Tidy Books Bookcase Giveaway & Review

We've been to the book fair at school selecting books to read. My sons love for us to read books together and our book collection is quite full. We have a small book stand full and my sons desk is full of books. They needed a book shelf that was easy for them to reach the books at their level with their favorite titles in it. Plus cool looking doesn't hurt at all. The Tidy Books Bookcase fits the needs of my little readers.

 I can tell you when it arrived I thought wow this is going to be to small and was wondering it some pieces were missing. After my workers arranged it I saw that the pieces fit together to make it bigger. We had the best builders on this project and seriously it was easy to assemble, the kids helped. Our favorite design is the Tidy Books Bookcase with natural wood finish and lowercase letters.

See below my boys arranging their Curious George flies a kite, Curious George an the puppies, Garfield Christmas, and the Twelve Dogs of Christmas in the Tidy Books Bookshelf. Just as soon as we got it together they couldn't wait. We are beyond satisfied with the appearance on the Tidy Books Bookcase, strength and quality.

The Tidy Books Bookshelf can hold a capacity of 85 book different shapes and sizes. It's compact design takes very little floor space and it can be attached securely to the wall.

SeaPak Holiday Party Food Review

We have always been a family who love sea food. We have also have always preferred SeaPak seafood over other brands. They simply taste the best and are usually more affordable. I know when I have SeaPak products in the freezer, I'm minutes away to having a nutritional meal for the family.

Did you know "Seafood is an excellent source of protein, provides omega-3 fatty acids necessary for brain development and vision, and supplies essential vitamins like B12 and D, along with important nutrients."

Because SeaPak products cook so fast they also make great holiday party food. It is hard to believe quality food can come out of a box. The Popcorn shrimp is a favorite of most guests and it is one of my children's favorite SeaPak products. We love them plain, on salads, and to make sandwiches and you can check out great recipes at SeaPak Inspired Seafood Recipes. SeaPak is more than shrimp they also have Clam Strips, Popcorn Fish, Herb Butter Salmon, Maryland Style Crab Cakes, Salmon Burgers to name a few. Wow your guests and family with the best packaged seafood.
