CHANGE YOUR FEED ADDRESS!

Hello all. Still having issues with the redirecting of my feed. So I have 300+ subscribers in Google Reader that it says I will lose unless you change the feed you are following for me. I'm sorry for this frustration. (I'm not even sure you'll see this message...) 

What you need to do is open your Google Reader and "Add a new feed" http://www.creativemadnessmama.com/feed/ 

When checking the old feed 

http://cherryblossommj.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default 

Google Reader shows 326 subscribers. 

When I check the new feed 

http://www.creativemadnessmama.com/feed/

Google Reader shows only 40 subscribers. 

I don't know how to combine these. I thought that I did everything right through Feedburner, but now it just sent out an email stating that the feed is dead. So it seems if people don't manually move over I'm out of luck. And about to lose everyone. :(

Kids celebrate launch of machine washable footwear from pediped®

 

Henderson, NV (April 2010) - Kids nationwide are celebrating the launch of pediped® footwear's Spring/Summer 2010 line of

machine washable footwear.  Thanks to this welcomed innovation, they now have the freedom to jump in any puddle that catches their attention, practice their running long jump until it's medal-worthy and slip-slide through the mud on the way home from school.   These machine washable shoes for kids 2-5 years of age will remain looking new as they are super-easy to clean.

 

Moms and kids (as well as their siblings and classmates) will be relieved to know that this pediped® Flex line extension features DRYZ® technology which resists odor development and helps prevent stinky feet!  DRYZ® insoles wick away moisture to help keep sweaty, little feet dry and comfortable. 

 

Designed with the active child in mind, this new machine washable collection features a lightweight, sporty construction.  The durable footwear, built to take a beating, includes toe caps, heel caps, breathable webbing and reinforcements throughout.  It also features pediped® footwear's unique Flex Fit System which enables the fit to be customized and/or the duration of wear to be extended up to two months as the child's feet grow.  All in all, this new machine washable line from pediped® footwear is a slam dunk!   Featured styles include Joelle/Joel and Adrian.  This machine washable pediped® line is available now at select retailers and atwww.pediped.com in EU sizes 20-29 (US sizes 5-12.5). At a recommended retail price of $48 USD/pair (MSRP), the shoes are an excellent value.

 

Kids should also be on the lookout for new Fall/Winter 2010 machine washable shoes from pediped® including Adrian in new color ways as well as new girls' styles.  All pediped® footwear containing DRYZ® technology will be machine washable as of Fall/Winter 2010.  The new Fall/Winter 2010 pediped® collection will be available at retail beginning July 2010.

***Special thanks to Vicky Lynch of Tyndale House Publishers, Inc. for sending me a review copy.***

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

Nonna Bannister was a young girl when World War II broke into her happy life. She went from an idyllic early-twentieth-century Russian childhood, full of love and comforts, to the life of a prisoner working in labor camps—though she was not a Jew—eventually bereft of her entire family. But she survived the war armed with the faith in God her grandmother taught her and a readiness to start a new life. She immigrated to America, married, and started a family, keeping her past secret from everyone. Though she had carried from Germany the scraps of a diary and various photographs and other memorabilia, she kept it all hidden and would only take it out, years later, to translate and expand her writings. After decades of marriage, Nonna finally shared her secret with her husband . . . and now he is sharing it with the world. Nonna died on August 15, 2004.

AND NOW...THE FIRST CHAPTER:

She Walks in Beauty by Siri Mitchell

She Walks in Beauty by Siri Mitchell

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

In the past, you may have read my opinions of Siri Mitchell and seen that I enjoy the writing, but that the story was imperceptibly depressing. I was shocked and appauled with the lack of soul in Constant Heart, A yet the historical elements were incredible and the writing so true. It was in reading Love's Pursuit that each page was not able to turn fast enough and I was truly stumped until the end but still taken aback and frustrated with the circumstances and sadness of the situation. Yet She Walks in Beauty is a delight, a breath of fresh air, and quite the heart titillating beat within a prose of words met by the ear as poetry.

I loved this novel. Each page was another treasure. Every time I had to leave the novel and come back to the story it was as if I were returning to a friend. In years passed I have always wanted to read a tale about the Golden Age in New York City and this novel was not one to disappoint. Yes it had the historical details and some harsh facts which I have come to know Siri's books for. Yet this one has a heart and a soul with tons of personality that laced through the pages and made the next chapter more than just a little something worth coming back for.

Clara Carter is a debutante, and this is her story. It is a suspense, it is a hard life and facts historical, it is a romance, and it is a tragedy. I highly recommend it.
