Review of: Mackenzie Goes Adventuring Board Game and Activity Kit by Post Mortem Publications



We loved the book Mackenzie Goes Adventuring and thought it was great for all children.  Now, Post Mortem Publications has released the Mackenzie Goes Adventuring Board Game and Activity Kit and it is great.

Every year about this time, children begin to ask their parents for that one special game.  This year, this activity kit will be among those most asked for.

The game is easy to play.  Adults will love spending time with their kids.  It also plays fairly quickly, so those kids who have a very short attention span will get to finish the game.

The Mackenzie Goes Adventuring Board Game and Activity Kit also comes with a puzzle and coloring book.  This will give children hours of fun. All the parts are well-made and will stand up to most children. You will want to add this activity kit to your family home evening.



We were sent a complimentary copy of this activity kit.  We are under no obligation to write any review, positive or negative.

Book Review:Seriously Good Freezer Meals: 150 Easy Recipes to Save Your Time, Money and Sanity by Karrie Truman ISBN:978-0-7788-0591-5




We at McClendon Villa constantly looking for ways to save time and money in the kitchen.  We think Seriously Good Freezer Meals is a great way to do both.



In this book, you will find a lot of helpful information.  The author gives readers a how-to-do-it guide in the front of the book and then 150 recipes with instructions for how to multiply each recipe.  That way, if you only want to make one meal, you can.

We are provided with step-by-step instructions on preparing, cooking, freezing, and heating to serve each recipe.

Readers are also given instructions of what to do if they want to make the meal to serve now as opposed to freezing it for later.

Five Star Review



We give Seriously Good Freezer Meals all five stars.  The pictures alone are worth all five stars. This should be a part of your How to Manage Your Monkey budget meal planning.

Guest Post: Santa Warns Kids to Start Doing Chores

The following is a guest post.  This post does not necessarily reflect the views of Suzanne and David E. McClendon, Sr. or Manian Debil Productions.

Santa Warns Kids to Start Doing Chores

Tis the season for helping out at home and sharing with people in need

Getting kids to clean their rooms and do other chores around the house is usually a constant battle for parents. But, very soon kids will be hard at work writing letters and making lists of the toys and games they hope to receive for Christmas creating the perfect opportunity for parents to re-motivate their kids. 

Santa and his elves will be watching to make sure those chores are getting done and that valuable lessons are being learned as well. For parents with a busy holiday schedule, follow these simple tips to get kids to help more around the house and keep them motivated year-round because Santa is always watching.

Make Like an Elf – It might be hard for kids to understand the concept of a job so put it in holiday terms. Santa and the elves are working hard to make the toys and games, so kids need to work hard to earn them. Treat their chores as their first job and an opportunity to start teaching them about spending, saving, donating and investing.




Divide Up Hosting Housework – Assign your children tasks that match their ages and skill sets to get the house ready for holiday guests. Make sure to give them a deadline to help teach time management and keep them focused. Pay them for the work they do and suggest they use the money to pay for small gifts for a family gift exchange.

Shovel Up the Savings – Broaden the concept of a “first job” for older kids by having them do chores for neighbors. You can either pay your kids for raking leaves and shoveling snow or talk to your neighbors about hiring your kids for a small amount. Have your kids put the money into savings and use this as an opportunity to teach them about the different types of interest that can be earned through savings accounts.

Spread Cheer – Going out of the way to help others during the holidays is in the spirit of the season. To teach kids the importance of helping others and make them feel like they are making a difference have them use part of their earnings from doing chores for a charitable donation or to buy gifts and food for families in need.




Stuff Stockings with Stocks – If you want your kids to help out with chores all year, not just during the holidays, give them a reason to be motivated. Adults work for a paycheck and kids will too, especially if their money starts growing in the stock market.

Book Review: 30-Minute Cooking for Two: Healthy Dishes Without All the Fuss by Taylor Ellingson ISBN: 978-1-64152-224-3



Suzanne and I remember the days when we were newlywed.  She could cook up anything she wanted to without having to worry about picky eaters.  We passed those years a long time ago and are now back to being almost empty nesters.

That is where cookbooks like 30-Minute Cooking for Two: Healthy Dishes Without All the Fuss by Taylor Ellingson will now come in handy.  Suzanne can whip up small batches of food quickly and easily with no fuss or muss.

The recipes in this book are quick and easy to prepare.  Most of the recipes use only eight ingredients or less. There are easy to find ingredients that should be available in your local store.

Whether you are a newlywed couple, or empty nesters, you will find 30-Minute Cooking for Two to be loaded with lots of great ideas.  This will make a great gift for the cooks on your list.


We were sent a complimentary copy of this book.  We are under no obligation to write any review, positive or negative.

Book Review: Who Are You? by Russell Wetherington ISBN: 9781575500706


When the world lost Zig Ziglar, we lost a great inspirational character. His spirit sort of lives on in works like Who Are You? by Russell Wetherington.

In this book, Wetherington quotes multiple scriptures, top inspirational leaders, and others to guide his readers on a 31 day journey to bettering themselves.

Readers are instructed to read one chapter per day for a month.  There are a total of 31 chapters. Readers will want to read one extra chapter on one day during months with only 30 days. February provides multiple opportunities during the month to double up on readings.

This book is designed to take readers through the 31 chapters of Proverbs along the way.  Each month readers are encouraged to re-read the book with the belief that they will gain some new insight on each reading.

Along the way, readers will read stories they have heard before and some very new ones.  They will read stories of inspiration and hope.

Who Are You? is very well-written and very uplifting.  We give it all five stars.



We were sent a complimentary copy of this book.  We are under no obligation to write any review, positive or negative.
