Between You And Me

Between Me and You Keepsake Journals are wonderful personal gifts you can give to someone special in your life. These hardcover, spiral bound journals contain 35-45 fun questions and are divided into 6 chapters each asking about a different phase of life or relationship. You can even add pictures or questions of your own on the blank pages in the back. The spiral bound journal also makes it easy to rip out pages that are not relevant to keep the journal flowing.

Give as a gift for someone to fill out and return back to you or fill one out yourself to giveaway. Personally I think I would love to fill one out for my daughters and give it to them when they are older. I would also love for my mother and grandmother to fill one out for me. With 15 different journals to choose from you could give one to everyone in your family as well as your closest friends. Spanish versions are also available. To view the different journals available and see a preview of the prewritten questions go to Between Me and You Journals.com

Winston Simmonds Jr is President/Founder of Sand Dune Publishing and created the Between Me and You Relationship Keepsake Journals. His desire to have something truly personal and meaningful from his family and friends was his driving force for creating the keepsake journal. The response from his family and friends when he gifted them his original handwritten journal helped him to realize others might also want a more meaningful interaction with their family and friends. He says " I just wanted to share this unique journal idea to help us all get a little closer to the people we care about while having fun at the same time."

To order yours go to Between Me and You Journals . At an amazing cost of only $14.95 wouldn't it me nice to have a personalized keepsake to look back on or one to pass down through the generations.

Along the way we are introduced to Chester's friends who offer solutions to stay cool, but Chester is looking for something else.

Just as he ponders this question his owner comes out and she see's how hot he is an offers a cool solution, a nice bath from the hose. Cooled down and free from muddy and the prickly thorn he goes to finally rest and relax under the shade bush in the cooling breeze.

Busy BodyBook Review & Giveaway

Do the days seem to run together? Forgetful of events or appointments? With running a business, blogging and my 2 adorable yet high maintenance run a muck toddlers, I am so scattered. I am very excited to have the opportunity to review BusyBodyBook. Finally something to help me organize my life, family and business all in one place.

BusyBodyBook offers 5 columns to coordinate and keep track of activities, family members, projects, business and much more. See everything side by side for easy coordination and time management. The opposite page "To Doodles" has tons of space for making quick notes , at a glance to do lists or what ever else you can think of.

The BusyBodyBook also features:

* Planning Calender for birthdays and anniversaries
* Another Planner for next years important appointments & occasions
* Months at a glance
* Perforated shopping lists
* Important Contacts pages
* 2 large inside cover pockets
* A bookmark to keep you on the right page
* Film laminated covers
* Protective clear plastic front and back covers

For me this is perfect. I broke my columns down in to playdates, business, blog and hubbies work schedule. I still have 1 column left for any extra actives or appointments I may have. I really enjoy how all my columns are side by side, this makes for easy scheduling. I have used the "To Doodles" side for noting websites, phone numbers, directions and of course fabric & clothing ideas or sketches. Already the BusyBodyBook has organized my hectic life and I could not be happier ...and less stressed!

Find Linky @ My Charmed Life & Jolly Mom

The girls and I made some "new" friends. I say "new" because this was the first time meeting in person, but not the first time chit chatting. I had the pleasure to meetup with a blogger buddy whom I have admired since I first started blogging.... Michelle of Her Cup Overflowth. After I moved to CA we realized we were not that far from each other so her and her kiddos came over for a playdate. C & M were so excited! Our kids hit it off right away. They played like they had known each other their whole lives. It was so enjoyable, and meeting Michelle was awesome. She is as sweet in person as she is online. Michelle and I sat around the kitchen table talking, eating and laughing. It was a great day :)
