FFR Giveaway- Life Ready Woman

Posted by Bobbie Gould on February 17, 2011

And since no one else entered Karen won! Thanks to Karen for entering and to Lightfuse for sponsoring this giveaway!

Whether a stay at home; or working mom, an airplane-hopping executive, an empty-nester caring for multiple generations or a single juggling high demands of career and personal life, today’s fast-paced modern world leaves women gasping for balance. We as modern Christian women want to look to the Bible for guidance on how to manage our lives — but because the world of women looks so different today than it did when the Bible was written, it is hard to find chapter and verse that seems to apply to our situation today.

Thankfully, God has given us exactly that timeless, unchanging guidance for how to find peace, clarity, and God’s best for our lives once we know where to look! The Life Ready Woman: Thriving in a Do-It-All World, reveals a profound biblical roadmap for how each of us can find the abundant life we are longing for, rather than the stressful, torn, how-do-I-balance-it-all life we often feel like we are trying to keep up with today. Actually being a LifeReady Woman means that you are clear about your life, bold in your faith, and able to find God’s best for you, and the end result will be that you not only survive but thrive in our do-it-all world.

God has given every wonderfully unique woman different skills and abilities, different desires, and different temperaments — and every woman around the planet and through the ages is certainly living in different circumstances. But no matter what a woman’s life looks like, the Bible says that God has an individual mission and plan that He’s carefully designed for each of us. And He wants us to find it. Starting January 2011, The Life Ready Woman and the Life Ready Woman Video Series will help every wonderfully unique woman to thrive as she identifies and courageously pursues God’s unique design and callings for her. LifeReady Woman puts you on a roadmap to make decisions that will lead to relief, delight, and fulfillment instead of regret.

Faith and Family Reviews received the following product in exchange for writing a review. While we consider it a privilege to receive free products to review, our reviews are our honest opinion and thoughts of the product.

Video Link: http://mediasuite.multicastmedia.com/player.php?p=s3k79xhw

When the opportunity arose to participate in The Life Ready Woman review, I thought it would be a good book to help me balance family, work and life in general. I was pleasantly surprised that it is not the book that helped me but the truths of God’s word presented in the book that assisted me in learning to accept my calling and the place God has our family at this time.

While I do not necessarily endorse every thought in this book, it does a pretty decent job of sharing what my husband and I personally believe our biblical roles are as a man and woman; as husband and wife.

The thing I appreciated most was the reminder that each of our families are called to do different things. We are not called to do what the Whites or Jones families are doing.

The key is for a husband and wife together to determine God’s wants for their lives, their marriage, their family, and to make decisions based on that rather than on worldly values–or even ‘church culture values.

In today’s society, we are pulled in all kinds of different directions and it takes much wisdom from above and input from our husbands to figure out what direction God wants us to go in. I am grateful for a husband who helps me from taking on too much outside of the home. We do not always get it right, but for the most part things usually balance out. What I really struggle with is working when I never planned to work. It was not until my husband was laid off three years go (don’t worry he’s back to work!) and we needed to figure out a way to make money that I discovered the entrepreneur buried within. I grew up being taught and believing a woman’s place was at home. When we got married Robert and I decided I would work until we had children, but after that I would be at home. All of that change three years ago and we are still learning to balance family, work and life. Accepting and appreciating where our family is right now is how The Life Ready Woman enhanced my life.

This book is sold through any major bookstore.

Review ~ Spiffies Wipes

Posted by Professor on February 16, 2011

Spiffies Tooth Wipes Natural Grape Flavor

I am pleased to review Spiffies Wipes. This innovative product has been a hit in our household! This product is an alternative to teeth brushing in young children. The wipe is a convenient square that is then wrapped around the finger. This, the finger with the wipe is used to brush the teeth. I have used these wipes on both my 2 year old and my 4 year old. The 2 year old prefers to use a regular toothbrush but will tolerate using the wipes. I think she likes the control of being able to brush her teeth on her own with the toothbrush, where I brush her teeth wit h the wipes. However, my 4 year old LOVES the wipes. He allows me to brush/wipe his teeth without any fuss.

The wipes come in various flavors. We were given grape and apple to try. Both flavors were well received by my children http://www.spiffies.com/default.aspen without and “ick” factor. The only drawback to the product is once the wipe comes off your finger it leaves a sticky residue on your finger/hand. But it comes off easily after a quick hand washing with soap!

This product contains Xylitol, which is a natural food substance, which gently fights cavity-causing bacteria. I believe this is a great product for children who are reluctant to brush, as well as a supplement for children who like to brush…you cannot go wrong with extra dental hygiene! This product can be found at most Drug Stores or at http://www.spiffies.com/default.asp

Review ~ Eardoc

Posted by Professor on February 16, 2011

This is an interesting product. We have used this a few times and in each instance my children have said that their ear pain has diminished using the product. I have not had any ear pain myself so I can only rely on the honesty of my children.

The product boasts the ability to relive ear pain immediately (which we did experience). It also states that it can be an alternative to ear tube surgery. This is a wonderful asset to the product because we went through this surgical process with my youngest and I wish there was a product like this out there when we were going through the process of ear infections.

How does the Eardoc work? “Ear doc treats an ear infection by naturally opening the clogged Eustachian tubes, therefore allowing drainage of accumulated fluids outside of the middle ear and relieving the associated ear pain.” ~ Eardoc website http://www.eardoc.info/

Basically, the Eardoc works by vibration…a vibration goes through the Eardoc and when placed behind the ear the vibration helps open the ear tubes. The vibration can be large or small, as the Eardoc has a mechanism on the side to adjust the vibration. The vibration is slight and does not hurt, even at the highest setting.

All in all, this is a unique product that actually works! I will continue using it and provide my children with a natural way of relieving ear pain!

Nature Crops Bars

Posted by html404 on February 13, 2011
in All Natural Products, Food and Treats

I was sent all three bars by NatureCrops . I was really excited to try these bars as they are all natural, contain no high-fructose corn syrup, and are made with organic quinoa. And are gluten free.

We got to try the Quinoa and Almond, Quinoa and Prunes, and Quinoa and Strawberry bars.

Nearly all of our family loves quinoa, which we usually eat in a soup. I know, I know, quinoa in soup is very different than in a bar. I am just saying that to share that we have actually tasted quinoa and trying these bars is not our first exposure to it. Nevertheless, we were disappointed in the Quinoa and Almond bar. I thought it tasted rather stale and I did not care very much for it. I found all three bars rather dry. For some reason (perhaps because of our soup), I expected them to be more moist than dry. The Quinoa and Prunes, and Quinoa and Strawberry bars tasted alot better then the Quinoa and Almond bar, but overall I did not like the taste of Nature Crops bars as well as other bars I have tried. I wish I could say I did, but sorry I cannot. 🙁 Everyone’s taste buds are different though.

We divided these bars up into little pieces so that everyone could try them and the younger children did not seem to mind them at all and asked for more. While my oldest did not care for them. The next two say they liked the prune one best, then the strawberry and then the almond. Just proves what I said, everyone’s taste buds are very different!
