(***Disclosure: Mama Buzz and reviewers, received a complimentary copy of this game and rocket for review purposes.**)

From the back of the book:

The One Year Devotions for Preschoolers 2 is full of more easy-to-understand devotions for your little one, and pairs each day's lesson with beautiful Little Blessings art. Your preschooler will join Kaitlyn, Zoe, Parker and Jack--and together they will learn to walk with God in everything they do each day!


When I received this in the mail I immediately knew how I was going to incorporate this into our daily lives. I homeschool my children and since we start off everyday with prayer I figured this would be a perfect way to have a short devotional as well. The children love the pictures and I love that the devotionals are a perfect way to start off our day.



There is a theme/title for each day with a verse from the Bible below it. For example on January 4 it's titled "Fantastic You" and the corresponding verse is Genesis 1:31, NIV. "Have you ever felt like nobody likes you? We all have days when we feel ignored or picked on or left out. But do you know who thinks you're amazing every single minute of every single day?......." And they always end with a saying like "When God looks at me, He likes what he sees."



I have used this as a springboard for short discussions with the children. It's even more rewarding when the children bring up a question later in the day pertaining to the devotional. There have also been days when a devotional seems to have been hand picked just for us that day. It's funny how God does that sometimes. :-) So, I would recommend it to a family with preschoolers to help start off the day right. :-D

Good Ideas! I've been using it at night, but I like your idea to start the day with them.

nice job on the review - I'm still learning how to do these, so it's good to read other folk's versions.

I've been enjoying the book too!

Show and Tell Friday (10/5)

Welcome to "Show and Tell Friday!" Do you have a something special to share with us? It could be a trinket from grade school, a piece of jewelry, an antique find. Your show and tell can be old or new. Use your imagination and dig through those old boxes in your closet if you have to! Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! When we went to the Fall Festival a couple of weeks ago Hubby bought the children wooden swords. They have had so much fun with those...pretending to be knights, pirates, and soldiers. Well, hubby decided that he could make them just as well or better. So here is a finished sword made by hubby. (He actually ended up making seven!) Our local leather shop cut out the pieces for us which cut down on our work tremendously. Hopefully I can show off one that is much bigger soon. Hubby decided that he needs some protection from Big T and Sweet E so he is making himself one. :) **This wasn...

Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! Yesterday I was in our side yard raking up a pile of leaves for Sweet E to play in and I saw something out of the corner of my eye. It was bright red. I looked down and saw three bright red objects in the grass. I picked them up....I have never seen these before. We are thinking they may possibly be wild strawberries, but are unsure since we have no prior experience with them. (really have no clue as to what they actually are.) And...what in the world would they be doing in the yard at the end of October! I just wanted to share pictures to see what everyone else thought. I thought it wa...

Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! This week I wanted to Show off Big T's latest adventure. Last week he attended Bible school and Grandma S' church. The theme was Avalanche Rance and I know there are a LOT of churches doing this one. It fit him perfectly since he has a love of horses. So I just wanted to share a few pictures from the last night of Bible school....or as Big T calls it, Cowboy School . ;) Here is a picture of Little E and Grandpa S waiting for the program to start. The next two pictures are of the children standing up front. Not good pictures, but you can tell they all have the "deer in the...
