Meet and Greet: Back to School

Last night we went to my daughters new school to meet her teacher and drop her supplies off. This mommy is having some emotional thoughts as I type this. I am so thrilled and excited for her but kids grow up so quickly and I am trying to hold on to her and keep her little as long as I can.

My daughter seemed a bit scared when we approached the school. After we got out of the car she had a death grip on my hand. It was not what I expected because she has been asking to start school and has been so excited thinking about it.

Tonight she asked God to help her not be shy or nervous for her first day tomorrow... it melted my heart but I know God will be right there with her guiding and directing her steps.

Tomorrow morning is the first day and sadly I have to be at work before her bus even comes. :( The adjustment of working full time is going slowly but it truly is a blessing for me to have this job. I know God has placed me where he wants me! My son has been having a hard time each morning as I leave but I know he will adjust. I am also very blessed to NOT have to put him in full time care. My husbands job allows him to take care of our son and use drop in care as needed. Thankfully my son takes a good nap so my husband can get a lot of his studying and other work then and then we only have drop in care as needed.

I think my daughter will have a great year! We had a great children's church service last Sunday and we really made some declarations and had a great prayer time covering the whole 2013-2014 school year.

Have a blessed 2013-2014 school year!

Look for another post later this week showcasing all the first day of school pictures and summary.

"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,
