Scripture Talk – Making Bible Memory Fun through Hand Motions – And Giveaway

We have been lax in our scripture memory of late. We usually just sit around the table or living room and quote it in a sing song voice. Sometimes we have been known to clap or march as well, especially when the children were younger. In our busy household, I am always interested in new ways to teach our children scripture. When the opportunity to review “Scripture Talk – Making Bible Memory Fun through Hand Motions” DVD came across my email. I said yes.

Scripture Talk – Making Bible Memory Fun through Hand Motions

The DVD uses fun, active hand motions, creative teaching, and visual aids to help children memorize 79 verses of Scripture (from 10 passages) and also know how to apply the Scripture to their lives. We have seen dozens of children of all ages (2 years to 18 years) use this method, and get excited about memorizing large amounts of Scripture in a short amount of time!

Scripture Talk Review

Our children really like watching Scripture Talk. After a few days they were coming to me quoting scripture, or portions of scripture while doing the hand motions. Here is what each of our younger children had to say:

14 year old daughter, “I really like it. It was very encouraging. It helped me with memorizing. I like all the teachers.”

12 year old son, “It was encouraging.”

11 year old son, “I liked it. It was funny. I memorized a verse. My favorite teacher is Mr. Richard.”

8 year old daughter, “I love it. I memorized a verse. The bloopers were really funny. The teachers were awesome. My favorite teacher is Miss Kate.”

6 year old son, “I loved it. I really liked the bloopers.”

4 year old son, “I hate it.” He did grumble the most when it was time to watch it. But he also just said last night that he liked it. So he is being a flip-flop!

I liked that I could let them sit down and watch the DVD without having to worry about the content. It gave me some peace and quiet to get my work done, which is very helpful to this busy mama.

To learn more about the DVD, you can visit www.scripturetalkministries.com. On the “Media” page of their site, you can find a promo video to see sample footage of the DVD. Scripture Talk was also featured on the Duggar family’s blog – http://duggarsblog.blogspot.com/2014/06/scripture-talk-giveaway.html

Natures Baby Organics & Giveaway

Posted by Professor on August 22, 2014
in Baby Products, Faith and Family Reviews Friday Giveaway, Giveaways, Kids Stuff, Organic, Personal Care Products, Reviews, Uncategorized

We are pleased to share another company which offers NATURAL Organic products for children.

This company developed their products specifically for children with skin irritants. Thus, they avoid using any ingredient in their product line that might irritate skin!
We were able to review five of their products. The products came well packaged and they are nice large sizes so you get quite a bit of product for your expenditure in natural products, which is delightful!

Children will look forward to jump into the tub with this fun new Bubble Bath. Made with 70% certified organic and the highest quality botanicals, essential oils and luxurious moisturizers. Our Bubbles are long lasting and extremely gentle so they will not dry or irritate baby’s tender skin, while the natural scents fills the air. Great for Babies and kids of all ages. Also Paraben free, SLS Free, 1-4 Dioxane Free, Synthetic Fragrance Free, Gluten Free & Vegan.

This was such a great bubble bath! My children really enjoyed being able to use a bubble bath again! The traditional bubble baths i buy in the store ALL irritate their skin and we have just forgone the pleasure of a sudsy bath time…but now I am pleased to say my children can bask in a sudsy bath once again with this product! …and boy are they delighting in bath time now that there are bubbles!

A Healing Balm for Minor Ouchies, Eczema and Irritated Skin.

Organic Tamanu Oil, Shea Butter, Sunflower Oil, & Coconut Oil.

Use Organic Soothing Stick to treat minor cuts, scrapes, burns and any dry patches. Rub or touch lightly onto skin to soothe and promote healing. A roll-up tube for easy application, it can go with you in your pocket, diaper bag or purse. Ideal even for chapped lips and winter cheeks – you’ll be surprised by how many uses you find for this convenient skin-soothing product. Gentle enough for baby, effective enough for the whole family. Fragrance Free Scent.

This was an interesting and exciting product! This worked wonders on my daughters Eczema outbreaks! We also found it worked well on skinned knees from bike rides and outdoor play. Cannot wait to see what uses winter brings!

Calms Dry, Sensitive Skin.

With Organic Aloe, Organic Chamomile, & Calendula.

When it comes to moisturizing and soothing the skin, nothing surpasses Aloe. It’s even ideal for those hard-to-treat irritations. Jojoba Oil and Aloe absorbs quickly, retains moisture and restores elasticity, leaving skin very soft to the touch. Calendula promotes healing and is gentle for delicate skin.

