I went to The Voice with the hope of just making the show.” What a difference a year makes. Now Mann is signed to Faircraft/Universal Republic, a new label formed by renowned producer/music executive Ron Fair. He’s also releasing

Purex has made their triple action laundry detergent even stronger with Oxi!  I tried out Fresh Morning Burst fragrance, it has a nice smell, fresh and outdoorsy.

    A local family (Doylestown, PA) is participating in a nationwide campaign this Halloween to help dispel myths and raise awareness about ADHD, a disease that affects more than 10 million Americans, including millions of children. Many Americans think that ADHD is caused, or made worse, by the consumption of refined sugar and candy. According to the National Institutes of Mental Health, “the idea that refined sugar causes ADHD or makes symptoms worse is popular, but more research discounts this theory than supports it.” According to ADHD Aware Founder Natalie Knochenhauer, Halloween provides a great opportunity to dispel this myth and educate people that ADHD is a serious disease of the brain. The organization is doing that by asking parents to distribute small, Halloween-themed cards (right) along with candy on October 31     “ADHD is not caused by bad parenting or unruly kids” said Knochenhauer. “It’s a real disease that affects more than 10 million Americans. However, because

The title of this book alone catches my attention.  What in the world is the author talking about?  Her dress size?  Her outfit? The author, Rhoda Janzen ,  returns to church  in her adult life, after not being an active church goer since she was 12.  She is dating a man who is an very active Church goer, so she begins to attend church with him. She finds herself going through a journey of faith and love. The book is really good!!!   Read it, give it as a gift to your girlfriend, sister, or anyone! The church she is attending is not the Mennonite church she was raised in, but a Pentecostal church. If you are feeling distant from an organized church setting, this book might be a really good read for you. It's her story of love, faith, finding strength in her illness, and faith in God. This book is about life as we know it: family, love, marriage, illness, and faith. You can get a copy from the author over at her web site-look for locations where the book is sold near the bottom of

WAR HORSE is Coming to   Academy of Music   Tuesday, November 20 through Sunday December 2, 2012   It's a great show especially for kids 11 and older!     A remarkable tale of courage, loyalty and friendship. England, 1914. As World War One begins, Joey, young Albert's beloved horse, is sold to the cavalry and shipped from England to France. He's soon caught up in enemy fire, and fate takes him on an extraordinary journey, serving on both sides before finding himself alone in no man's land. But Albert cannot forget Joey and, still not old enough to enlist, he embarks on a treacherous mission to find him and bring him home. This powerfully moving and imaginative drama, filled with stirring music and songs, is a show of phenomenal inventiveness. At it's heart are astonishing life-sized puppets created by South Africa's Handspring Puppet Company, who bring breathing, galloping, charging horses to life on the stage   For more information go to Kimmel Center Broadway

I watched The Heart Of Christmas  a few days ago. While watching this film I was reminded what the  heart of Christmas is. To slow down, cherish every day, don't put your kids last, put them first, and to enlarge my territory. By that I mean share what I know, be nicer, be kinder, and it's not all about me. You will see what I am talking about when you watch this film. You'll see the Mom of an ill child and how she touches every one's heart she comes in contact with while trying to find a cure for her ill son. It's a inspiring, sad, true, and hopeful story for families and parents to watch. This Christmas consider supporting http://www.daxlocke.org   The Dax Locke Foundation.

Last week when I was in the mall shopping, I thought I heard Christmas Music. I had to stop and listen to be sure it was what I heard. Yep, it's time to start thinking about the holidays. I love the twinkling lights, the cheery holiday songs, the wrapping paper-I even like to wrap gifts,and all the yummy things to bake.  I know stores already have Christmas decorations out and I'm still trying to decorate for Halloween. What about Thanksgiving? It seems like the day after Thanksgiving every one's house is decorated for Christmas. Did they sleep that night? Did the elves come and decorate for them? I always wonder how people get their decorations up on Black Friday-me- I'm out shopping! I've already marked my calendar to get my holiday decorations done early this year. That goes for sending out my Christmas Cards on time too. I still send them out. I love to get them too!  I could spend a lot of time looking at Christmas Cards.  I just love those winter scenes, the o
