This month, Tommy Nelson sent me a copy of a new Bible, for review. From the moment the package arrived in the mail, my 9 year old son has been itching to get his hands on my copy!! I have done some other Bible reviews before but this one has really captured his interest. I was amused to…
Year: 2016
Exodus 20
Exodus 20 is our latest scripture memory passages. A number of months back, our pastor was teaching through this section. Each week, someone would volunteer to recite this section of scripture. My older children knew The 10 Commandments. Some of my middle kiddos had to work a bit on it and my littles were learning just from listening to the…
We Have a Winner! – Good Good Father
We have a winner for Good Good Father! Congratulations, Marcy! 😀 I hope you will enjoy your copy of Good Good Father. In my original post, I mentioned I had not heard this song. I have noticed since reading this book I’m hearing the song more when I’m out and listening to the radio. Great book and wonderful song! Thank…
Tobias at 5 Months
Yep. It always goes by so fast. Toby is already 5 months old. These months with a little baby are so different than they were when I was a younger mama. In those days, it seemed endless…lots of sleepless nights. Diapers, diapers and more diapers. Now the days go by so fast. They seem to grow overnight. (He looked like…
Book Review- Good Good Father by Chris Tomlin
Based on the song, “Good Good Father”, this week, I’m reviewing Good Good Father by Chris Tomlin and Pat Barrett, published by Tommy Nelson. I had not heard this song before this week. I am realizing I must have had my head stuck in the sand, or something. Everyone except me seems to be familiar with it- I can…
NKJV Color Code Bible
This month, I received the NKJV Color Code Bible for review through the Tommy Mommies program! This was a different review for me- while I liked many parts and features of this Bible, there were some that didn’t make sense to me, at all. The parts I liked- the color coded sections are very similar to the coding I do…
The Look and Tell Bible
This month I received a copy of The Look and Tell Bible from Tommy Nelson. The title is a little misleading. This isn’t a Bible. This is a book of Bible stories that have been simplified for little ones. I adore adding new board books to our collection. At various times through the day, it’s just helpful to have a…
I Believe in Jesus
I Believe in Jesus (Leading Your Child to Christ), arrived at my home this month. It happens that we are busy preparing for our new homeschooling year. Paul and I usually tweak schedules, and create a list of goals and expectations we have for our family. Always, our goal is to continue to teach faith to our children. We want…
After A Long Silence-
After a long silence, I’m trying to fit in time to update my blog. Seasons are passing so quickly for me these days. (Don’t they always?) The new baby (my precious Toby), is now three months old. Courtney is in a courtship. He has been with us each day, the entire last month. I like him a whole lot. He…
Book Review: I Can Learn to Pray
Do you find yourself praying through the day? I have noticed it is a habit I have formed in recent years. I’ve also tried to start making it a habit to pray immediately with my children when they come to me with a problem. I want to make sure they know that the first place we should turn when we…
Book Review: Really Woolly Good Night, God
I adore these Really Woolly characters! I’ve reviewed a book for them before, and was excited to receive another this month: Really Woolly Good Night, God. As I read through the pages, each selection echoed what I have been sharing with my own children- it’s important to look around you all the time, and realize you have much for which…
Book Review: Night Night, Daddy and Night Night, Mommy
As I prepare for the newest member of our family to arrive in just a little over a week, I’ve been contemplating how to spend my recovery time. Bedtime reading is a particularly relaxing and sweet part of the day since the business of the day is over and we are preparing to rest. While nursing and snuggling a tiny…
