NEW FAVORITE MUSIC

I first heard about this amazing jazz singer at a community jazz performance. They sang this song and they were good, but Esperanza Spalding is so much better! I love jazz and she is wonderful (the song starts at :42) – enjoy!

Book Talk: All the World

all the world childrens picture book review

I’m rather choosy about my children’s books, and this one is a smash at our house. All the World is a beautiful picture book that I do not get tired of reading to my sons. Both the illustrations and the message are wonderful.

SkinCareScoop.com Template

Hi this is Boyd, Kelsey’s husband.  We are working on a site called skincarescoop.com.  The current template of the site, in my opinion is a little weird.  I’d appreciate it if a few of you awesome readers would go check it out and leave a comment on any post on that site about your thoughts on the look and feel of the site.

Biometric Gun Safe – Do You Have A Fingerprint?

Home protection is something that everyone needs to start thinking about, in my opinion.  But don’t just stop at the thinking stage–take action.  Hopefully you will never have to use a gun to protect you and yours but there is a quote that I heard that sent shivers through my spine: “I would rather have a gun and hopefully never need to use it than to not have a gun and find myself in a situation where I need one”.  Or something like that.

Tulip Festival Winner!

The winner of the tickets is #2, Katie! She said, “I love how the barn yard is so cheap, we go there frequently, and we always go to the Scarecrow festival, so that is my favorite, I have wanted to go for years to the tulip festival (it is my FAVORITE flower), but just never have the extra money to go!”
