Book Review: Pintelligent



Pintelligent: Corey Frankosky l LadyD Books


About The Book

This is a no-fluff Pinterest marketing guide. You can learn how to grow your follower count with ease. I teach you how to build a professional looking profile, how to find and create pins, daily action plans for success, and one of the greatest resources to build followers and authority on Pinterest. You can learn how to build a professional looking profile and how to gain thousands of followers over time.

This eBook contains all my knowledge about Pinterest. I have created multiple profiles in a variety of niches over the past several years. In my experience, I found Pinterest to be a great source of website traffic and a great way to build your brand.

I try to make Pinterest marketing as simple as possible so you can get a lot of followers and gain authority. The more followers you can gain now, the easier it will be to advertise your brand later. Pinterest has always been one of the best traffic sources, which is why I wrote this book in the first place. Pinterest for business does not have to be difficult any longer.

I also included a section with a bunch of free and paid tools that will really help. Inside, you will find everything from the Pinterest app to Pinterest WordPress plugins and themes. You might find some tools very useful and there are a lot of free resources to help you with this unique social media network.

Depending on your Pinterest topic, you might use quotes or motivational images. I prefer using www.quotescover.com because it has the most features.

Book Review

Marketing tips and methods to grow followers and your brand on Pinterest is what this guidebook is all about. It's easy to read and you can look back on it for an easy reference. The author walks you through setting up your profile on Pinterest, knowing what and when to pin photos; knowing how to connect with others. I am currently using information from the action plans to be more successful on Pinterest and to take the best being offered here, while learning from other's mistakes. If you are new to Pinterest, there's a section of shared sites for creating your pins. In addition, there are many free Pinterest tools and resources enclosed. I found the book guide to be quite helpful

4/5 stars.

About The Book


Let’s face it. Most kids don’t want to practice the piano. And if they do find the time to practice, it’s usually because their parent kept nagging them. How frustrating! Piano teachers are frustrated too. It’s nearly impossible to teach students new concepts when they don’t understand the old ones--all because of a lack of practice. If you’re a parent in this situation, I have just the solution you’re looking for. In this upbeat book, I share all the tips I’ve discovered in my 14 years of teaching piano. You’ll learn fun, practical ways to get your kids to the keyboard. But this book goes one step further. I’ll show you easy ways to encourage better quality practice.

101 Piano Practice Tips: How to get your Kids to the Keyboard!


I'm currently reading this great resource (eBook) to help parents encourage their kids to practice the piano. As we approach the end of the school year, the challenges are great for us teachers. Spring is in the air and most kids are thinking about playing outdoor activities and heading to the beach!

So, to keep their enthusiasm going, my students are embarking upon a new practice incentive game called Marooned on Musicians' Island by Sheryl Welles. Needless to say, the kids love it!

Today I am participating in a book meme, Friday #56

Snippet from 101 Piano Practice Tips: How to get your kids to the keyboard
By Tracy Capps Selle
"I have one young student who has her family wear "recital hats" and they all sit around the piano while she performs."
Personally, the kids in my studio have had a blast wearing hats while they performed their practice piece just for me... Here's an example of what I'm talking about:

Piano Students Wearing Hats l LadyD Books

I have written music articles on one's piano practice that have been published on Ezine! Have a look:


My Review


Get the book! Every parent needs to read this one. I've been teaching over 20 years and I'm frequently asked this universal question of concern from the parents on piano practice. Inside the eBook, you'll discover things that you can do right now to enhance children's practice time, as well as a section on keeping teenagers interested in their instrument. The author's ideas are easy to implement for the  beginner students to the advanced one. Whether you as a parent have musical training or not, you'll find excellent tips, free online resources, and encouragement to help guide and motivate your child's practice time on the keyboard! Piano practice is fun and by reading the book, you'll be avoiding arguments and facilitating quality time in developing a daily discipline that will lead to huge benefits one day. I highly recommend the book to all piano teachers, piano students, and their families.

5/5 stars!

The Art of Getting Things Done: Book Review

The Art Of Getting Things Done: Vincent A. Santiago


About The Book


In a world full of busy schedules, family time and unscheduled meetings, time is Gold.

Time is a very precious nonrenewable resource, and this is what you'll hear from people who know the value of it. They say that the more you rush, the faster the time gets, and the more you wait, the slower it gets. The truth is that time will remain the same whether you rush or not. It really depends on the way you manage yourself. That is why self-management is key. It helps you become more organized, punctual, and a more effective person. The Art of Getting things Done was created to serve those who lack in the "self-management" category. It also teaches you self-discipline and self-awareness in order to successfully manage all of your work, and have time for additional activities. But this is only scratching the surface! Much much more will be included in this simple, step by step guide.

In this book you'll learn:


  • The importance of a winning attitude.
  • How to create effective to-do lists the right way.
  • The 5 most powerful to-do lists that will save you time.
  • How to weigh your priorities.
  • How to remain calm amidst distractions.
  • The benefits of taking a break.
  • How to develop new habits for a none productive day.
  • How to stay healthy and attain prosperity.
Time management might be a little tricky, but The Art of getting Things Done provides a step-by-step blueprint to make life easy, more fun, and hassle free.

