Book Review: "Easter Sunday"

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy! -

Book Description:
The Bear Family, all of their friends and family, and even the nature all around them get dressed in their Easter best for an Easter Sunday celebration at the Chapel in the Woods. Join Mama, Papa, Brother, sisters and Honey as they go to services, have an Easter treasure hunt, and learn what Easter is all about.

My Review:
March has arrived and this year we celebrate our Risen Savior a day after my birthday!   I love spring, I love Easter, I love Jesus! 

This adorable Berenstain Bear book brings you to their Easter service at the Bear Chapel to celebrate Jesus!   There is some great traditions in the Bears church service from and organ playing, to seeing stained glass windows, to the hymns the Bears sing.   Depending on how your church services are run this book can create some great discussions about how churches do different things.  

The story continues with a fun egg hunt and the Bears realizing more about spring and the true meaning of Easter.   The book does have a hint of worry but as the book states, "But others thing that as long as you remember that Easter eggs and bunnies and candy don't really have anything to do with Jesus and Easter, it's okay."   Meaning keeping Christ as the true reason for celebrating and not the other things!   

Easter is a time to celebrate as we have a Savior who died and rose again!   AMEN!   So yes our family does have fun with eggs and candy but we do keep our focus on Jesus!  Hope you think about adding this book to your library to share with your kids at Easter time.  

Thanks Zondervan for sending me this book for free in exchange for an honest review.   I was not paid for this review and all opinions are my own.

The Marriage Manual: 3 Secrets To A Happy And Lasting Marriage

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy! -

Well, you have gone and done it! You’ve stood across from the love of your life and made your vows in front of your family, friends, and God. You’ve entered into the contract of marriage, but while it may be a solemn contract, that certainly doesn’t mean that it shouldn’t be fun. It’s strange how many newlyweds expect life to undergo some kind of seismic shift upon tying the knot, assuming that their lives will not become a pattern of domestic drudgery with pleasure, intimacy and fun going out the window and that elusive spark between you fading away until you either can’t stand the sight of each other or are happy to tick over despite the grinding mutual resentment. Happily, the truth is that marriage is neither a ball and chain nor a grueling assault course. But like anything worth having, a marriage needs to be maintained.

My daughter got one of those Orbeez bead sets for Christmas.  I was so amazed at how those beads grew in the water.  It was so much fun!  :)  My daughter made her necklaces with the beads but we had a lot more m beads so we have been using them for some fun sensory play.     We put the beads in a dish and we got some glow sticks and put them in the container with the beads.  The beads looked really awesome.  :) My daughter loved it.  She played in the dark with the beads and glow sticks for a long time.  :)
