What do companies say?
"Thank you so much for you wonderful review of "Orphs of the Woodlands."  It was eloquent, and your words were so kind!  Your style of writing is very engaging.  Loved reading about Ceesa!  Great photos.  Well done! Happy Learning!"~Marlene J.

"What a great review! As always, you have blessed me once again." ~Pilgrim on a journey, Amy Puetz

 "Hi Bethany! I just wanted to thank you so much for reviewing "Papa's Pearls." I was fascinated to see how you used the book as a read-aloud with your family - and so touched by the children's comments as well as the string of pearls your daughter made. I like your suggestion for a companion book as well. :)" ~Diane Flynn Keith

 "I'm so glad to hear of Ceesa's love for the stories and how God is planting seeds in HER heart even at this age to have an interest in missions! You can tell her that many of the missionaries that she read about in Seed Sowers decided they were going to be missionaries while they were children too. It will be exciting to see how God uses her! :)" ~Gwen Toliver

 "Thank you for the review! I really appreciate it." ~Carol Topp CPA

 "I loved your review! It was so fun to see your family using the virtues! Thank you, Bethany" ~We Choose Virtues

I'm sorry if I'm a little dense and am not seeing it on your site... but how should someone go about contacting you with a review opportunity? I have a music curriculum product you may be interested in trying.

Thanks,
