Pine Bros. Softish Throat Drops Giveaway
Cough cough. Time to enter to win some Pine Bros. throat relief. Enter this US only giveaway that ends 1/13/15. Good luck.
Herman Pine, of Pine Bros. sold his first batch of what he called ‘Pine Brothers Glycerin Tablets.’ In an attempt to relieve his own sore throat. Mr. Pine, a former German confectionery maker, combined the soothing natural qualities of plant glycerin with the healing properties of gum acacia into one softish drop. By doing so, he discovered that he had created a product that could sooth and mitigate the mild discomfort of a sore throat. Add in some natural flavoring and sweetener and Pine Brothers Softish Throat Drops were born.

Brewie Home Brewer Indiegogo Campaign
Yesterday, we highlighted the Poieo3D Printer Kickstarter campaign. They are highly unlikely to hit their goal, however much I'd like it to. Today, we highlight the Brewie campaign over at Indiegogo, another crowd funding site. They're creating a self-contained home brewer. Just add ingredients, push a few buttons, and out comes some beer. They're in a completely different situation. They've already hit their goal, have introduced some new perks, and still have another month to go to hit a stretch goal they've added.

The NuWave Precision Induction Cooktop Giveaway
Let's get cooking with our latest party starter, a NuWave induction cooktop. Great for the holiday overflow when you just need another burner, or for that single burner situation. Giveaway is continental US only and runs through 1/25.
The NuWave Precision Induction Cooktop Giveaway ($99 ARV)

&
And As Always A BIG Thank You To Blogs Helping To Promote This Giveaway!
Check out the Detailed Info from Nu Wave Below:
The NuWave Precision Induction Cooktop (PIC2) as seen on TV offers precise temperature control, adjustable in 10-degree increments. With a minimum temperature setting of 100F and an upper limit of 575F (Sear), the NuWave PIC2 offers a wider temperature range than competitor models. This permits the appliance to act as more than just a cooktop. The NuWave PIC2 does the thinking for you. It offers state-of-the art programming technology with 100 hours of memory that allow you to prepare complex recipes with ease. A "Delay" function allows you to initiate cooking when it's most convenient for you, including an automatic shutoff function when cooking time is completed. The NuWave PIC2 was engineered with a circular design scheme, doing away with excess space that serves no cooking function. The PIC2's round design also echoes the traditional feel of an intimate gathering place like the kitchen or dining room table. Mealtime is about community and the PIC2 was designed with that idea in mind. Despite its portability and compact size, the NuWave PIC2 offers a large cooking area, measuring 9 inches in diameter. In this case, bigger is better, with the PIC2 allowing for greater diversity in cooking vessels and portion sizes.

How to Help Your Children Remember the Neediest During this Busy Holiday Season
Talking about Childhood Hunger Creates
Teachable Moments Between Parents & Children
Teachable Moments Between Parents & Children
![]() |
Bowl by Junior Libby |
It's that time of year when we try not to forget the neediest. Author Lois Brandt guest posts about how to talk to the kids about it. Her book Maddi's Fridge presents a respectful approach to the situation.
Knowing when to talk to your children about serious problems they may face sooner rather than later can be difficult for parents.
Knowing when to talk to your children about serious problems they may face sooner rather than later can be difficult for parents.
While burdening a child with a complex issue at too early of an age may frighten or confuse them, it’s important to ensure they’re prepared for what they most certainly will be exposed to, says former Peace Corps volunteer and children’s author Lois Brandt.
“When I was a young girl, I opened my best friend’s refrigerator and discovered that her family had no food,” Brandt says. “I didn’t know what to do as a child facing this horrible issue. I didn’t know how to help my friend.”
Twenty percent of American children – one of every five -- live in households that struggle to afford food, according to a 2012 report from the United States Department of Agriculture.
Chances are that your child will have classmates whose families are struggling to put food on the table.
“Children follow where parents lead. Talking to your children about hunger shows them your empathy for others; it prepares them for the moment they may encounter hunger among their friends or classmates, and it assures them that they can talk to their parents about this problem,” says Brandt, author of “Maddi’s Fridge,” (www.MaddisFridge.com), a colorfully illustrated children’s picture book inspired by Brandt’s experience with her childhood friend.
She offers tips on how to talk to children about the widespread problem of child hunger.

Let There Be Man Socks Review and Giveaway

When I'm not wearing my white cotton crew socks, I'm typically wearing plain, single color socks, whether blue or black or some tans, too. My wife recently got me some with striped ones, but most are boring socks that look pretty plain. I never really thought of myself as boring, but my socks certainly are.

In case you can't tell from all the Chicken Soup for the Soul books highlighted here, I'm a Chicken Soup for the Soul blogger. They send me lots of books and I share my experiences with them, frequently giving away copies, too, like today where you can win one of three copies. At times, I feel each review is almost the same as the last, as the books have a common template. 101 stories about a common subject broken up across ten chapters with an intro by someone famous. Sometimes, the books hit closer to home with their theme, like a dog book. Other times, not so much, but I still enjoy reading the stories. Give me a cat book and I probably wouldn't even pick it up.
