Oriental trading Christmas time



Merry Christmas




Our church, Riverside Foursquare Church, opened their doors last weekend for the Christmas walk.  We had free cookie decorating, crafts, and a bake sale.  

Thanks to Oriental Trading for helping us have the right supplies for 100's of kids to walk through and make a craft.  We made the "God Made you Unique" ornaments as well as the ornaments with sparkly stickers.  The kids loved making them and I liked that they were easy and mess free!   YAY for no mess because you all know that the cookie decorating was a big enough mess.  

Not only did we have the church open but we had our nonprofit tea shop, Royal Tea opened.  Again we are so thankful for Oriental Trading.  We were able to decorate using the beautiful "Noel" and "Joy" light up signs.   Next, to the Christmas tree in the shop, it was very festive. I really love these sings!  I like how they look when the lights are low!  Oh, Christmas time you make my heart happy!

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
