MY REVIEW:
Are you trying to be a supermom? Dr. Daisy encourages us moms to be the mom God made each of us to be. The author covers the topics of faith, family, home, health & beauty, balance, work, and volunteering. I like "DR. MOMMY 911," which highlights main points in each chapter. There are also sidebars that offer cool, practical advice such as Five Creative Ideas for Family Devotion, Ten Ways to Make Your Husband Feel Loved, and Best Couponing Sites and Apps. This is an easy-to-read, all-around book that helps moms manage their time and their busy lives in a less stressful & more productive way.

DVD Review and Giveaway: A Mile in His Shoes

A Mile in His Shoes is a family-friendly movie (PG) about a young man diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome (a form of autism) and how his God-given talent (his amazing throwing ability) helps him and others. It's about overcoming challenges in life. It is based on the book "The Legend of Mickey Tussler" (a true story). It's directed by William Dear, the director of "Angels In the Outfield." It stars Dean Cain who plays Arthur Murphy, a baseball coach and Luke Schroder who plays Mickey, the main character. Excellent performances! My family and I enjoyed this movie. It spoke to my heart deeply because one of my kids has symptoms that are similar to Asperger's Syndrome but the doctors diagnosed him with anxiety disorder, instead. My son is very athletic and great with numbers like Mickey. He is also sensitive to noise and crowds like Mickey. When Coach Murphy sees Mickey (a farmer boy) throw apples at a bucket for his pigs, he knows that he has just fo...
