Since I started my new journey with Young Living Essential Oils I have been trying to build my collection of books that go along with Essential Oils. I love having books with recipes and ideas of how to treat my family with a more holistic approach. I have also been switching my cleaning supplies over to more natural things. I am very excited about my newest book Smart Mom's Guide to Essential Oils: Natural solutions for a healthy family, toxin-free home and happier you.

Pumpkin is one of the artists in the family and loves getting books that teach him new techniques. He keeps all his drawings into a big 3 ring binder so he can show them off. The binder goes with him everywhere even school. I love his creativity and his unique drawing style. I am so excited and can not wait to give him two wonderful doodling books for Christmas.

I recently received the opportunity to review an adorable bedtime book with the kids titled How Do You Say Good Night? I quickly feel in love with this adorable book and have been enjoying reading it with the little ones before bed. I am not sure about you but we love to read a good story and cuddle before bed. I think it creates wonderful lasting memories not only for me and Mr. Anderson but also for the kids. It also enhances their love for books.

Ohio is known as the "Heart of It All". But what is there really to do in Ohio is something that I have found myself saying a lot since I was a teen. If you asked me what there was to do in Florida I could give you a long list but Ohio I sit here scratching my head with trying to come up with a decent list. I recently received the book 100 Things to Do in Cleveland Before You Die, 2nd Edition to review.

One thing that our family has been trying to do more of is family devotions. It is Mr Anderson and I's job to bring these children up to be good stewards for the Lord. It is not our churches job or their school's job to teach them everything they need to know.  Psalm 22:6 (KJV) says "Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it." I recently received a set of Family Devotionals by David C Cook to review with my family.

Since Pumpkin is always drawing I love getting him books to help him learn more about different styles of drawing. Recently I got the book Draw Manga for him to review and help him learn about drawing the Manga style art. 

This book walks you through step by step on how to draw the characters even down to the detail of their clothing. Pumpkin and Sweet Pea have been enjoying working on drawing characters that they find interesting in the book. They really like that the book shows them how to easily draw the characters step by step. The step by step guide can help anyone to easily draw even if they are not a die hard artist.

If you have a budding artist in your home or know one I would recommend this book for them. 

Media Masters Publicity BOOK REVIEW: Disney Stories for 2 + 3 year olds

 

How perfect are these Disney books for specific age groups. My LO is now 3.5 and we still read every night. It is a great way to bond with your child. Most of these short stories have a few sentences on each page and less than 15 pages. I know after a long day of working, cooking, cleaning, running a toddler, and taking care of my husband and two dogs, by the end of the night I am SPENT! These short stories have beautiful illustrations which my LO loves. 

National Geographic for Kids

 

One thing that I love to do is encourage my children to read. I also love to have them learn about different cultures that are not local to our area. National Geographic Kids helps me give my children to learn about the world that they live in. Most books seem hard for my younger children to understand and National Geographic understands that and made books that the younger readers can easily understand. 

National Geographic Kids has such a great variety of products to offer children of all ages. It no longer is just the magazines for adults. They have broadened their selection of products to reach more audiences. I personally love the kids selection of items they offer. I enjoy sitting down and reading the books with my children. Not only are my children engaged with the books I am too. 

I recently received some wonderful books to review with my children from National Geographic Kids. I love the wide variety of topics that they offer for the kids. There is literally something on any topic (nature wise) that your child could be interested in.

Workman Books

Books and more books; I love books for my children! That is also one gift that gives back because it helps my children learn the valuable skill of reading and comprehension. With having five children lots of reading occurs in our home and we have lots of books. Books are one thing that I personally think children can not have to many of. We get the kids books for Christmas every year and this is no exception! They will be getting lots of great books including some wonderful ones from Workman publishing.

Always Enough, Never Too Much

As a busy mom one thing that I come to love is my daily devotion books. They help me find some peace and daily time with the Lord in my crazy hectic day. My newest devotional has been a much needed breath of air for me.  The Always Enough, Never Too Much devotional is 100 devotions for us women to quit comparing, stop hiding  and start living wild and free. I am not sure about you but I find myself comparing how I live and how I do things to others daily. I know that this is not what the Lord wants me to do and this devotional is slowly helping me gain more confidence in the Woman the Lord has made me to be.

One thing that I am always looking for is stuff to keep the kids entertained. Whether it be at home or in the car. I hate just handing them a DS or Kindle to play games on because I want their minds to be learning and expanding with knowledge. One way I have found to do this is with activity books. Activity books are a great way to help encourage reading and learning. BigFoot activity books are especially a favorite of most parents, as they are at once educational and fun!

Highlights Provide Educational Fun

 

With Summer in full swing it is our job as parents to make sure that our children do not lose the knowledge they learned over the past school year. Maybe you have a little one who is not in school but is starting to work on their letters and numbers. Then Highlights would be the perfect books to help them and you succeed at teaching them their basic skills.

He's been dumped with his TV-obsessed grandparents. Lonely and curious, Charlie heads to the village if Castle-on-the-Hudson, where a frightened old woman gives him a desperate message - in sign language. When she suddenly disappears, Charlie is determined to find answers. 

All Francine (aka Frog) Castle wants is to be the world's greatest detective. Frog, who is Deaf, would rather be solving crimes than working at the Flying Hands Cafe'. When Charlie Tickler walks into the cafe' looking for help, Frog jumps at the chance to tackle a real-life case. Together, Charlie and Frog set out to decipher a series of clue and uncover the truth behind the missing woman's mysterious message.
