Book Review: "Easter Sunday"


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.

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,

"The Reading Game" Review and Giveaway

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. Each of The Reading Game's six stories is told using just thirty new words.  These are broken down into six sets of five words.  The student learns to read each set of five words by playing a simple word matching game.  Frequent exposure through play hard wires these words into long-term memory.  Rote learning is transformed into a fast-paced game with a winner every few seconds. After completing Skunk, Game 1, the student has learned five words (can, cat, is, me, not).  Playing Game 2 adds an additional five words (sad, she, stay, this, with). The s
