Titus 7th Birthday- Nerf

HAPPY 7th Birthday TITUS!!!!

It was a success! No injuries and kids had fun! WINNING for me as a parent! ;)

On a more serious note- I have to admit I was a bit worried to throw my son a nerf party. With all the political drama around gun control and student safety, I was worried that doing a NERF themed party would upset a parent. However, no one seemed bothered and no one brought it up. Let's be honest- nerf guns is like a fun way to play dodgeball or tag, which were a couple of the games we did play.

I'm so thankful Titus had fun and that he has great friends!

Dear Tman,

A couple weeks ago I told you I heard on the radio that we all need, "12 hugs a day!" (It truly was a study- 4 hugs to survive, 8 to maintain, and 12 to grow) I am happy to report that you took this as a serious task every day since hearing that. I think it has doubled my hugs with you each day and that is putting me in a good mood for sure!

This last year, you have grown up! You have gotten taller- you might not feel it as you are still smaller in your grade but trust me you are growing out of your clothes! This year you became a fluent reader- you enjoy it now! You are a leader and friend to all in your class. You make me proud of you all the time.

Soon soccer season is going to start and I will be an official Soccer mom as we will carpool a friend with us! Thanks for giving me that title! Life would be boring without you in it!

We love you so much!

Love,

Mom

"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,
