June 2017 Update {Thoughts From Me}

by

I admit it.  I’ve been slacking.  Last week I didn’t post my Wordless Wednesday or my Thoughts from Me or my Simple Woman’s Daybook posts.  Honestly, I’ve just been super busy.

My Mom is here clearing our some of her stuff.  We’re putting it in storage until she has a place of her own and that often takes time.  She’s getting it done though and our house is getting less cluttered.

It’s time for a change.  I’ve been going through the kids clothes.  Man they are growing so much.  Laycie had to have new outfits because she’s gotten so tall and I’m heading to get Win some new shorts because he too is growing larger.

Everybody needed new shoes too.  There feet have all gone up a size and nothing fit.  Thank goodness for flip flops and cheap tennis shoes at Walmart.

We’ve got some family plans for the weekend so I look forward to next week’s Wordless Wednesday.  I’m sure we’ll have some great photos to share from our adventures and fun.

For now though, I’ve got to get back to working on the house.

Ellie Claire Bible Journaling Kit {Propeller Review}

Ellie Claire Bible Journaling Kit
Worthy Publishing Group
$18.94 at Amazon.com

I’m relatively new in the world of Bible Journaling but I’ve wanted to attempt this beautiful artform for a while now so when I was contacted in regards to this review, I immediately agreed to join in.  I wasn’t sure exactly what to expect in the Ellie Claire Bible Journaling Kit when I accepted the review but I was surprised when my kit came and I opened it to find all the hidden gems inside.  Worthy Publishing Group packed the Ellie Claire Bible Journaling Kit full of some pretty neat stuff.

The kit comes in a blue box just like the image above.  On the back of the box, it shows all the awesome things you will find inside.  22 awesome items to be exact!


Included in this kit are:
4 sheets of word stickers
4 sheets of alphabet stickers
3 sheet of tab stickers equally 24 tabs total
8 colored twist pencils
1 archival quality journaling pen
1 pouch with an adjustable strap to fit Bibles of all sizes
1 ruled page protector mat with tracing lines and a die cut shaped edge

I loved every single one of these!

They are perfect for anyone just starting out with Bible journaling.   They are just as perfect for a journaling pro.  The kit is a really great fit for one and all!

The alphabet stickers come in capital and lowercase letters in two different fonts.  They also include numbers and symbols.  These are a fun addition to your journaling pages. 


The word stickers are just as amazing with lots of phrases and symbols.  The only thing I was disappointed in is that they are only in black and white and not in color.  They can be dressed up by simply marking over them to give them color though.


The tab sticker sheets are all in color.  Some include words or phrases and some are blank for you to fill in with your own words.  They are included to mark special bible passages for you to easily find.

The pencil pouch comes in a bright green with teal accenting and white lettering.  I loved the pop of color it gives the kit.  It has an adjustable strap included which allows it to fit over any Bible, making it easy to keep up with. 

Everything fits nicely inside except for the page protector.


There are also 8 twistable pencils, an archival journaling pen and a ruled page protector mat included in the kit.  The page protector includes decorative edging in a multiple patterns to use in your artwork.  I thought that was a great added feature.


You can order your own Ellie Claire Bible Journaling Kit for yourself or as a gift at Amazon.com for $18.94 with free shipping at the time of this post.

Leadership Garden Legacy {Crew Review}

by

Leadership Garden Legacy is a fully enriching curriculum created to empower children with Leadership skills.    This extensive program grows a leader within the student by developing respect, cooperation, team work and more.  Leadership Garden Legacy builds self-esteem and character within.
For this review, I was given the following:
After reading through the program materials, we used the U.N.I.Q.U.E. Kids program over the review period once a week.  U.N.I.Q.U.E. Kids tells the story of Hugh, a sweet little lost sheep who comes across the Leadership Farm out of the blue.  Leda consoles Hugh and shows him how to be courageous, growing the leader within him.  This journey with Hugh greets many characters and teaches lessons that help leadership grow.

This story book was absolutely adorable.  The 125 page book is fully illustrated in color bringing the characters of Hugh, Leda and the Farm to life for the reader.  My children and I found the story captivating and did not want to put it down.  We honestly ended up reading more than the week lesson plans called for simply because we enjoyed the program so much.

A big bonus of the story and program is the MP3 Audio Downloads.  These allowed my children to listen to the story on their own time, which they really enjoyed.  It reinforced what we had already been reading, allowing them to repeat the lessons as much as they wished to hear them.

The U.N.I.Q.U.E. Kids’ Activity Guide is also fully in color.  I chose not to do all of the suggested activities and I adapted those activities I did choose to use to fit us.  For instance, the first activity is to plant a seed and watch it grow.  I chose not to do this activity but we did label the plant parts and discuss them in relation to the things we learned through the story and book.

Another activity my older daughter enjoyed was using the accompanying journal as we worked through our lessons.  She was able to write and draw out her thoughts and feelings through the suggestions on the journal pages.  This was a huge plus for her, since she enjoys any lessons that she can be artistic while completing.

I believe my children actually learned to get along better with one another through using Leadership Garden Legacy and that was definitely a lesson they have recently needed.  I find them working things out between one another daily, trying to get along instead of arguing as had become habit with them.  I also benefited from the lessons, realizing that Momma needed to rethink how we work together daily so that we all get along better in our home.  Leadership Garden Legacy was a great program for us to use and one we will definitely work through again and again, just to keep the things we learn fresh in our home.

Leadership Garden Legacy is available per item or in bundles for purchase.
Adult Empowerment Toolkit – $47.57
Family Empowerment Toolkit – $76.25
