Balislanka by John Blackport book review!
When I found out I was going to do a book review for Balislanka by John Blackport I was so excited!!! The book just looked and sounded so interesting! Balislanka is the third book in a series…I have not yet been able to read the first two books…however I plan on reading them soon!!! I truly found myself totally consumed by this book!

My daughter has been asking for piano lessons for about 2 years…but with our super busy schedules (she is a competitive gymnast) and our limited budget, we have not been able to find a way to her started! I was really excited when I was recently offered an opportunity to review the Hoffman Academy Unit One piano lessons for a beginner (in exchange for my HONEST opinion).

Enter to win this Cozywoggle (The Only Carseat Safe Jacket!)
Welceome to the Cozywoggle giveaway! Hosted by Miss Frugal Mommy and sponsored by Cozywoggle About the Cozywoggle “Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for children between ages 2-14, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Part of the problem is that young children are often strapped into their car seats while wearing a heavy coat, with the straps loosened for comfort. In the event of an accident, the coat compresses, leaving the harness loose and increasing the child’s risk for ejection from the car seat and/or the possibility of injuries from the loose belts.

Snipe Hunt the perfect indoor/outdoor game for “kids” of all ages! (Review)
Snipe Hunt is a new game from an old tradition of story telling and Sniping Hunting, created by Education Outdoors. I myself had never heard of a “snipe hunt” until receiving this review…however throughout the process of this review I have learned that “snipe hunting” was a tradition experienced by many girl and boy scouts! The game comes in a box marked “LIVE ANIMALS” which right off the bat caught my kids attention. You will also find the story behind the legendary campfire animals on the outside packaging. Inside the game includes a nest and 2 Snipes (named Biela and Smartin). Each of the Snipes uses 2 AA batteries (included in purchase).…

He then discusses how location and structure are essential to staging a fight scene. The book goes into depth describing a number of various weapons commonly used in fiction from swords and daggers, axes, clubs…even firearms and more. Even better Hall takes the time to describe…
