Look what I got in the mail for free!!

So one thing I do each week is follow a few different blogs that help me find deals and free things!

My favorite one to visit is Money Saving Mom

Awhile back I signed up for a snowman kit an offer I saw on money saving mom! TODAY it arrived... it was like a Christmas present for my daughter! She is so excited to build a snowman. We live in Wisconsin so a snowman each year is a must. The only down fall is we are in a deep freeze with temps below 0 which mean the snow is not packable at this point so we will have to wait until we get some warm weather and another snowstorm! Trust me we will get more snow and we will be patient. Selah, my daughter, was explaining to me how big her snowman would be. It was very adorable. :)

Here is a picture of the snowman kit. REMEMBER FREE!!! :) It includes: tophat, carrot nose, eyes of coal, and 3 buttons. :) How sweet.

Look for pics in the next few weeks of our snowman once we can get out there and build it! :)

We made these one year as Christmas gifts! It was a requirement that everyone make one and send us a pic =) We used hats and scarves from thrift stores, coal, plastic carrots, and some even had a few accessories like a corn cob pipe! It was fun - hubby's sister even sent us a pic of her snowman in China =) That's cool that you received it for free!! Can't wait to see your snowman!

"The Reading Game" Review and Giveaway

Description: The first book in The Reading Game learn-to-read series tells the story of a skunk without a stripe who is rejected by the other skunks but finds acceptance among some cats and becomes their defender. It’s told in rhyme, is beautifully illustrated, and is 32 pages long. It will be the first book the student reads, and there are five more to follow in this groundbreaking learn to read program. Each of The Reading Game's six stories is told using just thirty new words. These are broken down into six sets of five words. The student learns to read each set of five words by playing a simple word matching game. Frequent exposure through play hard wires these words into long-term memory. Rote learning is transformed into a fast-paced game with a winner every few seconds. After completing Skunk, Game 1, the student has learned five words (can, cat, is, me, not). Playing Game 2 adds an additional five w...

Book Review: "God I feel Scared"

Kids have big feelings, but none of their feelings are too big for God. In this picture book from licensed counselor Michelle Nietert and Tama Fortner, young readers will explore what it means to feel scared and discover how to manage their emotions in a healthy way. Scared is a feeling that can be hard to face, but if we listen to it, we can learn things about ourselves. In God, I Feel Scared , children will discover that it’s okay to be scared and that God is with us in all things, including fear. With simple, accessible text, scared becomes an emotion that kids don’t need to avoid and instead something they can use to better understand themselves and grow closer to God. The bright, emotive art by Nomar Perez will draw kids in, and a note in the back provides tips and techniques parents and caregivers can use to help young children process their feelings in a beneficial way. God, I Feel Scared teaches kids ages 4 to 8 how to: Identify the feeling of fear and recognize thin...
