God Made You Just Right by Jill Roman Lord - A Review

Most of the books I review are for adults, but I got a chance to review God Made You Just Right, which is a board book.

From the back of the book:

You're brilliantly created, and there's no one else like you! With simple, rhyming text and whimsical illustrations, this book is a welcome reminder for little ones that God created each of us in just the right way.

I love the artwork, it is colorful and engaging, which should catch the attention of small children, but still nice to look at for adults.

The text is encouraging and has a good rhyme pattern, which I always appreciate in books for small children. It isn't a story, but poetry telling children that God knew exactly what He was doing when He created each part of each person. I love that it talks about the things you uniquely need to be able to fulfill God's plan for you.

At the end of the book is Jeremiah 29:11, which gives scriptural support to the rest of the book. My only (minor) complaint is that the verse is in NIV, but then, I think most children's books quote from that translation.

You can purchase it for $7.99 on Amazon.

I received a copy of this book for free in exchange for a honest review.

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

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."
