As his eyes slowly closed,
Once he turned off the light,
Santa whispered at last …
“Merry Christmas, sleep tight.” 
A Christmas Gift for Santa:
  • Is a unique take on the Christmas storiesI 
  • Is an adorable holiday title about Santa Claus
  • Includes delightful rhyming text that the little ones in your life will want to read again and again

My Review:
Going to be real and just say it.... I am disappointed this is a zondervan book.   I may have had high expectations that somehow the author would incorporate the true meaning of Christmas- JESUS Birth but no mention of Jesus.  The tiny stable near the Christmas tree in one picture made me get excited that Santa would learn about Jesus, but nope!  Instead Santa is left looking for his Christmas gift.  Maybe I need to write the story where Santa hears about Jesus instead??  

The rhymes are cute and Mrs. Clause writes a nice hand written card and homemade gift if you need a couple more positives.  

Thanks Zondervan for sending me this book for free in exchange for an honest review.  I was not paid for this and all opinions expressed are 100% my own.

Toddler Rainbow Craft for St. Patricks Day

St. Patrick's day is March 17th so its approaching quickly.  I have a few ideas on art and food projects that i want to do with the kiddos.  Hopefully I will have enough time to complete them and share them with you.   This was a super easy one for those little hands.  I cut the stripes of colored paper but if you are working with a preschooler or school aged child then they can practice cutting.  The two toddler boys here only had to glue the pieces on their piece of paper.  EASY, but they enjoyed it!  :)  It sure has brightened my kitchen with them hanging on the fridge!  :)   I also talked more about the Promise God gave us with the rainbow since I know that history a whole lot better then the history of the Irish Holiday!  

Harlem Globetrotters- A night of Fun! Save 20%

  If you only came here for the discount code then there ya go!  Save 20% at checkout with the code: USFAM!   I will admit that prices seem very costly in my opinion so hopefully this 20% off will really help you.   I was blessed to be able to promote this discount and post about my experience to get free tickets for my family.   I am not sure our budget would be able to afford the tickets... family of four and ticket prices we got were over a $100 each ticket... so it can make for a pricey night.   Then add in if you get snacks, a ball, or a jersey you could spend a hefty paycheck in one evening of fun.    With that said, my family did have a good time.   We saw good talent, we had lots of laughs, we cheered, and we enjoyed watching with each other.   Some would say the Harlem Globetrotters are like the equivalent of WWE but with basketball.   There is a storyline within the game, which helps get the crowd going and cheering.   My 11 year old had the most fun!   He was standing up and
