The Adventurous Girl's Handbook Review and Giveaway

Hi Neighbors!

We are on another adventure! We are taking a quick trip to Florida. So, what better time to introduce you to The Adventurous Girl’s Handbook ($12.95) by Stephen Brennan and Lara Brennan. It is published by Skyhorse Publishing. Yes, there are some things in the book that my daughters will never participate in, but it is filled with useful information and is designed to spark interest in different areas. This book covers subjects from horseback riding, ballet dancing, slumber parties, first aid, crafts, sports, nature, etc. It is a well of information.


The front of the book says it is for ages 9-99! I found information in The Adventurous Girl’s Handbook that I was interested in. Both of my daughters of course were interested in the chapter on horseback riding. Every one of my girls has gone through a horse lover stage. My older two actually owned a horse for awhile. I will be making sure they read the section on water safety and first aid, as that is always helpful to know.

The nature section is one of my favorite. It starts with hiking and then on to animals you can meet on the way. Such as snakes! It even explains what to do for a snake bite. Next they show you how to identify different animal tracks. From animal tracks we move on to wildflowers. Sixty four of them are covered. Which you can then go to the Arts and Crafts section to find out about pressing flowers. As you all know, one of my daughters really loves birds. There is information on them too!

I believe this would be a great book to work through with your daughter. If there is a section you are not interested in you can either skip on to the next section, or read it anyway just for the knowledge you will obtain. You never know when you might need it.

One neighbor will receive their own copy of The Adventurous Girl’s Handbook.

Baby First TV 'I Can Sign" First Words

Hey Neighbors! Here is a really neat gift idea for someone with a young child.  Here we have I Can Sign (First Words) from Baby First  TV.  Now, I am just going to share right here that we have friends who have taught two of their children to sign at a very young age.  And it works!  Their children could sign before they could talk. The Dvd will teach your child many useful words that will be used in day to day life.  Words like: eat, water, milk, cookie, ear, feet hands, kiss, sleep, book, mother, father, and many other words.  Each word is taught in a short video clip where they will see pictures of the word/item and people signing.  There is also a little character at the bottom corner of the video signing along.  The Dvd can be done on English or Spanish.  Also included on the Dvd are printable coloring pages that you can print off by inserting the Dvd into your computer.  Inside the cover of the Dvd case is a little booklet that covers some of the words you and your child

What To Do About Those Fuzzy Uninvited Guests In The Home

When we talk about pests in the home, the most common that we tend to deal with are the creepy-crawlies that find their way in. Ants, termites, and spiders, for instance. Occasionally though, you have a real chance of getting a much bigger, fuzzier unwanted guest in the home. What do you do about the fact your home is at risk of becoming a wildlife sanctuary for some truly unhealthy and even dangerous beasts? Picture by Alexas_Fotos Know the signs It doesn’t matter if you’re in a suburban home, a country cottage, or a fourth-floor apartment. Some animals can find their way just about anywhere. It’s worth knowing the signs of pest infestation so you can confirm it and act on it immediately. Spotting droppings, keeping an ear out for scratching, and looking for signs of nesting like shredded paper, scrunched leaves, and grass clippings around the home without explanation can help you start fighting back.

 Hey neighbors, its with a heavy heart I let you all know that my mom (Lori) unexpectedly passed away the end of June. Our family has been taking the time between now and then to be together and remember what a light mom was. I came on towards the end of last year and was planning on fully moving my interviews and review to this website. I intend to to so partially to keep mommas beautiful website going. Thank you all so much for your love and support over the years. ~Mercy
