Ozeri Pans

I got the chance to try out some Ozeri Stone Earth Pans that are 100 Percent PFOA-Free with Stone-Derived Non-Stick Coating. Let me tell you, these pans are AMAZING.


I have both the 5 Liter (5.3 Quart) all-in-one sauce pan AND the 12" frying pan.

These pans are heavy duty and amazingly non-stick. They wipe up super easily and dry extremely fast.


The sauce pan is HUGE. It has handles on both sides for ease of carrying. It even has a vented lid. If you need to save space and stack your pans in your cabinets, there's a nice felt padding that comes with the pans, so prevent them scratching.


Another great feature about these pans are that they heat foods evenly. I am definitely impressed. <3


Both pans have the same great durability, thickness and non-stick coating.

You can buy them on Amazon, Sears or Walmart websites.

CHICKEN!

Forget everything I've ever said about Carol being the stupid Chicken of the bunch. Lazy officially takes her place.

Over the last week, the canopy over the pin keeps snapping and ripping apart. This has officially made Lazy terrified of the pin. It's dark and I always put the girls up at night to keep predators away from my girls.
Round 1:. She ru
ns around the yard screaming at the top of her lungs when I called the other girls into the pin. Eventually she makes Stevie panic and then Stevie runs out of the pin and starts screaming with Lazy. I con Stevie BACK into the pin with snacks.

Round 2-5: Lazy jumps ONTO the canopy over the top of the coop, hoping she's going to magically fall into the coop? Hell if I know. I con her down with snacks but that's short lived. Especially after she realizes she's only getting snacks if she goes INTO the pin. Shaking the treat bag only makes her come down off the top off the pin for a few seconds.

Round 6: the dumb bird scales up the side of the pin and tries to go Under the canopy... getting her head and a wing stuck into the canopy, making me cut open a few zip ties to free her. At that time she finally gave in and let me carry her to the door, where she slowly walked in as if the pin were going to eat her. At this point, if the pin doesn't eat her, I might. Damn free loading, overly dramatic chicken.

Being Mother Hen

I'm honestly not sure why, but somewhere along the way my son decided that we needed chickens.  I mean, back in the day that was feasible, because the kid would seriously eat about two dozen eggs a week.  Now that he's 8, we have such a busy and hectic lifestyle that we barely ever eat at home PERIOD.  But whatever.

Back in the Spring, we made a trip to the local Tractor Supply, to get his friend a birthday present.  While we were there, we hear the distant "peep, peep, peep" in the background.  It was inevitable.  Monster heard the peeps and we HAD to run back to look at the chicks.  They were seriously adorable.  At that time, they had chicks, ducks and turkeys and a few other types of fowl.  But seriously, those baby chicks.  They had to come home with us.  I told him we couldn't get them right that moment, but we could go back over the weekend and get a few.  -The sign said we had to take a minimum of six.  EEK!

We had kind of been talking with my Mom about going in half on some chicks and some supplies, even though all of us were quite clueless on what we were even going to do with the chickens.  Sure, we want the eggs, but they need food and shelter and ....  ugh.

So the weekend came and of course Monster remembered... we HAD to get chicks.  So I called my Mom and asked her if she wanted to go on a little road trip to Tractor Supply.  At that moment, we picked out six precious chicks and grabbed some basic supplies which I barely knew about and went on our way.

For a brooder we snagged a large tote and a heat bulb and a clip on lamp to hang over the side of the tote.  We got some shallow bowls and of course food.. and these six baby, FEMALE chicks. -According to the guy at Tractor Supply, the chicks were only 5 days old at that time.  They're all Rhode Island Reds.

I've always named animals after their visual appearances and/or characteristic traits.  So after a few days of studying, we came up with this:

Space: she was the darkest colored chick and sort of walked around seemingly clueless about her surroundings.

Carol:  Have you ever seen Deuce Bigelow?  Remember the narcoleptic lady?  Yeah.  Her.  Well, Carol has always been a bit special.  She would literally fall asleep where she stood, which was usually in the water bowl.  I just don't think the elevator ever reached the top floor with that one.

Carol Asleep in her Food Bowl
Starling:  Starling was a frail little Runt.  Not sure why, but that's what my Mom Named her.

Lazy:  Lazy just sort of never did anything. Honestly, I thought she might croak and never become anything.  She always slept and that was it.

