Thaleia

Captive Dvd

By 7 Comments

As a mom of four I do not make it out to the theater to watch many movies. When I do hear about a really good movie it’s usually too late for the main venues. Occasionally I can catch it at the dollar theater.  I am just as happy to stay home and watch a REALLY good movie from the comfort of my livingroom!

Since we do have younger children we had to wait till they were visiting grandma in order to preview this movie. This movie is rated PG-13 and we take ratings very seriously at our house. Eldest will be 13 soon and Princess turns 12 this year but we feel that as parents we should preview movies and video games for their content first!

The Plans I Have Made for You Devotional and Journal

By 5 Comments

It’s a new year and even your children and preteens need a fresh start with their goals and their relationship with Jesus. Have you thought about getting a new devotional and journal for them? We recently were given The Plans I Have Made for You Devotional and Journal for review! Princess will most likely be the one to use this item but I also asked for Eldest’s opinion as well.

Princess says: “I like how colorful and bright the pictures are in the devotion book.  The journal looks like it would be fun to us. These books would make a nice present for someone aged 10-12.”

Eldest says: “I liked the artwork it was very different. It was eye-catching and fun. I think the contents of the devotionals would be uplifting.”

Kid Friendly Kitchen Table Activities

By 1 Comment

Since we homeschool it is usually assumed that we must sit around the table all day and do schoolwork which is not true for our family. We do use the kitchen table as our main hub for all sorts of kid friendly kitchen table activities.

Cooking and Meal Preparation:

Everyone has to eat so you might as well learn how to cook at a young age. Even our toddler has found fun things to do to help in the kitchen. You can read all about how a toddler can be a sous chef and be very helpful in the kitchen!

Nest Craft

By 1 Comment

Winter is a great time to learn about birds, bird watching, and nests! If you have feeders in your yard then you can get an up close and personal look at birds. If you do not have access to birds in real-life then books can help do the trick!

We used four different books for reference and to spark some interest for our nest craft project! The books we used which can be found via our Amazon affiliate links were: Birds, Nests & Eggs , My Baby Blue Jays, A Nest Full of Eggs and The Best Nest .

After we looked through the books for ideas of what nests look like we tried making some of our own! We used brown crinkle paper and skinny straw-like raffia.

First we tried to shape them by hand. It sorta worked. Princess wasn’t too happy with how it turned out. I thought it looked pretty nice myself!

Then we used school glue on an empty applesauce cup to help with a nest shape. Princess wanted to try using a small water balloon and a jumbo plastic egg to see if that would work.
