Learning about Noah’s Ark with VeggieTales

Thanks to Family Christian for providing us a screener to watch and a certificate to give away. Affiliate links are included.

We love when a new VeggieTales movie comes out! Both boys love VeggieTales (and mom and dad don’t mind them either). We were able to see Noah’s Ark before it’s even in stores!

VeggieTales Noah's Ark

VeggieTales has done it again! The VeggieTales take of the story of Noah is just like any other VeggieTales movie: bright, funny, full of songs and carries an important lesson.

VeggieTales: Beauty and the Beet

As a Family Christian Blogger, I received product in exchange for this post, but all opinions are my own. Affiliate links are included.

As you’re well aware, we love VeggieTales and I never mind adding a new video to our collection! We were really excited when our copy of Beauty and the Beet arrived!

Charlie wanted to put it in right away and of course, I did so and took advantage of the free time I had. Charlie and Owen both were entranced immediately. I, of course, loved hearing Kellie Pickler sing so many songs! Kellie Pickler stars in this VeggieTales spin on Beauty and the Beast and does a fantastic job.

Discover Your Role in God's Story

This post is sponsored by Family Christian, but all opinions are my own. Affiliate links are included.

Listen to advice and accept discipline,
and at the end you will be counted among the wise.

Many are the plans in a person’s heart,
but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.

- Proverbs 19: 20-21 (NIV)

Like most, we have a really hard time putting all our problems in His hands. The verse above is a reminder that God has plans for us and that no matter what plans we set for ourselves, His will prevail. It can sometimes be hard to know what our purpose is, but I feel better just knowing that everything happens for a reason (good or bad) and that He is working on our story.

Christmas Gifts at Family Christian Stores

I received a gift certificate in exchange for this post, but all opinions are my own. Affiliate links included.

If you’re not thinking about visiting a Family Christian Store for your holiday shopping, you need to!

As far as getting ready for the holidays, the Little People Nativity is a must for us! I’m so excited to put this out this year and explain things visually to Charlie. And, since it’s Little People, I don’t need to worry about him breaking them. My mom has a beautiful Precious Moments set and I hold my breath every time Charlie goes near it. This year will be worse with Owen on the run. I think Mommom may need one of these as well this year!

Little People Nativity

I saw something posted this past week that sounds like a great idea for the Nativity Set. It said to place the three wise men in other rooms and move them closer to the manger every day. It also said not to put baby Jesus in until Christmas morning. I thought this was a great idea and something we may be trying this year.

Go See The Song to Renew Hope in Marriage

I received a gift for promoting the film, but opinions are my own.

Movies come out every week. However, there’s a new movie, The Song, coming out tomorrow that I’m very excited to see.

Aspiring singer-songwriter Jed King is struggling to catch a break and escape the long shadow of his famous father when he reluctantly agrees to a gig at a local vineyard harvest festival.  Jed meets the vineyard owner’s daughter, Rose, and a romance quickly blooms. Soon after their wedding, Jed writes Rose “The Song,” which becomes a breakout hit. Suddenly thrust into a life of stardom and a world of temptation, his life and marriage begin to fall apart.

Thank God The Song
