Far Flutterby *Review*

Image
By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!

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!  :)

Common Mistakes Made When Writing a Will

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
  Writing a will should, by all means, be a simple thing. You want to make sure that your assets are being left to your loved ones and that your final wishes are being fulfilled. Usually, they are rather straightforward, but that doesn’t mean that they are entirely foolproof. Here, we’re going to look at some common issues that can lead to disputes or delays in carrying out your will. Image - CC0 License Not Having It Witnessed Correctly One of the most common mistakes when writing a will is not having it witnessed correctly. Wills generally require the signatures of at least two witnesses who are not beneficiaries or spouses of beneficiaries. If the will is not witnessed in accordance with legal requirements, it may be declared invalid, meaning your estate would be distributed according to intestacy laws, which may not align with your wishes.