Stevie Boo Alfreda The Wonder Chick(HEN): Well, Stevie Boo Alfred the Wonder Chicken was my chicken that I had back in school.  My parents sort of never fed my chicken and let it die when I went off to camp.  So, in an ODE to Stevie the Chicken, I named my new, favorite Bird after him.  Stevie is seriously an awesome hen now.  By far my favorite.

And last, but not least,

SHIT HEAD: see, whenever I'd leave the chicks for work in the morning, I always checked on them to make sure they were good.  By the time I got home, all the other chicks had poop on their heads... except for one.  So she earned the name "SHIT HEAD".


Day after day of taking care of the chicks and watching them grow, you quickly become attached.  They're definitely more than just fowl that are going to give you fresh "butt nuggets" daily.  They become pets and a part of the family.
The Girls are already Selfie Princesses

As the girls got bigger, we started to wonder if Space was actually a "Space Cock" or Stevie was actually a STEVE.  It was so hard to tell.  So we had to just keep waiting.

It got to a point where I would come home and find poop all over the room they were in. The girls were quickly growing out of their brooder.  I was going to have to put them outside soon.

I ordered some coops off of Amazon.  They were honestly sub-par, quite crappy coops, but they worked I guess.  The boyfriend bought a dog kennel about 10'x10' and built it up around the coops and started leaving the girls outside.  I can't remember the time frame, but it seems like fairly soon after we started leaving the girls outside, our little runt Starling ended up passing away.  Still not officially certain what happened to her, but I can reassure you that it was definitely gruesome and a larger animal must have gotten her through the fence.  RIP Poor little starling bird.


The Awkward & Ugly Pullet Stage
So now the girls have been in their coops for a few week and everything is going great....but No, it really isn't.  I come home one day and I find a chicken on my back deck.  Ugh.  The chickens are ALREADY escaping the pin.  What now?  After about a week or two of this, the boyfriend and I go off to the store to buy a tarp and some pieces to build a roof over the pin.  We had decided that we were going to wait until the next evening to put the "roof" on, because it was going to be getting dark when we got home... but as soon as we got home, the plans had to instantly change. NOPE, roof goes up TONIGHT.  We had chickens all over the yard.  Lazy is running around the deck, Shit Head is wandering aimlessly and Carol is in a tree.  My girls Stevie and Space were inside the pin, being good little birds.  So, as it started to get dark and the rain started to slowly trickle down, we devised a roof to keep the girls inside of their enclosure and free from harms way.

______________________

So some time has passed, and the girls still make me laugh daily.  A few of them have stayed true to their names even.  They're officially 27 weeks old today.  Rhode Island Reds generally start laying eggs at around 24 weeks old.  Daily, we only have 3 eggs at the most, which means it's likely that 2 girls are not laying eggs.

Stevie is my Cuddly hen.  If I'm sitting outside, she will hop up in my lap and go for a little nap.  The boyfriend discovered that Stevie girl is officially an egg layer.  We heard some ungodly sounds coming from the coops, while the girls should have been roaming the yard.  He snuck up onto the coop and lifted up the door to see her in there having a hard time with her egg.  Stevie is seriously the cutest.  She has an extra large, super floppy comb on her had.  It doesn't stand upright and sort of falls all over the place. Stevie also has a super cute, extra fluffy chicken butt that makes me laugh.

Space was my first Mother Hen.  She's also the head of the Pecking Order.  She's bossy to the other girls but she's a good Hen.  She just lays her eggs and does her own thing and keeps the other girls in line.  I caught Space laying eggs a few weeks before the other girls even started laying eggs.  The only downfall about Space is that she's VERY vocal.  She runs around yelling for no reason, a LOT.  Even when she's running the yard freely, she yells.  She also jumps and does tricks for snacks.

