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...  ;)

written 4-7-18 Wow! It's been a while since I"ve blogged...  Crazy fun times around here!  :) We had a BIG EVENT for our church Friday night.  It was awesome!!!  All about where we are and what we need to finance our new church building we are building!  We were to take a card and pray about a number and donate for the building fund.  It was a FANTASTIC awesome night to say the least!!! Curt and I have been praying about a number that God wants us to give.  We both feel a number, we can't afford.  haha...  We really can't afford anything because we still have 2 adoption credit card bills we are paying off.  God has blessed us and given us what we need each month.  But we want to give, and adding it up and looking at our budget and writing it all out, it's not there.  Nothing is there!  But that's the way it was with adoption!  We took that step of faith! So that was Friday...  Saturday morning went to kettle bell class and I died...  I honestly haven&#

Ultrasound

First of all, thank you ladies for all those sweet comments you made on my last post! How sweet you are for saying those things! Made my day!!! :O) Second, went for the ultrasound on Monday and everything is fine! WHOO HOO!!!!! No more placenta previa!!!! The baby weighs about 2 1/2 lbs, and everything looks good! We took the kids with us so they could see their baby brother/sister, they LOVED it!! Gavin was FULL of questions though! What's that stuff she put on mommy's belly? Why do the lights needs to be off? I only see one eye. Where's the other eye? What was that, is that his hand or leg? Oh my.... ;o) The tech ended up putting up a 4D on the screen, so that was really cool to see! The cord was kinda in the way, but I still think it was awesome! I didn't have that with any of the other kids!!! :O) Maybe the trick is taking 3 other siblings in to see the 4th!!! ;o) I also only gained a pound, which I am trying to figure out, seeings how I pretty m

Grandma

Grandma passed away this morning at 1:35 am. She had been totally un-responsive for the past couple of days. Yesterday we got a call and said she only had an hour, they said they made the mistake and grandma heard them, so she kept hanging on! Her feet had been cold and almost black, but they were starting to get warm and she was taking more breaths, but still very shallow. Finally she gave in and went home! The family seems to be doing ok, just please keep them in your prayers! The viewing will be Sunday and the funeral on Monday. I am not sure of the times yet, they are meeting with the funeral director in an hour. I am not going to be at the musical practice Monday nite, so Sandy May and Jena R are in charge that nite! I will have the lines assigned so the kids will know what their parts will be! Please help them out this week!!!! Thank you!!!! Thanks again for all of your prayers!!!!
