Glory Days by Max Lucado

Posted in Christian Life, and Reviews

I received a review copy of this book from Family Christian. Can I let you in on a little secret? I never intended on reviewing Glory Days. I had too much on my mind and plate, so I had planned on skipping this particular book this month, but the Lord had a different plan in mind. The book was already on its way to me, so I knew that I was meant to read it. While I am normally a fast reader, this book took me a few weeks to read because I honestly needed to digest the information within.…

Staying Hydrated: Glass Water Bottle Options

Posted in Outdoor Adventures, and Reviews

Recently, thanks to receiving some discounted glass water bottles and a tumbler to test out from 3 different companies, I’ve gotten hooked on glass water bottles. While glass water bottles aren’t exactly practical for hiking or other outdoor activities due to the higher probability for breakage, they are great for normal, everyday activities. I personally like the flavor of water and other beverages out of glass better than out of metal or plastic. This 15.2 oz. tumbler from Simple Eleven is an insulated (double walled) glass tumbler that is watertight and features a beautiful bamboo lid. The fine mesh tea…

Earth’s Catastrophic Past by Andrew Snelling

Posted in Reviews

I received a review copy of this 2-volume set to provide feedback based upon are use of the product. Munchkin plans on studying geology and biology with a focus in paleontology in college, so this 2 volume set was of great interest to her. She’s had some experience with the topics due to taking classes through AIG, so I was curious as to what she would think of the books. Here are her thoughts on the Earth’s Catastrophic Past Volume 1 & 2 by Andrew Snelling: The first volume states and meticulously answer many common questions including how many animals…

Project Truck: Safety Gear

Posted in Family, In the Garage, and Reviews

I received some safety gear – FSL Patriot Electronic Earmuffs – free from the company to provide feedback on their use. While they are great for the shooting range, they are also perfect for use when working on the project truck. Every time we start to make real progress on Munchkin’s truck, we seem to have things happen that put it on hold or back in slow mode. After my injury, the progress slowed downed considerably. Once Munchkin and Daddy both started back up with school, well, progress was virtually non-existent. There isn’t a lot of time for large projects,…
