Lost and Found is Carolyn Parkhurst’s second book and it sure makes me want to go read the first. She’s a fantastic writer. The story was intriguing and the characters were so captivating I read the whole book in one day. The characters are in the midst of filming a reality show, but even if you aren’t a reality TV fanatic you’ll enjoy this book.

The 24-Hour Pharmacist is written by Suzy Cohen, a pharmacist and author of the syndicated column “Dear Pharmacist.” She breaks the book up in to sections based on sections of the body; Above the Waist, Above the Neck, Below the Waist, And Everything in Between. In each chapter she gives expert advice on everything from colds to toe fungus to heart disease and depression. But she doesn’t just spout out long lists of symptoms and tell you what drugs to take. She explains why we suffer from these diseases, describes the current drugs on the market and then gives some natural alternatives.

I’ve tried a lot of photo sharing websites, all with their own pros and cons, so I jumped at the chance to review a new one; Greetingflix.com.
I really like the concept. There are tons of websites out there where you can upload your photos and then send your friends and family a link to come view them. This site takes it one step further. At Greetingflix.com you can make a little video with your pictures. They supply the template and the music. You supply the pictures. It’s really pretty fun and the finished product is great.

About three weeks ago, Brighter Minds Media approached me and asked if I’d like to review some of their products. They told me they offer a fun, innovative line of products including software, books, workbooks, flashcards, interactive DVD games and online games. That sounded like just the type of thing I like to buy for my family so I was game.
