Sterling Childrens Books


Thanks to Sterling Children's Books, we were sent some fun new books!!



Doyle and Fossey are on a mission—a monster mission! It seems there’s a giant bloodsucking monster gasping and gurgling in their friend Gabby’s garbage can. Can they figure out what’s up before the creature gobbles Gabby for lunch? This and four more cool cases will have kids checking out the clues—and learning great science too, including facts about the life cycle of a frog and chromatography.


Did Zoe really poison her twin sister Chloe? What’s the best way to rescue a super-sized pig trapped in a deep, deep hole? And how can you stop a chilly ghost from wrecking a tree-house sleepover? Fifth-grade supersleuths (and science whizzes) Doyle and Fossey are about to find out—and young readers will love learning the solutions!



Who you gonna call to ghostbust a graveyard spook? Doyle and Fossey, that’s who! They’re on the job and ready to free a snobby girl from a tight situation, uncover the culprit who’s ruining some prize roses, nab a dangerous smuggler of rare animals, and of course…reveal the truth about that pesky ghost!



Is there a creepy creature lurking in Mossy Lake? Is an evil plot stirring? Is something shocking happening to Caitlin’s cat Zappy—and can he be de-zapped? Would-be scientists and detectives will want to slip into their lab coats, dust off their test tubes, and get on the case with Drake Doyle and Nell Fossey. Hint: to find the answers, kids will have to use such scientific principles as buoyancy and static electricity.



Science super-sleuths Drake Doyle and Nell Fossey are back—this time in a never-before-published addition to the popular series! They’ve got an exciting collection of cases, too: Are ghosts and ghouls keeping Edgar Glum awake? Have aliens invaded Mossy Swamp? What’s the crooked game everyone’s losing at the carnival? And why is the town bridge going bananas? Kids will have fun following the clues—and learning about such real scientific principles as amplification, ecosystems, magnetic fields, and more. Plus, budding Doyles and Fosseys will find actual experiments to try!

We love reading books at our house! Therefore, we were thrilled when we were recently given the opportunity to review a fun series of books! In this Doyle & Fossey Series, kids will find a mix of science, mystery and humor all in one story. My little ones just loved this engaging series because what kids doesn't enjoy reading about young scientists who can outsmart adults?!?! I love these book as well! They are not only fun to read, but they teach my children something too. These books will definitely be on the bookshelf in my classroom for all of my students to enjoy! We highly suggest that you check them out as well!

Thanks so much to Sterling Children's Books for providing us with these books to review!

New Healthy Choice Steaming Entrées



My husband and I pack a lunch everyday so we are always trying to find something new that taste great while still being good for us. I enjoy a hot lunch, so with my limited time for lunch, I usually opt for a frozen dinner. There are tons of frozen dinners available but finding one that taste good seems to be a challenge. Healthy Choice has always been a trusted name in our house so we were excited when we were given the opportunity to try some of their new steaming entrees!

The new Healthy Choice steaming entrées showcase fewer and identifiable ingredients (vegetables frozen at the peak of freshness and generous cuts of white-meat chicken and even shrimp) through the innovative, clear packaging – so what you see is what you get, with no hidden ingredients. I also appreciate the price of these Healthy Choice dinners. Priced at $2.50 or so, they are a great value.

The key to the new entrées is steam, which unlocks the fresh taste and vibrant flavors of the large-cut, quality ingredients. An innovative steam-release vent in the film ensures a convenient cook time of about four minutes, without any need for extra steps like poking, peeling or stirring.

My favorite was definitely the Roasted Chicken Verde!! You can give your lunch some south-of-the-border flair with this zesty dinner. Exotic cilantro-lime sauce brings out the fresh flavors of sweet corn, red and poblano peppers, moist chicken tenderloins, and whole-grain rice. We enjoyed our new steaming entrees and suggest that you give them a try as well!

Also, be sure to visit and "like" the Healthy Choice brand Facebook page at www.Facebook.com/HealthyChoice.
I wrote this review while participating in a blog campaign by Mom Central on behalf of Healthy Choice and received samples of their new steaming entrées to facilitate my candid review. Mom Central also sent me a gift card to thank me for taking the time to participate.

Living Without Reservations


Steps to a Do-It-Yourself Eat Pray Love Experience

At the tender age of 44 years old, Barbara Singer decided to reinvent her life. In one tense and anxiety filled year, her only child went off to school, she got divorced, and then fell in love with a new man, but then he suddenly died. She found herself looking down the barrel of twenty years in a corporate sweathouse until retirement, chasing money and running on the 7 AM to 10 PM treadmill of the American Dream. She knew she could not keep up this crazy pace and remain sane and successful. She was no longer interested building wealth. She wanted freedom, adventure, travel and romance.

So she jumped off the track. She gave up her career and travelled across country in an RV from Pennsylvania to Alaska and back. She lived on a sailboat in the Caribbean. Then she went to Italy and spent four months living in Tuscany.
In her new book Living Without Reservations she shares how she did it and offers an arsenal of ideas about how anyone can have an Eat, Pray, Love experience themselves and reinvent and re-engineer their own lives to truly build the life they dream about.

Barbara says that you don’t need to earn a lot of money. Without the trappings of the American lifestyle, it actually takes very little money to live. The real goal in life is to collect experiences and enjoy people, not just to go shopping and buy and collect stuff. You can live and travel when and where you choose without incurring great expense.

Living Without Reservations chronicles her odyssey around the world and describes the many challenges and decisions she made along the way.

Barbara offers up insights into what decisions need to be specifically addressed as one works through the adventure of personal discovery. This book offers a roadmap for making a personal transformation that allows you to slowly and steadily develop, realize and achieve one’s own personal vision.

Living Without Reservations is for all those who say some day. This book will definitely inspire you to take that leap of faith and starting living your dreams. This was a great read. Her bravery throughout the book is very inspiring. This book leaves you feeling assured that know matter what lies ahead, you have the power to deal with whatever comes your way. This was a hard book to put down as I totally enjoyed "travelling" with Barbara. We highly suggest that you check it out.

For more information visit www.BarbaraElaineSinger.com.
We received a copy of this book for review!
