Terri J. Haynes, a native Baltimorean, is a homeschool mom, writer, prolific knitter, freelance graphic

artist and former Army wife (left the Army, not the husband). She loves to read, so much that when she

was in elementary school, she masterminded a plan to be locked in a public library armed with only a

flashlight to read all the books and a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. As she grew, her love for writing

grew as she tried her hand at poetry, articles, speeches and fiction. She is storyteller at heart. Her

passion is to draw readers in the story world she has created and to bring laughter and joy to their lives.

Terri is a 2010 American Christian Fiction Writers Genesis contest finalist, and a 2012 semi-finalist. She is

also a 2013 Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award Quarterfinalist. Her publishing credits include Cup of

Comfort for Military Families, Crosswalk.com, the Secret Place Devotional, Urbanfaith.com, Vista

Devotional, and Publisher’s Weekly.

Terri holds a Bachelor's Degree in Theology, a Master's degree in Theological Studies and a certificate in

creative writing and graphic design, meeting the minimal requirements of being a geek. She and her

husband pastor a church where she serves as executive pastor and worship leader. Terri lives in

Maryland with her three wonderful children and her husband, who often beg her not to kill of their

favorite characters.

#TheRhythmTree Autism and Special Needs Music Therapy Program DVD


Disclaimer: This post contains Amazon Affiliate links.



I recieved Autism & Special Needs DVD and CD : PERFECT FOR PARENTS, EDUCATORS AND THERAPISTS - Developed by a Music Therapist, in exchange for honest review from Tomoson. The DVD was created by Ryan Judd, a certified music therapist.

I wanted this because I do have two kids with autism, in addition to other diagnoses. My kids love music. Both kids also love to dance along to certain songs. I have videos of Kalen dancing to Lecrae, Lyfe Jennings, Bruno Mars, and the Austin and Ally theme song.

Both kids have also used music in various therapies and in church.




Judd teaches how music can help kids improve skills, no matter if parents can sing or not. The key is to have fun with your kids. In the video, Judd has children participate along via instruments (maracas, tapping sticks, and tambourines) and movement, such as jumping, crawling,  hi-fives and balancing on the left and right leg. He also has some counting in the songs. There is also a cd with all 9 songs from the DVD.

Judd also provides tips on prompts and how to respond to children in therapy. He also provides tips on how to make homemade instruments, such as drums, rubber band harps,  and sandpaper blocks. ]


You can purchase the DVD on Amazon, using the link above. The Dvd is prime-eligible.



#ZahlerKidophilus Kid's Advanced Probiotic Review (Tomoson)


Disclaimer: This post contains Amazon Affiliate Links.



I received Zahler Kidophilus Liquid, Advanced Children's Probiotic, in exchange for honest review from Tomoson.

I used this on Kalen mostly since his bowel and gas movements was infrequent. He also has more health issues than Brad and the probiotic does help improve immunity. Kidophilus also helps clear yeast infections, bad breath, gas, and digestion.

I liked the taste of the product. Kalen's bowel movements increased within a few days. The stools were also more looser and sometimes wetter.

You can purchase the probiotics on Amazon, using the link above. The probiotic is prime-eligible.


We Dream: Modern Lullabies to help you and your baby fall asleep (Tomoson)

Disclaimer: This post contains Amazon Affiliate Links.



I received Lullaby CD - Modern Instrumental Guitar Lullabies , in exchange for honest review from Tomoson. I wanted the cd to see if it helps calm Kalen down so he can go to sleep at night. Kalen is the king of naps, but since school started, his naps have declined and he wants to stay up until late at night. I don't want to rely on meds, (Brad is on two prescribed sleep meds) to help him sleep.

The cd is filled with sounds of water, such as the ocean. I think I heard rain too. Kalen was sleep within 30 minutes. He even slept in his own bed.

Ryan Judd, the creator of the collection, is a certified music therapist. The CD contains 7 instrumental selections:


  1. Drift Away
  2. Stay Awhile
  3. A Step Closer
  4. Storyteller
  5. DreamScape 
  6. A Winter's Ballad
  7. Bittersweet


You can purchase the CD off Amazon, using the link above. The CD is prime-eligible. The CD also comes in MP3 format.

Zitrades Motion Sensor Night Light Review (Tomoson)

Disclaimer: This post contains Amazon Affiliate Links.


A video posted by Stacie D Wyatt (@sdwyatt1980) on



I received Zitrades Motion Sensored Night Light in exchange for honest review from Tomoson. The light runs on 4 AA batteries. You can either turn it on via the button at the bottom (high and low light) plus the motion sensor light. To use the motion sensor light, it must be completely dark around the light. I been noticing after 9 is the best time. At first, I wasn't sure if it worked or not. Then,a few days ago, I went to the potty and viola, the light came on. Luckily, it doesn't pick up on the light from the bathroom. I usually leave the light on at night because I lock the bathroom door and need to see how to open it.

