First Day of School- First Grade 2014-2015

Image
By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!

My little girl is not so little any more!   This almost 7 year old is in first grade, she is reading, doing her homework on the bus, and about to loose her two front teeth!  She enjoys playing with her brother, pink, Frozen, singing, church, playing with hair, and playing outside.   She always shows JOY and she always knows when to pray for others.  

I know she loves school and she loves getting older but I am having a hard time seeing her grow up and mature so quickly.   Yes, this will be one of those mushy gooshy mom posts.   I write these posts because I know one day she will enjoy reading about my thoughts and hearing me SAY I LOVE YOU SELAH!!  

We walked into her school to meet her teacher and immediately I wanted to run away and say no summer can't be over yet.   I need more time with my daughter!  Yet, my fear and selfishness was put to the wayside when I saw her excitement to meet her teacher and to go back to school.  You see I only want to protect you from this world, a world where their is pain and hurt.   I know God is telling me to let go and trust him so that is what I do each an every day.   I pray each day for you sweetie!  I pray you will continue to grow deeper in love with Jesus and I pray that you will experience HIS love each and every day.  One of the things I have realized this year is to not take for granted any minute- to stay off my phone or computer and really enjoy every minute with my children- LORD keep holding me to that!  

Dear Selah,

You have been one of the best surprises ever!   Daddy and I didn't even know you were in mommy's belly for a few weeks.   Once we found out though our hearts fell in love with you!   

The day you arrived was scary but thrilling because being a parent is the best privilege but also one of the scariest things at the same time.  

As you went from infant to toddler to preschooler to now first grader it is clear to see God has given you many gifts.   He has made you easy to get along with, He has given you a heart of compassion, He has given you a desire to sing and worship Him,   He has given you boldness to tell people about Him!  He has made you beautiful inside and out!  

I know you were fearfully and wonderfully made and I know you were made on purpose for a purpose with a purpose!   

So little first grader my prayer is that I protect you and keep you away from junk of this world.  I pray you would feel safe every day of your life and I pray that our relationship would continue to grow.   I pray for wisdom and knowledge for each and every situation you face, always ask yourself what would Jesus do in this situation before worrying about what the world does!  

Selah this year you will make a difference in your school but also our church and family!   We love you and we need you! 

To a wonderful first grade year!   

Love you more and more,

Mommy

"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...