Space
Shit Head.... Oh Shit Head.  She's by far the truest to her name.  I had stuff to do, so being the overprotective Mother, I had to round the girls up and put them in the pin.  I hate leaving them out if I'm going to be gone a few hours.  I'd hate to come back and have a dead chicken and be clueless as to what happened to her.  It would probably eat me up inside. -So, I went through and rounded up all the girls and where is Shit Head?  Seriously.  The bird is NOWHERE!  I get in the car and drive around the block a few times.  Calling "Shit Head, Come here Shit Head.  Where are you girl?" as I shake the treat bag (the girls LOVE their treats) and NOTHING.  Finally, when I get back home, I look up on the roof and hear a panicked chicken.  Shit Head is on the roof of the house.  WTF!  If I had to guess, I'd say she scaled up the lilac bush and hopped onto the roof from there.  UGH!  Crazy Bird.  Luckily for me, she half flew down onto the deck and quickly went back inside the pin with the other girls.  -Also, at one point, Shit Head felt it was necessary to build a nest out in the yard and lay her egg there.  She's a brat bird, but luckily she's only done that once.

Lazy is honestly just a bitch.  I'm pretty sure she's also a free loader.  Lazy loves to try and eat my toes if I'm wearing sandals.  -Shit Head does this too, but not as bad as Lazy.  Lazy also runs up behind people and bites their legs.  -So wear jeans.  I jokingly put a sign on the Pin that says "BEWARE OF ATTACK CHICKEN" when the girls were first put outside, but I definitely NEED that sign now.  Lazy has really pretty, dark markings on her.  She's pretty, but she's just MEAN.  -Last week a Hawk tried to snatch up Lazy, but failed.  I'm a bit glad that my girl is a chubby one.

Shit Head & Carol
And Lastly.. Carol.  Carol is definitely low bird on the Pecking Order Pole.  She has a very small, almost non-existent crown.  She sort of hangs with the flock, but you can usually spot her wandering off by herself.  I always say she's sort of stupid, but honestly, she's probably got it all figure out.  She's realized that if she isn't with everyone else, if she catches a tasty cricket to eat, she gets to eat it for herself and not have to fight over it for the other girls.  At the same time, she also misses out on a lot of treats because she is too busy wandering around and doesn't always "COME" with the other girls.  By the time she gets back to the coop, the other four pigs have gobbled up all the goods.  I'm pretty certain Carol has yet to lay an egg and she probably never will.  She's a bit "SPECIAL", but I love her nonetheless.

________________

I'm sure I'll probably be telling more stories about the girls, but I wanted to at least introduce them.  They're the best entertainment I have lately.





*You might notice in some of the pictures that the girls have colored Leg bands on.  I'm around the Girls daily, so I can tell them apart, but people always ask "Which one am I talking to/Holding?".  I ordered these handy little leg bands off of Amazon and they've been SUPER handy.  It's a pack of 30 leg bands, 10 different colors with 3 of each color. Check them out here.

Space: Black Leg Band
Shit Head: Brown
Stevie: Yellowish Orange
Carol: Purple
Lazy: White
Starling: Pink






Ham Made Lip Balms

I guess I didn't realize it was so long ago, but my amazing best friend taught me how to make lip balms back in March. Our first lip balm batch "together" was our LIP CRAP. At that time, we decided on a mint chocolate lip balm, which both of us have listed in our Etsy shops.

Since then, I've sort of ventured out on my own and started making my own lip balms. Honestly, they're extremely easy to make and you really don't need a LOT of "STUFF" to make your own lip balms. A small batch of about 1.5 ounces can make about 12-14 lip balms, depending on the types of tubes you're using and the ingredients at hand.


I've currently got the following lip balms for sale in my shop:

Sweet Orange Vanilla Bean
Cool Mint Vanilla Bean
French Vanilla Coffee Bean 
Lip Crap



A basic lip balm consists of the following:

Bees Wax (other waxes, like Soy wax, are also acceptable).
Shea Butter (semi solid)
Cocoa Butter (soft solid)
and Olive Oil
Essential Oil or Flavoring Agent- to "taste"

Other items needed:
Sauce Pan
Glass Bowl
Pipette
Lip Balm Tubes
Spoon

As a general rule of thumb, it's two parts wax, to one part shea butter, one part cocoa butter, one part oil.  -Seriously, you can mix and match these ingredients to get the best mixture of your liking.  I typically go with 1 ounce wax, .5 oz of each of the other ingredients.  This will get you about 24 tubes of lip balm.  Awesome, right?

Instead of Cocoa butter, you can use Coconut Oil.  Instead of Olive oil you can use Apricot Kernel Oil, Jojoba Oil, Argan, Grapeseed, Sunflower, the possibilities are seriously ENDLESS.

But we will just go ahead and walk you through the process with the ingredients above.

