Encouraging our Children in new interests!

On Memorial Day our family walked up the smaller mountain we have here in Wisconsin. :) It was a great family walk and fun picnic at the top of a beautiful view:

As we started the hike back down we turned our walk to a run. After we got half way down my daughter requested to run with us. She impressed both my husband and myself. She ran and ran and her coordination was great!! :) I was so thrilled! She was running in sandals and a dress so I knew a shopping trip was in store for us to find running shoes and outfit for her!

3 hours of searching for the right shoes this is what we found:

After we got home she immediately put it on. We waited and waited for daddy to arrive home. I absolutely enjoyed my husbands enthusiasm when he saw his daughter. He was so encouraging and full of compliments. :) It melted my heart.... I love him so much, and I adore watching him being a daddy. :)

Soon after the hubby and I had to change because Selah was anxiously waiting to go for a run in her new shoes. :) So here is the SHOCKING part we ran... 1.21 miles! :) Her first run in her new shoes and she impressed us so so much!!! :) :)

I am looking forward to a running partner! :) :) In fact I signed her up for a half mile run in 2 weeks and I will be running a 5K. :)

It is a joy to watch my children in new talents. Running may not seem like much to many but to me I sit back and think if this is a talent that God is blessing my daughter with then how can she use it to Glorify God? How can I help her in this talent?

A lot for me to reflect on. I love it and I LOVE GOD!

YAY! My oldest is a lot like Selah. He ran a .5 mile kids race also. Funny cause he can outrun all his older cousins not by speed but by endurance :) Have fun with your running partner.

Knot Genie Review and Giveaway

If you have a little girl and have not heard of the Knot Genie then you need to watch the following video: "The Knot Genie™ and Teeny Genie™ Detangling Brushes were created for every mom that has endured the foot stomping and screaming matches that come with brushing their child's hair. With the Knot Genie, even the curliest, most knotted up hair practically slips through the unique bristle configuration – gently and painlessly. Try the Knot Genie on your kids (or on yourself) – you'll be amazed by the ease of brushing, as well as how it virtually stops breakage and split ends. You've wished for hair brushing standoffs to end. Wish granted." My Review: Thanks to the Knot Genie for sending me the product to conduct my review. I was not paid for this review and all opinions expressed are 100% mine. I know I have grown so tired of my daughter coming to tears every morning when we did her hair. I was becoming to think she was the most

Dry Idea: Deodorant Review and Giveaway

I know most of you know I was at kids camp last week and I think I mentioned the humidity and heat that we had that week! I was daring as I only brought my new Dry Idea deodorant that I had never used prior. I had no idea if it was going to keep me from smelling like B.O or if I was going to have sweaty pits. So how did the Dry Idea hold up to the hot and humid days at kids camp??? Arms raised high during worship in the morning and in the evening! :) I was dry and I did not stink! :) WOOT WOOT! I had the unscented brand and I usually do prefer a pretty scent but it worked and they do have scents which include powder fresh and cotton dry that I might try in the future. :) The Dry Idea Roll-On is 24 hour protection, fast drying MicroCotton Formula, hypo allergenic, and contains Vitamin E. :) Don't like roll on's?? They do offer Clear Gel and an Invisible Solid. :) Dry Idea provided a free sample of their Advanced Dry roll-On so I could review them. However,
