Day 30: Hands on Play-Keep on playin


DAY 30 CHALLENGE:

KEEP ON PLAYING!
Today is the final day of the 30 Days to Hands on Play Challenge.

What have you learned from this hands on play challenge?
I have learned that no matter how busy my day can get I can always make time for 15 minutes of uninterrupted play with my 2 awesome children!  It was very hard at times for me to focus on playing when I knew I should clean this, or cook this, or try to hop on my computer for some me time, or what ever other distraction I have.  No matter what the house will always need cleaning and my children just keep growing too quickly so I was taught to SLOW down and enjoy each moment with them.  

I have to admit that during this month I took 559 pictures and most of those are from play challenges!  :)  That was the only technology around that I allowed myself to have during the play challenge.  :)  What can I say... I heart pictures and memories.  

I have also learned that no matter what I am doing with my older daughter I can somehow still get my youngest involved with us even if he is an observer.  


DAY 30 CHALLENGE:
Keep challenging yourself to do what we've been doing every day. Spend at least 15 minutes with your child playing! You've got the ideas now from the past 30 days, now expand upon those and keep the play going in your house!

I will continue to have our 15 minutes per day.  I have a few ideas for play in my head that I am looking forward to doing and sharing with you all in the future.  :)  This next month we will be keeping a Christmas theme and am very excited to get started.  :)  We are also going to be doing the 24 days of Counting down to Christmas. :) Hope you can join in that fun too as 24 bloggers will be sharing a new idea each day.  :)  I have also been doing an Advent activity each day since Sunday which will be each day until Christmas.  :) I hope to have a few crafts to go along with the bible lesson so keep your eyes peeled.  :)

Hope you enjoyed reading and seeing our pictures on our 30 days of hands on play challenge!  :)

"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. Each of The Reading Game's six stories is told using just thirty new words.  These are broken down into six sets of five words.  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...

Timeless Truth Bible - Blogger Review #timelesstruths #biblegram #bible #Christianbookstagram

About this Bible: The Christian faith is founded upon an unchanging and unceasing confession: that “Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father” (Philippians 2:11). This is the confession upon which all our hope, and all our joy, rests. The  Timeless Truths Bible  will encourage you in this truth through the wisdom of those who came before us with: Devotional notes and commentary from trusted theologians and pastors from the second century up to the twentieth to stir your affections. Ancient creeds and confessions of the faith to grow your understanding of what we believe—and have always believed. Artwork made throughout the history of Christianity to deepen your worship of God. My Review: I have a full house often being a pastor and now that we have a bonus daughter with us she is the blessed one to receive this Bible.  She has been desiring a bible to take notes in so when she saw margins she was pretty excited.  Then with the leather she was more exci...
