Ellie Claire 365-Day Devotional Journals (Review)

I am excited to share with you more Ellie Claire products. If you remember, back during the week of Thanksgiving, I shared my version of a holiday gift guide by enlightening you with several awesome gift ideas for the holiday season complete with a giveaway! Now, I would like to highlight one of my favorite companies that I introduced you to then by sharing a NEW line of their products, now.

Previously, I shared with you, Ellie Claire's creative writing journals. Now, I would like to introduce you to Ellie Claire's 365-Day Devotional Journals! I received three beautifully-bound journals to review:

Peace Begins With Me 365-Day Devotional Journal

The Earth Is The Lord's And Everything In It 365- Day Devotional Journal

Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus 365- Day Devotional Journal

These high-quality, thick and sturdy devotional journals are the perfect go-to gift for the mom, grandmother or friend on your gift list. When I first got them I contemplated giving them to my three oldest children as I did the journals until I realized these are geared more towards adults. Even though I am sure an older teen could gain much from these devotionals, there are references to motherhood and parenting in general which is why I am sticking to giving these as gifts to the women in my life. Of course, I do plan on keeping one for myself! All three designs are gorgeous and the theme on the cover carries through in the artwork all the way through.

Both the Peace Begins With Me and The Earth Is The Lord's and Everything In It journals are formatted the same way. Each day begins with a verse (several different translations are used). Then, there is a short write up sharing a story or contemplation that coincides with the verse. Both journals then end with a prayer followed by half a page of lines for you to share your own personal reflection.

The Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus journal takes on a slightly different approach. Each day begins with a quote from a song. Some quotes are from classic hymns. Several take you back to the music of the 90's while others are from songs you might hear in churches today. Following the quote is an encouraging write-up, a Scripture reference that you are encouraged to read and then a prayer. This journal also provides you with about half a page for you to jot down your personal thoughts for the day.

Overall I would say these are high-quality devotional journals that would make great gifts! You might even want to treat yourself to one if you receive extra cash or an Amazon gift card this holiday season!

Original 13 Colonies Fact Cards (Free Printable)

These Thirteen Colonies Fact Cards were created for my kids as we studied early American history. What a pivotal time in our history! Puritans seeking religious freedom, adventurers setting out for a new land, and those in debt hoping for a fresh start—a new life. From the first colony in Virginia, until all thirteen stars on the first American flag were represented, these cards are a perfect review for your homeschoolers. Use them to drill the first thirteen colonies so your child can recite them with ease, and have them dictate the information on the cards to help them remember a small fact about each colony. Feel free to print these out and have your children write facts that they learn about each colony on the back. Go ahead and laminate them, too! Simply right-click, save, and print to use this resource in your homeschool as you study about the original thirteen colonies in America. Use the facts for dictation, copy work, or discussion in your home. Disclaimer: All co...

Truck-Themed Homeschool Chore Chart

Use this truck-themed homeschool chore chart to keep your kids on track throughout the school week. With lessons, field trips, meals, and unexpected errands filling up your week, even the simplest chore chart can help your home run more smoothly. At times, kids are excited for the new opportunity to help out around the house and do it with joy. Other times they stomp toward the trash can with anything but a good attitude. Help keep attitudes in check by using stickers, smiley faces, or positive verbal reinforcement as your child completes each task on the chart. For the child who loves lists (and the mom) this is the perfect free printable to have on hand! (Simply right-click, save, and print)

The Pencil Grip Inc. {Review}

We have found what we have been looking for in The Pencil Grip Inc .'s 24 pack of Magic Stix Washable Markers . These markers are the perfect fit for a homeschooling family such as ours. I am thrilled to tell you about our experience with them! Normally, I do not have a favorable impression of markers for several reasons. For one, as a kid, I remember markers having such a strong smell that it would give me a headache. I know some kids enjoyed the scents but it certainly was not for me. And to be honest, if I had markers like that in my house today, my kids would probably stick them up their nose or something. Another reason I have a distaste for markers is the drying out factor. As a parent of many children this is super frustrating. I finally teach the older ones to put the caps back on when they are done using their markers but then a younger one comes along and just doesn't understand. This then leads to the undue frustration of your child sitting down to...
