See The Light Crossmaker Review and Giveaway!
My Thoughts on Crossmaker Myfamily can't seem to get enough of the See The Light DVD's! TheChildren are learning how to draw and learning stories about theBible all at the same time! Crossmaker is beautiful artwork set tothe Easter Story! The children are able to hear the story of Jesusbeing read to them as they are watching drawings to go along with thestory. After the story is done the children are able to learn how todraw the pictures depicted in during the story! How cool is that? Justas I always do I sat each of the day care kids in front of the TVwith their own drawing pencils and paper. The children love sittingthrough the story and learning the gospel. But, not as much as theylearn the drawings. Each child sits very still and tries so hard tomake their artwork as good as on TV. Even the younger children trytheir best and it is so special to see their individual styles emergefrom their drawings. Ialso enjoy watching the children show their parents what … [Read more...]
Through Her Eyes Magdalena Review!
ThroughHer Eyes Magdalena Whatan amazing experience it must have been to walk beside Jesus. I dohope that if I had been in the times of Jesus that I would have lovedhim and followed him wherever he might have went. Trusting in everyword that he said. SinceI was not lucky enough to walk with Christ I guess I will have tospend my life doing the next best thing. Living as close to him as Ican spiritually. Oneway that I can do that and feel close to him is to watch movies thatwill help me to better understand the amazing man of miracle that heis. ThroughHer Eyes Magdalena is an amazing movie that had me crying all the waythrough it. I also watched it with my daughter as well as one of myday care kids and they really sat there and took in every word. Thatwas surprising to me as this is obviously not a cartoon and I did notexpect them to really sit through the entire movie! Themovie is based around many of the stories of Jesus that is depictedin … [Read more...]

MyThoughts on Hanna-Barbera's Valleyof the Dinosaurs Valley ofthe Dinosaurs is yet another Hanna-Barbera Classic that I had not yetseen.

See The Light Art Classes DVD Review and Giveaway!
My Thoughts On See The Light Art Class I run an at home day care and the day that I watched SeeThe Light: Art Class I had 5 kids at my home. I decided to see how well theyeach did with the DVD and they were thrilled to get out the art supplies and learnto draw pictures. I was also excited because I knew the faith base that wasbehind these classes and three of the children do not get to hear of the Lordor the Bible on a daily basis. I put in the DVD and the kids were instantly quiet. Theyenjoyed lesson one and was very excited to get to drawing. All together therewere four lessons and each one was about 10 minutes in length. This was perfectas the kids did not want to sit and listen for too long. By lesson three theyounger kids (2-3) were done with the video. Which was to be expected as theyare much too little. But the 5-8 year olds were still very interested andwatched the entire DVD! They loved the tips and tricks that they were taughtand had fun trying to draw the … [Read more...]

Finishing School Review
On The Back No smoking. No drinking. No lipstick. Pretty Virginia Radcliffe(Frances Dee) earnestly accepts the strict rules enforced by exclusive CrockettHall. Have a smoke, have a drink and have a wild weekend in New York, suggestsher roommate Pony Ferris (Ginger Rogers), who knows the rules have nothing todo with the girls’ welfare and everything to do with the school’s reputation.Adorably worldly, appealingly smart, third-billed Rogers steals the show inFinishing School, giving pretense a swift kick in the comedy keister as shemother-hens her classmates through a booze-and-bad-boy Manhattan fling.

Linda Eder ‘Now’ Album Review!
My Thoughts on Linda Eder Now You all know that when I post a music review I like to rate it by two categories.First the music I listen to while cleaning my house, and second the music Ilike to listen to while relaxing in a nice hot bubble bath. When I heard the beginningnotes of Linda Eder’s ‘Now’ album I thought that it would defiantly be arelaxing type cd. But after just a few more notes I realized that it had areally good beat to it and I could see myself dancing a tango around the housewhile I cleaned! The first song was a grab the mop and use it as a microphonetype of song. But then the second one started and I was back to relaxing andbubble bath music. I love the mix of music that can be found on Linda Eder’s ‘Now’ album. Ialso love the purity that can be found in her voice. She is a powerful singerand uses her voice to pull you into each song that she sings. Her album isfilled with powerful ballads with the occasional up beat tune. I had not heardof Linda Eder … [Read more...]
