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?

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.  :)
