WHAT WE THOUGHT
It feels like Spring outside here in Central Texas, so it was time to start thinking tees. But we couldn't find any of our old t-shirts and I wanted something that fit our personalities a little more than just a regular t-shirt.When Twin directed me towards The Mountain, I knew I would have fun!
 |
| Both shirts |
 |
| Zombie Apocalypse |
Twin loves her shirt and I love mine. But I have a feeling that we'll either A) buy more or B) swap tees once in a while.
I was NOT compensated for this review. I received FREE tees from The Mountain to review. All thoughts/opinion are my own.

Worry Box Craft (via The Geeky Nutcase)!
 |
| Photos courtesy of The Geeky Nutcase. |
Back on February 4th, I posted how that Twin would be making a Worry Box to help her with her anxiety. This past week, we bought the items to make the worry box and it only cost less than $15! Here is what you need (and what we bought, just in case you need prices):
1 Photo Storage box (We got it on sale at Michael's for only about $2)
1 bottle of Tacky Glue ($1.50)
1 package of Tim Holtz Timepieces Clock Faces (5-piece for $3.99)
1 package of antique keys (5-piece for $3.99)
1 package of letter stickers (I can't remember what the brand was for $2)
Total= $13.50
Now Twin loves steampunk and that is the theme she wanted to go with because it's something she enjoys. But you can embellish your box however you want. If it's for the children, let them embellish it with their favorite stickers or even handprints.
Here's the howto:
2. Glue your items to the box using the Tacky Glue. Children may need supervision.
4. Let it dry for a few hours or overnight.
5. Enjoy your Worry Box!
If you or even the kids start to worry about something, write it down and place it in the Worry Box. At the end of the month or even the year, go through the Worry Box and think about those things that worried you. It is also great for those who suffer anxiety as you are able to put your worries from your thoughts into the box and close them up tight.

Coming Soon- Saturday Savings!
Now the reason we chose Saturday was because that is when a lot of families get out or have their celebrations. That is also when a lot of families just take the time to relax and maybe work on some details for certain events or buy online.
So starting on Saturday, March 2nd, we will begin Saturday Savings with the "crafty" things in life. Many families with children do some sort of craft activities but I also know they can be expensive. So we'll focus on craft supplies deals as well as how to find bargain craft supplies and some things you do with things around the house.

It keeps pulling me back in!
Hello, my name is Angela and I am addicted to genealogy. Okay, let me explain. About a week ago, I received 2 messages on Ancestry.com from a cousin and someone who is a distant relative- both from my Dad's side. I didn't have information that my cousin was searching for, but I did for my distant relative. So I went to my "family tree" on Ancestry and decided to do a little digging- but I didn't have a subscription so I couldn't click on those green leaf things that show up next to the names. I signed up for my 14-day trial... I shouldn't have.
Because my Mom has a rich history (apparently) on her side of the family, I decide to see how far I could go back and actually found my 6th great grandfather! I found it fascinating that he was born in South Carolina in the 1760's, which would have been BEFORE the Declaration of Independence was signed! I even found a land deed from 1820, when Martin van Buren was president.
While my Dad's side isn't as exciting, I did find out that most of his family was Polish, German, and Prussian. In fact, some records (though I haven't been able to authenticate it) say that my 3rd great grandmother and her husband came through Ellis Island in the 1800's from Prussia.
So after spending hours hovered over, clicking and looking, I thought I would take a few days off. But then Mom would be curious about an ancestor and would ask me to look it up. Once I found out that my 6th great grandfather was actually part of the original 13 colonies, I wanted to see what all I could dig up.
No matter how hard I try, genealogy keeps pulling me back in!

My Review:
To be honest, we have not had a chance to use the Zike Flyby Scooter yet... After I received the product a couple days later mother nature decided it was time for us to get some snow. What do you expect for Wisconsin, lol. It seems the snow over here is never going to end. If it's not snowing one day, it's raining and then the next thing you know your ice skating all over the sidewalks.
As you can see, I took a picture of this snow that has prevented us from having a good time with the flyby. If you look close you can also see some chunks of ice in there as well. It's not fun to walk in, trust me. My kids and I have to ice skate to my sons school and back home. There is a lot off falling, tripping and so on and so forth. But, enough about that, lol. Oh, that's another thing, now, I had some pictures of the Zike taken out of the box showing you what it looks like, how many pieces have to be assembled and all, but the phone took some pretty crappy photos so I wasn't able to add those... You do get to see the Zike assemble though.
This is the Zike Flyby Scooter. It was extremely simple to put together. My kids could have done it if they wanted to but I wouldn't let them though, lol. The only thing you have to put on is the front wheel, the handlebar and make some adjustments on the brakes. That's it!! It's simple to assemble. There is no need to fill any tires either so once you have this baby put together, you are ready to roll.
These are a few pictures of what the chain, petals, kick stand and all that other stuff looks like. I did try it out in the basement just to see if everything was adjusted right (and to make sure I didn't screw anything up, lol) and it works great. It did take a bit to get used to. I guess maybe it's because I haven't rode a bike or scooter in over 5 years that I forgot how these things work. Yes, 5+ years... Don't hate, lol. After I got the hang of it it was simple and fun to use for a short period of time because of the limited space the basement has. Here is some information on the Flyby Scooter:
The Flyby is the new cutting-edge phenomenon for kids ages 7 and up. A step up from the HotShot, the Flyby has a double chain system that can generate higher speeds. Well-built on a sleek, durable frame, this hybrid scooter takes the traditional scooter experience to a whole new level! No more pushing and coasting. It's time to fly!
· Fast, double-bracket chain system
· 9-inch polyurethane tires for less maintenance
· Designed for ages 7 to 10
· Designed for moderate speed and easy pedaling
· Handlebar and shaft detach from the frame in one step for easy storage
Here is a fun video of Zike's products in action:
And now for the moment you have been waiting for. This is the best part! I'm already shaking with excitement =)