We liked that this product did what it said…without irritation and NO greasy feel! We also LOVE the fact that it is usable on the face. I have found that some products irritate or dry out the face if applied…NOT this one!!! It is AWESOME for sensitive and delicate skin!

Made with the highest quality botanicals, essential oils and luxurious moisturizers like shea butter to pamper you and your baby’s tender hair and skin without drying. You will love how this luxurious shampoo and body wash will bathe your skin in luxury. Also available in Vanilla Tangerine and Lavender Chamomile, in both 8oz. and 16oz

We LOVED that this is a combination shampoo and body wash! This makes life so much easier! We can use this product at home or at the gym when we take the children to swimming lessons… having a combo product certainly makes life easier when showering on the go at the health club!

This Conditioner uses organic & natural ingredients to provide an incredibly soft and manageable finish for your babies’ hair. Using ingredients such as Organic Aloe.

We LOVE that this product is a leave in or shampoo out product. My daughters’ hair is so easily tangled and this product is AWESOME at relieving those tangles and making brushing a breeze. We have used the product both as a leave in and have shampooed it out…either way it worked wonderfully! I can say that for hair that is severely tangled this worked well as a leave in conditioner to help alleviate the knots! My youngest is so pleased that the brushing routine in our house has gotten much easier with this product. No more crying when time to detangle!

Overall, Nature’s Baby Organics is doing a wonderful job at providing consumers with products that are Natural, organic and family friendly! We really enjoyed the product and hope you will take a moment to peruse their website and find your favorite products!

Goat Milk Soap Giveaway

Posted by html404 on February 21, 2014
in All Natural Products, Faith and Family Reviews Friday Giveaway, Giveaways, Handmade Items, Organic, Personal Care Products, Uncategorized

Most of you are probably aware that our second oldest daughter B (almost 15!) makes goat milk soap (read more here and here). We are anxiously awaiting for our goats to give birth in April or May so we can have our own supply of goat milk. Since last summer we have struggled to find a local source, but finally the farm we bought goat milk from last February started their kidding season and we have goat milk again!

We also have a mold of mama goat and baby, a cow and a baby and a horse. Depending on availability, we will try to offer you a choice.

About Goat Milk Soap

Goat milk soap is one of the most moisturizing soaps around. Our soap is all natural, handmade by our daughter using goat milk and 100% pure therapeutic grade essential oils. We also leave some unscented for those with sensitivities. Other ingredients include: organic palm oil, organic olive oil, organic coconut oil, organic shea butter and lye (which is saponified.)

Enter the goat milk soap giveaway below for your chance to win!

We want to offer two of you a chance to win five bars of goat milk soap! ($30-35 Value!). These will be our medium to large bars or a mix of the two. We are running this giveaway longer as it takes the soap four weeks to cure and she is making a new batch so these will be FRESH off the assembly line so to speak.

PinkBlush Maternity Review and Giveaway

Posted by 278Wife on April 12, 2013
in Clothing, Faith and Family Reviews Friday Giveaway, Fashion, Giveaways, Reviews

Faith and Family Reviews received the following product in exchange for writing a review. While we consider it a privilege to receive products to review, our reviews are our honest opinion and thoughts of the product.

Finding maternity clothes is never an easy task. Some of the major retailers carry them, but it’s usually one very small rack with very few choices. While their clothes fit, they don’t necessarily accentuate your body in the right places. PinkBlush Maternity, on the other hand, knows exactly how to make you look and feel good in their very fashionable maternity clothes. Since they sell exclusively online, their prices are very affordable. PinkBlush Maternity is constantly changing their inventory to keep up with the everchanging styles.

I was lucky enough to receive their Pale Pink Chiffon Cap Sleeve Maternity Top days before my “Sprinkle” party. When I opened it up, I thought, wow, am I going to look cute in this! I tried it on immediately and was blown away by how soft the material was. The bust part fit perfectly and did not tug or pull. It’s textured material made me feel very feminine. The cap sleeves were a little tight at first, but once I wore it to my party they loosened up just a bit. The pink chiffon on the bottom had an underlay of pink silk-like material. I was concerned that it might make me feel too big, but I think it really hugged in all of the right places. It was a little longer than I had expected, but when I paired it with leggings, I think it worked perfectly. The top was extremely breathable and airy. I could not believe how comfortable I felt all day. The top just flowed with my body and did not feel confining or tight in any way. I felt so fashionable wearing it. I cannot tell you how many compliments I received the day of my party asking me where I bought my top. Two of my good friends are also pregnant so I passed their website onto them. I’ve worn the top a few times after my party as well, and I still get huge compliments on how adorable the top and my belly is. The top is machine washable, but I hung it to dry. Since the material is so lightweight, it dried in less than an hour.

