Do you love giving gifts? I know that I do especially to my secret prayer pal at church. I love finding unique spiritual gifts to give her that will be encouraging and uplifting. I was given the opportunity  to review a My Caring Cross. I have held onto this cross trying to decide who I would give it to. I wanted it to be someone who could benefit from it.

Handy Tips for Traveling Abroad with Kids

 

Traveling with children can be a headache at times, and that can be even more so when going overseas. Travel times are longer, the kids are more on edge from being out of their element, and depending on where you go, the parents also have the added burden of trying to handle things in a place where no one speaks their language. Despite all that, it’s still worth it. Here are a few tips to help.

Take Pics of your Kids

It's a vacation, so you're going to be taking pictures of your children all over the place. What we mean here is something different, and not nearly as fun as funny poses in front of the world's art treasures. Every day before going out, take a full body picture of your kids dressed in what they'll be wearing for the day. Should the unthinkable happen, or they simply get lost, authorities will have a current image to help them in the search.

With the Christmas and New Years right around the corner it's time to start planning your get togethers if you will be hosting any. We usually host some type of a get together whether for family or friends. My mother in law says that hosting is one of my gifts because I love to do it and am decent at it. I love the food part of parties I won't lie it is my favorite part. It's not necessarily that I love to eat all the food but because I love to cook.

My husband is a history buff. Always said he should have been a history teacher. Me, not so much... He enjoyed The World Almanac and Book of Facts 2017. It even has the 2016 election results in it already. The World Almanac has been around since 1868 and has been the #1 go-to for all of your entertainment, reference, and learning needs. Not sure what happened in sports in 2016... look it up in the almanac. It has everything from sports trivia, facts, Olympics, politics, some of the strangest stories, entertainment, you name it and if it happened in 2016, its in the almanac. 

Holiday Gift Guide: Watcharee Sauce

 My husband loves Thai food. I have never tried it. I was given 4 jars of Thai sauce from Watcharee to try and they were delicious. I have to admit, I had no idea what to cook with it. Well, I was in luck. I got onto the website and they have recipes for each of the sauces. We love chicken so I was in luck when I found the recipe for Chicken Massaman Curry. If I knew this is what Thai food was like, I would have tried it sooner.

Holiday Gift Guide: Mommy's Time Out Wine

As a mom of 5 children I can honestly say that there are days I would LOVE a time out. "Time Out" - a time for rest or recreation away from one's usual work or studies. The hectic daily life can really get to you some days. There are days that I can not even get a couple minutes alone to use the bathroom without a child with me or banging on the door. I know that I am not alone here either. 

CROSS Pens and the #WriteGift

Everyone has a story of their own but can you sum yours up to a short story? I know that I would personally have a hard time trying to sum up parts of my story. CROSS Pens is currently running a campaign called "The Long Story Short". This campaign is highlighting times when people took that next step. Whether it was moving away from home, how they started their career, getting in a relationship/engaged/married, or quitting a job to be self-employed, these moments, no matter how big or small, are ones that have lead them to where they are today.

Holiday Gift Guide: ToiletTree Products

I have to say that recently I fell in love with the new ToiletTree Bamboo bathroom product line! They offer some very beautiful pieces in this collection. We own several products from ToiletTree and 1 piece from the bamboo collection. I was very excited when I got the opportunity to review another piece with the Holiday Gift Guide this year. The Bamboo Laundry Hamper is really nice, and it's divided into two sides which makes it really handy for separating lights and darks. There is a strip of fabric that holds the lid and keeps it from flipping completely back. I really like that I can take the fabric hamper part out easily, which is very convenient for me and the boys. 

Sponsor Spotlight: These Boots Are Made 4 Crawling

Do you have a little one that you are looking to fill a stocking for this year? For me it seems like filling Peanuts stocking is going to be hard for me. With him only being 3 1/2 months old there is not to much he can play with so it is tricky finding fillers for his stocking. But thanks to "These Boots Are Made 4 Crawling" I have a wonderful gift now to put in his stocking.

Holiday Gift Guide: The Hair Bow Company

If you have little girls or even big girls then I am sure you can relate with me on the hassle of doing their hair. My girls do not like to sit still for me to do their hair. I can sometimes bribe them with pretty hair bows and stuff that go in their hair. So I was excited when I got the opportunity to work with The Hair Bow Company with my Holiday Gift Guide.

Books and more books; I love books for my children! That is also one gift that gives back because it helps my children learn the valuable skill of reading and comprehension. With having five children lots of reading occurs in our house and we have lots of books. Books are one thing that I personally think children can not have to many of. We get the kids books for Christmas every year and this is no exception! They will be getting lots of great books including some wonderful ones from Quarto Knows publishing.

Holiday Gift Guide: TreasureToons and frog

   

My little Bug loves to sing and dance. What better way to dance, than while singing and dancing to the word of God. Treasure Toons by Cassie Byram does just that. This DVD bundle comes with the TreasureToons DVD, the Wonderfully Made CD and Rippy the Frog. I have been asking God to help me in some way, teach my children about his love. I have a 12 year old, a 7 year old and a 2 year old so its hard to find one thing that they all can enjoy and understand. We will listen to the Wonderfully made CD in the mornings while we are rushing to catch the bus and get ready for the day.
