Today is the day that Barbra Streisand's duets album is out featuring John Legend, Michael Buble and so many others.

I get asked about how I started blogging several times a week and I figured I've shared this story hundreds of times but never on my blog. I started blogging nearly 7 years ago but one post changed my life forever.  In January 2010, I entered a giveaway -   http://iamboymom.blogspot.com/2010/01/dentyne-gum-review-and-giveaway.html - and won.  Yep, one win and I was hooked.  Soon after wininng PR firms and companies began contacting me asking me to try their products and blog about it.   I don't think I've ever thanked I Am Boymom on my blog for fostering my love of blogging so without further ado...

 This is a sponsored post Have you ever heard of Soap Nuts?  For anyone who hasn't heard of soap nuts before the thought of using soap berries/nuts may see a little odd but it's really not.  There are stories of many cultures who used soap nuts in the past to launder their clothes and also used soap nuts for their medicinal properties.  When my youngest of Los Tres Amigos as a toddler, I tried laundering with soap nuts in their most organic form.  He has pretty sensitive skin and I struggled to find a laundry detergent that didn't cause him to break out.  A friend of mine had recommended soap nuts and I tried with some hesitation but they actually worked.   Fast forward to today.  A few weeks ago, I received a bottle of Soap Nuts Liquid from Green Virgin Products to review. The 8 oz. bottle supposedly cleans 120 HE loads.  Yes, 120.  One hundred twenty HE loads.  I am about 25 loads in already and so far so good....

A tragedy begins. A husband and wife separate. He’s dying. She doesn’t know. She’s pregnant. He can’t return. Now he races against time— In the solitude of a mountain cabin. In a faraway mountain range. Trying to finish . . . For his children— his captivating stories and memories, turned into practical, moral, and spiritual instructions, now their “guidebook to life.” For his wife— his intimate words of great love and deep regret, now his journey of redemption, now her passage to forgiveness. Ultimately, he gives his final gift to her, to them, and now, to us all. My Thoughts:   In a nutshell,  The Legacy Letters is a series of letters written from a dying father to his children.  It's a beautiful story and evoked many emotions.  As I read the book I reminisced about my father-in-law who passed away years before Hubby and I married.  I recall him as a wonderful man with a gracious smile and a kind dem...

She's baaaaaaaaack... and this time Princess Cupcake Jones Won't Go to School. The first day of school is daunting for many children, especially if they haven't been in daycare or some other group setting. Will the other children like me? What if I don't know what to do or where to go? These and other worries rattle around in their little heads. In the new children's book, Princess Cupcake Jones Won't Go To School by Ylleya Fields, Princess Cupcake initially refuses to go to school. The end of the summer was finally here, which meant, in the kingdom, a brand new school year. But at 6 Garden Place, Cupcake sullenly pouted. "I won't go to school! No, I won't!" Cupcake shouted. The Queen watched from the doorway perplexed as to why. "But you were excited," was her calm reply. "I'm not," Cupcake said. Her foot stomped with a boom. "I don't want to go. I'm not leaving this room!"...
