Rocket-Bye Paperback Children's Book Review and Giveaway #MidSummersEve US Ends 6/30

I'm happy to participate in the Midsummer's Eve Giveaway Hop hosted by BookHounds. I will be giving away the children's book 'Rocket-Bye' written by Carole P. Roman and illustrated by Mateya Arkova. This is a great summer read for children.

When I received Can a Princess Be a Firefighter? by Carole P. Roman, I also received 'Rocket-Bye.' Because the author was kind enough to send me two books, I decided I would give the second one to one of my followers.
Rocket-Bye is a great book for children of all ages. It is a space themed book featuring two kids on a journey through space with their rocket ship. Together, they travel to the stars, orbit the moon, and rocket past planets. This also makes a lovely bedtime story. It is a rhyming picture book with beautiful illustrations by Mateya Arkova. If you are not a winner, you can still purchase Rocket-Bye on Amazon.
a Rafflecopter giveaway The giveaway is only open to the US. Only one entries per person per household. The giveaway will run from June 21st to June 30th. Winner will be notified by email and will have 48 hours to respond or another winner will be chosen. ​

MeasuPro Color Changing Digital Room Thermometer Review #measupro #ad

I received this product at a discount in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.

The MeasuPro Color Changing Digital Room Thermometer is my favorite room thermometer I've ever had. I love that it changes color based on the temperature. When it's cold, the color is blue and when it's hot, the color is red. Blue is 57.2°F or less, Green is 59°F-68°F, Orange is 69.8°F-78.8°F, and Red is 80.6°F or greater. I also love that it's rechargeable so there's no need to buy batteries. It comes with a micro USB charger and outlet plug. After I charged the thermometer for a while, I wanted to see how long it would last before it needs to be charged again and it lasted for well over a day.

The monitor displays the temperature on a easy to read LCD display.screen. The temperature ranges from 32°F to 122°F. The thermometer is colorful and has a nice design so it looks great in any room. It is perfect for a nursery or a child's room. It can also serve as a night light. I wanted this thermometer because I have two zebra finches so I want to make sure that it doesn't get too cold or too hot for them. It is also just nice to have a thermometer in the room especially when they are as cute as this thermometer. I like that the colors make it so I can just glance at the thermometer to see how warm it is.

The thermometer is very easy to use. To turn it on or off, you simply press the top. I don't know if it's 100% exact but it does seem to be fairly accurate comparing it to other thermometers. You can click here to purchase a Measupro Digital Thermometer on Amazon for just $19.99. MeasuPro offers a 2 year warranty on all their products and are dedicated to customer satisfaction so you won't be disappointed.

Oye Garlic Press Stainless Steel Epicurean Garlic Mincer Review + Recipe #garlicpress #ad

I received this product for free in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.

If you like to use fresh garlic for your recipes but don't want to have to chop the garlic, the Oye stainless steel garlic press press is what you need. I initially tested this garlic press when I made roasted garlic chicken thighs and the recipe required 2 garlic cloves. It's so simple to use. I was impressed to see that the garlic press pushed through all of the garlic. It's also simple to clean. The cup that holds the garlic is removable so you can easily wash it. That is one of my favorite aspects of this garlic press. I like that it is strong and has held up well so far. I also like that it is so inexpensive for such great quality. I believe this will last for a long time.

With this 6-inch garlic press, you can even crush unpeeled cloves so there's no need to peel the garlic. It crushes into small bits of garlic which are much smaller than you could ever get with a knife. The elegant stainless steel will not break or rust. This is easily the best garlic press I've ever had. To prepare for the roasted garlic chicken thighs, I mixed extra virgin olive oil and garlic together in a small bowl. This was for spreading on the chicken thighs. I'm happy with the Oye Stainless Steel Garlic Press because I love to use fresh garlic for recipes like this one and so this is perfect for me. You can click here to purchase the garlic press on Amazon for only $10.00.

If you want to make the same roasted garlic chicken thighs I did, preheat the oven to 450. You will need 2-4 chicken thighs, extra virgin olive oil, salt, pepper, and 2 garlic cloves finely chopped or pressed through a garlic press. Season the chicken thighs on both sides with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, combine the garlic and one tablespoon of olive oil. Spread the olive oil mixture on the chicken thighs. Roast in the oven until the chicken is cooked through. It usually takes 35 to 40 min to cook. The chicken turned out delicious and tender but if I were to make it again, I would add more seasoning. Don't forget to purchase the Oye Garlic Press on Amazon.

Can a Princess Be a Firefighter? Children's Book Review #CanAPrincess #ad

I received this product for free in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.

This sweet paperback children's book is called 'Can a Princess Be a Firefighter?' and is written by Carole P. Roman and illustrated by Mateya Arkova. It is about two little girls who ask their father whether or not they can have a certain profession and still be a princess. The book reflects on all the marvelous possibilities awaiting the two little girls. I love this book because it teaches girls that there are no limits and they can be anything they want to be when they grow up. I love that it shows girls in professions that are usually male dominated because it defies gender roles and what careers girls are expected to have.

All girls are princesses and all girls have it in them to achieve what they set their mind to. The book also teaches girls to never give up and to always believe in themselves. The illustrations are beautiful and lively, the illustrator did a great job. I gave this book as a gift to my niece and it immediately caught her attention. She asked me to read it to her. She is only 3 years old so she will get more use out of the book when she is a bit older. Click here to purchase this wonderful paperback children's book for only $11.99 or $2.99 on your Kindle. I genuinely recommend it as it's so inspiring for young girls.

All opinions are 100% my own.