The Friday #56  (56% reader)


"If your goal is to keep calm and stay relaxed, it is best to listen to piano pieces or instrumental music instead of grunge rock or similarly loud music."

Why I Like It 


There are ten well organized chapters, mostly about self management and having a winning attitude. I think there's some valuable information here, like getting a breakthrough on mastering your own attitude is everything. Next, the author tackles effective and doable to-do lists to incorporate a healthy self discipline. I like that the author makes an important point in taking small breaks and learning to outsource, delegate tasks to the right people if you're a successful business leader. What I enjoyed most about the book was the underlying importance of tuning out distractions and ignoring them. Make it a habit to stay calm is a good mantra to have for oneself. It's true, we will have trials come our way but having good health makes it easier for you to think positive thoughts and help you to go onward, despite adversities in life. I like the book and the author seems to share form his heart the tried and true lessons he has learned in life that work for him.

4/5 stars.

I love the author's style of writing. I learned a great deal, especially in regards to having a changed perspective on reducing. The book is well organized and easy to understand, like organizing your things by keeping them, giving them away or throwing them away. If you're a pack-rat or just find yourself with way too many belongings weighing you down, and you can't find what's really important to you, then this box set is for you.

4/5 stars. Recommend it.

About The Book


Homesteading, gardening, canning, family life, healthy living, essential oils and emergency preparedness -- It's all here in this collection of top tips from the hosts of The Survival Mom Radio Network.

Linking up with The Friday #56 and Book Nook

"What we consume and feed to our children does matter! It is important to listen to our bodies. We are not supposed to be sick all the time!"


My Thoughts


The book contains lots of links to several videos and tons of information on the internet. Within the pages you'll find humor, insights and personal stories of triumph and failure.

Healthy Living
Home & Family
Growing and Preserving Food
Prepping & survival

My favorite sections in the book talks about structured routines providing security for children, and sharing reading tips for success. I like how the author shares many links for the reader to follow along with appropriate podcasts that go with the subject matter. Because I have always pretty much grown my own food, and love cooking and sewing, the book is a huge hit with me. This style of writing is a new approach for me, sharing podcasts with the reader. I enjoyed being a part of The Survival Mom Radio Network. 5/5 stars. Recommend.

The house I recently bought came with all sorts of building material, for projects that never got started: stacks of landscape timbers, rolls of fencing, bags of potting soil, a shelf kit, a water fountain kit, and much more.

My Review


I'm a huge fan of watching where your money goes and keeping a budget. Having more doesn't make you happy and living beyond your means can cause major problems.

I have already incorporated many of his common sense ideas  with my own country lifestyle but no matter where you live, or the amount of money you have, practical sense is found within the pages. It's a good read and easy to apply many of the principles for learning ways to spend less money and live a frugal lifestyle. Don't spend it unless you really need it!

Review: Home Canning Step by Step Guide




Living on 2 1/2 acres out in the country is a wonderful lifestyle and rewarding opportunity to grow much of our own food. I am so thankful for this experience and feel so blessed. I just finished reading a book on canning this week and thought I'd share it with my readers.

Here's What The Book Is About

This guide is intended to provide you with the essential information to make your first small jars in a safe and enjoyable way. It will guide you through all stages from preparation to storage of your products.

You will discover the principles of conservation for different types of food, the benefits of home canning, the recommended methods as well as the ones to avoid.

Then you will learn the two proper methods of treatment: the boiling water bath and the pressure canning methods. You will find a list of essential equipment and the detailed steps for a successful canning experience.

Finally you will gain some hands on experience with our easy and delicious recipes.

This guide does not claim to be scientific or complete. We simply want to give you the tools you need to get into the fun activity of preparing your home preserves.


Book Content Inside

12 recipes that will allow you to practice the canning techniques. They are divided into three levels of complexity:

Level 1 = easy. The recipes are very simple. You can focus on techniques for canning without too much worry about the recipe itself.
Recipe # 1 - Apple sauce with a touch of nutmeg and vanilla (boiling water method)
Recipe # 2 - Canned Pears (boiling water method)
Recipe # 3 - Canned fresh tomatoes (pressure canning method)
Recipe # 4 - Canned Carrots (pressure canning method)

2 = medium level. The recipes are a little more elaborate. There are more steps before moving on to canning.
Recipe # 5 - Tangerine marmalade (boiling water method)
Recipe # 6 – Pork Cretons à la JeBouffe (pressure canning method)
Recipe # 7 - Quick and Tasty Green Ketchup (boiling water method)
Recipe # 8 - Marinara Sauce (pressure canning method)

Level 3 = complex. The recipes are longer and more complex. There are more steps before moving on to canning.
Recipe # 9 - Plum jam with cinnamon (boiling water method)
Recipe # 10 - Nectarine Chutney (pressure canning method)
Recipe # 11 - Cherries and Raspberries Spread (boiling water method)
Recipe # 12 - Kedjenou chicken (pressure canning method)


By following these recipes step by step, we guarantee the success of your first home preserves.

