A Season for giving

Christmas time is so fun because I love to give presents. I sometimes like to buy too much for my children but I have done a great job at resisiting this year. Instead of spending spending on things I know they dont need we are trying to find different ways to bless others. We are making some homemade gifts and baking gifts! :)

This year our church is buying goats for families in Haiti! It only costs $40 per goat and provides a huge blessing to a family! I am hoping we hit our goal and get enough money to bless many families in need! :) So if any of you reading this wants to help buy a goat please let me know and leave an email addy in the comment section! :)

What will you be doing to be a giver this year? How can you be the hands and feet of Jesus?

We decided as a family to buy gifts through Heifer International for our extended families and parents this year. The girls have had so much fun looking through the catalog and picking out animals to give. It's also wonderful to watch their minds and hearts grow to include children across the world!

"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 words (sad, she, stay, this, with). The s

Dry Idea: Deodorant Review and Giveaway

I know most of you know I was at kids camp last week and I think I mentioned the humidity and heat that we had that week! I was daring as I only brought my new Dry Idea deodorant that I had never used prior. I had no idea if it was going to keep me from smelling like B.O or if I was going to have sweaty pits. So how did the Dry Idea hold up to the hot and humid days at kids camp??? Arms raised high during worship in the morning and in the evening! :) I was dry and I did not stink! :) WOOT WOOT! I had the unscented brand and I usually do prefer a pretty scent but it worked and they do have scents which include powder fresh and cotton dry that I might try in the future. :) The Dry Idea Roll-On is 24 hour protection, fast drying MicroCotton Formula, hypo allergenic, and contains Vitamin E. :) Don't like roll on's?? They do offer Clear Gel and an Invisible Solid. :) Dry Idea provided a free sample of their Advanced Dry roll-On so I could review them. However,