The hardest part was installing the light on the wall. Luckily, the battery compartment slides off. I marked the locations with a hole, using the screwdriver. Next, I worked the screw driver in the hole until it was big enough to handle an anchor screw. Finally, I screwed the battery compartment into the wall first, then slid the light unit onto the battery compartment. Trying to install the night light as a whole unit was too much of a challenge. You also have the option of using the 3m double sided tape as an option as well, if you want a no drill/no screwdriver installation.

You can purchase the night light, using the link above. The night light is prime-eligible.


Eco Friendly Mat Review (Giveaway Service)

I received the Eco friendly Mat, in exchange for honest review from Giveaway Service. The Eco Friendly Mat are smaller and eco-friendlier versions of the cutting board. My cutting board is the holder for my silicone ice trays. This mat is also made from silicone. Silicone cooking tools are becoming my new best friends.

I liked the smaller cutting mats. I have used it for meats, veggies, and even Kalen took one and used it as a coloring mat. The mats also have lines for measuring. You have numbers along the side, plus the dotted squares in the middle. I use them when needed and store them back in my kitchen tools bin in my room. My tools don't go downstairs to the kitchen with everything else :-).

You can purchase the mats on Amazon. They come in a set of 4 in 4 different colors. The mats are prime-eligible.

iPro Max Lavalier Microphone Review (Giveaway Service)

I received iPro-Max pro lavalier lapel microphonein exchange for honest review.

I have a degree in journalism and have covered live events in the area. My former school provided me with camera equipment, including a lavalier microphone for the camcorder with wind screens. The mic is good for the camcorder, but not great for the phone. I liked this one because I can do video reviews and cover live events using the phone as a microphone, even if the camcorder is dead (which has happened) and I have to record over the phone. The device comes with attachments for both android and iphone. The sound came in clear and crisp.

The device also comes with a windscreen, an extra clip, and a carrying case. I carry this in my purse at all times. May come in handy for a quick youtube video or a periscope broadcast. 

You can purchase the iPro Max on Amazon, using the link above. The microphone is prime-eligible. 

NuSpin Straw Cup Review (Giveaway Service)

I received nuSpin Kids 8 oz Sip & Spin Straw Cup, Monster Trucks Race When You Drink, in exchange for honest review. It comes with a cup and two straws. The cup is different from a traditional sippy cup. When your child drinks from the cup, the wheel spins around. Kalen had trucks spinning when he drunk out of the cup.

Kalen was more fascinated by the spinning wheel than drinking out the cup. I have bought similar cups with straws in the past. Kalen did not take well to them. Either not using them or throwing away the straw. I do like how this one comes with an extra straw, just in case.


You can purchase the cup from Amazon, using the link above. The cup is also available in butterflies, The cup is prime-eligible.

Brieftons Food Chopper Review (Tomoson)

Disclaimer: This post contains Amazon Affiliate Links.




I recieved Brieftons Manual Food Chopper: Compact & Powerful Hand Held Vegetable Chopper / Mincer / Blender to Chop Fruits, Vegetables, Nuts, Herbs, Onions, Garlics for Salsa, Salad, Pesto, Coleslaw, Puree, in exchange for honest review.

I wanted this to help chop veggies, especially when the knives are missing. Unfortunately, during the first use, the middle blade holder thingie broke and I didn't get a change to fully see how it works. I was trying to chop a partial onion.

You can purchase the chopper on Amazon, using the link above.


Zim's Cold Sore Cream Review (Tomoson)

Disclaimer: This post contains Amazon Affiliate Links.


I received Zim's Advanced Cold Sore Kit, in exchange for honest and unbiased review. You have one tube for treatment and one for maintaining. As some people know, I have been diagnosed with herpes for over 10 years. Blisters are blisters, whether up top or down below. I used the maintain for up top and the treat for down below. The treat cream did not work as fast as my regular cold sore cream, but it did work within a day.

You can purchase the product using the link above. The cold sore cream is not prime-eligible, but it does arrive within a few days.


Bath Sponge Pouf Set (Tomoson)

Disclaimer: This post contains Amazon Affiliate Links.




I received the Bath Sponge Pouf Set by Shower Bouquet: Mesh and Lace, in exchange for honest review from Tomoson. The set comes with 4 loofahs in 4 colors. I recieved blue, yellow, pink, and purple. I use the purple, Brad has the blue, and I gifted the yellow to someone.

The poufs are made from mesh and lace. The lace was rough at first and took a minute to get used to. I assume the lace is for exfoliation. Depending on your soap, it does take a while to lather up. Kalen's soap doesn't lather well with the pouf, while my suave lathers well with the pouf.

You can purchase the Bath Sponge Set using the link above. The set is prime-eligible.