I pretty much peel and chop apples in a dutch oven over the stove, adding some water and lemon juice. Boil down till soft and add some sugar. When it's the right consistency, then I fill the jars and process in pressure canner for 8 mins. Many times I just freeze homemade applesauce in quart bags.

How about you? Oh, here's a recipe from the book:


Applesauce Sauce with a touch of nutmeg and vanilla

Production: 10 - 1/2 pint jars
Preparation: 30 minutes
Cooking: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

Apples - 10 lbs.
Sugar - 1 cup
Nutmeg - 1 teaspoon
Vanilla Extract - 1/4 cup

Steps:

1. Prepare a large bowl of cold water and add the lemon juice to it.
2. Peel, core and slice apples. Place in water.
3. Remove the apples from the bowl and drain.
4. In a large pot, cook the apples over medium heat for 3-4 mins.
5. When the apples start to disgorge their juice, increase heat to high.
6. Stir regularly until apples are tender.
7. To produce an apple sauce, put everything in a blender or food processor to create a puree.
8. Add sugar, nutmeg, and vanilla. Simmer for more than 2 mins. to dissolve the sugar.
9. Pour into jars, close and process.

15 mins. in a boiling water bath or 8 mins. of pressure canning under 6 lbs. of pressure.

My Thoughts

Basic information for those who are new to canning and it's a quick read. Not too much new here for me but I thought I'd try the Quick and Tasty Green Ketchup recipe. Photos to go with the fruit recipes would have been nice to see here.  3/4 stars.

The Working Chicken: Happy and Healthy

The Working Chicken




Book Description



A short, sweet, and self-sufficient guide to keeping chickens as part of a rural or urban homestead. 

Learn everything you need to know to get started on your poultry adventure with these quick answers to your frequently asked questions. The Working Chicken begins by helping you choose the perfect flock for your family, then explains how to feed and house your new pets. Finally, the book's permaculture twist ensures that your chickens will not only be happy and healthy, they'll also keep your family healthy too. 

Friday #56

Although mash can get lost in the grass and require you to buy more feeding pellets, some people believe that hunting mash in the grass gives chickens something to do and cuts down on pecking.

The Working Chicken: Learn everything you need to know to become a backyard egg and meat producer in 30 minutes or less! 

 My Review


Relevant and useful guide to something you just might want to do someday. It's for the beginner rancher and the professional farmer. The author walks you through the steps of purchasing the best breeds. I've had chickens before when my children were young. What I especially like about the book is the section on how to keep chickens alive through the summer and winter months. The book is well organized, sharing information on how much space is required for chickens, along with maintaining a productive flock by culling old hens and extra roosters. I appreciate the knowledge and experience Anna has shared with us here.

4/5 stars.

About the Author


Anna Hess dreamed about moving back to the land ever since her parents dragged her off their family farm at the age of eight. She worked as a field biologist and nonprofit organizer before acquiring fifty-eight acres and a husband, then quit her job to homestead full time. She admits that real farm life involves a lot more hard work than her childhood memories entailed, but the reality is much more fulfilling and she loves pigging out on sun-warmed strawberries and experimenting with no-till gardening, mushroom propagation, and chicken pasturing.
She also enjoys writing about the adventures, both on her blog at WaldenEffect.org, and in her books.  Her first paperback, The Weekend Homesteader, helped thousands of homesteaders-to-be find ways to fit their dreams into the hours leftover from a full-time job.  In addition, a heaping handful of ebooks on Amazon serve a similar purpose.

God's Beloved Daughters

God's Beloved Daughters


Book Description

Both a daily devotional and an in-depth Bible study, God’s Beloved Daughters is a tool “to strengthen and establish and to exhort and comfort and encourage you in your faith” (I Thessalonians 3:2). Wife, mother, student, teacher, lawyer, doctor, businesswoman, pastor – despite all of these titles, there is one role that takes priority over all others – daughter! Our heavenly identity not only defines and characterizes every other relationship we take part in, it prioritizes our daily motivation.

The Friday #56 (56% e-reader)

"Whenever my children were veering a bit off the path of expected behavior - a temper tantrum, a sulk, an obvious trifling with worldly values - an honest and open conversation with them reviewing together expectations and the right way to go always restored them to the better way, and to peace."
My Review

Wonderful words of love and encouragement are discovered within the pages of this beautiful devotional. I found it to be true that with daily reading comes reflection with an opportunity for personal application. You'll discover a new attitude (faith builder) being shaped within you in honoring your creator. Plus, a peace and graciousness that will abide with you in quiet confidence in learning more about truth. Reading God's word will free you from fears and moral conflicts. Who wouldn't want to be elegant and gentle with their reaction towards harsh, abrasive criticism. The more into the book you get, you'll find yourself rejoicing with a happy heart. Overall, this special devotional will energize your spirit as you understand scripture. I believe the author's heart desire is for God's word to change your life with a powerful renewed perspective. May it color your day in understanding His great love for you as you center your time in reading this awesome devotional!

5/5 stars! Highly recommend to friends. The author has a special testimony and sensitive writing skill of communicating.
About The Author
