I am a fan of organic clothing, so when I was given the chance to review Zehn Naturals, I could not wait to receive my t-shirt.  At Zehn Naturals you will find 100% certified organic cotton apparel and t-shirts for men and women, featuring original imagery printed with earth friendly inks.

They have so many great designs that it took me some time

Having spent a better part of a week in the Mediterranean this past April, I’ve come to appreciate the flavors and tastes that are a part of that region’s diet. 

The residents in the Mediterranean are known for healthy eating and Micheal Season’s newest snack offering “Mediterranean Potato Chips” fit right into that concept.  With 30% less fat than regular potato chips, these premium potato chips are all natural.  They tasted deliciously similar

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

When I was eight years old, I saw Flying Tigerswith John Wayne and knew I wanted to be a pilot. After graduating from Mississippi State University, I joined the Air Force. My career in the cockpit was nothing less than a thirty-five-year answer to a young boy’s unspoken prayer. With three tours in Southeast Asia behind me, I left the Air Force to work for Delta Air Lines. I flew for Delta for twenty-eight years and retired from the cockpit in 1997.

When I retired, I was a man who would rather be digging post holes with a popsickle stick than be trapped in a house. Then, in January of 2002, my wife watched God transform me into a man who hungers to hide in a room in front a computer monitor, trying to shape words into pictures.

Abiding Darkness, Wedgewood Grey and And If I Die—The Black or White Chronicles—concerned themselves with spiritual warfare and fit well in the thriller/suspense genre. The Cool Womanis an action/adventure novel with a Viet Nam War setting; the protagonist is a cool and competent fighter pilot.

Twitter Moms and Airwear are asking moms to share tips on how they ensure a healthy, safe and successful school year for their children.

So here are mine:

Successful

1) Routine – A couple of weeks before school starts, begin your weekly routine.  Make sure bedtime will be the time it will be when school starts.  Have children wake up to their alarms, eat breakfast and get school bags by the door.  That will make sure that when school starts they’re ready to go with no hassles.

Ice Cream has got to be hands down one of the best foods ever invented.  I ♥ it.  Now that we just purchased a 12.1 cubic foot freezer, I have even more room to stock up on it!  It’s like every other week I see a new kind I want to try.  There are just so many to choose from.

Well Mom Central bailed me out from decision making this week, because they sent me coupons on behalf of Breyers to try out the Smooth & Dreamy Ice Cream Bars & Sandwiches.  Well okay they only sort of narrowed my choice down to the brand.  I still had to pick one of the six varieties available.

Last year I reviewed a really nice family organizer from BusyBodyBook.  It’s a treat to be able to feature them on my blog again this year.  BusyBodyBook Family Planners are the only organizer you’ll need to keep your family running like a well oiled machine this school year.

This planner came with me nearly everywhere the last time I reviewed it.  I organized our school schedule, meals, appointments and activities, and felt well in control of our weekly agenda.  I always had a handle or who was coming or going, what they were eating and what they needed to accomplish their task wherever it was.

I was first introduced to chai through a friend of mine, when we stopped at a coffee shop.  It was a number of years ago, and although I don’t recall exactly how I had it prepared it was delicious.  Now when I walk in the door of a coffee shop, I check to see if they have chai on the menu.

I’m actually a pretty frugal person.  Coffee shop runs are done only on occasion and usually when I do go, I have a gift card to help with the purchase.  Justifying $3.75+ for a small drink is hard to do.  So I’m happy to have found, Oregon Chai, as it will not break my wallet to enjoy a good chai.
