Giveaway: Skizzer by A. J. Kiesling

-
Skizzer: A Novel

When Claire’s sister Becca vanishes from her home and leaves her husband a note telling him not to worry, Claire sets out on a journey to find her that will take her places she never imagined. Looking for her “Skizzer” (her childhood name for her sister) will take her through family secrets and a rediscovery of her faith.

I thought this book by AJ. Kiesling was a quick, captivating read. The storyline includes suspense and romance. The interaction between the sisters draws you in and reminds you how precious those family relationships can be.

Summer is a wonderful time to pick up a great book, and I would recommend this one. If you’re going on a long trip, sitting out at the beach or just curled up in your favorite chair, Skizzer would make a great companion.

You can buy Skizzer from Amazon for only $11.04 and it qualifies for FREE shipping when you reach a total of $25.

You can win a copy of Skizzer, right here . . .

NEW Giveaway: Crib Creations

-
Image
I love it when I can find a store that carries not just one thing I like, or a couple of things that are interesting . . . but ALL of their stuff makes me want to take it home with me. Crib Creation is the latest store to do just that. Owner of Crib Creation - Melanie - says she loves all things "baby" and hopes to carry a little bit of everything in her store. We had the privilege of reviewing one of her bibs and one of her burp cloths. Since Weston is just now a couple of weeks old, we have had plenty of opportunity to use both. Although we are primarily breastfeeding, we supplement with bottles when I am utterly exhausted or just don't seem to have enough milk to satisfy Weston. I hate that so many of our bibs are stained beyond redemption. But with this adorable bib, you don't have to worry about that. Even when he moves on to baby food and has issues with carrots and peas, it will be very hard to tell on this dark fabric. Also, as you can see, even the smal

Traditions

Not too long ago, I told you about my experience with Tropical Traditions organic coconut oil . Tropical Traditions was gracious enough to giveaway a bottle of that oil to one of the MelissaStuff readers. Recently, they offered to send me their palm shortening to try out. I love to bake so I was all about that offer. I was surprised when the “sample” arrived and it was a 1 gallon pail of shortening. I’m pretty sure that’s enough to make cookies for the next decade or so! Fair warning – when you go to use this for the first time, know that it will be difficult to get the lid off and if you aren’t particularly handy, you might want to have someone else around to help you. I didn’t and it took me about ten minutes, several different tools, and even breaking the tip off of an industrial file before I could get it. The shortening inside looks pretty normal, maybe a little less thick than standard shortening. I think it looks almost like mayonnaise. But it’s easy to scoop out and l

Organic Detergent? {Giveaway}

-
Image
So technically, I don’t think this detergent is actually organic, but it is non-toxic and environmentally safe. Can you say that for your detergent? This product was a surprise to me. I’m not picky about my detergent, but the only thing I do care about is how my detergent smells. Before I used Tropical Traditions Powdered Laundry Detergent I was concerned that it would have a chemical smell or worse the clothes would end up not smelling clean. But it smells GREAT without having any specific scent to it . . . it just smells clean . One thing that’s nice is it only takes 2 oz. to wash an entire load, so this fairly small container will do quite a number of loads – 40 to be exact. Right now, this size container is on sale for $16.99, but you can win it for FREE!
