Our First Dance by P Nelson
Boderier Multilayer Beads Heart Gold Anklet Bracelet
I love jewelry!! I am more of a plain kind of jewelry girl then the bold and flashy bling though. So when I saw this pretty anklet I knew I had to have it. There are 3 different chains attached to the anklet. The come in different sizes in order to create the swag. The lengths are 8.8 inches 9 inches and 9.8 inches with a 2 inch extender, so it will fit most ankles.
The chans are made of brass with a gold overlay. The beads on the chains or in place and do not move around. The lobster clasp on mine is very nice and tight, it is not loose at all. I have worn the anklet a few times now and have no problems with it coming loose.
I am a flip flop kind of girl and live in Florida so can pretty much wear flip flops ad sandals year round. This anklet looks great with either flip flops and sandals. It also looks great with heels. it is pretty enough to wear anywhere and anytime. From flopping around at the beach to dressing up and going out.
V28 Women Girls Junior Pleated Tulle Tutu Ballet Midi Elastic Skater Dance Skirt
This is a very pretty long tutu. It has 5 layers of tulle and 1 layer of a soft lining. I like that it is not see through and I do not have to add a slip underneath. It comes mid calf on me and I am 5'6. The elastic waist band is covered in the same lining fabric as underneath the skirt.
The skirt is machine washable in cold or warm water. I chose cold water on the gentle cycle and hung it to dry. i did not notice any fading, color bleed, or shrinking after washing and drying the skirt.
Even with 6 layers of fabric being as 5 of the layers are tulle the skirt is not hot to wear. It is a bit heavier to me then most clothing and skirt I usually wear, but it really isn't heavy to the point of being uncomfortable. I do love the flow to it. It swings around nicely when I mean.
I chose the blue tutu but I loved that V28 offers 17 colors to choose from and 6 sizes. I chose my normal size and it fits great. The waist band is very stretchy and comfortable. But you should always read the sizing chart.There is a sizing chart listed though.
Mr ROS Mens Daily Multivitamins Pack
My husband is a big believer in taking vitamins on a daily basis. He is 60 and has no health problems at all so I have to admit he may be right. Don't tell him I said that. Every Sunday evening he fills one of the pills boxes for the week with his different vitamins for the week. When I saw these Men's Daily multivitamin packs by Mr. ROS I figured we would give them a try. He can now have all of his vitamins and not have to go through dragging all the bottles out on the table and filling each day in his 7 day pill box. He can just pull out one of the packs every morning and be done with it.
Each packet comes with 3 capsules, 3 tablets, and 1 soft gel. These include multivitamins, mineral complexes, essential fatty acids and herbal extracts. With full days supply of most nutrients needed to live a healthy life you will see benefits in energy levels, faster recovery from fatigue and stress, ensure healthy bones, eyes, relax your muscles, boost your metabolism, eliminate free radicals through potent antioxidant action, and a lot more.
My husband has been taking these about a week now. So far he has had no adverse reactions to any of the pills, and is enjoying not having to fill his weekly pill box. There is a 30 day supply, each is prepackaged, just pull out a packet, cut the top off and done.

BOOK SPOTLIGHT TOUR: A Spoonful of Grace by Annette Hubbell
Book Details:
Book Title: A Spoonful of Grace: Mealtime Blessings in Bite-sized Pieces
Category: Christian Living; 444 pages
Genre: Family devotional, Children's devotional
Publisher: Credo House Publishers
Release date: Feb 2017
Tour dates: Aug 7 to 25, 2017
Content Rating: G
Book Description:
Just 2 minutes each day can change your family meal time for a lifetime.
A Spoonful of Grace is a collection of 366 evening meal graces taken from all 66 books of the Bible and designed to provide meaningful exposure to prayer and the Bible at a most opportune time: the family evening meal.
The Scripture/grace devotions are inviting, can be grasped at several levels, and are brief enough (about two minutes) to hold the attention of hungry kids. Here's why:
- Each day has an application section called Grace Notes: ideas and quotes to further illustrate the message and stimulate conversation.
- Sundays are for Story Graces. These 52 devotions are a bit longer to afford the suspenseful, engrossing reading of stories such as David and Goliath, Daniel in the lions’ den, and Jonah and the big fish.
- Special Graces are celebrations such as Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas, birthdays.
- Each grace:
- Supports discussions of God’s attributes and of faith-based values, offering moral examples like forgiveness, friendship, honesty, trust, even table manners.
- Creates curiosity about the Bible and ways in which Scripture can be applied to today’s issues.
- Demonstrates how the act of praying together lifts one’s own spirit; fosters praise; and increases mutual feelings of appreciation, gratefulness, and accountability.
- Teaches without overt instruction, similar to hiding extra veggies in the spaghetti sauce.
- Remind us that our food, as well as God’s countless other daily blessings, is a gift.

