Kindle Envy

ByAmy Limbrick
I admit it.  I’m a bit jealous of Kindle-owners.  My husband has a first generation model and hasn’t grown tired of it.  When we went to the beach recently for vacation, he and my mother-in-law (she has one now, too) didn’t have the usual 3-4 books packed, just their Kindles.  Cameron even has a waterproof case for his so he can take it to the pool!

Now is the time to get one.  The latest generation model is better than ever and is only $189!!!!  I really think that’s a steal considering you get FREE 3G Wireless with it.  Yeah, I don’t think everyone understands that it includes free internet access without a monthly payment or annual contract.

Honestly, I haven’t even scratched the surface with discovering all of the wonderful Kindle features.  I’m afraid if I start using my husband’s, he won’t get it back!  C’mon, you can read the first chapter for FREE for most books, so I would for sure get hooked.  I don’t really need one, but . . .

The Power of Vinegar

ByAmy Limbrick

Yesterday I was doing some detailed cleaning in the kitchen and got out the big jug of vinegar.  Sometimes I forget how useful it is!  Recently our Breville "Cafe Roma" Espresso machine had been acting up, seeming to lack power.  Vinegar to the rescue!  I filled the water reservoir halfway with equal parts water and…

The Perfect Lip Balm

The Perfect Lip Balm

ByAmy Limbrick

I’ve tried so many lip balms!  Some may seem great at first, but usually disappoint.  Most balms have ingredients that temporarily soothe your lips, but actually cause your lips to shut down their own moisturizing and healing abilities.   Here it is: I first bought mine at Target, then went back and bought three more…

The Essence of Chocolate

ByAmy Limbrick

Essence of Chocolate: Recipes for Baking and Cooking with Fine Chocolate I admit I am very skeptical about cookbooks like this.  Are they just using chocolate to lure me in?  Will the butter, chocolate, and time that I put into these recipes yield fabulous results?  (I’m kind of a chocolate dessert snob, I admit it!) …
