About Me and My Blog

There are so many challenges and opportunities in today’s world and my motto is, “If you want to explore deeper oceans, you first have to leave sight of the shore.”

No matter what your dreams or goals are, don’t give up. We will never know if something can be accomplished if we don’t at least try. I thought the ocean picture I took is very appropriate for my blog.

The Martha Review was born on December 25, 2014 and I started it mainly to write product and book reviews to help others learn more about the item. It didn’t take long to add more categories such as money saving tips, inexpensive but healthy meal plans, health and wellness and a variety of other topics. You might say I write about a host of lifestyle topics and especially the musings of my grandchildren and great grandchildren.

My blog now has 3 generations of writers! I was excited when my granddaughter joined in a few years ago and has a category, Alex’s Articles. She shares some very knowledgeable topics that you won’t want to miss. But the icing on the cake is when her daughter, my 5th great grandbaby also joined in with her own category! Lia’s Likings, The Baby Blogger are videos and blogs “written” by Lia where she shares some interesting baby products and just fun things she does. She started her category when she was 6 months old and I’m excited to see more of both her and Alexandra’s blogs.

The latest edition to Lia the Baby Blogger page is her FRIDAY STORY TIME! Lia (with my help) writes a story on Friday’s about her adventures of baking, gardening, hiking and whatever come to mind that make her readers smile! Lia loves to make people smile and shares her love and smiles to everyone. UPDATE from August 2021 – Lia the Baby Blogger has been renamed to A Day in Lia’s Shoes! She turned 3 years old on August 23, 2021 and she told me she’s not a baby anymore!

I also love to share websites and apps that have found for great ways to earn cash and gift cards by doing easy surveys, clicking for points, watching ads, watching TV and other ways to earn. There is no fee to join any, just sign up, have fun and make a few $$. These are just a few gift cards that I have earned. I am also an affiliate on many sites where I advertise some great products and sales for the companies.

I have been married to my sweetheart since July 1967 and we have 2 grown daughters, 7 wonderful grand children and 7 adorable great grand children. I have owned and operated Mar-C’s Interiors since 1967, along with my husband. When we aren’t working or doing product reviews, I enjoy photography, gardening and riding my Harley.

I’d like to thank my grandson, CJ Richards for helping me start and set up my Blog. I wouldn’t be where I am if it wasn’t for him being such a wonderful mentor.
