Danger follows the sisters and Abbott Baltazar will stop at nothing to see the nuns returned and punished for their sinful ways.

It's been a while since i blogged. My health is still not good, still no answers to the constant headache, or frequent migraines. The body pain and muscle weakness is probably fibromyalgia, but we are still exploring that. It's been a long, hard road. It's been almost two years of pain and the frustration of having no answers. I have gone through every migraine medication the neurologist can prescribe, with nothing really working. I have even had two rounds of botox injections for my migraines, and still no relief. I have tried several alternative remedies and many supplements, including trying acupuncture once. (Oh my goodness do i hate needles!) I have even ventured so far as to try medicinal marijuana, but nothing has truly helped. I cannot begin to describe the pain, the frustration and the hopelessness that comes with constant pain. The life i was living seems like a memory of a movie, it's so alien to how life is now. I have faith that God has a plan, that there i...

 I love knit items. They always have so much class and personality and are unique. Which is why I love  Queller Crafts  on etsy. Queller Crafts is run by  Amalia Queller, who makes all her items in her own home. Her items are cute, unique and very well made. The item we received was a set of 4 TMNT beanies. My son and nephews LOVED them. They all tried them on right away, and each child got their favorite of the 4 turtles thanks to the set including all 4. They will make winter days just a little more fun.  Her shop also features adult items, and some of the cutest homemade printed tops you'll find anywhere. You can check her out on  etsy ,  facebook , and on  instagram . With Christmas coming up, i recommend her shop as a great place to get some gifts! Landon rocking his awesome Michelangelo TMNT Beanie This is apparently his "touch turtle" face Another product of hers i super love,  a DR who knit outfit for babi...

Being a landlord can be a risky venture. I found this out myself a few years ago when I rented a room to a former friend. This is what a man named Songhua also discovered when he became a first time landlord. Most landlords check a credit report, but that doesn't give the whole picture, and bank statements proving you have enough income for rent can be faked. Songhua knew there had to be a better way to check out prospective tenants and protect himself as a landlord. Thus Tenantify was born. Tenantify is a third-party website that verifies employment and uses a secured bank account API to deliver the landlord a authenticated bank statement that is void of any sensitive personal information. This allows the landlord to be sure they are not being lied to by potential tenants, and alliviates some of the risk of renting. Tenantify is easy to use, and is free for landlords, with a small cost for renters. Tenantify's goal is to reduce friction in the housing market a...

The glass beads are cute and sparkle like crystals, and come in rich beautiful colors. The bracelets are custom made to be one inch bigger than most stretch bracelets, so they will fit any wrist comfortably. They make wonderful gifts. The bracelet I received has beautiful, heavy beads that really sparkle. The green color is gorgeous, and the silver beads have etching. The bracelet has nice stretch to it, and it doesn't feel like the bracelet will snap if snagged or tugged a little. It's strong enough to handle normal wear and tear which is great for someone with kids like me. It's nice that these are “plus sized” and larger than normal stretch bracelets, so I know it will fit and not be to tight. Plus it's backed by a 90 days manufacturer's money-back guarantee. You can order your own in any of the beautiful ...

 My 9 year old son loves bugs. He also loves to learn. That's why I love Discover with Dr. Cool activity kits. We tried out the Real Insect Excavation Kit. The kit comes with a beetle-shaped digging block, which houses 3 bugs, a scorpion, a spiny spider and a fortune beetle, preserved in acrylic. The kit includes an excavation took, brush, and magnifying glass. There is also a full-color information guide that teaches you all about insects, arthropods and arachnids. It's full of cool science facts about each of the bugs in the kit as well as more general bug facts that your kid(s) will love. It also comes with a fun activity booklet with 10 games, mazes and puzzles. It also won the Brain Toy Hold Award- Academic's Choice for 2013. My son and I had so much fun with this kit. Excavating the beetle was so much fun. The tools were easy to use, and the magnifying glass made examining the excavated bugs fun. The only downside from my perspective is that all the bugs were ...
