The God Box ::Book Review::

When we walk our spiritual path in life, we all find our different ways to communicate and get our thoughts and prayers out. We struggle with everyday stress and feelings of helplessness and anxiety. How do we find the strength inside ourselves to give it up to God and let go?

Mary Lou Quinlan's mother Mary Finlayson found the key inside herself. She found a way that helped her lift her burdens and prayers that she carried with her from day to day. She used her God box as a release of everything she needed to get out. Instead of dwelling on a prayer or something she worried about, she would write it down as if she was releasing this burden off her shoulders.

This books takes us on the journey of Mary Lou Quinlan discovering her mother all over again. She was close with her mother and knew her better then she knew herself. And with the help of her mothers' God Box Mary is able to see that her mother was more then what she was perceived to be. Being the strong unbreakable mother was only half her story.

This book is such a good read. The bond that this family had, and the mother that prayed for and loved her family unconditionally. 

This book has inspired me to create my own God Box, for more details of Mary Lou Quinlan check out: www.thegodboxproject.com also follow her at: @godboxproject and The One Women Show

    Nicole, Thanks so much for what you wrote. When I read "She knew her better than she knew herself," I had to catch my breath. You captured something so true, so simply. I did know Mom better than me. And loved her more too. Thank you for your insight and thoughtful review of my book. So appreciative! Mary Lou

Hasbro Review and Giveaway: Cuponk and Girltalk { Ended}

Image
What Shot You Got? This month,   Cuponk   was named to the Toys R Us “Hot Holiday Toy List” and the Kmart “Fab 15.” Not a bad way to start the holiday season! We’d like for you to try this hot game and tell us what you think! Cuponk challenges players to come up with custom trick shots to show their skills and land the ball in the Cuponk cup. My Thoughts: This game has been a big hit with my family. Girls and boys alike go crazy over this game. This game lets you get the competitive edge, but in a fun way. Watching the kids trying to get their own trick shots down is hilarious. This game is also not for kids, but adults as well who feel like a Kid at heart! LOL Moments Shine The giggles are uncontrollable when the   Hasbro Girl Talk Games   are out. These games are perfect for fun slumber parties and to keep those “lol moments” alive during the holiday season.

Chuck E Cheese's New Pizza Recipe Review and Giveaway

Image
If your kids are anything like my own they know what are where Chuck E. Cheese is. After my daughters first visit we made detours to avoid driving by because she would cry wanting to stop by. So when I told her that we have the opportunity to review Chuck E. Cheese's new pizza recipe she was more then thrilled.  We were sent the Guest pass that gave us  a large pizza, 4 drinks and 30 tokens. This was more then enough for us to share, so we brought along my cousin and her little boy as well. Anytime we go to Chuck E. Cheese I also check my email to see the latest coupons they have, if you haven't already you can sign up for their news letter here. I'm a big fan when it comes to their pizza, so when I got the email I didn't think there was any way to improve something so good. Boy was I wrong. We ordered half cheese and half pepperoni. I could tell the sauce had a richer flavor and the crust was thinner (I'm a huge friend of thin crust). Not only did I love the pizza
