When a product is practical and cute, you have a win-win. Happy Lights by Delaware Lane are just that! These LED lights look like an incandescent light bulb, but they are battery-powered LED lights. Theircheerful smiling faces are reminiscent of the smiley face icons from the 70’s.
These lights hang from a long string that you attach to the ceiling making them perfect to use for lighting up dark closets and spaces. Beyond that, they are great to take camping and to use as tent lights or to keep in an emergency kit. Since they are battery-powered they are perfect to use during power outages.
Since these lights hang from a long string, be careful when using them in areas with young children. The lights remain cool to the touch. Happy Lights are a good choice to use in outdoor structures like sheds and boat houses.
The lights use 3 AAA batteries. To turn the light on and off , you simply pull them. They light up dark areas very nicely. I plan to put mine in a dark hall closet that I have.
You can see more about how these lights work in my video below:

The Ostrich and Other Lost Things is a new book by Beth Hautala, author of Waiting for Unicorns. The book tells the story of eleven-year-old Olivia Grant who, despite being extraordinarily good at finding lost things, can’t find her brother’s toy ostrich—a comfort item she believes helps manage his autism.
So, when summer break begins, and the local community theater announces auditions for an all children’s production of her favorite show, Peter Pan, Olivia jumps at the chance to claim something for herself. But what begins as a promising opportunity and a wonderful escape quickly becomes pure chaos.
The visiting zoo with an odd assortment of animals–including an ostrich that causes even more trouble than Jacob’s missing toy–only make matters worse, as Olivia’s summer is shaping up to be just as consumed by Jacob’s needs as the rest of her life has been. In time, and with the help of some unlikely alliances, Olivia must learn what it means to be separate from her brother and still love him, how to love herself in spite of her own flaws, and that not all lost things are meant to be found.
Olivia has feelings that will be very relatable to anyone growing up with a special needs sibling. Sometimes the stress is almost too much and Olivia wonders why can’t things be more normal. Dealing with Jacob’s meltdowns, doctor’s appointments, rituals and more can wear on a tween trying to find her own way. If Olivia could just find her brother’s Ostrich, things might get better instead of worse.
Vetted by healthcare professionals and inspired by the author’s experiences, Beth Hautala writes with sensitivity and authority as she explores the larger impact of autism on the family of the individual diagnosed. The Ostrich and Other Lost Things is a timely, universal message of understanding and tolerance. The bonds and challenges of caring for a sibling with autism are bravely explored, along with the pain and power that comes from self-discovery in this beautifully written novel.
Listen to me read the prologue and chapter 1 of the this great book:
Praise for The Ostrich and Other Lost Things:
“The Ostrich and Other Lost Things is a delicate, warm, textured novel that explores the wonder, pain, envy, and intimacy of sibling relationships. Written with a huge dose of compassion and vulnerability, there is so much to love about the world Olivia and her brother Jacob inhabit. I lost myself in this wonderful world, and I know that Olivia herself wouldn’t be able to find me.”–Corey Ann Haydu, author of The Someday Suitcase and Rules for Stealing Stars“Beth Hautala weaves a powerful tale about the challenges of having a sibling with autism. Olivia steals our heart as she tries to find what is lost and make her family whole again. The Ostrich and Other Lost Things is full of memorable characters, riveting moments, and surprising turns that add up to a very heartwarming and magical read. I loved it!”–Dana Middleton, author of The Infinity Year of Avalon James
“A brave beautiful story. I loved this book.”–Paul Acampora, author of I Kill the Mockingbird
“Hautala offers an emotionally adept story about love and understanding.”–School Library Journal
“This is hands down the best book with an autistic character that I have ever read. I would recommend this title for those who enjoy books like Wonder(Knopf, 2012), Out of My Mind (Atheneum, 2010), and The Running Dream(Knopf, 2011). It has a wonderful plot that readers will love and teaches a lot about dealing with individuals who are diagnosed with autism. This is a must read!”–School Library Connection
About the Author: Beth Hautala, author of Waiting for Unicorns, has a degree in Writing and Rhetoric from Northwestern College. Beth lives in Minnesota with her husband and their four children where she strives to write stories that tie heart and imagination together.

Roses are beautiful, but they die so fast when cut for bouquets. Sure, you can dry and press them, but that does not leave you with a vibrant, beautiful flower. Wouldn’t it be amazing if they could stay beautifully preserved forever?
If you like that idea, you will love, The Eternity Rose. They take a natural rose and create a gorgeous work of art by electroforming it with 24 karat gold. Then, they cover the leaves and petals in a radiant glaze.
The leaves are treated in a way that dissolves the green tissue, leaving the underlying leaf structure. This reveals a beautiful lattice framework that they coat with 24 karat gold and then glaze.
Each rose is crafted by hand and is truly unique. I recently ordered one of their purple glazed roses. It was presented in a beautiful case that cradled this breathtaking flower with care. The rose is absolutely stunning, you can see more on our video below.
They have roses available in so many beautiful colors on their website. They also have, exquisite pendants and earrings made using real miniature roses. They even have gift sets of their roses and jewelry. These roses make perfect gifts for Valentine’s Day, birthdays, anniversaries and more.
