Santa’s Dog is a rhyming story about the adventures of Santa’s best dog, Lance. He falls from the sleigh on Christmas Eve and is taken in by the animal shelter and then brought home by a military family who needs some help as Dad is called to serve his country.

Santa’s Dog is perfect for all children, dog lovers, and military families.

JoAnn Sky is an award-winning author who writes adult contemporary romance, young adult romance, and children’s stories. Originally from the midwest, JoAnn lives in Northern Nevada with her family and three crazy rescue dogs.

Now for the giveaway. We will be giving away TWO copies of the book Santa’s Dog, each one with a bandana. One will be red, one will be green.

LuLaRoe Review and Giveaway

March 10, 2016 by Julie 8 Comments

Have you heard of LuLaRoe? It’s a new direct sales company and it is gaining more and more popularity every day. I was recently able to review my first LuLaRoe item and I am very excited to share what I think with you. I will also be offering a giveaway for your own LuLaRoe set. Yay!

I was sent the Irma Tunic and a pair of leggings to go with it. This is the first time I have ever seen LuLaRoe in person. I have heard a lot of great things about the clothing and how soft and comfortable the clothing is. I was not disappointed. My leggings are SO soft. I love it. I have regular yoga pants but these are something else altogether. They are soft and fit well. The tunic was a pretty color of teal and is also very comfortable.

LuLaRoe was created by a woman by the name of DeAnne Stidham. She was a single mom and wanted to be able to be home with her kids and still make an income. She started liquidating end of season dresses to friends and family and LuLaRoe grew from there.

This is from the main LuLaRoe website…

I believe in you and you can do it are the basic principles guiding LuLaRoe today. The ethos of the company was borne out of DeAnne’s desire to share her experiences and to provide her family and others a foundation for personal success.

LuLaRoe exists to provide an opportunity for people to create freedom by selling comfortable, affordable, stylish clothing, and offering its consultants the independence to set their own pace and schedule. This creates the time to spend with those closest to them, the very thing DeAnne had once desired for herself!

I was given my LuLaRoe for review by Alexandra Lewis. She has her own group on Facebook that you must join.

The thing to know about this company is that there is a limited supply of every print. The consultants carry the inventory and that is how you shop for what you want. That is why you should join her group if you are interested. It is the way to buy the prints that you want. She can also help you look for certain prints that might be hard to find.

Now for the giveaway. Alexandra will be giving away one “mystery outfit,” Irma and leggings to one of my readers. You would just let her know the size that you need.

I have been a fan of Michael W. Smith’s music for a very long time. That is why I was excited to hear about his latest album, Sovereign!

Here is his brand new video for the song Sky Spills Over, one of the songs from the album.

“I’m really passionate about the song SKY SPILLS OVER. It was fun creating it in the studio and I’ve been overwhelmed at the response it gets when we perform it live every night. My son Ryan is a really talented filmmaker so I always enjoy working with him on a project. But what made this project even more special was that 3 of my own grandkids were in the video. This video was a lot of fun to make. I hope people enjoy it!” Michael W. Smith

Julie’s Thoughts: I am a big fan of books like this. I love to read the stories and learn more what it was like in previous wars. I like that the stories come from different points of view. They are not all told from someone who went to war but from the family members too. Each of the stories in the book is short which is nice if you only have a few minutes to read each day. Make sure to keep a tissue by you when you read this book, you will need it.

Giveaway: I will be giving away TWO copies of this book to a couple of my readers. Just enter using the Rafflecopter below!

A&E’s Be the Boss Series Premiere and $100 Giftcard to the Melting Pot Giveaway

November 30, 2012 by Julie 82 Comments

The series premiere of Be the Boss will air, Sunday, December 2 11/10 C on A&E!

A&E presents the new original real life series Be the Boss, a competition-based series that pits two employees of a franchise-based company in the battle of a lifetime, competing for the chance to become the owner of their very own franchise.

From the Emmy-award winning creators of Undercover Boss, Be the Boss faces off two lower-level employees from the ranks, giving them the chance at what they think is a big promotion. In each episode, the CEO summons two deserving candidates to the company headquarters and subsequently puts them through a series of challenges to test their mettle at being in a senior management role. Both employees battle to prove they should earn the promotion, but they’re in for the shock of their lives when they discover that an even greater opportunity is ultimately at stake – the keys to their very own franchise! With franchise fees often running into the hundreds of thousands and sometimes even exceeding one million dollars, Be the Boss offers one of the largest prizes in all of television…and the promotion goes to the runner-up!

Iconic American companies featured in the first season include Complete Nutrition, Auntie Anne’s, Signal 88 Security, Molly Maid, Jazzercise. and The Melting Pot.

Be the Boss is produced for A&E Network by Studio Lambert. Executive Producers for Studio Lambert are Stephen Lambert, Eli Holzman, Aaron Saidman, Brien Meagher and Phil Lott. Executive Producers for A&E are Elaine Frontain Bryant, Drew Tappon, Nicole Reed and Tom Moody.

You can view a clip of Be The Boss here 🙂

This show looks like it is going to be a great addition to the A&E lineup! It is going to make people very happy when they find out they have won their own franchise! There are a lot of different types of reality shows out there but my favorites are the ones that help others and just make you feel good when you watch them.
