thankful…21/30

Today I am extremely thankful for the friends in both my kids lives.  I cannot even tell you how much it means to me that they both have such amazing Christian friends.  It’s so important to have friends that have the same morals and values as you, that you can talk about anything with and that you can lean on each other and support each other.  God sure has given my kids some great ones!

Seeking Christmas {Book Review}

Seeking Christmas
Finding the True Meaning Through Family Traditions
By Renee Robinson

The book description:

Is the message of Christmas lost in the commercialization and hectic pace? Can we celebrate with intentional purpose? Using devotions and activities, Seeking Christmas gives your family an experience to pass down for generations to come.

This book is a devotional for the entire family, not just adults.  It might be a short book but it’s full of a super message.  It’s a great start for a Christ centered Christmas.


The book is based on a seven day period. Each day includes an entry that invites you to remember, read, reflect, rejoice and research. Each day is centered around a specific Biblical section concerning Christ’s birth. Each day’s “devotion” is short and simple.
I loved that there was a section for you to read aloud, a “reflect” section that is broken down by the ages of your littles and the research section I LOVED!  
This book is such a wonderful way to begin a Christ based Christmas tradition.  It’s a great place to start.  If you’re trying to figure out how to teach your family to focus more on Christ during Christmas time and you don’t even know where to start, this book will help. 
I received this book free from the publisher through the BookCrash.com book review program, which requires an honest, though not necessarily positive, review. The opinions i have expressed are my own.

Today I’m thankful for a girls day with my best.  Sweat pants, movies, talking, yummy food, talking, more yummy food, laughing, talking, eating till we’re sick and more talking.  Yep, that’s basically how our days go.  And I love every single thing about it.  So so super thankful for it, it’s sooooo needed!
