The creators of Supernatural were able to construct an animated world in which there were no boundaries. This new look into Supernatural brings new perspective to the show. From adding color, intensity and action to scenes, to vivid images of horrifying demons, the medium does not disappoint.
I've been a huge fan of the 'real' Supernatural show for a long time but the anime really gives the show a new perspective without changing the basic story.
I actually think it's amazing how just changing your perspective of something can change something entirely. I did it in my marriage once and the results were amazing. Now that I think about it, if my life was made into a movie I'd want it to be Anime. A - I'd be really hot (all the chicks in anime are) B - My life would be so much cooler in cartoon! I think Supernatural is a great show either way! I like to watch both for different reasons.

What would you do if a simple errand takes a deadly twist, turning you from cautious prey to dangerous predator?
When Darcy's outing takes a turn for the worst and tests her to the point of breaking, she struggles to maintain her humanity. Where loyalty and pack mean everything, she surrenders to the inevitable and only an act of complete trust can touch her.
When all is said and done, with memories flooding her mind, Darcy holds tightly to the only thing that makes sense - it was all a dream. Or was it?
Ever since I first saw the cover I had to have it. I bought it immediately even though I knew I was going to be able to review it. I just couldn't wait. I wasn't disappointing either. I read the novelette in one night. My only complaint, I wanted more. This story was full of emotion, action, and I LOVE Mason!! Can't wait for the next installment.

while my husband would want to live out in the country some where.
He's a rural kind of guy but also has salt water running through his veins. I wonder where we could live that was close to water and away from everyone?
All Airel ever wanted to be was normal, to disappear into the crowd. But bloodlines can produce surprises, like sudden mysterious illness. Then there’s Michael Alexander, the new guy in school, who is impossibly gorgeous…and captivated by her. Somewhere in the back of her mind she can hear the sound of pages turning, and another, older story being written.
It is the story of an ancient family, of great warriors, of the Sword of Light, and the struggle against an evil so terrible, so far-reaching, that it threatens everything she hopes for even now. Airel knew change would be inevitable as life went on. But can she hold on when murder and darkness begin to close in and take away everything she loves? Will she have what it takes when the truth is finally revealed?

My Thoughts - As soon as I saw this book cover and I had to read it. A+++ on that. It started off slow for me. Airel was a typical teenage girl. I know this is a young adult book, I read a lot of them but I think she was a little stereotypical and annoying. There are two story lines, the other is of the Angel Kreios. I was immediately sucked into his story and when Airel and Kreios stories collide it makes for an excellent book. I like Michael's position in this story and can't wait for the next book featuring him.
Sarah Nickerson is like any other career-driven supermom in Welmont, the affluent Boston suburb where she leads a hectic but charmed life with her husband Bob, faithful nanny, and three children—Lucy, Charlie, and nine-month-old Linus.
Between recruiting the best and brightest minds as the vice president of human resources at Berkley Consulting; shuttling the kids to soccer, day care, and piano lessons; convincing her son's teacher that he may not, in fact, have ADD; and making it home in time for dinner, it's a wonder this over-scheduled, over-achieving Harvard graduate has time to breathe.
A self-confessed balloon about to burst, Sarah miraculously manages every minute of her life like an air traffic controller. Until one fateful day, while driving to work and trying to make a phone call, she looks away from the road for one second too long. In the blink of an eye, all the rapidly moving parts of her jam-packed life come to a screeching halt.
A traumatic brain injury completely erases the left side of her world, and for once, Sarah relinquishes control to those around her, including her formerly absent mother. Without the ability to even floss her own teeth, she struggles to find answers about her past and her uncertain future.
Now, as she wills herself to regain her independence and heal, Sarah must learn that her real destiny—her new, true life—may in fact lie far from the world of conference calls and spreadsheets. And that a happiness and peace greater than all the success in the world is close within reach, if only she slows down long enough to notice.
My Thoughts - I didn't connect with Sarah at first because she just had her priorities all wrong and I'm nothing like her but the writer makes you see where she's coming from. If you are a huge fan of Still Alice you may be a little let down but this is still pretty good. This book is PERFECT for a book club because there really is so much to chit chat about. I don't want to give anything away but if you read it - I kind of understood her mom, that's all I'm saying. I don't want to give anything away.

Lovemode is a Juniors clothing store. I may be in my 30's but I still like to wear cute dresses.
The dress I received is the one to the left. I was a little concerned about the sizing because sometimes when I get juniors clothing it fits me weird but I read their sizing chart and ordered a small. When it came in it fit perfect! It's cute and comfortable. Perfect to wear on vacation or over my bathing suit.
Lovemode offers cheap juniors clothing, perfect for you or your daughter. Their prices are very reasonable. I found this same dress when I was in a tourist area for $40 the week before. This is on sale for $19.52. They have a HUGE sale area on top of their already inexpensive prices. Lovemode is graciously offering a Time 4 Mommy reader a $25 Gift certificate to their store.
A product was received for review, no other compensation was received.

It's that time of year again when the kids are getting ready to go back to school. Time when we have to open up our wallets yet again.....
I shop second hand stores, yard sales, and get hand me downs.
We have a lot of cute and the 'Base" clothes we need like jeans, t-shirts, etc.
We don't wait until right before school starts to go shopping either. I make stops through the shops when we are out and about. I also stock up on end of season sales, especially on bathing suits, jackets, etc.
I have no pride when it comes to buying used clothes, my children are growing so quickly, I need to save as much as I can. I am picky however, the clothes have to look like new and they have to like them. You can also organize a clothing swap.
There are even great 2nd hand shops for teenagers like Plato's closet too.

We've used a couple of different types of Coconut Oil over the years.
Especially when my husband was working out. He was in awe when Tropical Traditions send me, a pint of the Gold Label Coconut oil to try. Well he is in love. I love it too but even if I wanted to cook with something else, it is NOT going to happen.
I don't use vegetable oil for anything, I usually use peanut oil or olive oil and it's a taste you have to get use to in baking. So I made some brownies with the coconut oil and I was on cloud nine. The texture was incredible and they tasted oh so good. My husband said he didn't taste coconut which was fine with us.
I also sauteed pork, shrimp, and chicken through out the week. A little goes a really long way. Here some ideas of how you can use Coconut oil for cooking.
