Pink Tears: by Hana Goldberg

Today I am conducting another review for Giveaway Services. On a children's book called Pink Tears written by Hana Goldberg as I was sent a code to download it from Amazon. But the thoughts in the review are all mine and mine alone.

This Summer in our home has been up and down as there is days when all the kids in the neighborhood wanted to be here to play with Charlie. Then there is other days when they all play and do not want Charlie to play. Or there is days when one or two of the boys are here playing and someone else comes up to play and they say they do not want that person here. 

So this book was great for us as I sat down to read it to Charlie and he understood exactly how Lolly felt and Promised to me more kinder. Then asked if we could read it to his friends so they would all understand as well. Which made me feel so Proud as I could tell he did not want to hurt others feelings and that Pink Tears helped him. 

The story line is great for children of all ages even if they are not sad because it gives them a chance to know that if they become sad it is OK to cry. As I read it to Charlie I explained to him that even as a adult I have become sad in the past and had to figure out why. Especially when my daughter was killed. 

The funny part was Charlie wanted to know if he could turn blue when he was sad and if his tears could be Pink so I would always know he was upset. Which I think would be nice. But it does not work like that. 

All in all this book kept all the children engaged as it was not too long. They enjoyed the pictures a lot. Especially the cover. Charlie says it was OK that it was about a girl because boys do not cry. But once we finished the book he said it would have been okay if it had had a boy in it as they can be sad too. 

Once David heard what we was talking about he even told Charlie he gets sad sometimes and has cried in the past. Which has brought Charlie and David much closer together. Because before Charlie thought his dad was perfect and that is not the case. 

I would purchase this book to give as Gifts. Plus I will be checking Charlies school to see if they have it in the Library as I think it would make a nice addition. If they do not I will purchase it for the school as they can never have to many books.

"One day, when everyone was playing with everyone else, nobody played with Lolly. She stood apart, tears filling her throat..."

Aeropress Metal Filter

Both my mother when she was still here and my husband would drink COFFEE from sun up to sun down and never get tired of it. So we was always purchasing Coffee Filters and there was times when we ran out and they would have to run to the restaurant to get Coffee because sometimes stores would be closed. 

So when I found this I knew it would save us both money and time as well as gas. The only thing is now my mother is not here and David can not drink Coffee the way he used to. So I decided to let my mother n law try it out as she make a pot of Coffee every morning and she loved it. She has since purchased several to give as Gifts. 

I even used it to make Iced Tea with as we use the Coffee Pot and I always use a filter encase the Tea Bags bust so the grounds do not end up in my tea. This stops that problem. Plus it does not end up soaking up and tearing causing paper to end up in our Coffee or Tea.

Momnesia I am one and I am "PROUD" of it. Are you one???

She's smart, pretty, and runs her own business. So then why does she feel so dead inside? Between work, two kids, and a husband who finds her about as exciting as furniture shopping, this is the story of a (formerly-exciting but now way-too-typical) suburban mom who diagnoses herself with Momnesia and sets about finessing a new version of her old vivaciousness: Momnesia (mahm-nee-zhuh) -noun- Loss of the memory of who you used to be. Caused by pregnancy, play dates, and trying to keep the house cleaner than the Joneses. She finds some adventure pursing her own interests, and does make some new friends (including the battery operated variety), but still feels like nothing more than a caretaker. In between dealing with her husband's manic-depresssive behavior, drama with her friends, and some naughty Internet escapades, she ponders, Is it that I haven't been myself? Or is it that I am being myself, but just different than I used to be? This is one of those books every women should read. I tell you I am going to share it with all my Girlfriends. I think we should invest in one of her shot glasses and also one of her sweat shirts and go and pour us our favorite drinks and hide until we have all read the book and had time to finish it as it does make you think. I wonder if ""OPRAH:" would consider using it in her book club? As her and Gayle should take the time to read it. Even though they are not moms I am sure that they can relate to parts of the story. This book has showed me that I can do anything. Glenda

Holy Moley To The Bat Cave

How many times as a child did you hear this? As for me it was a lot as my brother never missed a Batman show. I thought when I grew up I would never have to watch them again and low and behold I was wrong. Along came Suzzane and 4 years later my nephew and they got hooked on it. There where many days we could hear them playing. Suzzane was always Robin and David batman. Know here we go agsin with the Batman toys as Charlie is getting to where he is always wanting to play with them. It is fun to know that Batman has come this far. But there is someday as I do not want to hear his name as it makes me miss Suzzane so much more. Yesterday was one of those days as it was the day she was killed. But Charlie wanted to play and he wanted to have someone over and so I knew the best way to keep them in there room was to take out the items we had gotten for the Batman Party we hosted. I am so glad I did take them out as they had so much fun. The funny part is Charlie would not let anyone play with his Robin he put it up and told them it was his moms. The Batman Toys we played with yesterday where these ones.

This is the one that Charlie would not allow anyone to play with and it is going up on a shelf in his room as a reminder to Suzzane and how much we both Love her.

Since I was sent so many wonderful items for Charlie and his friends to try out this is all I had gotten out yesterday. I thought that since we had had the party and they knew there where a lot more that they would fuss. I also thought they would be mad because I did not get out the Bastmobile but they where not. As I told them that if they where good and took care of those and helped clean there rooms once they where done playing they could come back today and we would get some different ones out. So Charlie is still asleep but his friend Kegan is not and he has already been down here knocking on the door wanting to know if Charlie was up. So as you see with these new Batman toys my house is the house to be. Why don't you bring your children over to play and we can have a adults conversation. Unless your like me and these are calling you to come and play if so we can see if the boys will share and we can have our own party. I know if David and Kegan's dad Marco had it there way they would have a party. Today I am even going to let them watch the move we got. Glenda
