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

Wonderkid Safety Locks for Children and Pets

Image
These were the best locks that I have ever come across! I have used a lot of different locks in my 19 years of being a mom. Most of the ones that you can buy from Walmart or Babies R Us are pretty flimsy. These Wonderkid locks are very sturdy! I have been so tired of my daughter walking through the house and she has a new item from the fridge. We have tried numerous ways to keep her out and not one of the ways worked. She just turned 3 and loves to get in to everything. I pulled out these locks and decided to try them on her. Very simple to install. Just pull off the sticker strip and it adheres to whatever surface you are applying it to. Then repeat with the other end. I LOVE these locks! Just to make sure they would withstand my daughter pulling on the door to the fridge and freezer, I had my older daughter stand there pulling and yanking to see if they could withstand the pressure. She literally had herself at an angle hanging onto the handle of the fridge and the locks didn

Jelly Beans and More by Gimbals

Image
We received these candies to test, right in the middle of moving. 1 day we left a couple of our teens at the old house to finish packing up. I made 1 big mistake. I left this bag of jelly beans with them. When I came back, they were complaining about their stomachs hurting...now wait before you jump to conclusions, their stomachs didn't hurt because the candy was gross. It was quite the opposite! The girls said they were so good that they couldn't stop eating them. The 2 girls ate the whole bag by themselves. I didn't get any.  The girls said the taste was great! Definitely a candy they want in the house, again.  This company does not only deal in jelly beans. They sell so many more candies. Check them out at: http://www.gimbalscandy.com/ These jelly beans can be purchased for $9.95 on Amazon.com http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007V3UHG6?keywords=gimbals%20jelly%20beans&qid=1445356727&ref_=sr_1_5&s=grocery&sr=1-5 Best part is you don't have to w

Grandma Kisses Board Book

Image
Tommy Nelson has some pretty awesome books for Children. All are faith based and help children to see the love that God has for them. These books are a great way to start your child's Christian walk. Grandma Kisses is such a cute book full of rhyming pages and pictures of all sorts of different animals. Each page is a new animal grandma with her matching grandbaby. My children have 3 grandmas. All 3 are different and unique. Each one of them does different things with them. It is their special love. One of the grandma's take 1 kid out every other month to eat with her. My mom doesn't get to see the kids as often since she lives out of state. But when she does, she loves to cuddle them and read to them. The childrens other grandma doesn't really get seen. She visits about once a year. They do love when she comes though. I can't wait till my mom comes in a couple weeks. She is going to love this book! I know, as a new grandma, I love this little book. My grandbaby l

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

Count My Blessings 123

Image
Every night my youngest daughter says her prayers with Daddy. She goes through the list of all her siblings and her niece. This book shows little ones how to say thanks. There is a page that says "Thank you, as I get dressed, for which sweater would be best"! I love that it shows children to be thankful for even the clothes that they wear. Hopefully, we as parents, have taught this to our children. God gives us so much to be thankful for, everyday. Each of these pages has a 3D page on the left, that fits into the "indention" on the other page. With our youngest being sensory seeking, this is perfect for her. She gets to feel the pages not just read them. As you can see from the pic she loves this book! Tommy Nelson provides us a way, in books, to show our children about God's love. You can purchase this cute little board book for $7.06 from Amazon.com http://www.amazon.com/Count-Blessings-1-2-3-Thomas-Nelson/dp/0718037871/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1
