"Whatever You Grow Up to Be" by Karen Kingsbury - Book Review

About the book:

Whatever You Grow Up to Be, by New York Times bestselling author Karen Kingsbury, brings the mother-son relationship into new light, as a young boy discovers the unlimited possibilities God has for his life, while never forgetting the special bond he shares with his mother. “Ten little toes right from the start Make footprints on your mommy’s heart!” The timeless journey of a mother and son is poignantly captured in the story of a boy’s growth from childhood to fatherhood. From birth to football games to college graduation, a mother reminds her son that life is filled with possibilities and that God has a plan for him---whatever he grows up to be!

My Review

I am a fan of Karen Kingsbury! I reviewed her story, "Always Daddy's Princess" about a year ago and you can read that review HERE. Karen Kingsbury has a way of writing to make you envision your son or daughter doing each and everything in the story. As I read the story I become misty eyed and my heart strings are very emotional because as a mom we want to cherish each and every moment with our children.

My son is still a little young to enjoy the book as much as my daughter enjoyed the "Daddy's Little Princess" story. I know he will enjoy it when he gets older. The pictures grabbed his attention very nice and he pointed to the football several times so I know he relates to that picture and as he gets older I know he will relate to more.

One feature that I enjoy is the Bible verses that are included on each page that fit right in with the story! They remind me how blessed I am to be a parent and the verses also help encourage mothers.

This book was released in February so pick up your copy today from Zondervan.

I was provided a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are 100% mine and I was not paid for this review.

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,
