As the new year is left in the dust and we creep into February…I find myself asking if I have begun to work on my New Years goals or if I have left them in the dust as well. In February, many people either have forgotten their New Years resolutions or are diligently trying to stay on track.

I have made the promise to myself to continue to strive toward a healthier lifesyle for myself and my family. I have found that essential vitamins and supplements are part of this regimine. I am a avid vitamin and supplement advocate…as we do not always get the essential vitamins and minerals we should be getting every day. Supplements can help achieve that goal.

So if you are reading my post and noting that perhaps you should be getting more daily vitamins…or just want some reminders or encouragement to do so… Nature Made has a great new site that can assist!

A stunning new comic book version of the Bible now given the superhero treatment by the team behind The Lion Graphic Bible and The Manga Bible

The story of the Bible is a unique tale of origins and cosmic powers; of the ageless battle between good and evil; of human potential and human treachery; and of a Messiah–a savior for the world. This is indeed the stuff that graphic novels are made of. Superheroes are the biggest comic genre of all, with many heroes having their origins in biblical characterization and imagery. This is the first Bible retelling to engage with and challenge the superhero genre.

The Lion Comic Book Hero Bible is a dynamic expression of the Bible’s depth and power, produced in the style of Marvel™ Comics. You’ve heard of Spiderman, Superman, and Wonder Woman. Now meet Earthman, Lawman, Warrior Man, and many others. With dynamic illustration using a range of styles, Siku (Old Testament) and Jeff Anderson (New Testament) bring the Bible stories alive for a new and graphically sophisticated generation. – See more at: http://www.kregel.com/siku-richard-thomas/the-lion-comic-book-hero-bible-2/#sthash.xiDBBwn9.dpuf

Our Review:

We were so excited to see this publication. I was confident that my children and religious education students would gravitate toward the publication immediately. I was right! My 9 year old son grabbed it as soon as I opened the package. He was eager to get into the text! He is a graphic novel fan and a comic fan so this Bible was right up his alley. As for my students … this worked as a great supplemental Bible when they are working on activities. They love to look up characters and their stories within the Hero Bible.

Overall this is a great publication. The pictures are vivid and exciting and it presents the le in such a great new way! Do not miss out on this new publication.

About WaterWipes
WaterWipes are chemical free – this means they don’t contain preservatives. The package will keep for up to 15 months before it is opened. Once you open your WaterWipes package, it is recommended that you use the pack within 3 months.
Unlike some other wipe brands, WaterWipes are not interfolded. This allows for the sterile environment within the package to be maintained. For the same reason, it is recommended that you do not relocate the wipes in an alternate container.

Our Review:

Through the Influence Central campaign we were privileged to review water wipes in two sizes… a 240 count package and a 540 count package. The 240 count package was a soft sided multi-pack that  contained 4 sleeves of 60 wipes each. The 540 count package was a box that contained 9 sleeves of 60 wipes each. Both were of quailty product and good at a bulk discount. However I liked the option of a box of wipes more because the box was easier to store and contained more wipes. But however you purchase them they are still a great value for the premium product!

WaterWipes are chemical free and we love this feature. We have had issues in the past with other brand wipes burning the skin of our children and causing rashes. We even had such an extreme experience that our daughter had to be under doctors care for severe chemical burns due to the wipe ingredients. WATERWIPES takes care of any chemical issue because they are CHEMICAL FREE! We love to use them… we can also use them easily on the hands and faces of all of our children without worrying of any repercussions from the ingredients or causing rashes. This is such a great product! I cannot advocate for this wipe enough! We are in love and will continue to purchase this new brand!

Before I had kids I always said I would never ever be the soccer mom driving a mini van. I would always want an SUV rather than a minivan.  Well, after I had kids I got smart and starting looking at minivans. Once you drive a van with kids, you’ll never go back!  I had the opportunity to drive around a Kia Sedona SX-L for a week, and boy was I the envy of all of the other moms!

The Kia Sedona had every single bell and whistle you can imagine to make life easier!  I was amazed at how roomy it was on the inside. I felt like I could fit 20 kids on there.  The seats folded down in the back and I had lots of room to fit all of our luggage, and even a dresser!

The leather seats were so comfortable and easy to clean!  Dual sunroofs made it fun and airy for the kids.  I was disappointed when I didn’t see a DVD player hanging from the ceiling, and then I realized it pops up from the center console. How nice that I no longer had a blind spot when my kids wanted to watch a movie.

The navigation was very user friendly and all of the climate controls were easy to control.  My favorite part was the heated seats and heated steering wheel. My husband liked that he could make his seats cold.  It was nice to have both options.  The Sedona drove very smooth.  I found myself speeding quite often it rode so nice.

The absolute best part of the entire vehicle, though, were the back up cameras.  I literally did not have to even look behind me when I was going in reverse.  The cameras showed me every single angle imaginable and even alerted me when I car or pedestrian was entering my zone.  It was absolutely unbelievable and I felt so safe.  I am a terrible parallel parker, but with this feature I was able to do it the first time!

The Kia Sedona has great gas mileage and an amazing 10 year/100,000 mile limited powertrain warranty.  If you are looking for a new family car, you most definitely need to take a Kia Sedona SX-L for a ride. You will not be disappointed!
