<br /> Hey, did you know God doesn't love you more or less based on the good or bad days you have? Im not sure if i really knew this or not. Maybe somedays i knew but, i think for the most part everyday that I was hard on myself i assumed he was disappointed in me as well. I never blamed him for my behavior, bad luck or poor judgments. <br />
I couldn't get out of the slump either. Until i changed my lifestyle. <br />
<br /> A lifestyle change is a slow process. I kept at it everyday slowly working on my change. I set goals for the present and future. I woke up everyday and kept the same routine. I went to work, took care of my family and went to bed. This was all i knew. I then was presented with the perfect book to review!

I appreciate a good, motivating book for myself. One I can look at for inspiration, answers and even jot notes in. A book I can come back to and see how I have grown as a person and grown in my faith. I was extremely excited to be given the opportunity to provide my daughter with an age appropriate book offering her the same opportunity.<br />

I am Brave by Thomas Nelson is a book geared to 8-12 year old girls. Its a great book that helps girls growing in their faith and following God. This book encourages the reader with various prompts to include questions and quizzes. A little food for thought in determining a better situation, another perspective or an end result of FUN.<br />

There is a Brave Girl series which I was only aware of after this book but, all the girls are introduced in this book and a picture of them on each page. After reading about all of them you feel a little more connected and familiar with the characters as they grace the pages throughout the book.<br />

My daughter found this book to be a great addition to her book collection. She is able to read and follow the directions. She is leaving her mark on the pages as she answers them according to her at the present time. It will be fun to look back on when shes older.<br />

Where is adventure?</blockquote>
<br />
Once you have kids keeping them happy and entertained is part of life. At least until they get older and think your not cool anymore or find ways to entertain their selves.<br />
<br />
I can't keep mine entertained everyday. Some days I run out of time or fall short of what I really wanted to achieve for the day. 52 Uncommon Family Adventures by Randy Southern makes my idea planning so much easier.<br />
<br />

In the book each adventure has a key. You will know the time frame, cost, location and love language associated. Love language is different for everyone and the sooner you know what works for your family and close friends the easier all adventures will be to pull off.<br />

The adventures range from easy such as writing and passing out thank you cards to more intricate ones like the adventure called Something Old. In Something Old the family tries to recreate an old photo to include: hair and clothes style!<br />
<br />
One of the benefits of this book is also the ease of reading it. <br />

Once upon a time there was a story. A story that is not easy to read as a child but, just as important and holds great stories and words of wisdom that a child too should read and hear about. The Tiny Truths by Joanna Rivard and Tim Penner is that such book. <br />

All these stories and more are included in this illustrated bible. The pictures are so fun and inviting for children. This bible was an easy read for my child. She appreciates being able to grab a book, find a corner and read to herself. She also loves when she hears a familiar story at church; one that's shes already read or is familiar with.</div>

I have another great childrens book to share with you! God I Know You're There by Bonnie Rickner Jensen. This book was such a cute book! I thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish. The pictures were adorable and the words simple and touching.<br />

With the turn of each page the picture was brought to life by the words describing the presence of God. <br />

Gods presence can be seen and felt throughout all the aspects of nature. A rainbow, the wind and even the rain. This story allows the imagination to see that God is by your side regardless of the day, weather or season. <br />

I enjoyed the words on each page as much as the pictures. This book overall was one of my favorites. Its such a fun and relaxed read. Younger kids can understand the points on each page and its easy to translate for kids if they have questions. This is an easy read board book. Beginner readers can read this book<br />

You pinch each side for the clasp to release. The size chart provided worked great for a perfect fit of this watch.</span></div>

I'm not going to say goodbye or good riddance to 2018. I'm just going to say goodnight. I have learned a lot this year and although a majority of it was not positive I appreciate the good experiences I had.<br />
<br />
I will say goodnight as I put the memories to rest. I will say goodnight because I will not forget but will move on towards the future. I will say goodnight because when I woke up I made some really good friends along the way.<br />
<br />
2018 you didn't have to be so rough but I guess I needed some lessons taught, learn to be humble, learn to trust friends and learn that I am stronger then I think.<br />
<br />
2019 I ask that you be gentle. I will follow your lead but I also know I need to eventually take my own path. I look forward to be a stronger individual both mentally, physically and emotionally! I know I will be a better person at the end.<br />
<br />
For 2019 I want to continue on my path of health and fitness. I want to continue to volunteer when I can. I want to be a positive role model for my kids. As well as continue to grow in my faith. I want to be happier and I am in charge of that!<br />
<br />
Happy New Year everyone! I hope you follow me into the new year and enjoy my journey. I look forward to hearing your adventures too and we can motivate each other.Belugas in VAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02234580383364114441noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4141103250188087694.post-68218565482415629372018-12-17T16:29:00.001-08:002018-12-17T16:41:44.839-08:00Motivation Decorations <br />

<br />
Its time to talk about decorations! We all have different styles and a personal preference to textures, patterns and shapes but what we all like or could use is a little more motivation, inspiration or encouragement in our lives. It might not even be for ourselves but for other family members or it's just a great saying in general that needs to be posted.<br />

