Sharing God's Big Love with Little Lives (Review and Giveaway)

Sharing God’s Big Love with Little Lives by Jean Thomason shares how to better communicate with little ones about knowing, loving, and praising God. If you are looking for a baby shower gift for a new mom, look no further. This book is a spiritual toolkit for parents, grandparents, and caregivers to refer to again and again!

How I would have loved to have this in my early years as a mother. Fortunetly though, I am in the thick of parenting my "second batch" of kids so in addition to my teens, I have a preschooler and younger elementary-aged child. I was absolutely soaking in every word of this book!

Using Scripture, humorous anecdotes, and insightful research, this book offers fresh ideas and enthusiastic encouragement to help you guide your little ones. I loved how often the author referred to the Scriptures as she was sharing. Not only did she use the Bible as a teaching tool but she shared how she applied certain Scriptures in her parenting over the years.

Raising little ones is hard, and knowing that you are not alone in your struggles is so refreshing! I appreciated how candid she was as she shared. She never gave the impression that she was better than anyone else because she has had years of experience. Rather, she was personable and made the reader feel that if God could help her when things were tough, He could help you as well! That is the sign of a true leader. I appreciate her humility and honesty which allowed God to speak through her in this book.

You can absolutely tell that her heart is to not only help children grow, but to help parents grow in the Lord as well. As an audiobook, you can listen to this in the car, while you are making dinner, or doing chores.

I listened to this while pulling my six-year-old's clothes out of my four-year-old's dresser drawers and vice-versa, while finding several pieces of clothing that clearly should have been in the laundry room. There were a billion other things I would have rather been doing at that moment. Sifting through clean clothes only to find dirty ones was not on the top of my list. Yet, listening to this audiobook while doing the seemingly mundane helped take the pressure off. Filled with Scripture and encouragement, this book is an absolute blessing!

Sharing God's Big Love with Little Lives can equip you with the skills necessary to help guide your child as they grow to be all God has created them to be! Hear what others have to say about this incredible book:

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...

With lessons, field trips, meals, and unexpected errands filling up your week, even the simplest chore chart can help your home run more smoothly.

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...
