This is why I love to blog...

I love blogging so much but I love it when I know I've inspired someone. Inspired them in their walk with God or to be a better parent or even as simple as a craft with their kids or a meal for the family.

Today I received a touching email and I had to share it because it made my morning. I will keep her anonymous but THANK-you for encouraging me to keep sharing! Here is the email:

Hi April! Thank you so much – this is awesome! I am so happy I came across your blog via Twitter – I really enjoy it. I also wanted to you to know how much I enjoyed your post “Forgiveness at 2 am”. I have a little girl close in age to your daughter (mine is almost 4), and I’m embarrassed to admit it, but I haven’t been great about teaching her the concept of forgiveness (well, at home, anyway. She goes to a Christian preschool and she hears it at church – but I need to reinforce it at home too). I guess I figured she’d learn it at age 5/6. Your post inspired me to remember the importance of the Gospel basics (even for preschoolers) and I’m going to get her a special kids’ Bible this week.

God bless!

I pray your daughter will love her new Bible and God continues to grow in her heart and he would guide you as you raise your Princess of the MOST HIGH!

AAAAHHHHH! LOVED IT!!! God- Thanks for all the blessings you continue to shower me with.

"The Reading Game" Review and Giveaway

Description: The first book in The Reading Game learn-to-read series tells the story of a skunk without a stripe who is rejected by the other skunks but finds acceptance among some cats and becomes their defender. It’s told in rhyme, is beautifully illustrated, and is 32 pages long. It will be the first book the student reads, and there are five more to follow in this groundbreaking learn to read program.

The student learns to read each set of five words by playing a simple word matching game. Frequent exposure through play hard wires these words into long-term memory. Rote learning is transformed into a fast-paced game with a winner every few seconds. After completing Skunk, Game 1, the student has learned five words (can, cat, is, me, not). Playing Game 2 adds an additional five w...

Book Review: "God I feel Scared"

Kids have big feelings, but none of their feelings are too big for God. In this picture book from licensed counselor Michelle Nietert and Tama Fortner, young readers will explore what it means to feel scared and discover how to manage their emotions in a healthy way. Scared is a feeling that can be hard to face, but if we listen to it, we can learn things about ourselves. In God, I Feel Scared , children will discover that it’s okay to be scared and that God is with us in all things, including fear. With simple, accessible text, scared becomes an emotion that kids don’t need to avoid and instead something they can use to better understand themselves and grow closer to God. The bright, emotive art by Nomar Perez will draw kids in, and a note in the back provides tips and techniques parents and caregivers can use to help young children process their feelings in a beneficial way. God, I Feel Scared teaches kids ages 4 to 8 how to: Identify the feeling of fear and recognize thin...
