Window Curtain's

Every time I visit my dad's and we sit down to watch TV we often get a glare form the sun.  He does have window curtains but they are see through and do absolutely no sun blocking.  I always wonder what the point of his curtains are because many times he hangs a blanket over the curtains.  Now how attractive is that in the decor department!

I am not an interior decorator but  I do know several people who are or should be because they have a great eye when they see a space and the potential of a room.  It would be a good idea for me to price curtains out and maybe give my dad the gift of curtains for Christmas so he will not struggle with sun glares any longer.

Are window curtains in style or are blinds a better choice?  I know the way my dad's living room is set up it would make more sense for curtains.  Maybe I should hire a friend to redecorate my dad's living room!

I think the picture I used would be a good option for my dad's living room but I would have to rethink the colors but it is a thicker material so I think the sun would be blocked which is what I am looking for!  :)

we do both. we have wood blinds to block out the sun, but then the curtains are really just for looks not function. i love curtains. i think that they give a room a warm feeling making it more home-y

"The Reading Game" Review and Giveaway

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
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...

Book Review: "God I feel Scared"

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
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...
