7 Tips to Getting Your (Little) Kids to Try New Foods!

If dinner time is drama time at your house, you’re not alone.

All parents of young children can tell stories about the tears, the NOs!, the picked over plates, the refusals to sit down, the dropped food and turned over bowls … the list of potential eating problems in little ones goes on and on. And unfortunately, sometimes the best advice you will get is just “wait it out” – they are children, after all!

Thriller Thursday: No Rest For The Dead, Edited by Andrew and Lamia Gulli

It’s time for another installment of Thriller Thursday!

This one was really exciting for me – No Rest For The Dead was written by twenty-six amazing mystery and thriller authors including Sandra Brown, RL Stine, Jeffery Deaver, Michael Palmer, Kathy Reichs and more. Twenty-Six! As excited as I was for what promised to be a great mystery, I was even more excited to see how all these author’s writing styles would blend together into one cohesive story. Would it be seamless or would it be disjointed? The only way to find out was to dive right in.

Book Review: Where You Left Me by Jennifer Gardner Trulson

Book Review: Where You Left Me by Jennifer Gardner Trulson

Over the next few weeks, there will be much written about the 10th Anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks. And those stories will affect all of us in different ways.

But for thousands of families, the hurt and the pain will be more deeply felt than anything we can imagine. Because someone they loved was killed in New York, Pennsylvania or Washington, D.C. For these families, it’s not the hurt of a nation pulled together by shared tragedy, it is much more personal.

Weekend Romance: Save As Draft by Cavanaugh Lee

Weekend Romance: Save As Draft by Cavanaugh Lee

I love to read romance novels over the weekend and Save As Draft by Cavanaugh Lee is a perfect Lazy Day E-Scape.

Written in emails, texts, twitter and facebook updates, Save As Draft is not your usual romance novel, but it is oh so fun!

I often find myself saving drafts of emails and never sending them (my drafts folder currently has over 100 emails in it, just begging for attention), or editing them so severely that by the time I do send them, they don’t resemble the original message at all, so the concept here is familiar to me. Throw in a little love triangle…

Book Review: Full Black by Brad Thor

Book Review: Full Black by Brad Thor

With each terrorist attack on U.S. soil, Americans gave up more of their rights. Harvath was reminded of the line, paraphrasing Benjamin Franklin, that those who trade some of their liberty for a little temporary security deserve neither and will lose both. The wisdom of the founders never ceased to amaze him.

After tracking down a deadly terrorist cell, former Seal Team 6 and current Carlton Group member, Scot Harvath formulates a plan to infiltrate the cell to stop a string of deadly attacks on American soil. After the mission goes horribly wrong, and more attacks are launched in the heart of America, Harvath must go Full Black to uncover those responsible and bring them to his brand of justice.
