Review: Sue Hooley's 2015 Daily Planner

Meet Sue Hooley: The Daily Planner was designed by Sue, wife of Dan for 24 years and mother to six lovely children, two girls and four boys ages 5-21. The planner was developed after several years of motherhood and homemaking. Sue understood that a homemaker's day can rarely be scheduled and structured the same as the one before – not every task can fit neatly into the time-slot allotted by other planners. Since her first publication in 2010, thousands of homemakers have benefited from the daily planner. 2015 Daily Planner List Price: $13.99 with free shipping on three or more Format: 6x9 Spiral bound  Order at:  http://www.homemakersfriend.com Features include:  Two-page Weekly layout with menu planning and to-do list Two-page Month layout Year Calendars with place for notations Perforated Shopping Lists Tasks Lists and Projects & Events Sections Information Section My Review : I've been given Sue Hooley's 2014 and 2015 Daily Pla...

Book Review: Yes or No by Jeff Shinabarger

About the Author : Jeff Shinabarger is a social entrepreneur and author of two books: More or Less and Yes or No. Jeff has a vision to make Atlanta a center for social innovation and has personally engaged in over 100 start-ups solving problems through the community he leads called Plywood People. His work has been featured by CNN, USA Weekend, Atlanta Journal Constitution, Huffington Post, Christianity Today, Coca-Cola, Relevant Magazine and Chicago Sun Times. He is the co-founder of Q and creatively led Catalyst for 8 years. Jeff and his wife, Andre, live in East Atlanta Village and have two children. My Review: Every day we have to make choices. We know that there are consequences to our choices. Some decisions are easy to make because there are no serious, long-term consequences. But other decisions are huge, life-altering, and world-impacting. A young adult/adult's life presents many opportunities for decision-making on significant issues such as choosing a college, major,...

Review: Family Toolbox

Do you agree with me that parenting must be the most challenging and the most rewarding job in the world :)? My husband and I have been doing this job for over 21 years; yet we are still learning, growing and figuring things out. Our two sons who are still at home are 16 and 13. I'm so thankful for the opportunity to review the Family Toolbox, a fantastic parenting resource from National Center for Biblical Parenting. The Family Toolbox is a DVD program that helps parents and teens engage in meaningful discussions, equips parents with valuable tools, and trains teens to embrace 16 life success principles. I really enjoyed using this friendly format. It gets teens' attention and encourages their interaction. There are 8 two-minute video clips that show family members having arguments, problems, conflicts, complaints, tempers, all sorts of issues that take place in typical households with teenagers. Parents can also watch the 10-minute teaching videos for each session and lear...

DVD Review: When Calls the Heart "Change of Heart"

When Calls the Heart--"Change of Heart"  is the latest DVD (#6) in the When Calls the Heart television series based on the novel " When Calls the Heart " written by Janette Oke. On this DVD, Julie Thatcher, Elizabeth's younger sister, surprises Elizabeth (Erin Krakow) with her visit in Coal Valley. Julie is accompanied by Mountie Patrick O'Reilly who becomes the new Constable of Coal Valley. He informs Mountie Jack Thornton (Daniel Lissing) that his transfer request has been granted. Instead of being happy and excited, Jack is shocked and upset upon receiving the news. His relationship with Elizabeth is blossoming but now he has to choose between leaving for his dream job and staying to pursue courtship. Elizabeth does not want Jack to leave but does not want him to stay, either. She fears that if he stays and is unable to follow his dreams, he may have resentment towards her someday. Julie falls for a handsome, sweet-talking criminal, Nate, who is a memb...
