Sweepstakes The Forgotten Pharaoh Prize Pack

Purchase


Julie Gerber isn't thrilled to be pulled out of school her senior year to follow her parents halfway around the world to unearth a lost pyramid. However, when the cute British guy and the mysterious financier of their project both fight for her attention, things start to get interesting.

The pharaoh known as Djedefre was cursed for the murder of his eldest brother. The work of the archaeologists brings new secrets to light, ones that prove the fallen god-king wasn't the villain history had painted him to be. Can they prove his innocence?

As the team digs deeper into the mystery, members of the party vanish or end up dead. Someone is determined to keep the truth hidden at all costs, even 4,500 years later.

Difrax Pacifiers
baby pacifiers
The trendy, fun, innovative pacifier system designed for every stage of your baby/child's development.  One size does not fit all.  The classic style offers a round nipple that most resembles the breast, so it feels more like mommy while the orthodontic style stimulates the development of the palate and the muscles of the jaw and mouth.  

Each collection comes in newborn to 6 month, 6+ month and 18+ month styles that are specifically designed with different features and benefits unique to the needs of that baby's age .  The 18 month pacifier is even designed to wean baby off.  In addition, the unique butterfly shape, the result of years of research and development, allows for extra air circulation, reducing the risk of skin irritation and keeping the nose free. You'll love all the fun colors and patterns available too!

A New Day Came

Today is the 2 year anniversary since my mom heard that awful word Cancer. We wasn't even promised the next day, she was so sick. She said, ''I feel so blessed to be with the babies & you." We sit on the patio & had ice cream together yesterday. I'm so proud of my mom. We are so blessed each ordinary day just to have each other. 

A new day came and my mom is doing good, she has regular scans and blood work. She is on top of her health and we pray to never hear that ugly word again. My mom's focus is family and that is what keeps her strong. Thanks everyone for all the prayers and thoughts.
