Our new adventure in Iowa

Image
By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!

I think you all are aware that we sold our house in Wisconsin and moved this week to Iowa where my husband is the new head pastor of a church here.  It is a fun new adventure but this mom is exhausted and ready for a nice day of rest.  

Here are a couple pictures to showcase our new town.  

We live in the same town as American Pickers, how cool is that!  :)


This is the view from my deck!  Good morning sun and hello Mississippi River!  Or should I say Mississippi's river like my daughter says.  ;)


I hope to show you more pictures once we get more settled.  It has been a lot more work then just unpacking as we are still doing some home improvements on the house. 

My kids are adjusting well but my dog is being a big baby.  She is so confused and is showing some signs of depression.  Time for a long walk for her and some doggy treats.  


I am of to catch some zzz's.   I also have two job interviews on Monday so keep me in your prayers.  I am eager to find out the plans that God has in store for me and my family here in Iowa.  :) 

God bless you!

"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...

Packing for your first ski trip

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
Pexels - CCO Licence So, you're gearing up for your first ski trip and the excitement is as thick as the snow you're about to conquer. But before you can show off those freshly learned pizza and French fry stops, you’ve got to pack.  Packing for a ski trip can feel like preparing for a chilly expedition to the North Pole, but fear not! With these nifty tips, you'll be ready to hit the slopes in style and comfort. 1. Layer Like a Lasagna Think of your ski outfit as a gourmet lasagna: each layer is crucial. Start with a moisture-wicking base layer (yes, that includes thermal underwear) to keep you dry and snug. Over that, layer a warm and breathable mid-layer—think fleece or a wool sweater that can handle the chill. Top it all off with a waterproof and windproof jacket and pants. Remember, it's all about layers that you can add or peel off because sweating while you ski is less fun than a snowball in the face. 2. Keep Those Fingers Cosy Cold hands can ruin a...
