Enter to Win 30 Safees & Get a 15% Discount!

Safees are pedestrian traffic safety reflectors. They help to keep you visible when walking (or biking, or whatever you might be doing) in the dark. As an approaching vehicle's headlights hit you, the Safees reflector reflects the light so that you are more than three times as visible to oncoming traffic. This will give the driver ample time to steer clear of you. Without a reflector, it can be very difficult for traffic to see you in the dark.

This would be excellent for when your kids are Trick-or-Treating this year! Safees come in many colors and styles so you will be sure to find one your children will love!

Safees are meant to be worn at knee length free of clothing or other objects that would block the reflector.

Safees is giving everyone who 'LIKE' their Facebook page a 15% discount and a chance to win up to 60 Safees.

Go visit the Safees Facebook page to get your discount code and enter to win!

Tasty Tuesday: Copycat Recipe for Gino's Pubwich

I love food. I love eating good food. So when my buddy, Amy posted this recipe on her blog,...I knew I would have to try it.

Doesn't it look delicious??

Copycat recipe of Gino's Pubwich

This is a copycat recipe for Gino's Pubwich. Whenever I hear the word Pubwich I think of another Amy, I knew years ago in school who got pregnant and all she wanted to eat were these. I thought they were disgusting because they had lettuce. I hate lettuce, btw. But then I figured out you didn't have to have the lettuce and all was right with the world.

To find out how to make this click over here and get the recipe. And let me know if you tried it and loved it like we did! :)

Music Monday: Seasons Change

I'm not sure why but this felt like a really appropriate song choice for today. You know I love my old school music...so enjoy! :)

Back to School - 3rd Grade

Today is the first day of school...and I'm kinda sad.

I mean this girl can drive me absolutely batty but I love her with everything in me. I really hate having her gone for so long during the day. Matthew isn't too thrilled about it either. His play buddy is gone. But her toys are still here!

She was up at 6:30 this morning already excited for what the day held. Dressed and backpack ready by 7:05. It was a loooong wait until we could walk down the driveway at 8:00. :)

Here's a pic of our annual pose. She knows the drill. Get on the bus and turn around and wait til I click it. Then she ran toward the back of the bus....she's off and I'm feeling like a piece of me is gone.

Tidewater Inn by Colleen Coble - Book Review

Tidewater Inn was AMAZING! I loved it! It is my favorite kind of book - full of drama and family and of course a love story. :)

While reading it I was constantly trying to figure out the mystery part of it. I have always prided myself on the fact that I have read so much that I could foresee what was coming. But I didn't this time! That was kinda cool.

I have read a few of Colleen Coble's books before and Tidewater Inn was just as great as the others. She is an excellent author who knows how to spin a tale that keeps you interested in what is coming next.

Welcome to Hope Beach. A place of intoxicating beauty . . . where trouble hits with the force of a hurricane. 

Inheriting a beautiful old hotel on the Outer Banks could be a dream come true for Libby. The inn cries out for her restorer’s talent and love of history. She’s delighted to learn of the family she never knew she had. And the handsome Coast Guard lieutenant she’s met there on the island could definitely be the man of her dreams. 

But Libby soon realizes that the only way she can afford the upkeep on the inn is to sell it to developers who are stalking the island. The father who willed her the inn has died before she could meet him, and her newfound brother and sister are convinced she’s there to steal their birthright. Worst of all, her best friend and business partner has been kidnapped before her eyes, and Libby’s under suspicion for the crime.

Libby’s dream come true is becoming a nightmare. Her only option is to find her friend and prove her innocence, or lose everything on the shores of Hope Island.

Meet Colleen: 

Best-selling author Colleen Coble's novels have won or finaled in awards ranging from the Best Books of Indiana, ACFW Book of the Year, RWA’s RITA, the Holt Medallion, the Daphne du Maurier, National Readers' Choice, and the Booksellers Best. She has nearly 2 million books in print and writes romantic mysteries because she loves to see justice prevail. Colleen is CEO of American Christian Fiction Writers and is a member of Romance Writers of America. She lives with her husband Dave in Indiana.

Visit her website at www.colleencoble.com. Twitter @colleencoble.

Celebrate with Colleen by entering to win a $500 gift certificate to BedandBreakfast.com!

One grand prize winner will receive:

• A $500 gift certificate to BedandBreakfast.com

• A copy of Tidewater Inn by Colleen Coble

Enter today by clicking one of the icon below. But hurry, the giveaway ends on August 22nd. Winner will be announced at the "Tidewater Inn" Author Chat Facebook Party on 8/23.

She’ll also be giving away gift certificates, books and a Book Club Prize Pack (10 copies for your book club or small group.)!
