Book Review: A Christmas Prayer


I requested "A Christmas Prayer" by Amy Parker from booksneeze.com because I am constantly trying to remind my daughter (and myself) that there is SO much more to Christmas than receiving gifts. I think this book does a fabulous job of telling the real story behind Christmas and encouraging us to be thankful for the gifts that God gave.

The artwork in this book was great and went well with what the story was saying. The story flows well and is straight to the point and not confusing for small children. I haven't read it to my children yet, as I'm saving it for closer to Christmas time, but I think that it will be a book that we will bring out around Christmas time for years to come. I would recommend it to anyone with children aged 1-5 who is looking for a wellwritten, beautifully illustrated way to communicate the real meaning of Christmas!

Fire Station Field Trip

On Monday, L had her first field trip of the year...to the Fire Station! She was so excited and had a fun time. She demonstrated stop, drop and roll for her entire class and the firefighters...and I'm annoyed that I didn't get a pic or video of it!!


Of course Z couldn't miss out on the fun!
Looking forward to many more fun fieldtrips this year!
We're heading to the apple orchard this weekend...pics to follow...

$5/5 Kraft Coupon

This may be my favorite coupon ever...because we eat A LOT of cheese at our house. In fact, I was just telling my husband earlier that I am trying to cut back on eating "unnecessary cheese" and he informed me that there is no such thing as unnecessary cheese.

Go here to print a coupon for $5 off 5 selected Kraft products. A list will print below that includes the items that are included. You should be able to get some cheap or free cheese, sour cream or cream cheese with this coupon!

Thanks Totally Target!

Book Review - One Hand, Two Hands

One Hand, Two Hands by Max Lucado is the latest book that I received courtesy of BookSneeze. I was excited to be able to request a children's book, as my four-year-old LOVES books. This book discusses all of the different ways a child can use his or her hands in helpful, kind and loving ways. It has a very positive message and is a great book for children aged 2-5.

I read this book to my daughter before bed one evening and it kept her attention. Mind you, it is a short book with only a few words on each page, and she is used to hearing longer, more detailed stories. The illustrations are very appealing and do a good job of showing what the text is saying. I think it will be a great book to add to our collection because of the reminders of all of the things that children are capable of doing for themselves. I would recommend this book to anyone and I'm thinking about letting my daughter's preschool teacher borrow it to share with her class!
