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...  ;)

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...

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...

Update on Dad...

Mom called a little while ago. Dad will be admitted, they aren't sure yet what caused the pain. He had fever, but it now is broken. He is also a little jaundice, so that is why they were/are thinking that his stent moved... They had to poke him 3 different times to try and get an IV in, his veins were so tight because he was in so much pain, he was tensing up. They took some blood from both arms and are still waiting on the results of that. They also did a chest x-ray. So still waiting, but atleast he isn't in any pain. The gave him a shot of morphine to take care of the pain, and it finally worked.
