Uplifting Reading

I've been a huge fan of Louise Hay for years. My daughters and I often fall to sleep at night listening to CDs by Louise such as Change your thoughts, change your life or Self-Healing. Her calendars and colorful Power Thought Cards have been a part of my life for over 10 years. Hay House has a number of other inspiring authors such as Denise Linn, Dr. Wayne Dyer and Doreen Virtue. Good food for the spirit!

A truly useful holiday gift.

The Crock Pot is one of the most versitile tools out there for busy people who want to save money and eat healthy. The new versions even have cool timers similar to the Zojirushi Rice Cooker that I rave about. It's so easy to make soups, stews and even BarBQ chicken in a Crock Pot.

This Rice Cooker Makes Life Easy

Here's a great drink recommendation:

Save money and hassle with this cool seltzer maker. My family is loving this new "toy" that enables them to make fresh bubbly seltzer whenever they want.
Saves hassle of returning bottles, no need to drive to the store for seltzer anymore! Click on the seltzer maker below for more info:
