MABEL: Book Review and Giveaway: Blessed: Living A Grateful Life by Ellen Michaud

** this giveaway is closed ** 


 
WELCOME!

This week we will be sharing some special MABEL, Mother's Day giveaways!

If you were a fan of the TV Show Mad About You, then you know where MABEL came from! I always thought it was sweet, and that it would be totally appropriate for this weeks' giveaways! So enjoy the giveaways!

Up first is a wonderful little book, Blessed: Living A Grateful Life by Ellen Michaud. I put this book first as we had a WHOLE lotta prayers and blessings said for us prior to Kiddo's arrival, and I thought we should remember that it is through God's blessing, that our children come to us, via whichever means they did!

Synopsis: Sometimes we just need to stop for a moment and absorb the quiet moments in the world around us--to take a deep breath and appreciate the things in life that make us thankful and bring us joy. In this heartfelt collection of her online columns from Diane, the flagship magazine of the Curves women's fitness center organization, author Ellen Michaud reminds us of the everyday blessings that surround us, but we all tend to overlook.




Review: This may be a small book, but it is a wonderful collection of reminders to "Stop and Smell the Roses", and take in the wonders around us, including family and friends, that we overlook until times of need. I hope you all read the excerpt from earlier today- this book is a lovely colleciton of heartful and meaningful short stories and thoughts that will delight any woman who receives the book. It is the perfect book to give to all the women in your life, who you feel blessed to have them there!