To start, place your Beeswax into a glass bowl, and put the bowl inside of a pan.  Place a few inches of water into the pan, but just enough to go about halfway up the side of the glass bowl.  Place the pan on the stove and heat it to about a low/medium setting.  DO NOT LET THE WATER BOIL. Let your beeswax melt all the way; stir occasionally to ensure it's melting evenly and all the way through.

Once the beeswax melts, add the Shea butter and allow it to melt.  Then add the cocoa butter and let it melt.  Once these have melted, add the oil.  Mix thoroughly.  Mix in about 1 ml of essential oil, or 10 drops, to achieve a flavor/scent of your liking.  Give it a final stir. Use Pipettes or a dropped to fill the lip balm tubes.  VIOLA!  You're done.  Let the lip balms cool.  If you have extra lip balm in the bowl, you can always store it in a glass mason jar with a lid and melt it down later to pour into tubes, once you get more tubes.  I generally fill about 20 tubes of lip balm to start and let them fully cool off before I fill the remaining few tubes.  The lip balms sort of melt down and tend to cave in a bit, leaving holes that need filled.  It isn't always pretty, so I keep a bit of the mixture in the glass bowl to melt down later and top off the tubes.

If you want to get super crafty, you can make infused oil blends for your lip balms.  Calendulla flowers or lavender or rosemary work great for infused oils.  You'd use these instead of the essential oil and the Olive oil. You can actually use the olive oil as the oil that you're infusing.  The finished lip balm will give a subtle hint of the items you infused.  -Infusing generally takes a few weeks, but you can cheat and use a crockpot to speed up the time.




I'm currently running a promotional give-away on my Facebook page.  Scroll through the Etsy page and comment on Facebook about which item is your favorite.  A winner will randomly be selected soon.

There Was Probably Booze Involved

I can't decide if I want to post this here, or over on my "Busy Mom" Blog.  Perhaps I'll just post this in both places and call it a day.

I've always been one for making crafts and finding ways to keep myself busy.  I've never really been big into television and movies. I've always heard that left handed people are more crafty and I am DEFINITELY a left handed person.  As it turns out, my best friend is ALSO a leftie and she's rather crafty herself.  I've learned a lot from her and could never repay for her the knowledge she's given me.  Seriously, I love that woman and she can be the man around my house whenever she wants to be.

So as you know by now, I did Amazon product reviews for a while.  I guess I still sort of do, just NOT on the Amazon platform.  I had a tub of Shea butter and asked her "What can we do with this?  I know it goes into a lot of health and beauty products, but I really don't know what to do with it, and I have to review it like NOW."

With that, she suggested I bring my Shea Butter over and we could work on some lip balms. -Cool.  I'd love to know how to make my own lip balms.  So off to her house I went.

Of course we broke open a bottle or two... or maybe even three?.... of wine.  We had a few glasses and THEN decided that we were going to make lip balms.... and beard oils, for both Men and Women.  There's no way this could end up tragic, right?  Wine and beauty products sounds like a perfect mix to me.

So start with the lip balms.  She looks at me and is like... "Well, I thought I had bees wax, but all  really have is this clump of bees wax that still has bee parts in it.  I guess we can melt it down and strain it out."  So that's what we did.  Next up, we add the Shea butter.  Well, the Shea butter was about as solid as the bees wax.. but whatever.  So next up we add our carrier oils and decide that PEPPERMINT is the flavor of choice... at that moment, one of use decided "Can't we just make it Mint Chocolate?".  So we throw in some cocoa powder.

At this point, we are both giggly drunk. Everything needs a name, so we start throwing out ideas.  I know that "CHAPSTICK" is a name brand and that "LIP BALM" is the generic term for well... Lip Balms, but I was drunk.  So I kept calling it "LIP CRAP".  It's just "LIP CRAP.  It's brown.  It goes on your lips.  It's crap in a tin. It's lip crap." So our homemade lip balm became "LIP CRAP".  From there, we go to the label maker and create a cute little label with a guy sitting on the toilet. It was only appropriate.  We come up with our ingredient lists and VIOLA!  We are officially done with Lip Crap.  However, we totally spelled a word wrong on the label, but we didn't realize it until a few days later.

So next up is the beard oil.

