Mommy and Daughter Journal

My mom passed away when I was 18 years old. To this day when I look through some of her notes in her Bible I get a mix of emotions. I love seeing her hand writing, I love hearing her heart and her prayers, but sometimes it makes for a roller coaster of emotions. I will admit it has been a long time since I have looked through those notes but after I saw an idea to create a journal to go back and forth between my daughter and myself I jumped on the idea and started right away.

My daughter may only be 5 and can't write but she can draw and make sounds and before I know it she will be sounding words out.

The idea for me is to be a constant reminder that I love her, that JESUS loves her, to share my heart and prayers with her so she can go back and reread when ever she has a bad day.

If I had something like this even after 10 years of my mom's passing it would be amazing!! :)

I also think that creating a journal at such a young age with her right now will help keep the communication door open. There might be hard topics she is not comfortable talking about but having a safe journal will be awesome. :)

I already love the one picture she has created for me and I know she will continue to share what ever might be on her little heart.

I encourage you to start a journal with your son or daughter. Once my lil man is older I plan on making another with him. :)

"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.

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...
