A Window Redefined Book Tour & Giveaway



On a cold Valentine’s Day in Chicago, Amy White, a young widow who lost her husband to cancer, visits the cemetery and makes an unsettling discovery: a bouquet of fresh daffodils lying in front of her husband’s grave.

Curiosity grows into obsession as Amy searches for the stranger who left the flowers, while keeping her activities a secret from her live-in mother and seven-year-old son. The search leads to an unusual friendship that transforms her world and redefines her life.

"The warmth of an evolving friendship bound by mutual interests and a family's recovery from close-held grief makes the processes in A Widow Redefined revealing and involving. Any reader seeking a story of emotional growth from all protagonists will find this a story of quiet desperation, friendship, and moving on." D. Donovan, eBook Reviewer, Midwest Book Review

"A lovely story of deep love, friendship, grief, and the process of healing." Mary/Full Circle Book Club, Algonquin, IL "Not since Lisa See's Snow Flower and the Secret Fan have I read such a complex portrayal of friendship. A Widow Redefined will resonate with anyone who has ever lost a loved one and learned how to live again." Author Deborah Brown

"Inspiring! Destined to become a book club favorite." Alicia Robinson/reader review

My thoughts:

This book grabbed me from the beginning and kept me turning pages well into the night, even though it doesn't fit into any typical genre mold (other than maybe fiction or women's fiction). Early on you feel so much for Amy and her little family and the loss of her husband.  She starts out the book just making it from day to day, marking time in her own life and trying to give her son the best possible life.

Until she visits her husband's grave on Valentine's Day and sees that someone else has already been there and left flowers. She decides to stalk the grave (of course, it's a perfectly sane response!) to find out who left the flowers there and why.

What she discovers will change the way she remembers her husband, and may change her life forever...

A definite must-read, and it makes you want to reach out to everyone you love to make sure they know how you feel!

Epiphanie Bag Giveaway!

Epiphanie Giveaway
Welcome to the Epiphanie Bag Giveaway!

Co Hosted By: Balancing Mama
Sponsored By: Epiphanie

Maile Wilson, a professional photographer for over fifteen years, started Epiphanie four years ago. At the time, there were no cute camera bags for women. They didn't exist. She would end up leaving her gear at home or shoving it into her purse wrapped up in whatever was nearby, because she hated lugging around a bulky man-bag. So that is when she decided to create her own line. Epiphanie launched in 2009 with 10,000 people already on the waiting list. Since then the collection has expanded from three to twelve styles and over 60 different bags, and there are lots more to come!


Shellie over at Sweet Southern Lovin had the opportunity to work with Epiphanie. She had the chance to review the Olive Lyric product. Head on over here and check out her complete review. Jennifer over at Life of a Southern Mom also had the pleasure to work with Epiphanie. Head on over here and check out her review.

These bags are so amazing! They've been on my wish list for a long time, so I'm super jealous of the winners!
**Giveaway Details** May 5-May 19 at 11:59PM EST Open to Continental US residents only. Must be 18 years of age or older to participate. Prize: 2 winners will win any bag of choice as long as it is in stock. RV $165+ each.

**How to Enter** By entering you agree to abide by the Terms and Conditions listed on the Entry Form. All winning entries will be verified. Winner will receive an email from Michelle@sweetsouthernlovin.com and will have 48 hours to respond or a new winner will be chosen. Good Luck and thanks for entering.

50 Cures for Boredom & VISA Giveaway

Welcome to the 50 Cures For Boredom + $150 Visa Gift Card Giveaway, hosted by Thrifty Nifty Mommy and Viva Veltoro!

Summer is just around the corner and kids everywhere are looking forward to their summer break! Are YOU ready? Summer can be full of fun memories for families, but it can also be 3 months out of they year where mom and dad are consistently hearing, "I'm boooooored." 50 Cures for Boredom is a brand new book, written by Lorraine Hawley the author of ThemeTrip.com, that will put the fun back into your family time! When asked why she wrote this new book, here's what she had to say:
I have, for many years, created unique adventures for my own family. We have stepped outside the norm, explored our environment, and travelled, following a set theme from start to finish. These very special memories encouraged me to share my ideas with other families and help them step outside their own comfort zones, shy away the ideas of "normal" activities, and begin to explore what's possible. I found that many of the ideas became educational even when they were meant to just be fun and teens actually became engaged and put down their cellphones to participate. My goal when I wrote "50 Cures for Boredom" was to inspire others to enjoy their often limited quality time together with easy-to-follow theme ideas and create the kind of memories that last a lifetime.Let these 50 boredom busters be your go-to resource anytime, anywhere!
If you're tired of hearing, "I'm so bored!" or the dreaded, "what do you want to do today?" (Insert whiny voice here) then 50 Cures for Boredom is the book for you! It lets you choose a theme, follow a few simple steps, and start enjoying your day. Instant ideas for kids, date nights, homeschooling, and family adventures are at your fingertips any time you need a quick Cure for Boredom! Take an imaginative journey with your family. Create a treasure hunt through the wild in your own living room; star in a fashion show runway with stuffed animals cheering you on; and host your very own Superhero Convention. 50 Cures for Boredom is a must read for busy parents, grandparents and couples with limited time and even limited budgets. It offers ideas that initiate imagination and play – and they're not just limited to children and teens; boredom cures also offers unique, away-from-the-kids date nights and explores creative family road trips. Many of the ideas covered in this book can easily be adapted to fit a home schooling curriculum and inspire creative, educational play. 50 Cures for Boredom is available for purchase as an ebook ($4.99) or paperback ($9.99) from Amazon.com or Barnes & Noble. For a limited time (through May 16th) you can purchase the ebook from Amazon.com for just $1.99!

One lucky person is going to win a copy of 50 Cures For Boredom in paperback form PLUS a $150 Visa Gift Card!

Giveaway is open to residents of the US and Canada (excluding Quebec) who are 18 years of age or older. Giveaway ends at 11:59pm EDT May 19th, 2014. Enter using the Giveaway Tools entry form below. Good luck!