PinkBlush Maternity offers tops, bottoms, and dresses from small to extra large. They even have a clearance section with really cute products at extremely low prices. I wish I would have known about them in the beginning of my pregnancy. They even offer $5 flat rate shipping or free shipping if your order is over $50. Go to their website and sign up with your e-mail to receive exclusive coupons and offers. PinkBlush Maternity is the place to go for fashionable, comfortable, and affordable maternity clothes. I will be telling all of my preggo friends this is the place to shop!

Reverse Charades Review and Giveaway

Posted by html404 on November 30, 2012
in Contests, Faith and Family Reviews Friday Giveaway, Family Stuff, Gift Ideas, Giveaways

We love to play board games at our house but in recent years we haven’t played too many of them. Favorites include RISK, Monopoly, Stratego, Life, Checkers and Chess. Games in our home haven’t been very respected and pieces get scattered and lost, the box gets broken, then the board and so on. Our rule is we’ll replace them if we find them for $2 at a garage sale, which is where most of our games have been found.

When the opportunity came up to review Reverse Charades – the Original Edition I thought it would be fun and a break from our board game sabbatical. Not that Reverse Charades is really a board game since it has no board, but you know what I mean.

Reverse Charades Review

Our family was divided on how they liked Reverse Charades. We had older children who were not too keen about standing up and acting in front of us, even though we are their family. We had others who really liked the game and thought it was fun and continued to play it even after we quit due to little ones needing to be put to bed and certain grumps who were being “Debbie Downers” Always has to be one…

Over all I think most of us enjoyed spending some family time together doing something different. It was good to laugh and work together (we helped younger ones with their words).

The game itself is played just like charades always has been or at least how I remember playing it. The game box contained a set of cards and a timer. It retails for $23.99 and has gotten rave reviews across the web and beyond.

So if you are looking for something fun to do over the holidays seriously consider a game like Reverse Charades…..

And you now have a chance to win your own Reverse Charades game!

Memory Foam Slippers Review & Giveaway

Posted by html404 on May 18, 2012
in Bedding, Faith and Family Reviews Friday Giveaway, Gift Ideas, Giveaways, Products for Dad, Products for Mom, Uncategorized

During the winter and cooler days my feet tend to get cold. Having a nice wooly pair of socks or slippers helps keep them warm, especially on hardwood floors. As you all know, there are many different slippers to choose from and I have tried multiple brands and styles in my life. From ballet slippers to the slip on kind my grandmother wore. My favorite use to be ballet slippers but they were never warm enough. Sure were comfortable though! I had never heard of Memory Foam slippers until I entered a Nature’s Sleep giveaway a few months ago. Then I learned of their slippers and somehow got a chance to review a pair.

Memory Foam Slippers

I always thought Memory Foam was overrated until I won a Memory Foam product (stay tuned for an upcoming post about this product!). Can you say luxurious and comfortable? That’s how I feel about Nature’s Sleep Memory Foam Slippers too.

The slippers are basic in design with a softer sole made of thermoplastic rubber bottom and then the Memory Foam materials – upper/inner sole 80% cotton/20% polyester; lining 100% polyester. When the slippers arrived I was not the first to try them on, my oldest son was and if only I had video taped him! He put them on and said, “Ahhhhh…” in a sigh type voice. Then, of course, the rest of the children had to try them too and every single one of them that tried on the slippers had similar reaction. It was actually a few days before I got to try them out myself because some little person always had them on! As you can see from the photos, they’ve been worn.

Comfortable. Comfortable. Comfortable. Did I say comfortable? Oh yeah, I did! It feels like you are walking on pillows. They are very basic looking but my style goes for comfort more than fashion usually anyways so that does not bother me at all. I would definitely buy these as gifts. They are priced affordably at $25 for the open toe version and $30 for the closed toe version. Plus, both qualify for FREE shipping on Nature’s Sleep website. Please Note: This may only be for regular priced items, not discounted items so please check before you assume. The choice of colors is limited: pink, pale blue and sand. Sizes range from small to x-large. I got size medium and I wear a size 9 shoe.