Let's cash in on the Hipster world, because all "MEN" who aren't men at all, feel like they need a Hipster beard.  See, back in the day, beards were a sexy thing.  Back when men were men.  But today's men... Don't even get me started.  It's like they just want those beards so they can give off the persona of being a real man.  -Almost like Pinocchio wanting to be a real boy.- So the grow the beards.  Ugh.  Disgusting.

So we get to work on the beard oils.  We throw together a blend that's outdoorsy but a little out there.  And we call it "Hitchhiker".  I'm honestly not sure where we came up with that idea, but it works.  And out of nowhere, Kirm says "I feel like we need a female version... you know, for the Lady Beards.  We can call it Beave Oil".  So of course... we HAVE to make a version of beard oils for the... lady beards.


 I tell her that Peppermint, Lemon, and Lavender is a nice scent and it's also good as a decongestant.  We can blend up some of that and call it "SNOT TWAT".  You know, because while your partner is down there, they can breathe clearly.  Yeah, it's so wrong on a million levels.

The whole time, we are seriously giggling like little girls.  The bad part about the whole thing is that while we are making these Lady & Gentleman beard oils, she had a pair of Hipster roommates that were right upstairs.  The guy had a full man beard and the female didn't shave her legs or armpits, so you KNOW she had a full lady beard going on as well.  I kept going "just go upstairs and ask the roommates to try the beard oils".  And with that, the female roommate comes into the craft room and is like "What's so funny? What are you girls up to?"  So we showed her that we had come up with some beard oils and we were just trying to find the appropriate images for our labels.  It seemed harmless to her, but we were drunk.  So we let her think we just giggly from the wine.


After a few hours of flipping through label images, we chose a Rooster (COCK) as the symbol for the Hitchhiker and a Cat for the Lady Beard Oil.  And Like that, our beard oil brands were born. We found a recipient for our male beard oil, who eventually gave the feedback that our scents were too strong and we needed to tone it down a notch.  We shipped the lady beard oil to my Battle Buddy in Texas and she said her and her "friends" all loved it.  I'm honestly not sure I want to know, but whatever floats their boats.

Since then, I've basically taken over the branding for beard oils.  I've only come up with a second scent of "Lumberjack", which is basically sandalwood, Vetiver and Juniper berry.  I haven't had too much time to put extra through and effort into making additional scents, until I can get the original two scents selling off of my shelves.

Sunnest Bluetooth 4.1 Receiver

Sunnest Bluetooth 4.1 Receiver, Hands-Free Car Kit, Portable/Mini Wireless Stereo Audio Adapter with Built-in Microphone for Home Audio Music Streaming Sound System



I'm sitting here at my desk totally feeling like a jerk right now.  At the end of September, I was contacted by a representative of Sunnest, asking me to review a Bluetooth Receiver.  The receiver has been in my car and I use it CONSTANTLY; but somehow I managed to COMPLETELY space writing the review on it.  I guess the whole Amazon no review thing just overwhelmed me and I moved on to the next phase of life.  

I am extremely sorry, Sunnest!!

So let me tell you a little bit about this tiny little creature.  Coming in at 2" x 1" x .5" this little receiver packs a mighty punch.  As long as you have a device with an auxiliary output, you can easily turn it into a Bluetooth ready device, with this receiver.  It takes the device about 1.5 hours to fully charge and can play for up to about 10 hours continually, before you need to charge it again.  This ALMOST gets me all the way to Tennessee to visit my friend and back home again, before I have to charge it.  

Pairing is fairly easy.  Just hold the power/play button down for a few seconds and it will turn on.  Go to your phone or tablet and select BT12 from the list of Bluetooth devices.  You're good to go.  In the future, whenever you have both devices on, it will automatically pair, so you don't have to set it up.  You CAN pair two devices at once and the directions are in the user manual.  -I don't necessarily uset his feature that often though.  Once the receiver is paired with your phone, plug it into your auxiliary output.  Depending on where I am at, I either plug it into my car or my work computer.  

See, I'm not allowed to "stream music" from the computer at work, so I go about it like this.  I use my phone and my personal data to stream music, then I just play it through the computer with my Sunnest Bluetooth receiver.  It's a perfect device.  

The connection quality is perfect.  I don't have issues with it dropping or losing signal.  The sound quality is really good.  The devices stay paired up to 33 feet.  So you can leave the receiver plugged into your car, go inside of a gas station and come back out and it will all stay connected and keep playing into the car.  -If you're road tripping or have kids or a husband in the car, they can keep listening to the music while you get your business done.  

