I crave salt.  I salt everything twice, which I know is not healthy for me.  

According to Laura J. Lefkowitz, M.D. "Every major health study on hypertension conducted in the past five years points to high sodium as a top health problem in the U.S.  Nutrasalt is quite interesting because it provides the perfect balance of sodium and potassium without increasing sugar and caloric intake.  It really is a better salt."

Amber is entering her third year of orthodontic treatment.  When she had her Herbst Appliance it wasn't too difficult a job to brush and keep her teeth clean.  The full set of braces on the other hand has made tooth brushing a challenge for her.  After outlaying as much money as we have, we want to try and ensure as much as possible a bright smile when the bling has been removed.

One would not think a 13 year old would get excited over a Waterpik Ultra Dental Water Jet.  Yet this new acquisition of hers is shown off to everyone who walks through our doors.

Amber is very picky when it comes to clothing.  It must be this color, or that design.  It can't have ribbons, or bows.  And definitely NO PINK.  Through Twitter Moms, I found a fabulous site for her, where she can design her own clothes, and can get just what she wants, it's called Fashion Playtes.

I was so excited when I received this amazing and totally personal handmade pendant in the mail the other day!

I would love to be more crafty but I just don't have the time or the ideas to make handmade gifts for people.  

When I had the chance to review Our Handmade Gifts custom pendant service, I knew right away what I would put on a custom pendant.  Amber draws such wonderful characters in her sketch books all the time, and I was so excited to put one of those on a piece of jewelry for her.  (I ♥ handmade items!)

Made by Firece Fun Toys, whose mission is to promote laughter, staying involved in helping others and maintaining the highest quality standards for their products, Norman PhartEphant is sure to get a smile out of the crowd.  And it wouldn't surprise me at all if you know one particular person who would fall in love with this toy.

MoZella defined in a couple of words.  Animated.  Pleasant to listen to.  (Okay that was more than just a couple of words, I could go on and on...)

Unknown by name to me before (and perhaps you as well), MoZella's appealing voice has been on the t.v. for the new Verizon android phone, Nivea, Mercedes Benz....chances are you've heard her too.

I have a lot of things on my list every year that I want for Christmas, sometimes I get them, sometimes I don't, but they are on my list every year.

A few years ago, I started adding more "comfort" things to the list.  Items that were fuzzy, warm and comfy.  My family knows that they will have a happy girl on their hands if a gift contains all three of those things.  So imagine my delight when I was asked to review the Chenille Lounge Socks from PatientStyle.com.

God's love and grace covers unexpected pain in life.  What He does reflects how He created pearls to be formed.  He uses the grit and dirt to make a pearl, much like He transforms the pain in our lives into victory.

Margaret McSweeney recognized that many of us can relate to being Pearl Girls, because we've been there ourselves, or we're currently going through it, or we'll be there in the future, and so she put together a selection of stories written by women, many of which you may already be familiar with, to share their "pearl" story.

Hickory Farms has great gift basket ideas. I have often had to buy a gift, not having a clue as to what the person wants or needs. Have you ever had that experience? Yeah, I thought so. During the holiday season we often have to buy gifts for teachers, co-workers, business colleagues, and really know nothing about what they would like or their hobbies. But what better way to show your appreciation for what they have done through the year, than by giving them a consumable gift from Hickory Farms.
