The Remarkable Ronald Reagan–Book Review

TLC Book Tours gave my family the opportunity to review this book. 

Ronald Reagan just so happens to be one of my favorite presidents so I was happy to do it!  ;)  I learned several things about him that I didn’t already know.  For one, I had no idea that was married to someone else before Nancy. 

It was fun for the kids to learn about him as well.  They loved that he had so many different jobs (including acting) before he was the President. 

I knew that he was an actor but do you know how many different movies he was in?  I was shocked when I found out!  Nope, not gonna tell, you’ll have to read the book to find out.  But it’s way more than the 2 or 3 I thought it was…..

President Reagan had a great sense of humor and great insight for our country.  We could definitely use a few more leaders like him. 

Truly, this book was a great read.  Story format instead of poetry this time.  The kids missed spotting the hidden object as in past books I’ve reviewed but this is a different author than the others.  We really did enjoy it.  And there are a lot of extra goodies at the end.  Kind of like Bonus Features!  ;)  I would be ok with a book like this about every president!

Baby J. Co–Playmat Review

Look at my sweet little guy.

Notice the beautiful blanket he’s sitting on. 

Actually it’s not a blanket… it’s a playmat.  Made and designed by Baby J Co. 

I was thrilled to be given the opportunity to review this product for my baby.  He is six months old now but still not mobile.  He’s a lump.  You set him down and he stays there…. like a good little boy.  :)

I don’t know about you but I never pack more than one blanket with me.  And especially during the hot months, I forget altogether sometimes.  That’s always a bummer because then I have nothing to cover myself with when I nurse.  Not a good situation.  I’m not a very discreet nurser despite all the practice I’ve had.  ;)  Plus I have nowhere to set the baby down when we are away from home.  And I don’t like using the same blanket to nurse with that I use on the ground at various places. 

Well, now I don’t have to.  This playmat stays in my bag at all times so I can pull it out when I need somewhere to set the baby down to play with his toys.  I always know which side goes down, too.  My little Munch likes to try and grab the textured dots. 

Don’t you love the texture?  I love it!!  Check out all the chic and beautiful fabrics there are to choose from.
