Quick Tips for Busy Families Review

I signed up to be a review blogger for Bethany House books.  I did not pay for this book.  I got it for free if I would agree to read it, blog it and write a review and post it!

This book is called Quick Tips For Busy Families by Jay Payleitner.

Honestly I wasn't too sure about this book at first, but I found quite a few ideas in this book!  I thought we are busy, but we aren't "that" busy, are we?  But in this day, everyone I believe is busy and if there are some good tips, I am gonna try them!  Some of them we actually have done before!  Nice to know I'm not the only one who has done some of them too!

What I liked about this book is that it is Christian based.  He takes those ideas and has a Christian perspective. Not always easy finding a good, funny, Christian based book.  You will be laughing and rolling your eyes thinking, yep, that has happened, or no that hasn't happened, but I see that happening. to getting to the serious and important topics. He has a way with writing that makes you think, but it isn't to heavy.

A couple of my favorites one are:

Twenty-one Things to Write on a Sticky Note
Make Room in the Fridge
Clean Stuff Besides Dishes in the Dishwasher (Which was a very good reminder for me!)
Be Smart With Smartphone Photos
Keep Reading Out Loud
Be Their Favorite Critic

There are more, but these are the few that really stand out!
For those of you who are local, you can borrow my book, but but I guarantee, this is one you will want to have on your bookshelf.  This is definitely a book to keep and have around, not just for now, but for later...  Even when your kids are grown up and have kids...  ;)

Run-Aways

Wow, this has seriously been an eventful week! Starting off with the whole fabric softener mis-hap, which you can read on here if you didn't see or hear about it! Then Curt left Monday nite, Tuesday, well, it was ok, we had mom's group and the kids were acting up a bit, but nothing too bad... Then Wednesday I had a meeting at the church... It started out ok, the meeting wasn't long at all! Gavin came into the room and said he wanted to go play outside on the playground. I told him no, because I couldn't see him. I said, what if someone came by and picked you up and grabbed you and took you somewhere? Mommy would never see you again and I would be soooo sad! I said, I can't see you, so you need to stay inside. Well, not more than 3 minutes passed and Kotah comes up to me and says, uh, mom, Gavin is trying to go outside. So, I get up, go over to him and talk. I asked him what is he doing? he says, I WANT to play OUTSIDE! I said, bubby, I can't see you, so you can...

Judah's Wife Book Review

I received this book from Bethany House for free if I agreed to read and then blog about it. Judah's Wife is by Angela Hunt. I've read a few of her books and absolutely enjoyed and loved them!  I was very excited to be picked to read this book! I've honestly not read anything from the books of Maccabees.  This story is the "silent years' between Malachi and Matthew. I really would like find Maccabees now to read it since I've read this book. This book was amazing! Love being able to read stories that really capture what it was like.  Angela Hunt has done this in this book. I really enjoyed how she told it from Judah's side and Leahs side.  It would go back and forth, but it wasn't confusing at all. Talks about Leahs up-bringing and how she struggled. Her father wasn't a real father figure and in time she realizes how much her mother protected her from her father and his blows. She struggles to truly love Judah at first who was somewhat fo...

Cancelled

What a busy crazy day! Curt left right away this morning around 7 to get his blood taken.  He got back and then Audrey got here.  We played and picked up for a bit then left to go to the Health Department to get our TB test done.  We got there around 10ish and they told us we needed to make an appointment.  So we waited for a bit to make an appointment.  Thankfully they had an opening for today yet.  They only do these tests on Friday, so we really didn't want to have to wait until next Friday if at all possible.  Got an appointment for 1:15 and 1:30.  I was thinking ugh, either no nap and very little nap, but I didn't care!  ;) Got home, cleaned up a bit more, got the kiddos some lunch, then we turned around and left to go back to the Health Department.  (I did NOT see the water guy! ;)) Got back there, got asked some questions, wanted to know why I need the test...  I said adoption.  They saw all the other 5 kids and as...
