My HIkes Giveaway! 7/16

What is a My Hikes? It is a super fun, super cute clip that you can use as a temporary hem on your child's pants. I always dreaded putting a hem in pants I knew my children would grow into and that is why the My Hikes are so cool with a simple cuff and clip they are off and ready to go.

These are super cute and I think I would have loved them when I was a kid! So many kids don't quite fit in their pants just right.  Have you noticed your kids jeans hanging under their feet?  I bet you have.  This little clip will fix that  for you!!

Could it Kill Your Child!?

You may or may have not heard about this, but it is all over the news today!  Washington Poison Control keeps getting calls bout children ingesting Tide PODS.  It hadn't occurred to me what could happen having these in your home!  


Yes, these are a new product and I know many people have been trying them out.  If you look at the picture above maybe you will see what I see.  The Tide PODS container looks like a candy jar or a cookie jar something so many children are used to.  Not only that, but look at the individual Tide PODS.

Tell me what you think these look like?  Maybe to you they don't look like anything to you, but I bet to a child they look like a colorful snack or toy.  We all know that little children especially love putting things in their mouth.  This could be VERY bad!  Why?  Because the membrane on these Tide PODS is VERY soluble.  I watched when I used it in my wash with the free trial I received and it only took moments for it to be dissolved.


These PODS can be VERY toxic to children since they aren't like normal detergents.  These PODS can be 2x to 4x as strong of a concentrate as normal laundry detergent is which is how they make the packages so small n comparison to how much you pour in for powdered or liquid detergents.


P&G has announced that they WILL be creating a new lid for the Tide PODS that will have an additional latch on it to help aid in preventing children from being able to get into the containers.  I think that it is great that they are doing this and are saying that it will be out in the next couple of weeks.


However, I also want to urge that it isn't completely P&G's problem.  Put these products up high and away from children so that they are not tempted to try to play or eat these products!  I know you wouldn't let your kid play with pesticides or drain cleaner so why give them to chance to play with these?


Be safe and keep your kids safe.  Now that I have said my two cents, What do you think about all of this?

Elemental Book Blast! $100 Amazon GC!

Just because Ella can burn someone to the ground with her mind doesn't mean she should. 


But she wants to. 


For ten years—ever since she was a small child—Ella has been held prisoner on an interstellar starship. Now that she has escaped, she needs answers. 


Who is she? Why was she taken? And who is the boy with the beautiful green eyes who haunts her memories? 


Is Ella the prophesied Destructor… or will she be the one who's destroyed?  


My Opinion 
I am really excited to read this book.  I haven't gotten my hands on it, but from all the hype I have been hearing it is just the book for me.  I love sci-fi, paranormal, and fantasy books.  Some of my favorites have been Hitch-hikers Guide to the Galaxy, Harry Potter, and Vampire Diaries as well as some adult paranormal book series.  I have also enjoyed the TV shows like Charmed, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Angel.

PRAISE FOR ELEMENTAL

"Emily White's debut novel is a bestseller waiting to happen...I immediately fell in love with Ella." Author Michelle Pickett

"Who would have thought that mixing faeries and space opera would turn out to be so awesome? ... If you’re a sci-fi fan, you really can’t miss this debut!" Birth of a New Witch, book blogger

"Emily has done a fantastic job describing the worlds and this book has lots of action in it...keep your eye out for the book! Happy Reading! Go on a wonderful adventure to a new world where things are not always as they seem!" Tee loves Kyle Jacobson, goodreads review

"I can honestly say I've never read anything quite like Elemental. My hat is off to Ms. White, and anyone else who can take a novel set squarely in the sci-fi genre, throw in fairies and a few obscure King Arthur references, and make it all work." Keshia Swaim at The Book Addict

"I'm calling it right now. Elemental is the beginning of the next big YA series...I can safely say that I could give a copy of Elemental to my guy friends without fear of getting punched in the nose." Author Daniel Cohen

About the Author:


Emily White lives in NY, wedged between two of the Great Lakes and a few feet of snow and ice. She's spent most of her life running away from the cold, and even spent a year in Iraq, but now contents herself with writing her characters into warm, exotic places in faraway galaxies. When not tapping away at her computer keys, she can be found reading, reading, and reading some more. And when she's not doing that, she's usually playing video games with her husband, peek-a-boo with her kids, or walking through her garden, wondering why the bugs insist on eating all her vegetables.
