"Whatever You Grow Up to Be" by Karen Kingsbury - Book Review

About the book:

Whatever You Grow Up to Be, by New York Times bestselling author Karen Kingsbury, brings the mother-son relationship into new light, as a young boy discovers the unlimited possibilities God has for his life, while never forgetting the special bond he shares with his mother. “Ten little toes right from the start Make footprints on your mommy’s heart!” The timeless journey of a mother and son is poignantly captured in the story of a boy’s growth from childhood to fatherhood. From birth to football games to college graduation, a mother reminds her son that life is filled with possibilities and that God has a plan for him---whatever he grows up to be!

My Review

I am a fan of Karen Kingsbury! I reviewed her story, "Always Daddy's Princess" about a year ago and you can read that review HERE. Karen Kingsbury has a way of writing to make you envision your son or daughter doing each and everything in the story. As I read the story I become misty eyed and my heart strings are very emotional because as a mom we want to cherish each and every moment with our children.

My son is still a little young to enjoy the book as much as my daughter enjoyed the "Daddy's Little Princess" story. I know he will enjoy it when he gets older. The pictures grabbed his attention very nice and he pointed to the football several times so I know he relates to that picture and as he gets older I know he will relate to more.

One feature that I enjoy is the Bible verses that are included on each page that fit right in with the story! They remind me how blessed I am to be a parent and the verses also help encourage mothers.

This book was released in February so pick up your copy today from Zondervan.

I was provided a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are 100% mine and I was not paid for this review.

"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,
