The Berenstain Bears and the Joy of Giving is an excellent book to read this Christmas season.

Gift Idea: What’s in the Bible?
"Best of the Best" gift ideas from Momma C: There is rarely a day gone by that one of my children is not talking about Pastor Paul, Buck Denver, Ian, Clive, or Sunday School Lady.

Gift Idea: Charlie Church Mouse & Keys of the Kingdom Computer Games
In August and September I introduced you to four computer games by Inspired Media that I think are tops.

Review: Adventures in Odyssey Cause and Effect
For over 15 years, I have been a huge fan of Adventures in Odyssey. I refer to it several times on the blog and listen online as I type emails, blogs, and update the ABJCLM website. I was so excited a few days ago when Bubs started listening to some past episodes during his quiet time. He laid quietly and soaked it in. ...

A sweet friend asked me if it was hard for me to write negative reviews about products? While 85% of the products that I review are wonderful, there are those few that I don't think make the grade. On one hand, a company has intrusted me with a product to increase their advertisement and sells. On the other hand, ...
Review: Keys of the Kingdom Computer Game
Keys of the Kingdom is the fourth computer game produced by Left Behind Games that I am reviewing. Unlike the Charlie Church Mouse games, this CD-Rom is rated for everyone and contains a series of brain teasers. Each of the 100 levels progressively get harder. The games are set around the premise of castles, a king, and Sir ...

My mom found a Charlie Church Mouse computer programs for us. Bubs and Sweet Pea immediately loved it. Little Man enjoyed watching them play. The format is very similar to the Preschool version that I reviewed last week. The Kindergarten activities are geared toward kids ages 4-6. There are six Bible stories ...