I found several choices at <a href="https://www.artsyolive.com/">artsyolive.com</a>! This site was easy to navigate and whether your looking for a biblical message or a motivating quote they both are available. There are even some personalized prints available.<br />
<br />
I like that your not only able to personalize a print but, that your also able to select a frame.<br />

I am completely satisfied with this product and service. The whole experience was easier then i thought. I think the hardest decision was which print to select and the frame. I chose this print because I liked the phrase as well as the colors on it. </div>

<br />
I forgot all about sharing this great book my daughter and I read together with you! We recently finished reading Love Does for kids by Bob Goff and Lindsey Goff Viducich.<br />
<br />

<br />
This book was the perfect spring board into conversations about everything and anything. We talked about how people would have felt based on the authors experience as well as discussed the lesson learned.<br />
<br />

<br />
The questions at the end and scenes from the bible all tied the chapters together. Each chapter though however still led to another discussion which made this book a great read.<br />

My daughter is in elementary school and could easily read the chapters. She really enjoyed the different chapters and it made her think. She liked the challenges of figuring out how she could relate the chapters read into her present life.<br />

"If you've been cut or bruised or if your feelings have been hurt, Jesus is like a doctor who lives on your block. He's nearby if you need Him. Just call His name and He'll come to you, sit at your table, and heal you in ways only He can."<br />
<br />
This was an excellent book and my daughter and I recommend you add this to your bookshelf. I could see even visiting this book years later because she will have had different experiences and have a different perspective. I received this book complimentary for review purposes and all opinions provided are solely mine.<br />

<br />
I'm back with another kids book review. This book is perfect for the younger kids. Tonight's book is How do you Say Goodnight? This book is a fun journey following a young zebra named Zoey as she checks out how her other animal friends say goodnight.<br />
<br />

<br />
She stops and observes the nighttime routine of various animals. How do elephants say goodnight, lions or even monkeys?<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
Do they pray, give thanks or brush their teeth? This book is great because just like us we all have a different routine. Baths, stories, and prayer time are only part of a goodnight ritual as Zoey learns. She also accepts that all of them are equally nice and hers is just fine too.<br />
<br />
How do you say goodnight? How do you praise or pray before bed?<br />
<br />
This board book offers little hands a great grip and the illustration is so fun. I enjoy animals and to incorporate them into a book about bedtime routines is something anyone can relate to.<br />
<br />
Here's a chance to add this book to your home library. Checkout the giveaway <a href="https://www.blessedfreebies.com/howdoyousaygoodnight.html">here</a>!<br />
<br />
This was another great book. My kids enjoyed the book and it's easy to follow along. A great book to start a conversation leading into dedicating a few minutes to God every night.<br />

Sometimes when you find a good thing, it's hard to improve. Take for example the bible. The story never changes and it doesn't need to but, now the cover is fair game.<br />

This bible is great quality. The hard cover will keep those pages safe. My daughter enjoys it because she is spending more time with her bible and likes the modern trend of sequins on it.</div>

Its definitely a show stopper. No one in her class at church has this bible which makes it extra fun. However you can try your luck with the giveaway and bring a little sparkle and change to your child's bible study time.</div>

I know your looking for a fun new book to share with your kids! I have just read and shared with a few of my little friends The Cow Said Neigh! A Farm Story by Rory Feek! This is the book you have been looking for to add to your childrens collection.<br />
<br />
The animals on the farm all seem to envy other animals and to take on the appreciation and admiration they speak the appropriate voice of said animal!<br />
<br />
This book became a quick favorite here! The storyline is so fun and easy to follow it's a great book for younger kids to enjoy as well as early elementary.<br />
<br />

After a few animals have said the wrong noise you will have the attention of everyone. The illustration was bold and fun. The colored pages keep the story engaging.<br />

<br />
I read a variety of books and love to add some motivating books into the mix to keep me going. God plus motivation makes for a good read.<br />
<br />
I just recently finished my complimentary copy of Always Enough Never Too Much by Jess Connolly and Hayley Morgan. This book is full of devotions to encourage you to quit comparing and be comfortable with where you are and even who you are.<br />
<br />
This book offers a fun spin in reading it's contents by offering 50 devotions then requiring you to flip the book and reading the other 50.<br />
<br />
The Always Enough side will help you when your feeling insecure. It provides a reminder from Jesus and everything starts with even if or even when. For example even when you feel behind or even when you feel stuck.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
The Never Too Much devotions work on soothing you if your too emotional. Take this inspiration to use how you were created by God. Even when you're busy or even if you have a ton of kids.<br />
<br />
Each author takes turns providing a peek into their life and then justify the path that was followed, accepting what was done and accepting the faults or the individual experience. I like that it's pointed out that God has made us unique and each of our lives is not a carbon copy. It's comforting to know God uses us to change us.<br />

Where are you going? Where have you been? Born to Wander by Michelle Van Loon will take you on a path reflecting on your own journey. I was provided this book complimentary for review purposes and all opinions are my own.<br />
<br />
I found this book easy to read and enjoy.<br />

