Night Night Daddy Board Book

Image
My older kids love camping with Daddy. They look forward, all winter, to their first camp out of the season. Each one has had their special time fishing with Daddy. I am not the camper or the fisher in this house! Our 3 year old keeps begging to go fishing with Daddy. I think she may get to go this year. But until then, her favorite thing to do with Daddy is her prayers. Daddy does her prayers with her every night before she goes to bed. If we are apart then she does them over the phone. This book shows raccoon daddy and child as they go through their bedtime routine. In the end, prayers and sleep. So cute! Daddy time is very important, too!

Night Night Mommy Board Book

My 3 year old makes me read her the "Mommy" book, over and over again. This book is so cute. I love the otter mommy and child. I am glad that it doesn't gender specify. I have an 8 year old son so loves Mommy to read to him too. The book has a routine that is really close to ours. Dinner, bath, snuggles and prayers. The dynamic between the otter and her pup is something to smile about! With rhyming verse. Kids love to hear the pages that rhyme.

The London Day School Character Education Books

Koby- the little blue kangaroo who worried all day As I am an adult worrier, I loved this little book. Koby would spend his days worrying about this and that. He didn't want to worry but it always happened. One day his mom asked him what was worrying him. When Koby started to tell her that he was wasting his days away and how to change that, Koby started to enjoy his time. Little by little, he changed his ways. The pictures were so cute and the story line was great! Perfect for those little ones to hear or to read. $9.15 http://www.amazon.com/Little-Kangaroo-Worried-Kobys-Books/dp/1512076201/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1459781461&sr=1-1&keywords=koby+the+little+blue+kangaroo Betsie Bee- the little bee who learned to share and care in preschool Betsie Bee is used to sleeping in and having all her toys to herself.

Book The Adventures of Camp Nana Papa

Image
I was so excited to get this book to review. Having family is a huge thing in our house. I didn't grow up near my grandparents. I saw them, at most, once a year. I was so jealous of my cousins, who almost all lived near them. We have worked very hard to make sure that our kids are close to their grandparents. Camp Nana Papa is just that. Every time these 2 kids go to their grandma and grandpas, they call it going to Camp Nana Papa. The kids enjoy their time with their Nana and Papa. I love that 2 pages in it says that lots of their friends call their grandparents something different. Our grandbaby "calls" us Grammie and Papi. My children call their grandparent Grandpa or Grandma (insert name here). My husband has parents and step parents so it get a little confusing. But they call my mom Gammie. I called mine Mamamaw and Papapaw. It all just depends on the family. I have a cousin who gets called Mimi. So in every child's heart is that special place just for them

Good Night Little Love Board Book Review

Image
I think that every parent has a way to make sure that their child knows they love them. God shows us every day, how much! In this cute board book the Mommy bunny and the baby bunny have their nightly routine. The Mommy says "Good night little love" on each page. The rhyming page then tells the baby bunny when she loves her. The cover was a big draw for this book. Glitter and foil with raised texture. Add this to your bedtime books and watch your child enjoy being told how you love them. Add your own reasons to spice it up a little.

Grace For the Moment Review for Adult and Matching Childs Devotionals

Image
I think that everyone has heard of Max Lucado. He has so many wonderful books and ministerial pieces. I've listened to him on the radio ever since I can remember. He is very interesting to listen to. His books are a great read. I was excited when I got to review one of his devotionals. I love to have a variety of devotionals. I like to switch them up or to read more than 1 to see what they have for me to learn that day. The cover of the adult devotional is a very simple yet thought provoking one. There is a tan cover with a single tree at the top. Sort of makes me think of the tree in the Garden of Eden. So I love the cover. The children's version is definitely that. It is a cartoon cover with a tree with a tree house in it. Makes you think, doesn't it. Each of the children's book pages are a serene color of blue. The scripture is at the top and then a devotional and then a Growing in Grace saying. The adult version has a verse and then a devotional. Check it out and

Jesus Calling Devotional Book for Adults and Children

Image
I like my devotions to have the scripture printed out for me. I guess I'm a lazy devotion reader. I lost my Bible in one of our moves and haven't replaced it yet. With this set, we had to look up the verse that goes with the devotional. Sarah Young, the author, did a great job in the smoothness of her writing.  The devotions are easy to read and the pictures in the children's book are cute. I love that she made parent and children's books. Helps teach your child the importance of time with God. You can purchase both of these from amazon The adult version is $8.43 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1591451884?keywords=jesus%20calling%20by%20sarah%20young&qid=1450544495&ref_=sr_1_1&s=books&sr=1-1 The children's version is $8.89 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1400316340?keywords=jesus%20calling%20by%20sarah%20young&qid=1450544495&ref_=sr_1_6&s=books&sr=1-6 Check out all their other great books at https://www.facebook.

