For the past few weeks, at 5:30 in the morning Kay Arthur and I have been meeting with the Lord. This is after I have rubbed the sleepy dirt away and done a few things to wake myself up a little bit. Then I turn on the lights and begin my quiet time with the Lord. In reality, Kay isn't physically with me. But as I use her devotionals to guide ...

Review: Character DVD’s
As I have stated several times, we watch very little TV. So when we do watch something, it is a treat and I want to make sure that what the kids watch is character building and educational. I am always looking for something that reinforces what we are teaching at home. A few years ago, Alpha Omega Publishers released an animated ...
Review: Princess Stories
Sweet Pea loves it when I review princess books. So much so that she will ask if I have a new one yet. Princess Stories: Real Bible Stories of God's Princesses by Carolyn Larson is the latest in the list. Twenty-nine Bible princesses fill this book's 120 pages. Each section begins with a poem: "Mirror, mirror on the wall" and goes on to ...
Review: Every Which Way to Pray
We have had so much fun reading this book! Every Which Way to Pray (Everyday Zoo) by Joyce Meyer is precious. Love the plot, illustrations, and humor. Hayley and Harley Hippo believe that they know everything there is to know about prayer. Harley has the book The Rules of Prayer. Through the help of several Everyday ...
Review: The Pocket Bible Doodle Books
My kids are begging for me to write this review so that I will finally release these two books into their care. The Pocket Bible Doodle Book: Pocket-sized edition are too cool. Think Bible and drawing and you will have a pretty good idea of what this little jewel is. The Pocket Bible Doodle Book "allows kids to ...
Review: Friendship for Grownups
While at the Kansas City Women's of Faith Conference last fall, I had the opportunity to hear Lisa Whelchel speak. I was anxious to hear her because I enjoyed and have suggested her book Creative Corrections several times. Lisa is a great speaker. She relates to the audience in a way that makes you feel like a small group instead ...
Review: The Beginner’s Bible Book of Prayers
Honesty here. Not like I am not typically honest but just to state a point. I do not like books of prayers. I find them boring to read and my kiddos find them boring to listen to. Typically, they have precious illustrations but I fail to see the point. This book of prayers changed my mind. The Beginner's Bible Book ...
Review: Come on Over!
I am going to be honest. I have been putting off writing this review. I find myself in a very unusual situation. To put it simply...I don't know what to say. I can't decide if I like these two DVD's or not! So, I am going to tell you about them and then hopefully at the end you will be able to come ...
Luvs to Longing
The UPS truck comes to my house during nap time. Since this is my work time, I typically hear it pull into the driveway. I am sure that my delivery guy thinks I have major spending issues as he comes most days to deliver something. Unbeknownst to him, most things are review products. But a several weeks ago, ...
Review: When God Created My Toes
When God Created My Toes (Dandilion Rhymes) is the latest in my children's book reviews and the second review of a Dandi Daley Mackall book. Previously I reviewed the book, God Loves Me More Than That. I love the cover illustration of beautiful feet and was drawn in by the title. The first pages gathered giggled from my ...
