My Memories Software Giveaway!!!

I was contacted by My Memories and asked to review their scrap booking software.. As one that is not very good with doing scrap booking I was impressed. I found the software very easy to use. Adding pictures was just a simple click as well as adding any text I wanted. Not only do they have a slue of different styles to choose from in their package but they also offer other free add-ons to go along with it. Here are some of the pages that I created in only a few minutes.

This program is so easy to use that I am going to start scrap booking now! I know I have said that many times in the past but I am all about things being easy to do so that I can still have time for a life! lol..

So here is the deal.. My Memories suite wants to give one of my wonderful readers a copy of this software too! For FREE!

Ok, so here are the rules for the giveaway!

1.) Go check out http://www.mymemories.com/ .. Once you get there choose your favorite digital paper pack or layout.

Homecoming Giveaway!

We all know that deployments can be hard, being away from family and friends, adjusting to life as a "single" parent for the ones left behind and adjusting to life on a ship or in the desert somewhere.

As hard as deployments are, coming home can be even harder. Readjusting to roles as husband, wife, father, mother, and all the chores that go along with home life. Integrating your spouse back into daily routines can cause stress for everyone involved. The left behind parent doesn't want to give up the "power" so to speak and the returning parent may not know how to handle the new requirements for their time.

There is hope for families dealing with these situations. Sometimes it can be hard to go ask for help from a counselor or even talk about it with your own spouse but communication is key to moving past the reintegration period.

I have recently found out about another helpful tool for people dealing with Coming Home to family.

You can check out this wonderful tool by clicking here!

Giveaway of American Sniper!

The publisher of AMERICAN SNIPER by Chris Kyle contacted me and sent me a copy of the book to read. I am about half way through it now and it is hard to put down. It is so interesting to read about the life of a Navy Seal! Especially the most Lethal Sniper in Military History!

So here is the thing.. The company once again contacted me and offered to let me do a giveaway to my readers of this book. So, If you would also like to win a copy of this book then post a response on this blog and I will do a random drawing on Saturday to pick the winner.

Here you can check out an excerpt of the book to see if it is something that would interest you. I can tell you that just reading about Hell week gave me more insight into the life of a SEAL than I ever had before. I hope you enjoy it as much as I am! I am finding it very hard to put this book down to go to sleep!

All the things you have wondered about including what they are like in their downtime is all in this book. Wanna know what it takes to be a Navy SEAL? You should go grab a copy today, cause it will be one of the most interesting books you read this year.