You can even answer phone calls, if you choose to.  The phone rings and you can simply answer it and talk into the air.  The receiver will deliver a clear sound to the person on the other end.  

This does come with user manual, the Bluetooth receiver, Micro USB Charging cable, the 3.5 mm Male to Male adapter and a 3.5 mm Male to Male cable.  -Everything you need to use the receiver.  I'd honestly be lost without this baby, especially when I'm stuck in the car for hours on end.  It's small and compact and easily fit into your pocket or purse, so you can take it with you, everywhere you go.  

I will state that a few months back, I received a different Bluetooth receiver from a different company.  That one actually made the battery in my car short out.  It was a scary experience.  I have NOT had any funky or weird issues with this one.  It works perfectly, EVERY SINGLE TIME!

I was offered this Bluetooth receiver complimentary.  To check this out on Amazon, click the subject line at the top of the page.  You really will NOT regret it.

Vibrator & Rechargeable Powerful Dildo From Odeco-WARNING ADULT CONTENT!

I'm not saying I know everything there is to know about vibrators and dildos, but if you ask me, this one is just the run of the mill, rechargeable vibrator.  It's a basic, sleek and slender vibrator that you can purchase in a few colors.  I own a teal one and purple one.

The toy measures about 7.9" long; it is about 1.22" wide.  The tip is slightly curve and little massaging nubs on it.  The angle tip is about 1.4" long.

The vibrator is made of waterproof silicone.  As it states in the description, is is rechargeable with a lithium-ion battery.  It takes the toy about 2 hours to charge and can last up to 2.5 hours of uninterrupted use.  To turn the toy on or off, you have to hold the power button down for a few seconds.  This has seven various speed/pulse/vibration settings.  To rotate through the settings, simply tap the power button once, for each mode.  There is a color changing LED light on this toy and each pulse or vibration setting is associated with a different color.

I'm honestly not overly impressed with it, but it works great for a bit of foreplay action.  It is thin enough that it's not uncomfortable to insert.  It's just mostly underwhelming for me. I'd consider this a toy more for beginners or for couples who are looking to spruce up the bedroom a bit.

I did receive this product as a complimentary sample.  To check it on Amazon, click here: Vibrator & Rechargeable Powerful Dildo.


Awkward Family Photos-The Coloring Book

By now, everyone has been online or seen those random books of awkward family photos.  Those random images of families in their underwear or standing in front of a tree with weapons; the photos where people are holding up their beloved pets, in professional photo shoots, or anything just down right random and weird.

Well, the creators of Awkward Family Photos have joined the world of ADULT COLORING BOOKS.   Let me tell you, the front cover of this coloring book sets the entire theme straight from the word GO.  There's a family in matching attire of jeans, socks, and red flannel shirts with a mother, father, and child getting their family portrait taken.  However, right in the middle of the page, where the child stands you can visibly see where the kid has peed on itself (it's also hard to tell if the kid should be a boy or girl).

According to the front page of the book, these images have been inspired by REAL awkward family photos.  That alone is enough to make this entire book just down right creepy and hilarious.  As you flip through the book, you see images of bad fashion eras in general.  Big 80's hair, mullets. Afro hair and more.  There's weird images of wrongly placed pets, disturbing looking hobby photos, and just bad taste photos in general.  You can look through the book and honestly think "WHAT THE HECK were they thinking when they took this photo?"  A few of them really had me shaking my head.

The worst part about the book is that not all of the images translate very well into black and white.  -Like the cover photo.  if the cover photo weren't in color, it might have been a bit difficult to realize that the kid had peed on itself, once you saw the black and photo inside the book.  There are a few others where it gets lost in translation as well, like the "Jazz Hands" page.  There's a weird, almost shadow looking part on the girl's leg.  Period?  I am not sure.  I almost want to do a Google Search to see if I can find the original image.

Nonetheless, the book is chalked full of definite awkward family photos.  Each page has the main image that you can color and then very finely designed intricate detailed borders, for those of you who love the finer detailed books.  There's definitely something for everyone in this book.








You can buy your copy of the book here: Awkward Family Photos. This is definitely a book you will NOT want to miss, especially if you love the Awkward Family photos.  -I did receive a complimentary copy of this book, in exchange for my review.
