Pookster and Bubs Review and Giveaway!

I was lucky enough to review these two lovely books for children by Rhonda Funk.  Pookster and the Unloose Tooth and Pookster and the Practically Perfect Pickle, teach valuable lessons on using kind words and patience.

I love that they are written by a christian mother and the audio book is handy in the car.  My girls laughed while I read the book, but they could also pick out the important lesson the story told.  The illustration are delightful and the each book ends with a Bible verse.

This book series is a creative way to teach your children about the fruits of the Spirit.  To learn more about this new series check out their website here.

Two lucky followers can win one of The Adventures of Pookster and Bubs!   Just leave a comment below and a way for me to contact you.  You can win extra entries by liking Sippy Cup Central and Pookster And Bubs on Facebook. The giveaway ends on the 12th....good-luck!

My Necklace has arrived.

Thanks to Counting Coconuts and the lovely craftsmanship of Moon Dog Farm of Maine, I now have a lovely new necklace to wear. It is a rose quartz mama necklace carved into a circle. The stone is strong, smooth, and lightweight to wear.  It shines a lovely color of rose-pink and arrived on a black leather string.

When I am holding Jem she likes to stick her finger through the circle and wear it like a ring.  I just want to say thanks for such a lovely giveaway and I am so happy to be the winner. Please check out Moon Dog Farm's etsy store for more adorable eco-friendly, and felted handicrafts.
