My Review:
Thank you Zondervan for sending me this book in exchange for an honest review.   All opinions are 100% mine and I was not paid for this review.   

Over the last couple years I have had the opportunity to review some great children's bibles and stories.  This one keeps standing out the most!!! As soon as I opened the book I fell in love with the artwork by Jago!  I feel like his artwork truly is hard to express in words so I included a couple of them below...pictures of the picture truly don't capture the beauty.  




I think they way the illustrator uses shadows and colors just somehow create the perfect emotions for the devotionals.  

Since I have read several Bibles to my children this devotional is taking some of those stories an helping them apply the messages in a more personal way.   The devotionals are short but can provide several minutes of discussion for a family.  

The deluxe version comes with CD's to listen to each devotional.  I personally still prefer to read them with my children but I can totally use the CD's during play time for extra listening to them.  This devotional is a great tool to pair with the Jesus Storybook Bible.  You can read my review of the Jesus Storybook Bible  HERE.

"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 words (sad, she, stay, this, with). The s

Dry Idea: Deodorant Review and Giveaway

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
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,