Nature’s Sleep also offers quality memory foam mattresses, as well as pillows at their online store at www.Nature’sSleep.com

Be sure to enter the giveaway below to win your own pair of Memory Foam slippers! If you can’t wait, shop Now 50% off BEARS50 at Nature’s Sleep.

Earth Day 2012 Giveaway – $50 Gift Certificate to UncommonGoods!

Posted by html404 on April 20, 2012
in Contests, Eco Friendly Products, Education, Faith and Family Reviews Friday Giveaway, Fun Stuff, Gift Ideas, Giveaways, Kids Toys

We love educational products and tools. UncommonGoods not only has educational toys, but also gifts for plant lovers, hummingbird feeders and unique home accessories. Many handmade and eco-friendly products all very different. Recently we were able to review two of their educational kits for kids – Cheesemaking and Crystal Explosion….And UncommonGoods is providing a $50 gift certificate for one happy winner of our Earth Day 2012 Giveaway! A great way to start off Earth Day weekend!

Cheesemaking Kit Review

We have always been interested in cheesemaking so this was a cool kit to do. My older girls actually did this one and we let the younger children do the Crystal kit.

The kit gives you a choice of making mozzarella cheese or ricotta cheese. We chose mozzarella since we eat more of it than ricotta. The instructions were very well laid out, easy to follow and included photos so you could actually see if your cheese was doing what they said it should at each step.

Everything you need is in the kit except for a gallon of organic milk and a pint of half and half. Those need to be purchased separately. Each little tablet shown has to be cut into quarters, so you can actually make 30 batches of cheese with this kit – bonus!

One of my daughters was worried that the cheese did not turn out, but once we tasted it was fine. We lightly salted it when we tried it and liked that better than plain.

This kit is for older children (teens) to do on their own or for younger children to assist a parent due to needing a heat source, like a stove or microwave. We really try to limit our microwave use.

The girls enjoyed their cheesemaking experience. Now we need our own cow so we can truly make our own cheese.

You can purchase your own kit here($25).

Crystal Explosion Kit Review

Our children have been studying rocks and have been fascinated by what they are learning. The Crystal Explosion kit was very fun for the younger children.

The crystals (bath salts) were a bit messy but the enjoyment the children got from completing the crystal experiment far outweighed the small mess on the table!

Again, this was another kit that is very easy to use. Instructions are easy to follow. Due to hot water being required, some parental guidance and help is required.

It was fun to wake up to the crystals in the refrigerator. We still have them in there! Every now and then the children will bring me the cup and say, “Mommy, look at the crystals” because they are in awe. Very cute.

To order your own Crystal Explosion kit visit this link. It is available for $17.99.

Both of these kits are winners in our house and we give them two thumbs up. Thank you UncommonGoods!

Now you can enter our giveaway….

Little Ace and The Ten Commandments App Review & T-Shirt Giveaway

Posted by Brande on January 27, 2012
in Children's Clothing, Downloads, Ebooks, Education, Faith and Family Reviews Friday Giveaway, Family Stuff, Fun Stuff, Giveaways, Parenting, School

How cute is this little guy!

It’s never to early to have your children learning about the Ten Commandments, in a fun way! This little cartoon chick goes on a journey to find “the God”. While in this travels he learns about the Ten Commandments through other cartoon animals.

The narrator of this story has a soothing voice, talks smoothly and slowly. With this iPad app you can turn the narrator on or off, so you or your child can read this e-book. You can also control to turn the pages or have the “story” turn the pages when it’s time. In addition, there are interactive opportunities for your child to help the animals with tasks, for example to find the goat’s glasses and put then on the goat. This app is available on iTunes for only $2.99.

Here are a few screen shots.

My Review –

This is a MUST HAVE e-book in my house. My daughter and I loved it. I let the narrator read to her (he does the animals voices much better than I). The app says it good for children 4 and over, however my daughter is 3 and LOVED it. What I like is it’s a book that will grow with your children. Once they are at reading age, they can read to you. The learning experience is also wonderful in a fun way. My daughter loved the cartoon chick. The graphics are not fancy or overwhelming. Just very simple with a lot of impact on the story. My recommendation is to download it now. You won’t regret this one!

Here’s the download site – http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/little-ace-ten-commandments/id481298715?mt=8

Here’s Liitle Ace’s Website – http://www.acethechick.com/

And he’s on Facebook! Go ahead and “like” him! It’s hard not to!

Like this t-shirt? You can win it!!!