Personalized Adult Coloring Book by Put Me In The Story

Image
I am all about the unique items this year. I'm not sure if you have noticed this with all the reviews I have done. I love to color so this was the perfect product for me. I have colored since I was really little. It is so relaxing to just sit and put that crayon or colored pencil to the page. Have you tried it, as an adult? My family all knows how relaxing it is for me. My aunt, for my 16 or 18th birthday, sent me a large Crayola caddy. It was like bliss in a box. However, until recently, all you could find to color were the children's character books. I have colored a bunch of My Little Pony's and Littlest Pet Shop over the years. It is nice that they have started the adult coloring book craze. What do you get for the person on your list that has everything? Why not pick this unique gift. This is so neat. The front cover has your name on it. For me, it said "Tracee Keep Calm and Color On". The peaches and blues on the front are so calming. I think the

Twenty Things Adopted Kids Wish- A Daily Devotional for Adoptive and Birth Parents

I love my devotionals. I have 3, at this moment. I vary as to which one I will read and when. I was so excited to fin out that they have one just for me! Well, all adoptive and birth parents. Sherrie Eldridge, the author, is and internationally recognized adoption speaker. She has authored more than 5 books about adoption. Twenty Things Adopted Kids Wish Their Adoptive Parent Knew. She was adopted herself and understands that perspective. 1 of her grandchildren joined their family through adoption. We got our little girl when she was 3 weeks old. However, her adoption was not finalized till she was 2. She is still young and it makes me very nervous for the day that we have to tell her the story of her beginning. We knew her biological mom, so lots of the not knowing, does not count for her. But, we did not know the biological dad. It is definitely a different thing for our family. She has never not been a part of it though. We have such a strange story. If you are looking

A Very Merry Christmas Prayer

Image
We try to teach our kids to be thankful for everything and anything. This is such a thankless world. A Very Merry Christmas Prayer is just that. It starts out with "Here's My Merry Christmas Prayer" Each page is different things to pray and thank God for. Such cute pictures. Although the pages made me cold, they all have snow on them. Brrrr This 24 page board book is unique in design. The front cover is a bunch of winter dressed animals who are putting up the tree. The right side of the book is cut to look like the side of the tree. So unique. Our little girl loves to rub the design. It is wonderful to teach our children about all the things that God has done. Christmas isn't just about gifts, it's about the birth of Jesus.

I Prayed For You by Jean Fischer

Image
My husband and I had the hardest time in trying to have children. I prayed every night that God would allow me to have a child. I wanted 6 little angels to love and hug. Throughout 8 miscarriages, I carried the prayer for those 6 children. After I almost died having child #5, I had to get fixed. My heart was broken. I desperately wanted 6. After years and years of praying for the 6th child, God answered my prayer with the adoption on our youngest angel. As Moms and Dads, Grandmas and Grandpas, we pray for these children's safety everyday. We pray that they don't get hurt. We pray that no one picks on them. We pray that they are safe and wear seatbelts (when they learn to drive). We can not be with our children 24 hours a day. God can! So we pray that He will go with them and keep them safe. This little cardboard book shows children that they are prayed for. Follow Momma bear and her cub through their days. I love this book due to it could be a great one for adopted ch

Pumpkinheads Book Series for Kids

Image
The 1st book, that I received, was Peanut's Mistake by Karen Kilpatrick This specific Pumpkinheads adventure is with Peanut the dog and Carmin. Peanut knows not to run in the house and yet he does. He gets so excited running after a ball that he knocks the shelf over and breaks a vase. He gets so upset that he runs off and hides. Carmin comes through and doesn't see the mess. She walks through and trips over the mess, she then gets it all over her dress. She is very upset and gets ready to go and scold Peanut. Trying to find him is difficult until she sees his dirty paw prints. She follows them all the way to under the bed. After he comes out Carmin shows him that everyone makes mistakes and she still loves him. They clean up the mess, together. The last couple pages are questions " What do you do when you make a messy mistake"? Different kids have different answers but Carmin and Peanut say "We clean it up"! Everyone makes mistakes. So what can

Put Me In The Story- Adoption Book Review

I can not even express in this review what a neat book this is....I cried through typing in all the information on their site. The front of the book, in itself, is perfect! My cover says " I Wished For You, Alivia" and adoption story Underneath a picture of a Mommy bear and a little bear it says "Made Special For Alivia" " Made Special By Mom" So super special and a book that she can have forever. The cover is made in hard back and the pages are regular heavy duty paper. In our story, I couldn't have any more kids. I always dreamt of having 6 kids. I had to beg my husband to let me have #5 as I didn't not have good pregnancies. We had 4 miscarriages before we even had kids and then 4 more intermingled between the kids. My body hates pregnancy. Well, my husband gave into be have #5. It was the roughest pregnancy I had and he came a month early. He was perfect though. I don't think he got the preemie memo...But me on the other hand almo
