Book Review: "The Legend of the Sand Dollar"

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy! -
Book Description: 
This newly illustrated edition of The Legend of the Sand Dollar renews the wonder and charm of the original and timeless tale written by Chris Auer. With new vibrant artwork from Bad Dog, Marley illustrator, Richard Cowdrey, this holiday classic is brought to life for a new generation. The Legend of the Sand Dollar tells the story of Kerry, as her cousin Jack reveals to her the deeper meaning of Easter hidden within something as small as a sand dollar. This Easter tale reminds everyone everywhere that when Jesus died for us and was resurrected, he promised hope for all.

 My Review:
Thanks Zondervan for sending me this book for free in exchange for an honest review.   All opinions expressed are 100% mine.  Easter is coming!!!  I love spring and I love celebrating the death and resurrection of my Savior!  

 "The Legend of the Sand Dollar" is an adorable story that takes a look deeper at a sand dollar and retells the most important story of all... JESUS!   I think this story would be the perfect one to share on Easter or put in your child's Easter basket.  

 This story has been around for a few years however it is newly updated with new art.   I loved the cover with the bright sunset colors and of course the beagle puppy they used too.... dog lover here! 

 The reason I love this story so much is because it takes a tangible item we can see and then retells such a powerful story that it gives you all the good feels when you focus on Jesus's life, death, and resurrection!  

 Hurry now and get this book now for your Easter Celebrations!   Tell me, what are your Easter plans?

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.  :)

Beating the Heat with Ice Cube Painting

I LOVE LOVE LOVE being a mom!  I love that my daughter is at a age where she wants to do arts n crafts and is a little sponge learning and trying new things.  
With the heat of the week I wanted another activity that would help keep us cool.  Ice cube painting was a great idea for 90 degree days with lots of humidity.   
Not only was this fun but very easy to make.  All I did was put water in my ice cube tray and then added food coloring and then put in the freezer.  SUPER FUN AND EXTREMELY EASY!  
Selah's face she makes when she is concentrating.  
Her first drawing on paper.   
This is an old dish towel that I did not use anymore.  
You could set the ice cube in one spot and let it melt for a little bit and then move it.  It created a very neat tye-dye look.  :)  I LOVED IT!  Selah had so much fun moving the ice cubes around.  :) 
Her name kinda disappeared but this looks so cool!  I love love love it!  :) 
We want to do this again!  :)
