(***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'

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.

Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! Today I am taking part in Kelli's Show and Tell and her Giving Thanks week. Last Saturday I had the chance to do something I had never done before. I put together a gingerbread house with my MIL and my children. My MIL made the gingerbread and then she had me help her assemble it and then decorate it. We didn't finish it all, but we hope to finish it this afternoon since she has the day off. I am pretty proud of myself. Next year maybe the children and I can do this as a school project/activity. So...here is the gingerbread house in all it's glory. I hope to post a finished

I did it!

Yes, I did get up at 5am this morning. Two days in a row, that is a HUGE deal for me. Let's see if I can keep this up (but probably not on Sundays). Tomorrow will be the test. I am not the type of person that can sleep in two days in a row and then get up on time through the week. I am going to try to only allow myself (at first) to sleep in one day a week. We will see how that goes. ;) But, my quiet time the past two mornings has been wonderful! It's amazing how it totally changes my day. Today I was thinking about smiling. Do you know that people are drawn to a smile? It's true. Think about it. When you are out in a store or just out on a walk...there is something about a smile from someone. I guess it gives me "hope" that there are actually people out there with joy in their heart. Gotta wonderful sometimes with all the scowls I see. Make sure you have a smile on your face today. :) Oh...the other night when we went to the store Sweet E was so happy. When we w
