These Girls Rock! 1 Girl Nation CD Review


Have you listened to the radio lately?  OMG!  It's crazy or "cray" as my niece reminds me.  I'm so glad to see a group sharing good music with a positive message.

About 1 Girl Nation:
Landing in the space where One Direction meets TobyMac, 1 Girl Nation is an exciting blend of upbeat pop music, with lyrics that are totally focused on living life for God, even while you’re young. 1GN, as they’ve already been dubbed, stars Carmen, Kayli, Kelsey, Lauryn Taylor and Lindsey, five girls with a passion for telling their fans about Christ through their music. Their first single, “While We’re Young,” can be heard on radio stations across the country and their self-titled debut album is available now!

Our Thoughts:

Music is a constant in the Three Boys and an Old Lady household and finding music the entire family can enjoy can be a challenge sometimes.  Fortunately there are groups like 1GN who record music that not only rocks but rocks with a message.  I decided to let my 11- and 13-year nieces help facilitate this review in exchange for the CD.

What are your favorite songs on the 1GN CD?
     "Love Like Crazy" and "Count Your Rainbows"

What did you like most about these songs?
     "I like 'Love Like Crazy' because it was nice.  It was a happy song."  "I liked the lyrics.  It's a pretty song.  They sound like Selena Gomez." "Yeah, kinda like Selena but different.  I know all the words."

What is one reason people should check out 1GN?
     "Because they sing nice."  "Well, I think everyone should buy this because they are kids.  They could grow up and be really famous and maybe get a t.v. show and that would be nice."

Well there you have it.  Many thanks to my guest reviewers but I'd like to add a few things.

It didn't take long for the kids to warm up to 1GN.  I was surprised they wanted to bring it in from the car to the house.  I'm glad as I kinda' liked the songs myself.  It's nice to hear up tempo music of faith and better yet, nice to see a group of young ladies not confirmed to the wiles of the world.  Staying true to themselves and their beliefs.

Jeepers! It's January Hop

Happy New Year! What better way to kick off the new year than with a giveaway! I am so excited to join The Mommy Island, The Kids Did It and 90+ other fab blogs in the first big giveaway hop of 2018! Here’s your chance to start the new year off with a win. One lucky Three Boys and an Old Lady blog reader will receive a $15 Walmart eGift card. $10 may not seem like a lot but it’s enough to stock up on some last minute Christmas clearance gifts. Trust me. I bought a 6’ Christmas tree WITH lights, 2 animal massagers, 3 Jelly Belly BeanBoozled Jelly Beans Mystery Bean Dispenser, Christmas cards and wrapping paper less than $20 during an after Christmas Walmart shopping trip. I was searching for some cough syrup when my friend’s kid spotted the Jelly Belly BeanBoozled Jelly Beans Mystery Bean Dispenser on sale for 50 cents. What a steal! The regular price is $10 so to find them on sale for 50 cents was a deal. We cleared the shelves. A few rows down we spotted some anima

Maple and Brown Sugar Air Fryer Bacon

I've been raving about my Instant Pot but now I have a new favorite... the Air Fryer.   O M G This thing is amazing!  I don't know why I was so late to the Air Fryer craze but I am so glad I am finally onboard.   I've been talking about getting one and then after my aunt posted pics of her new air fryer, that was it off to Best Buy I went.   I wasn't sure how big of a unit I would need but I figured the 2.5 liter would suffice.  I chose the Chefman Express.  It was priced on the shelves for $85 but online for $75.99 and my local store matched the price AND I had my Swagbucks Best Buy QR code so I got 500 SBs + 2 SBs for every dollar spent so that's another 170 SBs.  So, after discounts, my air fryer ended up costing me less than the sale price.  Woohoo! There were some fancy ones on the shelves with digital display but after checking the reviews I figured since I don't fry much this model would suffice. When I think of fried foods, I think

A Pit Stop at Sho Nuff Hot Tamales in Greenville, Mississippi

My cousin and I were driving along and our tummies were rumbling as we crossed the Mississippi state line on US-82.  We didn't really have any particular dish in mind for lunch but we started seeing signs saying "Hot Tamales". "Hot Tamales", my Philly cousin asked. "Yep", I replied nonchalantly.  "I remember reading something about hot tamales being a big thing here in the Delta."   We kept driving and finally decided we would have to try these famous Mississippi Delta hot tamales. Now to decide which one.  There were literally dozens of tamale spots.  We happened upon a restaurant called Sho-Nuff and decided it was the one. We parked and entered the large, delightfully decorated restaurant.  The wall was plastered with local and national awards in recognition of those hot tamales.   There was a sign touting Sho-Nuff as the winner of the local newspaper's favorite restaurant award and 3rd place winner in the annual  Delta Hot Ta
