My Thoughts and Review:
Many people are familiar with the 5 love languages. This book is about the 5 love languages for kids: gifts, words of affirmation, quality time, physical touch, and acts of service. The twins Peyton and Penny have their birthday party at the Perfect Pet Pal Emporium. The twins and their friends find their perfect pet pals that match their own love language. My youngest son enjoyed guessing which animal goes to which kid and finding hidden animals. I was somewhat surprised that a cat is chosen for the kid whose love language is quality time. Cats are usually independent and don't really spend quality time with people :). The book includes the five love languages quiz for kids at the end of the book. It's a wonderful tool to help kids identify their unique love language. Parents will benefit a great deal from discovering that about their children and applying accordingly.

  9. I saw this link through Robin Prate (above). I would love to be considered for this giveaway, I have a brand new nephew and this would be a great addition to his growing library (or the one I intend to build).

    I think my "Love Language" is quality time along with words of affirmation. Very interesting concepts that we all should look into not only for ourselves but for the people we are close too!

DVD Review and Giveaway: A Mile in His Shoes

A Mile in His Shoes is a family-friendly movie (PG) about a young man diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome (a form of autism) and how his God-given talent (his amazing throwing ability) helps him and others. It's about overcoming challenges in life. It is based on the book "The Legend of Mickey Tussler" (a true story). It's directed by William Dear, the director of "Angels In the Outfield." It stars Dean Cain who plays Arthur Murphy, a baseball coach and Luke Schroder who plays Mickey, the main character. Excellent performances! My family and I enjoyed this movie. It spoke to my heart deeply because one of my kids has symptoms that are similar to Asperger's Syndrome but the doctors diagnosed him with anxiety disorder, instead. My son is very athletic and great with numbers like Mickey. He is also sensitive to noise and crowds like Mickey. When Coach Murphy sees Mickey (a farmer boy) throw apples at a bucket for his pigs, he knows that he has just fo
