Care for Creation - Book review




Reviewed by my 12 & 9 y/o daughters, myself, and my 9 y/o son: The book "Care for creation", is a great read for parents and kids alike. In the writing, you can learn ways to help yourselves and the environment around you, but in a kid friendly way.In all honesty, we all feel that this book is a GREAT concept. My family is always looking for ways to better ourselves and our planet, so that when my children grow up and have children of their own, that the heart will still be inhabitable, and this book is a great way for parents and teachers to show children how to do things to protect ourselves and our environment. My children loved the artwork, and were actually looking for more ways to recycle and take care of things around our home after reading this. I would definitely recommend this book, to anyone.

Slippery Willie's Stupid, Ugly Shoes - Review




This book was reviewed by my 12 y/o and 9 y/o daughters and my 9 y/o son. They felt that the beginning was a little repetitive, and that the plot was a "little weird". They all three seemed to think that the shoes were way too weird, in that even if he had super slippery feet, that the shoes would not look like giant robot shoes.

In my opinion, I thought that the read had great intentions. The overall theory of the book is a great idea. We were all kids once, and we all at one time, were probably made fun of because we were different, so this book has a great idea behind it. However I do have to agree with my children, when they say that it seems a little repetitive in the beginning. Overall a good read though.

Slippery Willie Synopsis:
Willie Wiggles hates his slippery feet. He just slips, slides and spins all over the place. But what he hates even more are the special shoes that have been made for him that will help him to walk just like all the other kids. Willie thinks that they are the "stupidest, ugliest shoes in the whole world."

Discover how sometimes we worry about things about ourselves when actually there is nothing to worry about in the first place.

A Different Kind of Hero ebook - Review



As part of my review, I let my 3 younger children read A different kind of hero, and the review was based on their thoughts.

Review by 12 y/o female: I felt that the beginning of the book, started off slow. However once the book got going, it became a lot funnier. I really like the part where the monkey covered the guys eyes and took the keys with his tail, and turned off the bulldozer so it couldnt cut down the trees in the forest. The pictures are really cool, because the money looks funny.

Review by 9 y/o female: I thought it was a really great book, because the middle of the story was very funny. The pictures were really cool and funny.

Review by 9 y/o boy: My favorite part was the pictures. The book is pretty exciting and it had a lot of adventure in it. I was also glad that there was a happy ending to it. I would like to read more books like this.

BrytonPick - FLOSS In Seconds ---- REVIEW




I received a package of BrytonPick - FLOSS In Seconds for review from Tomoson.com. When first opening the mail, I noticed that the package was great, with bright colors, and t looks interesting. I did however upon first glance of the pick, get a little discouraged, due to the pick looking a little thick, and metal. I was afraid that it would fit in the cracks of my teeth, to get the debris out, and that the feeling of the metal may bother me, however once trying it, I changed my opinion. I was actually happy with the way it cleaned particles of food out, its light feel, and the metal, was not metal at all, and didnt bother me at all. It worked better than I expected, and is definitely worth purchasing to try it out.

My Caring Cross - Review (from Tomoson.com)




Yesterday I received the My Caring Cross for review from Tomoson.com. My first impression of the packaging it came in was unexpected. The cross itself came in a nice velour outside bag,and I felt this was a great way to spark interest in the cross. Now on to the cross itself. I was actually surprised at the cross as well, as it was so sturdy. It is a beautiful stained wood textured cross. A lot more stable and sturdy than what I expected to receive.
I also carried it with me last night when I took my children out for Halloween, and I was aked about it. I was able to let a few individuals know where it came from and how much it would be to order the item. A few were impressed,and were very interested. I will add a further review once I display the Cross in more settings.


Our Mission is to help Christians in Bethlehem
Issa is a Christian living on the outskirts of Bethlehem and has been carving crosses and religious items his whole life to support his wife and three children. Twenty years ago my mother met Issa on a visit to Bethlehem and began importing his olive wood handicrafts. With the decline in Bethlehem tourism, Issa and other Christian Artisans are struggling. Our aim is to support them by providing a market for olive wood crosses direct to Christians in America.

The Olivewood Cross
Caring Crosses are individually carved from a single unique piece of beautifully grained olive wood pruned from the olive trees around Bethlehem the birthplace of Jesus. Christians have been carving crosses like this for hundreds of years, originally for pilgrims and more recently tourists visiting the Holy Land. Each craftsman receives a fair price to support their family and Christian community. The Caring Cross is designed to fit comfortably into the palm of your hand as an aid to prayer or meditation. Ideal as your spiritual companion for easing children's fears, comforting worries and stresses of adults and focusing the prayer of the sick and elderly.


My readers can purchase 2 crosses with cards and bag and postage within the US for $10, a $2 discount. To be directed to this special page, you will need to click