This book wandered with me everywhere including the pool until I was done with it!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This book contains 11 chapters including questions after each chapter encouraging you to consider what you read, your current life situation and ending with a prayer. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Some chapters may mean more to you then others. I had a few similarities with the author. Each chapter titled gives you an appropriate taste of what you will read. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Chapter 1: Uprooted</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We wander all the time. Not just moving from one home to another but, in our jobs, with our friends and sometimes from one church to another.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Some moves may have been on purpose others on accident or coincidentally but, it's natural to wander. We are in charge of our own happiness and in searching for the best fit, the happy life, satisfaction we wander.</div>

We ladies do like our pretty things. I also like to read. This year making time for myself has been easier some days then others but, without being to hard on myself I just make up for it on different days. My newest book .... a study bible for women.... was provided to me complimentary for review purposes.<br />
<br />
Being a mom, taking care of a house, preparing meals and squeezing some me time is just another challenge I refuse to be defeated in. I enjoy trying new recipes, working out and reading. This year I have devoted more time to reading the bible. I am in my 40's and have never read the complete bible and although I know there are many different apps and strategies to complete this task in a year those are not quite for me.<br />

Reading a portion daily is reasonable but I want to know what I read and remember what I read versus getting it done to be done. When presented with the opportunity to review The Study Bible For Women I was excited as it would provide me with the depth I was seeking. So for the last few months I have enjoyed reading the bible as well as studying the content.<br />

A book is never just a book. What makes you select a book? The cover? The summary? The author? Every once and awhile I step outside of my comfort zone and choose an unknown book. A surprise book.<br />
<br />

<br />
The story centers around a single mom (Margot) raising her daughter (Pearl) out of a car parked at a trailer park in Florida. The community of neighbors are definitely some characters to say the least. In the story you follow the mom and daughters daily routine their interaction with the neighbors and you get an idea of their environment they live in to include the trailer park and their car.<br />
<br />
She left home young with good intentions to raise her daughter better then she had been raised but also knew living in the car was not much better. Life in a car went years unnoticed or rectified. It made me think of how many things do I just walk by because it's been the same for so long.<br />
<br />
I enjoyed all the descriptive details. There was a two headed alligator, a blue opals ring, and even barbie dolls buried up to their heads! I think the author did a amazing job creating a picture for the whole book.<br />
<br />
<br />
I enjoyed the book, the ending was not my favorite but, you win some and you lose some. This book without being labeled as a true story could so easily be the life of anyone.<br />
<br />
It's a book that will make you think. Not about what you can do necessarily but a book to make you appreciate your present situation. Or maybe it is a book that encourages you to open your eyes and see where you can help.

Who doesn't need inspiration or encouragement along the way in this journey of life. I love to see biblical quotes, psalms and encouraging words on items we can use.<br />
<br />
Gone are the days of posters and bumper stickers being the only object to hold words. Now we can sport our favorite saying on a t-shirts, phone cases and pillows! <a href="https://www.pronetowanderla.com/">Pronetowanderla</a> has endless products to help you grow with God and be encouraged. They provided me complimentary items but my review is honest and all statements are my own.<br />

I love that I can see beautiful words on the back of my phone as it sits beside me.<br />

I selected the canvas banner and pillowcase above. Both of my items were grey in color and will compliment any room or color pattern! I love the font and size of the letters because it had a fun modern feel to it. The canvas was thick and durable and quality made. It looks like it will last a while!<br />

This week my meal plans were not complicated. I try to leave the complicated meals to the professionals or a holiday. <br />
<br />
This week I pulled out the slow cooker, used leftovers and followed the meal plan for the week.<br />
<br />
I find my recipes in a variety of places but this week everything came from the internet. My biggest goal was to use leftovers items I bought last week. I succeed. So yeah no waste for me!<br />

Each week I try to make new recipes and not just stick with old tried and true ones. I have made this soup before but the other two recipes were new. Two days of leftovers from last week was nice too. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
All of the recipes were easy and everyone liked all the meals. No complaints means these recipes can go in the rotation to be made again.</div>
<br />
Now the weekend is here and the kitchen is closed. It's everyone for themselves! Have a great weekend everyone.<br />

Back with another tasting today. My daughter has grown to like this activity. She asks what the treat is for the week and reminds me when Thursday is coming up.</div>

I picked up another treat from Dollar Tree. It's not that I frequent the store that often; it's just luck of the draw when I remember to grab something.</div>

Today we sampled Coconut! I have used coconut in baking so it's a taste the kids have had. It's hit or miss depending on how it's used.</div>

These coconut chips were purchased for $1.00. These coconut chips are by the brand Real Coco. I bought the original flavor but am interested in what else is available. The bag was 1.43 oz and it was filled! Might I add it was filled with a lot of air so definitely packed for safety. Plus if you like coconut the smell is amazing.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
These little chips are crunchy to be expected but, the flavor is 100% coconut. The chips sizes vary. These are not the same size as a potato chips. They are more like shavings but each piece is delicious.</div>

My kids actually liked this snack. YEAH for their approval! They ate this straight from the bag but, think of the endless possibilities of snacking. You could sprinkle these on anything or blend them into things. This is definitely something we will buy again!</div>

What have you snacked on this week? Have you tried anything new?</div>
