Whereas their green bottle, Johnson's Natural Head to Toe, not only has a push pump, it is also tear free, works great to lather and clean, but comes off without making him a slippery baby (which is potentially dangerous).

It’s a beautiful, sunny day and as usual Terry is sitting up in his tree fort, enjoying the view. From his perch he spots some Cuckoo birds and cannot believe that it could already be spring. He looks around spotting other signs and realizes it is indeed spring.
Then he spots a little baby bear exploring the world for the first time, who he names Barry. He really wants to hop down and play with Barry, but just then the baby bears mother shows up and calls him back into the woods. She doesn’t look like fun to play with, so he stays in his tree, sad that they left. Very soon after, he hears the mother bear crying for help – Barry is in danger. Can Terry get him out of the hole? Will Barry and Terry be able to play together? Read the book to find out!
This fifth book in the best selling Terry Treetop series is one of my favourites so far (and I’ve read/reviewed the other four). I love how much we learn about spring, bears and their habitats. I also like that he keeps his distance from the bears, since we don’t want to send the message to young children it’s cool or okay to play with dangerous wild animals. The pictures, as always, are meaningful to the written passage and very bright/colourful. This book is suggested for children 2-8 years of age.
I received this free of charge in exchange for an honest review. I would not purchase again since its an ebook I will always own.

We all need a help sometimes – but one 12 year old boy finds out just how much people around the world can come together in a crisis to help a stranger!
Eddie Lambert has never needed anyone’s help. He’s a star athlete, earns straight A’s in school and is president of his class. While playing soccer with his friends Eddie falls down an abandoned well, breaking his leg. But this is the LEAST of his problem. He sees some weird drawings in the well and dismisses them as insignificant and his cast keeps getting tighter. There is also another issue, these strange symbols keep appearing and begin to cover his cast with eerie Egyptian hieroglyphics.
Eddie and Holly (his best friend) have minimal time to solve the mystery of the old well and tightening cast before it’s too late. Can they decipher the ancient Egyptian symbols in time, or will Eddie find himself mummified inside the ever-tightening grasp of his cast? Read the story to find out!
***********************************************
I really do LOVE the Pre-teen books in the Lady Jennivere’s Quill series. In this novel we see the importance of friendship, and helping others. They are living in the Middle East with his Aunt, and you learn a small amount of history and facts of the area, in addition to how someone from Egypt could have gotten to Jordan. When Eddie fell down the hidden well, an ancient curse is resurrected from thousands of years prior. We see the perseverance of friendship and loyalty as Holly sticks by his side, even going against her dad, and Aunt Bay’s wishes. Even people from around the world rally to help Eddie through internet research trying to help solve the curse and cure Eddie. It was VERY well written and, even though this is a Pre-teen novel, I truly enjoyed the story. She has a magical way of writing that makes you want to know what happens next. I cannot wait to read and give away the next novel in her series!

I have never realized HOW enjoyable doing dishes or prepping veggies could possibly be. Standing at the counter for sometimes 30-90 min has always been strenuous, but with this mat my aching feet are not nearly as sore.
When I first opened the box, put it on the floor and stood on it, it was as if a chorus of angels were singing off in the distance. I MADE my husband stand on it, and he was like, yeah, we have these at work. I mean SERIOUSLY, he KNEW about them and had never said anything. He did say that he is normally wearing work boots though on his, so this was great standing on one in only sock/bare feet. I definately need to buy some for around the house, my classroom and maybe as gifts for my friends. I do not know how I survived without one in the past!!!
Another thing to note, its WAY easier to clean than the carpet I had there before – just a quick wipe with a cloth and its done. Much better with my Little Man crawling and walking around as I do not have to worry about hidden dirt in the carpet.
The mat is built from a solid, high density ergo-foam core to maximize support, while cushioning your feet. The size is 18″x30″ making it ideal for the kitchen, office or workplace.
The cost is $49.99, but there are no shipping charges. It ONLY ships to CANADIAN addresses. (I know right… finally one JUST for Canada!!!!)
Disclosure: I received this product in exchange for an honest review. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and/or believe will be good for my readers.

For the most part every ingredient would be VERY easy to find. I found the formatting to be very good on the kindle cloud reader, though there was often large spaces or gaps when reading it on my Smartphone app, but I do not think that is the authors fault. I found it best formatted one a 3/4 screen so that only one page was visible (rather than two full screened), but you do have the option to view on your phone in the kitchen, which I like since the laptop dies to fast!
They give a TON of really helpful ideas and tips. Out of all the cookbooks I've reviewed so far, this one is the best. There are so many recipes that I WANT to make for myself and my family, even though I am not a vegetarian. Again there are many full colour photos which make your mouth water just looking at them.

This is an awesome product!!!! I didn't know that this could happen when washing my hair at home!
So let’s start from the beginning. I received the offer for this VoxBox and was so excited. It took an eternity to get here, and finally, about two weeks ago, it arrived. When I opened it I was amazed to see full sized bottles of their product to review. So put it in the bathroom…. and that’s where the magic began.
First I grabbed a little shampoo to see how it lathered. I've had many that barely had any suds, or would need multiple wash/rinses before it really felt clean.
Only a small amount in my palm and it lathered a TON, coating all my hair easily.
Next I rinsed it out, added in the boost, then (as stated) without washing, used the conditioner. It was REALLY hard to wash out, because I used way too much. It made my hair extremely silky, not only when the conditioner was in my hair, but even after rinsing, and rinsing and rinsing. This was NOT something I am used to. Next shower, I used a much smaller amount of conditioner and it still remained silky and soft after being thoroughly rinsed out. This is a FIRST for me. All the ones I’ve used before… from drug store brands to expensive salon brands have made my hair anywhere from dried feeling, to squeaky once rinsed. This was so soft and smooth.
My hair seems to curl tighter now, and looks like its been styled once dried, even though I did not use any other products, nor was anything a “leave in” product. This was very surprising to me as well.
To be extremely honest, if I can buy it locally (SMALL township) then I intend to make this my regular brand!
