Review: Ten in the Bed
Twin Sisters contacting me about review one of their products. I thought the kids would enjoy the book Ten in the Bed with Sing-Along Music CD. The story is based on the well known song - a number of "somethings" (in this case bears) are in a bed. The little one says, " Roll over." So, they all roll over and one falls ...

August: Making Memories
Several months ago I mentioned that my mom gave me a 1993 issue of Shining Star magazine. Included in this issue is an excerpt from Jody Capehart's book - Cherishing and Challenging Your Children. The article called "Making Meaningful Memories", contains practical tips to create family traditions and memories throughout the year. ...
Review: My First Hands-On Bible
In the first few moments of holding this Bible, I knew that I had just found my Bible of choice for the 5 Year Curriculum. My husband knew he had just found a Bible for night time devos with the kids. If this title rings a bell, just a year ago I reviewed the bigger brother to this Bible - Hands-On Bible NLT. I really liked ...
Review: Super Star Speech
When Bubs was three we started speech. Holy cow, I had no idea the cost for a thirty minute session of speech. (I really wondered why I got a teaching degree for a moment!) On top of that, our speech pathologist wanted to see him several times a week and felt it would take several years to correct his problems. I was ...
But I am a Martha….
The story of Mary and Martha used to make me mad. It wasn't fair and I couldn't see how Martha did anything wrong. Seriously...up until college I questioned Jesus because Mary did not help Martha. (Is my lion personality coming out strong or what?) In college I realized that it was about the focus. What was important at that moment. Read ...
The Choice to Hit the Panic Button or Not
2011 is going down as a year of craziness. I can already see our Christmas letter. Let me give you a sneak peak. We have had extreme weather (-20 temperatures to record high heat; 25" of snow to 15" of flooding rains and now a drought). Our family was sick off and on for the first five months of this year. Immediately after the ...
Review: Wysi Wipes
Wysi Wipe contacted me about doing a review. With eight sticky faces and hands in our home, I am always looking for easy items for those messy situations. I received two Multi Purpose Wipes Travel Pack containing 12 Wipes each. Simply add water and the wipes hydrate and snake apart. Something that was the diameter of a nickel is now ...
Review: The Beginner’s Bible for Toddlers
The Beginner’s Bible for Toddlers is the Bible that I chose for the 2 Year Curriculum. After reviewing several toddler Bibles, I felt this one covered the stories with the most accuracy and would appeal best to the majority of toddlers and their attention spans. You may recognize this Bible as it is the precursor to the Beginner’s Bible used in ...
