For Parents Only Book Review & Giveaway!
A Mom’s Review is taking part in the For Parents Only blog tour today.
Before I get into the summary I wanted to point out a quote from the book that really
resonated with me (and is something I think parents really need to “get”) is:
“I wish I could really know that, no matter what stupid thing I did, my parents would be there to hear me out and support me”.
Read below for a complete summary and a chance to win this informative parenting book for parents of pre-teens & teens.
Shaunti Feldhahn is known for unlocking the mysteries of relationships for men and women. Now she turns to a parent’s relationship with a child, particularly a child of the opposite sex. Drawing on the results of a nationwide survey of kids and teenagers, she explores questions such as:
* What do moms need to understand about the “tough and tender” boy who values respect over love?
* What do dads need to understand about their daughter’s need for affirmation?
* What are the six biggest pet peeves teens have about their parents?
Understanding the answers to these and other important questions can help parents make the holidays a time of celebration and unity, not strife and friction.
For Parents Only offers a unique look into a child’s mind and frees readers to communicate in healthier ways as they discover that understanding their kids may not be as complicated as they think.
GIVEAWAY: A Mom’s Review is giving away 2 copies of For Parents only to 2 very lucky readers. If you want to win, all you have to do is leave a comment on this post.

Senseo HD7810 Coffee Maker Review
In our home I am the only one who drinks coffee so instead of using a coffee maker I have been drinking instant coffee almost every morning for over 2 years. Yes, I know instant coffee is blech but I’ve kind of gotten used to it. 
Recently I discovered the Senseo Single Serve Coffeemaker
Once I cleaned the Senseo machine, put in a coffee pod (actually it looks like a tea bag/pad thingy) I had delicious rich coffee in under 1 minute with just a click of a button! Since I like mild coffee, I was able to get 2 small cups of coffee from 1 pod. However, this is not suggested in the instructions that come with the Senseo.
Overall, I’m very impressed with the Senseo Coffee Machine and the flavorful coffee pods. It works perfectly for me since I’m the only one in our home that drinks coffee. I think it would make a great gift for someone who lives alone or for the lone coffee drinker in the family like myself. The only issue I originally had was the cost of the coffee pods and the fact that you can only use the Senseo brand of coffee pods. I assumed I wouldn’t be able to find them in my area. However, yesterday at my local grocery store I found that the Senseo coffee pod bag of 18 pods were only $4.50 which gives me 18 days worth of yummy gourmet style coffee. Sure, it’s a little more expensive than coffee made in other coffee makers but it’s worth it for the convenience and taste.
If you are interested in possibly receiving your very own Senseo kit + a bag of coffee pods (valued at over $75) for free click here to take a survey to see if you qualify.
If you have already been fortunate enough to try out the Senseo tell me what you thought about it. How do you think it compares to regular coffee machines?
