The Berenstain Bears: God Bless Our Home Book Review

About God Bless this Home:
In this wonderful story Mama and Papa bear start discussing needing a bigger house since the family has outgrown the small cozy tree house. When Mama and Papa Bear talk to Brother and Sister Bear they were very reluctant to move from the home they know best. Will the Bear family move or come up with a different way to expand the tree house to make more room.

The Bear family finds the needs of each person in the family and then discuss how to create the room they need. Some of the needs include: Honey Bear needs her own room and Papa Bear needs a place to protect his car from the snow.

God Bless Our Home evokes the true meaning of home, sweet home illustrates the importance of working together as a family. Young readers will learn that a house does not have to be big, beautiful, or expensive because every home is filled with the blessings of God.

My Review:
I have said it before but I absolutely love finding books that leave my kids with a good Biblical lesson. :) We related very well to this story since we did just move out of our little 2 bedroom apartment into a 3 bedroom house. One thing we did was pray over the house similar to the Bear's "God Bless this Home" sign that they place in their house. I think it was very neat to watch the family problem solve and find a way to keep everyone happy. :)

About the Authors:
Stan and Jan Berenstain introduced the first Berenstain Bear books in 1962. Mike Berenstain grew up watching his parents work together to write about and draw these lovable bears. Eventually he started drawing and writing about them too. Since the late 80's, he has been very much involved as a writer and illustrator with his family's creation, the Berenstain Bears. he continued to work with his mother, Jan, creating new books, writing and illustrating up until her death this year. The antics and activities of Mike's three children have provided inspiration for many Berenstain Bears Books over the years. Though Stan and Jan passed away in 2005 and 2012, respectively, Mike continues to create the delightful Bear adventures form their studio in Pennsylvania, in an area that looks much like the sunny dirt road deep in Bear Country.

"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,
