Let us not become weary in doing
good, for at the proper time we will
reap a harvest if we do not give up.

Do You Have A Little Princess At Home?

Updated on Friday, December 11, 2009 at 10:35PM by Registered CommenterMAD21

By Peter (Rediscovering the Church)

Do you wonder how you can teach her to be the beautiful person God made her to be?

If so, Lady in Waiting for Little Girls: Strengthening the Heart of Your Princess might be just the book you are looking for.

Beauty is much more than just an outward appearance, it’s an attitude of the heart and mind yet this culture bombards us with the idea that beauty is all about how you look.

Lady in Waiting for Little Girls has a series of lessons each of which include a short Bible story and a fun activity that mother and daughter can share together. Each lesson teaches a character trait and gives examples of how it was displayed by a woman in the bible and how it looks in life today.

Book Review: Scenarios For Girls

By Peter (Rediscovering the Church)

As our children get older, the decisions they need to make become harder and harder - and the consequences more lasting.

The most turbulent times of change seem to happen as kids enter Junior High and then again as they become High Schoolers.

Helping our teens navigate their way through the hormonal changes they're experiencing as well as increasing societal pressures from their peers can be difficult at best and, often, seems downright impossible.

Finding resources that can help us teach and mold our children is essential and today I'd like to tell you about a great resource that I have found for teen girls:

The Scenario's book series, written by Nicole O'Dell is a wonderful series for junior-high and high school girls which are great to read and yet will help the readers learn to make wise choices.

Book Review: My Friend Rabbit

Title: My Friend Rabbit
By: Eric Rohmann
Reviewed By: EM, Age 5

This is a book about a rabbit and a mouse. Rabbit put the mouse in a plane so he could fly. The plane made loop-dee-loops and then got stuck in a tree. And then rabbit said, "Don't worry little mouse. I can save you." Then he brought an elephant and some other animals, like a rhinoceros. He stacked them all up and climbed up to get the mouse. And the little ducklings quacked as all the animals fell down. There was a loud, CRASH! All the animals were very angry at the rabbit. But then the mouse in the plane was unstuck from the tree and he flew by and saved rabbit from all the angry animals. They were really good friends. I think everyone should read this book.

Book Review: The Treasure Tree

Title: The Treasure Tree
By: John & Cindry Trent and Gary & Norma Smalley
Illustrated By: Judy Love
Reviewed By: EM, Age 5

The book is about four friends. A lion, a golden retriever, a beaver, and an otter. They are at a party and they get a gift from their friend owl. The gift is a treasure map! So they follow the treasure map to find four keys that will get them to the treasure tree. They go to a blueberry pie patch, they visit a clam (who spits!), they go to peppermint falls (my favorite!!), and they visit four rabbits and an elephant who sneezed. Once they had all the keys they had to figure out how to use them to get the gate open so they could get to the tree. Owl came and said, "Why don't you put all your keys together and open the lock?" And it worked! And they got to eat candy hearts. I like this book a lot.