Destiny Unveiled Review
ISBN: 0982674759
Published: April 2012
Pages: 274
10/10
DESCRIPTION:
Gabriella and Darron thought their magickal battle was over when they defeated the evil warlock, Richard. When her Aunt Donna seeks Gabriella's help in rescuing her catatonic daughter from the Dark Coven, Gabriella discovers that her cousin holds a power within her that would be catastrophic in the hands of the evil witches. Gabriella's coven sets out on a journey that may be their last. Along the way, they meet new allies, face devastating treachery, and battle not only the Dark Coven, but the darkness within themselves. When Gabriella finally comes face to face with the cousin she never knew existed, her true destiny is unveiled, and the fate of the mortal world is in her hands.
WHAT I THOUGHT:
This is the 2nd book in the Destiny series, and having read the first one, I was ready to dive into Destiny Unveiled!
After having defeat Richard, Darron's father, Gabriella and Darron thought they everything was okay until a long lost aunt (Donna) seeks Gabriella's help in getting Donna's daughter away from the Dark Coven. Instead of leaving behind Darron and her mortal friends, Gabriella and everyone (including Meranda, Donna's other daughter) head off to Miami to fight what could be their last fight ever.
This book is cleverly written with plenty of twists and turn. I rarely give books a full 10 unless I loved it, and I couldn't put this book down! The characters are so well written that you almost feel for them when they have triumphant moments or want to help when failure has befallen them. I know it sounds weird, but in some way, you can connect with each of the characters, even if it's Flora's fascination with the opposite sex.
This is one of those books that as you read, you can see it playing in your mind like a movie. If you enjoy witchy books with quirkiness and humor, the Destiny series is probably for you.

They also offer Jelly Beans, Chocolate Pops, Granola Bar-TANABAR, Metaball, and even baking chocolate for those who can't have nuts! Doesn't that Pretzel Caramel Bark look delicious?

BUY

WHAT WE THOUGHT
Mom cannot have nuts of any kind. She suffers from Meniere's disease, and nuts can cause an attack, which can also cause her to pass out if it's not watched closely. So I felt really bad when Twin and I would be enjoying chocolate with nuts in it and she couldn't. So I went in search of a place where she could have chocolate that didn't have any nuts and was from a nut-free facility.
We got to try out a wide variety of candy from Vermont Nut Free Chocolates. We also got to try the Skippers, but those didn't a chance to make it in the picture. We REALLY enjoyed everything!
Now the chocolate bars- the chocolate was so smooth! They just melted in your mouth, and Mom wanted more. She had first choice and she chose the Milk Chocolate bar. After she ate it, she had no problems with it as far as her Meniere's goes. In fact, we let gave her bites of the Dark and Crispy chocolate bars since she is finally able to enjoy chocolate.
The jelly beans? Talk about a burst of flavor! Flavors include lemon, grape, cherry, strawberry, orange and lime. When you put a bunch in your mouth, the flavor explodes. The Skippers tasted just like chocolate-covered candies- even the dark chocolate was decadent.
With Easter coming up and Mom now being able to enjoy chocolate, I'm thinking of getting her a chocolate Easter bunny from Vermont Nut Free!

Destiny Cover Reveal Giveaway!
Gabriella is a witch. The problem is, she doesn't remember.
She repressed the memories of her powers years ago when her mother was
murdered. Now, the warlock who was responsible for her mother's death has set
his sights on Gabriella. He is determined to use her fear to turn her to the
dark side of magick…even if it kills her. Her mother's spirit is reaching out
to warn her, but even that she pushes away. Desperate to save her daughter, the
spirit finds a male witch–one that just happens to be in love with Gabriella.
Darron is more than willing to help but the two young witches will have way
more to battle than just an evil warlock. There are overbearing jocks and petty
rich girls who get tempers flaring and often set Gabriella and Darron at odds.
There is more to the story than Gabriella and Darron could even
imagine. There are terrible secrets to be revealed, battles to be waged, and
lives will be lost. Only after Gabriella and Darron both come to terms with who
they really are, and open themselves up to the true meaning of magick, can they
have any hope of fulfilling their destiny.
Available on Amazon, Smashwords and Barnes & Noble.

The Giveaway
To celebrate the release of the new covers, Author Laura DeLuca is giving away a prize pack that includes a oil diffuser, incense and burner, decorative wooden keepsake box, lavender scented drawer liners, a crystal point, stone pendant, and signed copies of Destiny & Destiny Unveiled with the original covers.
The Whimsical Pixie Etsy
Shop is also donating a beautiful altar set inspired by the original
cover of Destiny Unveiled.
The book's cover was recreated on the altar box lid; the design was
first set in pyrography, painted, stain and given a protective coating
of high gloss polycrylic. The flower Celtic knot pentagram is worn by
Gabby and her friends as a symbol of unity and has been pyrographed on
the altar tile. Red paint was floated around the perimeter to
coordinate with the Blood Moon of the cover. A red rose in full bloom
was used on both millefiori* pieces; the censor and charcoal tongs. It
symbolizes the Gabby's destiny being unveiled.
A scene in the
book tells of the young hero doing spell work on the beach using a drift
wood wand to cast a circle and sea shells to form a pentagram. Both of
these have been included as well as censor sand and a roll of charcoal
disks so you can perform your own ritual. Whether you're just starting
to walk the path or have for years, this kit makes an attractive
addition to your ritual tools.
One lucky winner is going to receive both these fabulous prize packs. To enter, just fill in the Rafflecopter
form
below. This giveaway will end on 3/28/13. Open to
the US only. The
winner will be notified via email and will have 48 hours to reply.
