Brave Girls Bible Stories Book Review and Giveaway

Image
Why not join Hope, Gracie, Glory, Faith, and Honor and they go through the Bible and see why they can be brave too. Women in the Bible were brave. God helped them become the strong, brave women that they were. Our girls can be that way too! I am not a very brave person. I tend to hide behind my husband. But I have tried raising strong girls. I sometimes envy women I see with lots of bravery. I love Ruth and Esther's stories. Brave Girls shows you so many strong and brave women of the Bible. Some you might know and well, some you may not. But all the stories are written in a way that it is like the women are telling you their stories. This book is very easy to follow and great Mommy/daughter time. Meet Hope Ready for a game of football? Yeah, I know I’m a girl. And girls aren’t supposed to play football, right? Well, you haven’t seen me with my brothers. Every Saturday afternoon we’re out in the yard playing flag football with our neighbors. And if it isn’t football, it’s...

Little Critters Being Thankful and We All Need Forgiveness Board Books Giveaway

Image
Being thankful for the things that you have is a interesting concept in children. Children tend to always want everything. As adults we see that what we have is what God wants us to have. I have to say since we don't always have, at our house, we have taught thankfulness since the very start. Our youngest just turned 2 and I am very thankful that she is already starting the "tainshoo" when she gets something she wants. In our house the phrase "we can't afford it right now" is very common thing. Little Critters Books are so great at helping teach those, well needed, lessons to our children.

Nuby Fruitsicle Popsicle Molds Review and Giveaway

Image
Now the toddlers can be just like the big kids! My older kids run around with the popsicles that are shaped like tubes. It is really hard for our 2 year old to use them. She can't figure out how to raise the ice with each bite. She also can't use scissors to crop off the top of the plastic as she goes along. We have also tried the $ store frozen popsicle makers, too big. Nuby just came out with the perfect item for our toddler! Toddler size popsicle trays! The bright colors caught her eyes the minute we pulled the tray out of the box. Each color is bright and shiny just like the rest. Boy and girls colors so they aren't too boyish or too girlie. Although, now, I can't keep my older kids out of her popsicles. I guess they never really grow up. We have tried apple juice, white grape juice, grape Kool-Aid and even just water. Not only are these a great summer time item to have but are great for teething toddlers. We have given these to her when we find her roam...

Nuby NEW Juice Box Holder Review

Image
Check out this super cool NEW item! I loved it from the minute I spotted it. Our little one absolutely loves to be like the big kids. I would give her the juice boxes and pouches and she would immediately squeeze, resulting in juice or milk everywhere! Such a pain. I am super stoked about Nuby coming out with this juice box holder. You can't just drop the box in or take it out. The box fits nice and snug so the kids can't just remove it themselves. Our 2 year old LOVES this product. No more squeezed out spills.. At this moment you can only purchase from Amazon.com http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00M4VCKXS/?tag=cheapbabycare-20 This Juice box holder is shaped like a peeling banana which is perfect so that little hands can grip the "peels". The green base has a non slip grip to it. Just all around, no more spills. You can toss this in the dishwashers top shelf and it will still be in perfect shape when it comes out. Just push the box back out by the hole in th...
