The Most Wonderful Time of the Year by Ace Collins - A Review

Christmas is a busy time. It can be difficult for people to step back from the decorating, baking, shopping, wrapping, and visiting, and remember the reason we have a Christmas celebration at all. Devotionals can be a wonderful way to give yourself a quick reminder of the real meaning of Christmas, in a few minutes every day.

The Most Wonderful Time of the Year by Ace Collins is more than a basic devotional book. In addition to having quality reflections on Jesus, each day there is also a look at the story behind a Christmas hymn, as well as a recipe. Some of the recipes are for food, and some are for gifts you can give to pamper the people you love.

The daily devotions were well written, the song studies are very interesting, and the recipes seem nice (I didn't actually try any of them). I read through quite a few days in quick succession in order to write a review, and I found the content to be wonderful.

I did think it would be really cool if there was a CD to go along with the book, with each day's hymn. I am sure I could just make my own, but it would be a cool tie-in item, especially if you were giving this as a Christmas gift.

I was given a free copy of this book to facilitate writing an honest review. All opinions are my own.

Why I Choose Christian Light Education Homeschool Curriculum

Last summer I decided that I was going to homeschool our foster daughters while they were on summer vacation. There were two reasons for this: 1) Two of the three girls were behind academically. I really hoped that by working through the summer we could help them get on track for the next school year. They left our house soon after school started, so I don't know how well it worked. 2) I don't allow my children much in the way of screen time, and these girls were accustomed to having TV and tablets in their rooms all the time. So they never really knew what to do with themselves. I figured school work for the morning would help with that dilemma. Choosing a curriculum was difficult for me. I know that some people bounce around and change curriculum a lot, but whatever I got, I hoped I would like enough to use the non-consumables with Little Guy. I don't like wasting money, and I hate the idea of some topics falling through the cracks because different curricu

Things That Annoy Infertile Girls (or Maybe Just Me?) - Flashback Friday

This was actually one of my more popular posts when it was first published, but I still thought I would share it again. Any additions to the post are in pink, as usual :) Accidental Pregnancies - So I have been trying for years to get pregnant, you go slut around and accidentally get pregnant? Immediate Pregnancies - You quit taking your birth control last month and now you are pregnant? People Who Give You Retarded Advice - - Just stop trying and you will get pregnant - My friend adopted a baby and got pregnant right away, you should do that - Get drunk, people always get pregnant when they are drunk (Yes, they do. Because they are intoxicated and forget to take precautions.) Whiny Girls That Pretend They Are Infertile - Trying for 5 months is not suffering from infertility. It takes a year on average to get pregnant. I get that it might FEEL like infertility but it just isn't. After YEARS of trying, I can't even rememb

Training Children vs. Raising Children

In many conservative circles, parents refer to training their children. This term comes from Proverbs 22:6, which says "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it." Almost unfailingly, when you get into a discussion on this topic, there is a parent that is appalled at the use of "training" on children. Nine times out of ten, they say "You train dogs, you RAISE children."
