Praises of a Wife and Mommy

About the book:Every parent dreams of embracing their new child, and when that dream comes true, it's as if all of creation rejoices with them. In the tradition of Nancy Tillman's On The Night You Were Born and Emily Winfield Martin's The Wonderful Things You Will Be comes The Wonder That Is You by critically-acclaimed author Glenys Nellist. This heartwarming picture book beautifully captures the universal love and joy parents feel as they celebrate the arrival of a new child. A perfect gift for baby showers, baptisms, adoptions, birthdays, or any time you want to tell your little one how much they are loved.
My Review: As a parent I really enjoyed this book.   My kids didn't enjoy it as much as me... maybe because I'm there mom and was being a little bit more dramatic.  First off, I love that a mom wrote this reflecting how she felt  when her baby was born.   The words are very poetic and the illustrations leave you feeling warm and fuzzy!   I love my kids and maybe…

With the many commitments, necessities and obligations of daily life, it seems as though we’ve completely disconnected from the idea of downtime. Ask yourself, when did you last go somewhere or do something without bringing along your phone to answer calls, or your laptop to check in on emails?

This mindset has made it difficult for us to truly separate work from personal time. Yet, taking regular breaks to relax and recharge is extremely important for mental health. It replenishes your energy, refreshes your perspective and unleashes your potential to be the best version of yourself. So, here’s how you can take some much-needed quality time off.
Have an Intention

If you have a clear idea of what you want to get out of your downtime, it’ll be more likely that you’ll reach your goals and expectations of how that time is spent. There’s little benefit in doing this on autopilot as you won’t really meet your needs. Knowing what lies ahead also makes the days before your time off that bit mo…

My Reivew: Even the cover of this Bible is pretty and flowery!  I love it!  The extra's in this NIV Bible are perfect for young girls.   My daughter and I love the "Oh, I get it!" sections that pop up all over and give a little extra information to help connect any dots that might have been a little fuzzy.  We also like that this Bible will introduce each chapter with who wrote it, when it was written, where it takes place, people who will be in the chapter, the point of it, how it connects to big picture.  This is a great one to pick up for your tween!
