Book Review

52 Weekly Devotions for Busy Families: Choose The Level that Fits Your Life Style
by Karen Whiting; Published by RoseKidz

Perfect for families desiring to grow closer to God and each other. Easy for parents to plan and prepare, fun and engaging for everyone. Starts a great tradition of memory keeping and valuing time spent together. Detailed Table of Contents is very helpful when you have a specific topic you’d like to stress with the family. Very clear and simple instructions on how to use the devotions, with plenty of ideas to personalize each to your own family. My daughter and I both like creating a scrapbook and illustrated prayer journal to document our devotion time. My son likes using a Bible app to look up verses and enjoys the physical activities that can go along with a topic. Devotions are flexible so you can shorten or lengthen based on the amount of time you have. Geared toward families with younger children but very easy to make more applicable to tweens & teens. Illustrations are cutesy but not overly so. Devotions are well written and really did spark conversation. I was provided a copy of this book in pdf format and all opinions are 100% my own.

Say what!?

I can't believe I haven't been back here since September!  I'm a bad blogger.  Well, we moved and are getting a puppy!  Winter is almost over and we're all looking forward to Spring.  Here's a picture of our newest addition, Reese.  He will be coming home sometime this month and we just can't wait!

My first doggie ever - Reese!

It's been a while...

It's been an interesting 5 months around here.  We've had tornadoes, earth quakes, hurricanes...  Good news is that all is well.  We were without power and internet for a while and I'm currently battling a computer virus, but other than that, things seem to be evening out.  School started and there have been no classmate or teacher dramas (yet).  And today, after it seemed like the rain would never end, the sun is shining outside of my window.  The fall temperatures are supposed to make an appearance this weekend.  So now I need to update my blog and show you some current pictures - I'll get right on it!

ADSR Is On!!

Or should I say off?  For those who don't know, ADSR is the Amazing Digi Scrapping Race.  It's sponsored and put together by NDISB and I'm racing this year for the first time.  My partner is Ophelia aka navaja77 and we've both completed our first assignments.  Round One was sponsored by Digi Scrap Connect and we had to create a layout that lists 6 fun facts about our family and includes at least one family photo.

Everything I used to create my layout is by Crisdam Designs.  Click on the title under the photo to go to the Gotta Pixel gallery and see full credits and links.  On to my next assignment... (or should I say off?)
