For Better For Worse

For Better For Worse
written by
Rachel Semo Wool


Most people who met me, know I like to read about the Holocaust, WWII, and the like. For Better For Worse was no different. Even though this book does not revolve solely around WWII it does tell the memories of life from before WWI to present times. The ups and downs of life or should I say the For Better For Worse times.

All families struggle from time to time and this is a story that tell of those struggles as well as the hurdles they overcame. This book is a wonderful recollection of a family that seemed to be always one step ahead of the Nazi's which is amazin in itself. I admire people of this time for the things they had to do just to live. I hope you will read this story and remember life is full of For Better For Worse and we can overcome them with a little faith.

Heat Hunter



These gloves are slotted at taking temperatures of 932 which is way hot. I love that they are both cut and heat resistance. I will be using these mainly for gardening because the red and black will really stand out if I should forget them and need to find them in the garden.

We do a vegetable garden usually but our landlord has a pile of dirt, a pile of bricks, and several piles of wood throughout our yard so we haven't been able to start our garden this year.

I have a few more weeks to get planted but I hope he hurries. These glove fit my hands whicn are a medium and even fit my husbands hands which are an xtra large. Most of the time what fits me won't fit him and what fits him is way to big for me but these take both of our hand sizes and fit well.



The Heat Hunter Gloves can be found on Amazon.

Lighted Dog Collar




Love this collar but not as much as our Saint Bernard loves it. She knows her collars as jewelry and whenever we say we have new jewelry for her she comes running.

When we put this on her and then the light she was wagging her tail, smiling, and more then ready to go out for a walk.

I love that this recharges and that there are no batteries to change out when they die. Easy to charge with the included USB charger.

Great for walking your dog in the evening. Easy for people to see your pet, so you and your pet are safer while walking.






This collar is available in several colors and these sizes SMALL 11-16 inches, MEDIUM 13-19 inches, LARGE 15-23 inches.

This company also has leashes which I will be reviewing soon as well. You can mix and match anyways you would like.

Solar Powered Outdoor Spotlights




Love solar power, one of the things we want to get if we ever get to owning our own place. We try to make up by recycling, reusing, repurposing, and using solar where we can like with these solar powered spotlights. These will cut down on our electric bill by using these to light our porch up instead of a traditional bulb, or spotlight.

I think this is great. You can also use these in a pinch if you have a power outage in the evening for light in your home. Works for us. These will come on automatically when the sun goes down, and off when the sun comes up. I can not say how much I am loving these and hope to add more solar power to our home in the future.

These solar powered outdoor spotlights can be found on Amazon.

Magnetic Whiteboard Eraser Set



Finally full size erasers for both our chalkboards, and white boards. Much easier to get jobs done when your eraser is big to make the job go by more quickly. I love that these are magnetic I can just leave it towards the bottom of the board and it doesn't fall off because of it being held there from the magnetic makings of the eraser.

Great for classrooms, work, home, Sunday schools, etc. I know we will be passing a few of these on to our favorite teachers next year with some ideas we saw online. I also like that their are 4 colors so that if you need to have for different areas or different things say one for chalk and one for dry erase you are sure to be able to tell which one to use.

The Magnetic Whiteboard Eraser Set can be found on Amazon.
