WINTER FEST 2013


 Last weekend was Winter Fest in my town!  :) Yes even in the freezing weather of Wisconsin we can find fun outside!  :) It started out on Friday evening with FIREWORKS.  I think that was the first time I have ever watched fireworks in the winter.  It was a bit chilly but it was worth it and we had a great view of the show.  :)

The next day there were several activities planned out throughout the down town area.  We started out doing some mini golf, yes in the snow!  We actually used a tennis ball instead of a golf ball since there were snow obstacles.  :) My daughter did a great job and I let my lil guy kick the ball and he did better kicking them me swinging.  

After the golfing fun we headed to the main area where they made a huge snow sculpture and slide.  My daughter wanted to keep going down the slide since it was so FUN.  My lil guy was to cold to even want to try the slide.  



There were carriage rides, chili cook-off, free hot cocoa and apple cider, Ice sculpting  free ice skating, cookie decorating, and so much more.  

Sadly my lil guy only lasted about an hour in the cold so we headed home to take a long nap and warm up.  :)


Does your town do any fun winter activities?

"The Reading Game" Review and Giveaway

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
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.

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"

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
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...
