PERSONAL THOUGHTS

Influenster

I love to get free products and if you are anything like me than I know you love them as well.  I have belonged to a great site for years now and I wanted to write a post about it because I want you to know about them as well.  The site I am talking about is Influenster.  Once you sign up you complete task and earn badges.  If they have an upcoming VoxBox that they feel will interest you then they will send you the box for free.  Once you get a free box they ask that you complete tasks such as writing a blog post and posting about the products on all your social media accounts.

I have received a few boxes from them and I can’t wait until I receive more products from them.  I love subscription services but this one has to be my favorite because the products you receive are 100% free and free items are always better than items you have to pay for.  If you want to check out the kind of items I have received in the past you can click here.  Also if you would like to sign up you can click here and sign up!

Not The Updated I Expected

So this post was going to be an update on my cats because I haven’t written anything about them in years but I didn’t feel right considering what happened on Monday.  I don’t know that I have ever posted about my grandparents cat name Vinnie on here but he was another black & white kitty like my Alley Cat is.  He was older than she is but he has had a tough life as well.  He was shot at one point and has been kicked & stomped on among other things.

Anyway we had to put him down on Monday night and even though he wasn’t my cat I still did love him.  I grew up with him so it was hard to put him down.  Because of that I don’t feel up to writing a update on my cats right now.  Alley does have some health problems going on so I will write the update soon but right now just didn’t seem like the right time.  Instead I am going to post a few pictures of him and leave it at the for this week.  I also have a video of him that I am going to post as well.

Love Without End by Robin Lee Hatcher

Book Review

Love Without End by Robin Lee Hatcher was an amazing book.  I read the book that takes place before this book and I have to say that I was so glad that the author decided to turn this book into a series because I loved the setting and the series.  In this book you get to know Chet & Kimberly.  I instantly fell in love with the characters and was sad when the story ended because I really love this series of books.  If you love romance books than I know you will love this book.  You don’t have to read the first book to understand what goes on in this book so don’t worry if you haven’t read the first book.

Love Without End

About The Book

Love Without End || A King’s Meadow Romance (Thomas Nelson, November 2014)

Chet and Kimberly have both failed when it comes to love. Will they risk their hearts to love again?

Chet Leonard’s life was forever changed when his 17-year-old son died and then, soon after, his wife walked out on their family. Over two years later, all he wants to do is hold onto his horse ranch and raise his remaining sons to be honorable men.

Kimberly Welch, widowed mother of Tara, a rebellious 15-year-old, has reached the end of her finances and nearly the end of her rope. She and Tara come to King’s Meadow to try to piece their lives back together again. Kimberly has no intention of becoming involved with the residents of this remote mountain community and certainly not with any man.
When octogenarian Anna McKenna returns to King’s Meadow and to the Leonard ranch, she becomes an agent of change and healing for the two hurting families. With her help, Kimberly and Chet may discover that true love has no end.

The Brothers’ Keeper by NLB Horton

Book ReviewThe Brothers’ Keeper by NLB Horton was a good book it just wasn’t the right fit for me.  This is the second book in the series and  I have to say that I would recommend reading the first one before this.  Because I haven’t read the first book I found that I was super confused and kept getting lost as to what was going on in the book.  I am going to read the first book and then re-read this book and see how I feel about it after I know more of the back story.

The Brothers' KeepersAbout The Book

The Brothers’ Keepers | RidgeRoute Press (November 2015)

A friend’s deception. A family’s dilemma.

While cataloging looted antiquities in Brussels, archaeologist Grace Madison learns that her daughter has disappeared in France, and daughter-in-law has been attacked in Switzerland. But before the Madisons can save themselves, they must rescue an old friend—if he’ll let them. Navigating a deadly, four-thousand-year-old artifact trail that crosses three continents, they jeopardize hearts and lives against a foe as old as time—as time runs out.

Because choosing what’s right is all that’s left.

NLB HortonAbout The Author

Her first novel, When Camels Fly, was released in May, 2014.The Brothers’ Keepers her second in the Parched series, will be released November 17, 2014.
