Adventures in Odyssey: Cause and Effect Review

Welcome to Adventures in my Review! Sorry. I couldn't resist. I hear the line "Welcome to Adventures in Odyssey" almost every day. ;-) It quickly became a family favorite this past year. Big T, my oldest, can't seem to get enough of it. Thanks to MamaBuzz and Tyndale House I had the privilege of reviewing the lastest volume of Adventures in Odyssey called Cause and Effect.

From the website-


It’s all-new Adventures in Odyssey episodes in volume 52, Cause & Effect. Join Eugene and Matthew as they investigate why the clock tower at City Hall seems to be counting down to a mysterious deadline. Could it have something to do with the anniversary of a lost love from twenty years ago? Barrett couldn’t be more excited about getting the lead role in the school play. But when his first practice is interrupted by a mysterious booming voice, Emily Jones must investigate the “phantom of the school play.” Also, perfect for the holiday season, are stories on Thanksgiving (“A Thankstaking Story”) and Christmas (“Grandma&rsuo;s Christmas Visit”). 

Adventures in Odyssey is fun and exciting audio entertainment that teaches quality character traits and ignites the imagination of all who listen. Imagine, Discover, and Grow with Adventures in Odyssey


As I already mentioned Whitt, Eugene, Connie, and Wooten seem like people we have known for  a long time. Wooten is my favorite! And this newest volume couldn't have gotten to our home at a better time. We left over the weekend for our family Christmas. Yep...Christmas in November. That's what happens when my grandparent go to Florida for the winter. Anyway, our drive was over 4 hours and this Adventures in Odyssey set was perfect for our trip. It help all of us to enjoy the drive more and to pass the time more quickly. I forgot to ask my children which story was their favorite out of this set. But if I had to guess I would say that Big T really enjoyed the one called "an Agreeable Nanny." My favorite was the one called "Thankstaking."

If you have never listened to Adventures in Odyssey before this would be a fine place to start. And if you already love Adventures in Odyssey this is the perfect addition to a collection. I know I am going to have to purchase another one soon before we wear this one out. Yes, I know it's CD's. But if it's possible to wear CDs out I think my children are on their way. ;-) Oh yeah, here is a clip from one of the episodes if you have never heard Adventures before.

And before I forget, make sure to head on over to Whit's End and check the website out. A lot of information can be found and some of the episodes can be listened to online as well. :-)




This is a MamaBuzz review. Tyndale  provided me with the products free of charge for my honest opinion. Thanks Tyndale!

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. 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! 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
