vegetarian Slow Cooker Recipes

No, I am not vegetarian. Yes, there are those of you who say I should be. But that argument aside, I found this wonderful cookbook called Fresh From the Vegetarian Slow Cooker by Robin Robertson.
