"Everything is Awesome" Lego Birthday- Selah is 8

Happy Birthday Selah!!!!

As you turned 8 this year my heart jumped a few beats... you are half way to getting your license, only a few years before we enter the tweens stage, and I'm sure only a couple more years before you ask if you can have a boyfriend... cause you will ask and we will discuss this! 

This year we had tons of fun with a huge group of friends by creating an interactive Lego movie.  So we had one screen that showed the movie and a smaller screen to show actions throughout the entire movie.   IT WAS SO FUN!!   My husband gets all the props for his techy way!   I could have never pulled off an epic party without him.  WE truly made a great team and made our 8 year old have the "best birthday ever."   
I was extremely happy purchasing some molds from Amazon to make Lego people and bricks.  I used them for cupcakes and a little snack to eat during the movie.  
So when the movie started each friend had a bag of goodies of things they would need throughout the movie- such as ping pong balls, finger light, coloring page, colors, candy!  As a new task was coming up my husband created a video with directions that helped them get ready and do the action or task.   The timing was perfect...it took us roughly 12+ hours to get it right!   IT WAS WORTH it for sure... so many kids had so much fun and it truly was confirmation that we need to do more movie nights at the church.  






It was a great time- kids behaved very well... all 35 of them!   YES, we do have a little bit of crazy in us!  :) Seriously though they behaved so well and we had some friends who were amazing helpers.  Selah was busy filling out thank you cards for hours!  :)

Dear Selah,
I will never forget this amazing fun birthday of yours!   You truly were spoiled on this birthday but you deserve it!   You are a great daughter and sister to your brother!   I see you working hard at school and being a good big sister.   I see you being a role model at church and school.  IT MAKES ME SO PROUD!  I admire your heart and your love that you give so freely! 
I am praying that this next year is filled with more unexpected joy and blessings.   I pray you and I would continue to grow closer together and your relationship with your Jesus would be an unquenchable desire that makes you lean in closer to Him and His word.  I pray I would help you find your gifts and talents and you would be excited to use all of them to further God's kingdom!   I love how at age 8 your identity rests in the hands of your Daddy God.  Keep it there and you will do many big things- you are a world changer with a big calling on your life.  

Love you so much,
Mom

"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...

Common Mistakes Made When Writing a Will

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
  Writing a will should, by all means, be a simple thing. You want to make sure that your assets are being left to your loved ones and that your final wishes are being fulfilled. Usually, they are rather straightforward, but that doesn’t mean that they are entirely foolproof. Here, we’re going to look at some common issues that can lead to disputes or delays in carrying out your will. Image - CC0 License Not Having It Witnessed Correctly One of the most common mistakes when writing a will is not having it witnessed correctly. Wills generally require the signatures of at least two witnesses who are not beneficiaries or spouses of beneficiaries. If the will is not witnessed in accordance with legal requirements, it may be declared invalid, meaning your estate would be distributed according to intestacy laws, which may not align with your wishes. It’s important to follow the witnessing procedures exactly as outlined in your jurisdiction to ensure the will is legally enforceable. Chan...
