Bloggy Giveaway (Fall 2008)
It’s that time again and I am so excited about my giveaway. Back in March, when I went to the Hearts at Home Conference, I picked up a great children’s devotional. My Big Book of 5-Minute Devotions is one of the best devotionals for children I have found. My 5 year old, Caleb, absolutely loved this book. Even when we were in the middle of another book, he would request that we read this book instead.
This book has different devotionals based on God’s creations and character building lessons. There are approximately 40 devotionals that give some facts about an animal and then a character building lesson to learn. Some of the lessons are about accepting others, obeying your parents and being a good friend. This book also has excellent illustrations and is very engaging for children.
We are actually going to begin reading this book again with Caleb and including our 3 year old, Camden, as well. We feel the lessons are timeless and can not be repeated enough to our children.

A Gift For Me
I entered many of the giveaways during the quarterly Bloggy Giveaway. We were on our family vacation when I got the e-mail from Christine of Doodle Kids that I had won 20 notecards and 30 coordinating address labels. They just arrived the other day. They are so cute. I can’t wait to use them.

Bloggy Giveaway (Summer 2008)
It’s that time again and I am so excited about my giveaway. A good friend of mine has just opened her own Etsy store, Barbee Bags and More. Amy makes some really cute bags and girls cross t-shirts.
She has graciously offered to let me giveaway one of her bags. The fabric on this bag is brown with multi-colored bubble circles. It has a coordinating fabric on the inside of the bag and is finished with some funky orange ostrich trim. The bag measures 13.5″ x 13.5″.
The uses for this bag are endless. I use mine for a library bag, supplies for church (coloring books, crayons, snacks) for the kids, diaper bag, travel bag. Amy made one for my daughter, Emma, when she was born last year. This cute zoo animal bag is the one she was given.
To enter this giveaway, leave a comment with a way to get in contact with you. I will be ending the giveaway on Sunday, August 3.
