Far Flutterby *Review*

Far Flutterby Review

Far Flutterby was written for young readers aged 4-7 and written by Karen Kingsbury and illustrated by Jennifer A. Bell. Far Flutter introduces Cody the caterpillar in the town of Better-than-Brown. Cody longs for something more from life than being stuck on the ground watching others fly about. But, with a little faith and patience, he realizes God has bigger and better plan for him, one which will give him wings and make him a butterfly so he can take off to anywhere he wishes, including the wonderful land of Far Flutterby.

Far Flutterby is a whimsical read that will inspire children (and parents) to have faith that their dreams will be realized. Young readers will learn that God has a plan for them filled with wondrous things. Like Cody, they will also find that through hard times, comes wings, as long as they have faith in God.

My Review:
This is a beautiful story! I love the vibrant pictures with bright colors but the message is wonderful. This is a great book to read to children but at the same time this is a great book to use to cheer someone up or encourage them too! I loved reading it to my children but as I was reading I was thinking of a person who I think I could use this book as a way to encourage them. :) The best thing to remember is God has a plan for each and everyone of us! What a powerful and awesome message to get to everyone. :) Remember keep the faith and trust God. I am so happy to have this book in my library! :)

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,
