Review: The Grandparents' Handbook is a very enjoyable and informative read for any grandparent who wants to have some fun with their grandchildren. Not only does it have fun ideas on what to do with your toddler grandchildren, but it also gives you a "refresher course" on how to deal with and handle little babies. I am sure the memories of, for example, how to calm a crying baby, how to change a diaper or even the good old nursery rhymes will come rushing back. Or how about top tips to make bath time fun for little guys? Safety tips to make grandparents' house a safe place for little people or even time-out strategies.A lot of today's grandparents are young at heart and want to enjoy their grandchildren.

TweetWonderful Family Devotional
I recently assigned a wonderful book to my kids to read for homeschool. I was so excited to receive this book as a review copy from Bethany House Publishers, especially since it was already on my homeschool reading list. Hero Tales by Dave and Neta Jackson, the authors of Trailblazer Books, is part church history, part devotional, and part character study. This book can be used with various age groups and double as a family devotional. The book is geared for children aged six to twelve, however, with guidance you can engage a younger child. An older child could benefit by using this as an outline for further in depth study into one or more of the featured Christians in the book. However, the text would be too simple for a child above the age of 12 to read on his own. If you have have a vast array of age groups this book is best used as a family devotional.Hero Tales, compiles the lives of Christian heroes from William Tyndale to Harriet Tubman to Dwight L. Moody. The stories are … [Read more...]
