  Today, I'm thrilled to share my 5 star review for Elizabeth Maria Naranjo's second Sweet Dreams Mystery, Pralines and Creamed .     About Pralines and Creamed :  It’s the spooky season in Pinewood, Arizona, and when Genevieve Winterland isn’t creating killer new recipes for Sweet Dreams Ice Cream Parlour, she’s helping BFF Brandon Summers prepare for the party of the year. Brandon’s parents own Hidden Treasures Bookstore, where famed horror writer Jack Kelley is launching his latest novel on Halloween night. Brandon’s dad isn’t thrilled that the arrogant Kelley, who was once sweet on Mrs. Summers, has chosen their store for his big event. Still, there’s no denying the author draws a huge crowd. Which makes it hard to narrow down a suspect list when Kelley drops dead onstage—the victim of a shocking murder straight out of his own book. Fresh off Pinewood’s last cold case, Genevieve is happy to let the police handle this one. But when frosty Detective Christie zeroe...

 I was gifted several books this holiday season and two of them were by the lovely author, Sarah Morgan. I thoroughly enjoyed both books but wanted to take a moment to give " One More for Christmas " 5 stars. One More for Christmas is a quick relaxing read. I thoroughly enjoyed every page of this book. The plot was fun, there was just enough romance, the characters were believable and well-written, and Morgan brought the scenery to life. I can see why Morgan is a best selling author - her books are very enjoyable. I look forward to passing along One More for Christmas to my adult daughter as well as my mother in law; can be enjoyed by adult readers of all ages! May your paths be abundantly filled with lemons, sugar, sunshine, and books that make you smile and warm your heart! xoxox Crystal

It is my pleasure to review this Super Cute Cloth Diaper with a Breastfeeding Support pattern! (#iZiv) This diaper was purchased via Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B015W6ZA3I?m=A36WOE109C9BTK&ref_=v_sp_detail_page I received the diaper and a very thin insert - they arrived and the packaging was attractive. I washed the diaper and the insert right away and then took the photos you see below. The diaper is attractive, but is also very well made with nice leg gussets and good elastic. This is a one size diaper that can be used from birth to potty training by adjusting the snaps to change the rise. The diaper itself is fabulous though the insert is very thin and not really absorbent. I swapped out the insert right away and used the diaper with one of my charcoal bamboo inserts. this is the insert that comes with the diaper another pic to show the insert included with the diaper this is the liner I used I'm very happy with the look, the fit, and the function...
