Silk Milk Coupon & Silk Chico Bag Giveaway 6/15


We've joined the Silk for Milk 10 Day Challenge by drinking
or cooking with silk on days/times we would normally be 
cooking or drinking with milk. We're mostly drinking milk 
with our cold & hot cereals, hot chocolate or cooking.

So instead of drinking regular 2% milk, I switched for Silk 
Vanilla (Soy) and Silk Pure Coconut Milk. So delicious and 
with 0% cholesterol.

Silk sent us a coupon for a free Silk Milk of our choice,so 
I let the kids choose and they wanted to try Simply Silk
It tastes really good with a silky feel. I gave Silk Pure
Coconut a try and love it with my morning oatmeal and 
bananas. We love Silk Soy and can't keep that in the fridge
for a week as the kids like drinking it alone in place of milk.
I do admit I'm feeling lighter and healthier after drinking 
and cooking with Silk for more than 2 weeks.

Silk offers great tips here on how you can switch to Silk 
from milk. Here are a couple of our favorites we use. 
  • Green Machine Smoothie
  • Before School Boost
  • Use Silk Unsweetened Soymilk in scrambled eggs for breakfast. 
  • Pour Silk Pure Coconut Milk into popsicle molds, pop it in the freezer and you have yummy coconut pops!
WIN IT!!
1 Luscious Deals reader will win a Silk 
coupon & this cute Silk Chico Bag!

The DMZ a novel by Jeanette Windle (Author of Veiled Freedom)


The ultimate weapon of revenge against the U.S. lurks
in the Colombian jungle.

Paperback: 512 pages
Publisher: Kregel Publications
Language: English
ISBN: 0825441936

Synopsis: 
More than a decade after the end of the cold war has chilled 
the Marxist rebel movements around the world, one hot spot 
remains-Columbia. 

The inexplicable loss of three major U.S. assets draws the 
attention of the world to the Columbian demilitarized zone. 
Are the local Colombian rebels responsible? Or is a deadly
Middle Eastern secret cloaked by the jungle canopy of the 
DMZ?

Among the contingent of politicians and media headed for the
DMZ seeking answers is reporter Julie Baker, whose parents
had been missionaries in Colombia. Old hurts and terrors 
surge as she revisits the place of her birth-and her parent's
deaths. When Julie's own abduction by guerrillas triggers a 
time bomb that has been ticking under the feet of the U.S. 
for a decade, she is left with more questions than answers. 

With the fate of two countries resting in her hands, Julie must
put aside her own terror to face just what God's call to sac
rifice will mean for her past and her increasingly uncertain 
future. 

About The Author
As the child of missionary parents, award-winning author 
and journalist Jeanette Windle grew up in the rural villages,
jungles, and mountains of Colombia, which are now guerilla
hot zones. Described as a "top notch storyteller" by Publishers
Weekly, Jeanette's detailed writing is so realistic and care
fully researched that government agencies have questioned
her to determine if she has received classified information. 
Currently based in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, Jeanette has 
lived in six countries and has traveled extensively on five 
continents. She has fifteen books in print, including the pol
itical suspense best-seller CrossFire, The Parker Twins 
series for tweens, Betrayed and Veiled Freedom(Tyndale House).

Our Thoughts
This book is another must-read! I was so into this book 
that I was carrying it around while getting chores done 
and trying to finish it every chance I got. Ms. Windle 
is an awesome storyteller and it was like being in the 
actual story..

No Work Spanish Audiobooks- A MamaBuzz Review



Didn't get the chance to take Spanish in high school so 
I was excited to review No Work Spanish audiobooks. 
I love how you hear the sentences first in English then
in Spanish. Then at the end of the chapters, the chapt
ers are then repeated entirely in Spanish. I was thinking
I could do that, my kindergartner is enjoing it too. She
listens, then stops and rewinds to make sure she's said 
it correctly. It was hard at first but we're making great
progress on it. We received two audiobooks to review.
  •  Yaks March on Washington
  •  Poster Girl
Product Information
Yaks March on Washington is based on the true story
of an Idaho rancher who travels across the country with
six yaks in tow, accompanied by his dog. Chapter is
read by Jean-Marc Berne.

Poster Girl is the story of a messy, average kid, Paula
who wants to show up her goody two-shoes rival, Cynthia.
To pull off this feat, she's got to make a great science
poster, better than Cynthia's.

But of course there are problems. Like the fact that Paula
waited until the day before the poster was due to begin. Or
the fact that any autumn leaves that she tapes on the poster
are going to turn brown and crumple up. Paula keeps
scrambling as nothing goes quite like she expected.

But Can You Learn Spanish from No-Work Spanish Stories?

Yes! Here is how No-Work Spanish audiobooks work:
No-Work Spanish stories are performed by talented bili
ngual actors and actresses. You'll want to listen to find out
what happens next in the story.
As you hear each sentence first in English, then in Spanish,
your mind links the two, just as effortlessly as you learn
the words to a song you like.
Hearing the chapter repeated, entirely in Spanish, after
you have absorbed the Spanish vocabulary reinforces the
spanish and greatly improves your ability to listen and
comprehend an entire Spanish passage.
You don't need to know any Spanish to learn from
No-Work Spanish audiobooks. On the other hand, if you
already know some Spanish, you will learn that much
faster.

You can purchase both audiobooks for $21.95 on CD.


FTC Disclaimer: We received two (2) No-Work Spanish
audiobooks (CD) for free to review. Opinions stated here
are our own. This is a MamaBuzz Review.

Bossy Pants by Tina Fey Giveaway 2 Winners 5/31



Bossypants
by
Tina Fey

Category: Women Comedians/US/Biography
ISBN: 9780316056861
Hardcover: 288 pages
Language: English
Publisher: Reagan Arthur Books; First Edition


Before Liz Lemon, before "Weekend Update," before Sarah Palin,"
Tina Fey was just a young girl with a dream: a recurring stress dream
that she was being chased through a local airport by her middle-school
gym teacher. She also had a dream that one day she would be a
comedian on TV.

She has seen both these dreams come true.

At last, Tina Fey's story can be told. From her youthful days as a
vicious nerd to her tour of duty on Saturday Night Live; from her
passionately halfhearted pursuit of physical beauty to her life as a
mother eating things off the floor; from her one-sided college rom
ance to her nearly fatal honeymoon-from the beginning of this
paragraph to this final sentence.

Tina Fey reveals all, and proves what we've all suspected: you're
no one until someone calls you bossy.

(Includes Special, Never-Before-Solicited Opinions on Breast-
feeding, Princesses, Photoshop, the Electoral Process, and Italian
Rum Cake!)

Buy It: Bossypants is available at Amazon & these retailers.

Win It: Two (2) Luscious Deals readers will each win a copy.
Contest open to US & Canada. Ends 5/31 @ 11 pm PT.

Mandatory Entry: Tell us what you love about Tina Fey &
why you'd like to win a copy!

Our thoughts
Bossypants is a must read..I read this book straight
through while laughing and enjoying it from beginning
to end. Tina Fey talks about her childhood days, life
experiences..(love the honeymoon story) her SNL
days and 30 Rock (didn't know that until I read her
book!) now I want to go and check out the show.
