Brothers All Natural Review, Take 2

I first ran across Brothers-All-Natural here on this blog back in March, when I posted a review of their freeze dried fruit products. You may have noticed that there is a second giveaway coming up from them with freeze-dried veggies. Come back 9/20 to try to win 4 large containers of Harvester Farms cans that will last 25 years.

Below you'll find a rebroadcast of the original review.

Our family is a big fan of freeze dried fruits. We've been eating the apples, strawberries, and pineapple from Brothers All Natural for years. It is readily available from our local grocery stores and is a great, healthy snack for parents and child alike.

I recently had the chance to try out the sampler packs from Brothers. They have two. One is their regular packaging and one is their kid-friendly Disney packaging. I'd never bought the kid-friendly packaging before, even though it is available right next to what we usually buy, and never realized the product is the same between the two. Natural freeze-dried apples are natural freeze-dried apples, for instance, whether they are packaged with Mickey Mouse on the packaging or not. There are no additives here like sugar to make things more appealing for the kiddies. It is literally just to have a kid-friendlier packaging. Once they try these out, most kids won't need the added Disney packaging.

Do you or someone you know really like motorcycles? Sign up over the Mercury Magazines for a free annual subscription of Sport Rider.The magazine emphasizes performance, both in the motorcycle and in the rider.

Wexy Colorful Character Snack Bags Review

I never heard of Wexy before but, thanks to a review opportunity, I had the chance to review their colorful character snack bags. With school now starting, I thought it would be great for my son to take into school. We didn't use them all up last month so we have a few left for school.

I first brought the bags out on a play date with friends when we were out hiking. They're great for holding snacks. But, what I liked more about them for hiking is they are biodegradable. I didn't think anyone would leave the bags behind, but if by chance they somehow got lost, at least the plastic wouldn't be as destructive to the woodlands we were walking in.

Swapping Unwanted DVDs, CDs, and Games

Video Game Controller by Junior Libby

A not so long time ago, I had a ton of CDs. Most I didn't listen to any more. At first, I tried reselling them on Amazon, as I had done with a bunch of used books when my bookcase collapsed. This didn't work out so well with CDs as their price point was much less but the time needed to sell each was the same. Factor in the cost of a padded shipping envelope, and this route didn't sound too appealing. Even worse was the total time involved since I had to wait for each individual sale to happen.

What did I do with them? I found a web site that told you the trade in value of each disc and shipped them all off in one box. In return for the discs, I got an early model iPod. Video version even. Yeah, that long ago. It proved to be a great trade as I found the iPod very useful at the time.

Realm of Racket Review

My day job is in computer programming. As an author myself and active programmer, I periodically have the opportunity to review new programming books. I recently had the chance to review the book Realm of Racket. Racket is a programming language in the Lisp family. The book is written by Matthias Felleisen, David Van Horn, Conrad Barski. Felleisen is one of the original authors of the language. What I found most interesting before opening the book is the other eight contributing authors to the book. They're all students at Northeastern University. That's where I got my undergrad degree. I was out of school a few years before I wrote my first programming book.

What is the book about? It is an programming book that teaches the Racket programming language through the use of games. It is similar in concept to a prior book from this publisher I reviewed, Land of Lisp, but teaching Racket instead of Lisp. The primary author here, Felleisen, has also written The Little Schemer and How to Design Programs. All offer fun ways to learn programming.

A Wicked Kind of Dark Book Blast

We're announcing a new book here and have a $100 Amazon Gift Card giveaway that ends 9/22. It is open worldwide. Check the details below for the specific entry rules. Good luck and enjoy the book.

A Wicked Kind of Dark Robert Duncan no longer believes in magic. A mysterious call about a blood moon, however, leads him back to the magical world of his childhood and to Luthien, the beautiful girl with flame-coloured hair, who he loved and lost. As Robert unravels the secrets of his childhood, darkness enters his life and an ancient evil awakens. To have any chance of defeating the dark forces that would destroy two worlds, Robert must find Luthien before the rise of the blood moon. He must, once more, believe in magic … A Wicked Kind of Dark mixes vast and spectacular fantasy landscapes with gritty urban reality. A must-read for people of all ages who believe in the power of imagination, and the importance of never losing touch with your inner child.

Lefty's Gift Set Giveaway

My dad was left-handed and it was always fun watching him try to use right-handed tools/gadgets. If you're left-handed or know someone who is, this giveaway is for you, offering a bunch of left-handed items. Be sure to enter before 9/9.

Lefty's Left Hand Store Giveaway!

Hosted by More Than Mommy

Lefty's make up about 10% of the population, yet it can be so difficult to find good quality supplies for left-handed people. Lefty's has the world's biggest selection of left-handed goods, from school and office supplies to kitchen gadgets, to watches and even mugs!

Look at the difference Lefty's left-handed notebooks make:  Regular notebook on the left, and Lefty's on the Right.

With school having started up, now is the time to provide for the lefty's in your family.  Have you ever tried to write with your weaker hand? If you are like me, then it came out terrible! Think how it must be to have to write on a notebook that has the spiral digging into your hand? To allow children to perform at the highest level they are able, they must have the correct supplies for them.

Pizza Stone From Pampered Chef Giveaway

Here's a great giveaway that runs until September 7th. Do you like making pizza at home? Make sure you enter if you do.

Pizza night is always fun in my house and we love using our Stone from Pampered Chef. It is probably one of the most handy trays in the kitchen. The stoneware actually wicks away moisture from the shell or from the frozen foods you prepare on it and makes it crisp. The more your cook with it the darker the stone color gets and that is what you want because you will get great crusty results.
