Silver Dolphin Books Review & Giveaway

Posted on June 15, 2009July 18, 2009 by Erin

I indulge in the opportunity to read wonderful books. So, it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside when I learn about new places to purchase great books for me and for my children. I nearly jumped with joy when I learned about Silver Dolphin Books.

They are worth the look see, hands down. Silver Dolphin Books publishes activity, novelty, and educational nonfiction books for preschoolers to 12-year-olds. Silver Dolphin Books is an award winning company. Several of their books have won the Parent’s Choice awards. (You can click here to see the extensive list)

Out of Silver Dolphin’s generosity, we were able to review the Nursery Rhymes (A Nursery Collection Book) by Susie Lacome & Beth Harwood and the book Amazing Baby Go, Baby, Go! by Beth Harwood, Emma Dodd, Jonathan Lambert.

The Amazing Baby Go, Baby, Go book comes from their popular Amazing Baby series. This series has 28 titles to date its one of the largest series by Silver Dolphin for babies. My daughter enjoyed me reading this book to her. She smiled and giggled back at the brightly colored graphics and baby pictures in the book with each turning page. I as mommy loved that this book is an indestructible board book with makes it safe for reading time if I want to let her browse through the pages alone. I like also that this book is not to wordy, I’ve other baby books and my daughter loses interest quickly because I’m not turning the page quick enough when trying to read through. What makes this book fun is that at the end, there is a heart shaped photo frame where you can insert your very own picture of your Amazing Baby!

The Nursery Collection book, I can see myself pulling off the shelf for years and years to come. This book is beautifully illustrated with it’s soft pastel colored embossed pages and images. One added decorative feature I like is the ribbon tie that you can make into a bow to close the book. This book is filled with well loved nursery rhymes, fairy tales, and lullabies that we all grew up with. When reading through, I couldn’t help but remember when my mom read to me out of our own family nursery rhyme book. I’d been looking for a nursery rhyme book to add to my home library and now my search is over because this is in my mind the perfect in every way I can imagine.

Other books I’d love to add to my collection are various titles from the Wonders Inside, History in Action, and the Fine Art Studio Series! I’d really love to own all of the books they offer, I have to remind myself that money doesn’t grow on trees though all of their books are reasonably priced!

100 Bible Stories 100 Bible Songs by: Stephen Elkins

100 Bible Stories, 100 Bible Songs
By Stephen Elkins

Once again am I impressed with the work of Stephen Elkins. If you know anything about this author, you know he is the author of many other loved christian children book such as one of my favorite titles, LullaBible A to Z Promise Book: Baby’s First Bible Promises. I’ve owned the promise book for a few months and have quite enjoyed reading it to my daughter and listening to the accompanying cd.

“100 Bible Stories, 100 Bible Songs” is one of Stephens latest works. This book is geared toward preschoolers, though my 12 month daughter really enjoys listening/dancing along to the two accompanying hymn & filled cd’s that go along with the stories, as well as looking at the beautifully illustrated pages along side of me.I look forward to the days when my daughter will take to heart these easy to comprehend renditions of well know Bible stories with their simple to understand life applications.

“100 Bible Stories, 100 Bible Songs” I highly recommended for families, churches, and libraries of all kinds.

Body Systems Natural Body Butter Review

Posted on June 8, 2009July 18, 2009 by Erin

I was recently given the opportunity to try out my my very first body butter by

Body Systems. I wasn’t sure what to expect and imagined something with the consistency of butter! The consistency to my surprise was smooth and creamy, overall very easy to apply! Though the cocoa butter fragrance wasn’t for me, I enjoyed how this product left my skin feeling soft, silky, and hydrated.

Cocoa butter has been called the ultimate moisturizer, and has been used to keep skin soft and supple for centuries. High in essential fatty acids and antioxidants, it is one of the most stable, highly concentrated natural fats available, and melts at body temperature so that it is readily absorbed into the skin.

What makes Body Systems’ Body Butters unique is that their products are free of any chemicals including Parabens, Phthalates, or Petro-Chemicals, are never tested on animals, contain no fillers and are perfect for doing Double, Triple or even Quadruple Duty!

Classy Nail Files Review

Posted on June 6, 2009July 18, 2009 by Erin

I had heard of the popular trend of crystal nail files but never myself had tried them out before today. Boy, I was really missing out! These nails files work great if you have weak nails or if you are looking to keep them growing stronger and healthier.

The nail file that I tried out is from the company Classy Nail Files. I was sent a the Cross w/Crystal Hand Painted File in the medium size 5 1/2. The fact that this file is cute only adds to the fact that it’s super useful as well. Did you know that regular use of glass nail file reduces chipping, peeling and splitting of nails? I didn’t know that! I clipped both my daughter and my own nails and then went at them with this file. No rough edges and no hard work! I’m kissing all my emery boards goodbye, even the ones for my daughter.

So, Classy Nail Files is all round a better choice! If you aren’t sold yet, let me tell you some more great facts!

The Facts:

They have a variety of sizes in, Small – 3 1/2″, Medium 5 1/2″, and Large 7″.
The filing surface is etched into the crystal and is guaranteed to never wear out.
They are GREEN and since they are washable, they won’t fill up landfills!
They are not made in China.

I highly, highly recommend these nail files. I believe the lasting quality justifies the slightly higher price of crystal nail files, over emery boards.

Buy It: www.classynailfiles.com these board range from $8.00 to $26.00 for a set of three in various sizes.
