Praises of a Wife and Mommy

  I was blessed to get a sneak peak at this movie that hits the theaters next week!   First, bring the tissues as it hits the feels right away.   Second start listening to the sound track because it is wonderful!   Third the overall message is forgiveness and it is beautiful to see it come alive in the 1700s war ridden time!    I don't want to give all the details away but I do think your family would enjoy this film! 

  There are some messages that we need to be reminded of over and over again, and gratitude is definitely one of them. I am daily practicing looking for good and looking for God in big and small moments.   When I first heard Seph Schlueter's song Counting My Blessings , I loved it. It's one of those songs that naturally gets stuck in your head, but more importantly, it reminds you to stop, look around, and recognize just how much God has done.  So when I had the opportunity to read the children's book Counting My Blessings: A Rhyming Story of Joy, Wonder, and Gratitude , I was excited to see how the song would come to life in a picture book.  I was able to get this book for free per a #sponored program with an honest review.  First, the illustrations are absolutely beautiful! Felishia Henditirto does a wonderful job bringing the story to life. The pictures are colorful, thoughtful, and full of little details that make you want to slow down and take everythi...

  #ad — I received this Bible for review as part of the New Living Translation’s 30th anniversary celebration. All opinions are my own. What Bible translation are you using right now—and why is it your preference? As someone who loves the Word of God, I’m always interested in hearing what Bible translation other people are reading. There are so many wonderful translations available, and I think there is something valuable about finding a Bible that helps you consistently engage with Scripture and understand what you are reading. I also value accuracy and keeping the words as close to the original as possible.   For me, the New Living Translation (NLT) has become one of the translations I have really been enjoying. I’ve actually been using the NLT Bible app for quite a while now, including listening to Scripture through one of the available NLT voices. There is something about hearing Scripture read aloud in a translation that is easy to follow that has made it especially ...

  Image Credit: Unsplash Choosing a home as a parent means thinking differently than when you bought your first place alone or as a couple. It’s about balancing your children's immediate needs with your family’s long-term future. This guide will help you find and keep a home that grows with you. Weighing Family Needs in Home Choices When you have kids, a home is much more than just rooms; it's the center of your family's life. Look past basic stats like square footage and really think about the layout. An open-concept living area might be perfect for watching toddlers, while a separate den or finished basement could give teenagers the space they need. Don't forget to check out the neighborhood. Good local schools are often a top priority for parents, who might also look for parent education guidance . Also, consider how close the home is to parks, playgrounds, and community centers. A quiet street with little traffic is a huge plus for safety, and a fenced-in yard gives...

Hey you guys I am so excited to share this book with my readers... Worthy Girl: Believing in God’s BIG Purpose for You by Marshawn Evans Daniels is the book! I honestly got emotional reading it. Maybe part of that is because I’m a mom, and my own little girl is about to turn 19 as well as having a 15 year old boy. How did that happen so fast?! Parents they grow up fast don't take these years for granted, go and get the books and read and talk to them before time runs out! I think the bigger reason this book touched me is because there is so much power in the words we speak over ourselves, over our girls, over our entire family. They say it takes 5 positive comments to cancel a negative one, so trust me you need this positive book to help your kids! This book is filled with positive encouragement and truth on knowing that God has special plans for each of us! Worthy Girl gives parents an opportunity to begin building a little girl's identity on truth... God's truth that p...
