The Toymaker’s Christmas: Paper Toys You Can Make Yourself! {Activity Book Review}

Oh. My. Word. This book is SO much fun, and not only this particular one but anything by Marilyn Scott-Waters! While looking for information online about The Toymaker I was beyond thrilled to find that there is an entire website full of online printable toys to make yourself! And theyre so detailed! Visit the free printable toys category, and be sure to sign up for the email newsletter (I did!) so youll know when new toys are added. So exciting! Now back to the book Im supposed to be featuring (I got a little excited there). 😉 The Toymakers Christmas is full of holiday toys and dolls for me kids to play with! Heres a table of contents in pictures: What I especially love about this book is that you dont have to spend hours cutting them out yourself just tear out carefully and put them together. Some require a…

Why You Should Keep Your Strollers Inside…

I just thought this was sooo funny: Emma pulled this stroller I just reviewed into the living room in front of the TV so that she could watch Pooh and sit next to daddy (who is playing Playstation 3). Have you ever seen anything so hilarious? Oh and heres my pretty Christmas tree. 🙂 I love looking at it! Behind it is a Nativity Quilt Ive wanted from Christianbook.com for a LONG time (like 6 years). This year I finally bought it it was on sale for $17.99 so I couldnt resist! Its here in case you want to see it in detail. 🙂 Im shopping at

Kolcraft Contours Options 3-Wheeler Stroller Review {Giveaway Closed}

Im really REALLY excited about this post because: 1. Im nuts over this stroller and cant wait to tell you why. 2. Kolcraft (LOVE this brand!) is generously giving a stroller away to one of my readers! First, check out this gorgeous 3-wheeler, all-terrain Kolcraft Contours Options Stroller: I know, I know love at first sight, right? Im all about three-wheeler strollers right now because of their ability to maneuver smoothly on any surface grass, uneven ground, asphalt, etc. I have had the unfortunate experience of trying to push a four-wheeler stroller (the brand will remain unnamed, but they cant all be this bad) over even grassy ground and it was AWFUL! Bumpy and uncomfortable to push. The baby attempting to sleep inside didnt like the experience, either. After that, I decided that any stroller I purchased EVER would have to be all-terrain. Of course thats just one of the…

My favorite (and not-so-favorite) places to buy maternity/nursing clothing

Im at the end of my pregnancy, can you believe it? It seems like just yesterday I was announcing the fact that I was pregnant, and then immediately after my discovery of the babys gender. 🙂 But now Im ready to share the results of my quest to find maternity clothing that is both comfortable AND stylish, and Im excited to tell you about my experiences good and bad. Some of these brands I worked with on product reviews and some I bought myself. Any companies I worked with directly dont know about this post and Im not obligated to add them in any way but I will identify the clothing I bought and the clothing I reviewed for you. Rest assured that anything included in this post is a maternity product I had a TERRIFIC experience with personally and highly recommend! If youve recently been or are currently pregnant,…

Dear Toddler (Soon-To-Be Big Sister)…

I know that you are only 2 1/2 (I remind myself of this fact every day), but this new little firecracker attitude you have is wearing mommy out! Not that it isnt cute in fact, I think I initially encouraged it by laughing at your antics and created for myself a cute little pigtailed monster. The problem is that youre too smart for your own good. No one told me I would have to be quicker and smarter than a 2-year-old. No one told me that it would take EFFORT and ENERGY to be quicker and smarter than a 2-year-old! You know that Im pregnant and dont move very fast anymore and you are totally taking advantage of it. Mommy asks you to pick up your toys? You look at me out of the corner of your eye and pretend not to hear. You throw your food around even though…

Book Review: Fearless by Max Lucado

Max Lucado is a very popular author, mainly because he seems to be able to get to the heart of subjects that are on our minds or that we have questions about. In this dynamic book, he addresses fear. As you can tell from the title, this is something he wants to help us conquer or rather he wants to point us to the only One who can really help us conquer it! Mr. Lucado also addresses the different fears we have, and how to conquer them. Fear seems to be in the drivers seat these days. People are troubled and anxious. Finances are tumbling, rockets are launching, and seemingly solid institutions are teetering. Its tough for folks to know where to turn. Two years ago I began writing a new book entitled Fearless. Little did I know then what wed be facing now, but God did. The book examines…