THE LOOK OF LOVE
Chloe Peterson is having a bad night. A really bad night. The large bruise on her cheek can attest to that. And when her car skids off the side of a wet country road straight into a ditch, she's convinced even the gorgeous guy who rescues her in the middle of the rain storm must be too good to be true. Or is he?
As a successful photographer who frequently travels around the world, Chase Sullivan has his pick of beautiful women, and whenever he's home in San Francisco, one of his seven siblings is usually up for causing a little fun trouble. Chase thinks his life is great just as it is--until the night he finds Chloe and her totaled car on the side of the road in Napa Valley. Not only has he never met anyone so lovely, both inside and out, but he quickly realizes she has much bigger problems than her damaged car. Soon, he is willing to move mountains to love--and protect--her, but will she let him?
FROM THIS MOMENT ON
For thirty-six years, Marcus Sullivan has been the responsible older brother, stepping in to take care of his seven siblings after their father died when they were children. But when the perfectly ordered future he's planned for himself turns out to be nothing but a lie, Marcus needs one reckless night to shake free from it all.
Nicola Harding is known throughout the world by only one name - Nico - for her catchy, sensual pop songs. Only, what no one knows about the twenty-five year old singer is that her sex-kitten image is totally false. After a terrible betrayal by a man who loved fame far more than he ever loved her, she vows not to let anyone else get close enough to find out who she really is...or hurt her again. Especially not the gorgeous stranger she meets at a nightclub, even though the hunger - and the sinful promises - in his dark eyes make her want to spill all her secrets.
CAN’T HELP FALLING IN LOVE
Gabe Sullivan risks his life every day as a firefighter in San Francisco. But after learning a brutal lesson about professional boundaries, he knows better than to risk his heart to his fire victims ever again. Especially the brave mother and daughter he saved from a deadly apartment fire...and can't stop thinking about.
Megan Harris knows she owes the heroic firefighter everything for running into a burning building to save her and her seven-year-old daughter. Everything except her heart. Because after losing her navy pilot husband five years ago, she has vowed to never suffer through loving - and losing - a man with a dangerous job again.

The Devil’s Revolver by V. S. McGrath, book blitz
The Devil’s Revolver
V. S. McGrath
(The Devil’s Revolver Series, #1)
Publication date: September 5th 2017
Genres: Fantasy, Young Adult
She is Hettie Alabama — unlikely, scarred, single-minded, and blood bound to a revolver forged by a demon.
The first book in an epic, magic-clad series featuring the Wild West reimagined as a crosscultural stereoscope of interdimensional magic and hardship, The Devil’s Revolver opens with a shooting competition and takes off across the landscape after a brutal double murder and kidnapping — to which revenge is the only answer. Hettie Alabama, only seventeen years old, leads her crew of underdogs with her father’s cursed revolver, magicked to take a year off her life each time she fires it. It’s no way for a ranch girl to grow up, but grow up she does, her scars and determination to rescue her vulnerable younger sister deepening with every year of life she loses.
A sweeping and high-stakes saga that gilds familiar Western adventure with powerful magic and panoramic fantasy, The Devil’s Revolver is the last word and the blackest hat in the Weird West.

EXCERPT:
Hettie couldn’t say what had woken her; her eyes had simply snapped open and she’d known something was amiss.
Sure enough, she found the rope had been chewed through, the frayed ends still wet. Dammit, Abby. This was the third time in two weeks. She yanked her coat over her thin nightgown, grabbed her boots and Winchester and padded quickly down the stairs. Outside, she pushed her bare feet into the cold, hard leather and checked her rifle’s action, loading it quickly. Coyotes were often seen roaming the ranch, and there’d been rumors of a pack of wolves roving the hills. But out here, it was men Hettie was more afraid of.
