Mailbox Monday!

This is my very first time linking up with Mailbox Monday! It is hosted by the fab people at Simply Stacie, This Mama Loves Her Bargains and A Little of This, A Little of That.

So, if you're stopping in from MM - Welcome! I will be sure to return the favor! Email is really the best way to keep up with all the great blogs out there! :)

Glasses Online?!

So I was talking to my Mom last night on the phone about how some things are just better bought online than in-store. She agreed. Some things, like children’s shoes, accessories, bath products, fabric can be just as inexpensive as in store AND you can shop at any time in the day – great for someone as busy as I am. Turns out, you can even order eyeglasses from the comfort of your own home!

Yup! You heard right, no more trying on your prescription glasses in a stuffy office. And you know me, if there is a service or a product out there that saves me time, money and energy (all three of which are in short supply lately) I’m all for it!

Truth be told, I had laser surgery on my eyes roughly 5 years ago. In the very first picture I have with my twins I’m wearing glasses… today, they hardly recognize me in that pic!

So when you’re due for new glasses consider looking for your glasses online – it’s amazing how far web shopping has come! The nice people at Glasses USA has offered all Take A Mom's Word For It Readers a special 10% off your next purchase just by entering mommy10 at check out. Also, check out Glasses USA's Facebook page, they're often offering up giftcards! Enjoy!

The Magic Warble Review & GIVEAWAY!

I am not much of a reader – at least not for leisure purposes. Let’s face it, I’m a busy, (now) working Mom of three and when I have a few extra minutes reading does not make my top 3! That being said, I was contacted by a lovely woman by the name of Victoria Simcox. Victoria is the author of a book titled “The Magic Warble”.

The Magic Warble is a magical book about fairies, dwarfs, gnomes and talking animals. I was glad I was given the opportunity to read and review this book for you – for one, it forced me to take a little time for myself, and second, it really is a great book! Much to my delight, my book arrived signed, with a bookmark and a bracelet.

The Magic Warble is about an unlikely and somewhat lonely hero named Kristina. She travels to a new and magical land where she makes a few unusual friends as she tries to fulfill her quest to save this newly found land.

The Magic Warble is intended for a tween audience, but as an adult, I still found it to be a great read – and beautifully written. It’s a book of fabulous fantasy and would make for a wonderful Christmas gift!

The author Victoria Simcox has offered one lucky Take A Mom’s Word For It reader a copy of her book!

BUY IT!

The Magic Warble is available for purchase at http://www.themagicwarble.com/ or through Amazon.

WIN IT!

Win your very own copy of The Magic Warble and be transported to a land of fantasy!

Mandatory Entry

As always, please leave your email address with every comment (unless it’s in your profile)… you don’t want to win and then have me not be able to reach you!

Please leave me a comment telling me who in your family would enjoy this book – simple right?!
