Grandma Was Right After All! Review

I just love John Rosemond's parenting books! I have read almost all of them and couldn't wait to read this one when I saw that had come out. I have potty trained both of my boys by the time they were 2 with "Toilet Training Without Tantrums" and have been a huge fan every since.

Grandma Was Right After All! is a great, quick read. It goes through common phrases that our grandmothers might have said. They align perfectly with Rosamond's no-nonsense style of parenting. I appreciate that each section was broken down into easy-to-read paragraphs. It takes what can sometimes be overwhelming material and makes it easy to follow and comprehend.

I'm a big fan of Rosemond and recommend his books to all of my friends. Grandma Was Right After All! is no exception and I highly recommend it. I don't agree with all of his assessments of our country, but I take the big picture and appreciate his "old school" insight into parenting.

I received this book for free from Tyndale in exchange for my honest review.

"This Thing Of Ours" Book Review

When I saw "This Thing Of Ours: How Faith Saved My Mafia Marriage" by Cammy Franzese offered by Book Sneeze, I just had to get it. I know very little about the Mafia and I thought it was incredibly interesting that a woman married to a mobster would have written a book, talking about faith of all things. "This Thing Of Ours" goes through the tumultuous years of the Franzese marriage. It tells about their meeting, engagement, marriage, jail sentences, children, and how Cammy learns and grows with each stage. I was genuinely surprised at how little she knew of her husband's involvement in the Mob, but I really enjoyed reading this book. Cammy does a great job of describing different events in her life and weaving her belief in the Lord through it all. This is book is not to read looking for perfection. She is a real person with real struggles and is clear from the start that she is not without sin. I think if you keep that in mind as you are reading, it isn't ...

Prayers for Prodigals

Parenting is often a hard and lonely road we walk. Having a prodigal child can make it even more isolated. Prayers for Prodigals is a wonderful resource for when you are feeling despair on your parenting journey. Each day is a verse to meditate on and a heartfelt prayer filled with scripture to uplifted encourage, and renew your weary soul. I especially liked having prayers when it felt like my own prayers had run dry. To have pre written prayers for your child can be such an encouragement when you are feeling lost and hopeless. This devotional will surely remind you of the power of prayer and the power of God to work in your life and your child’s. #PrayersforProdigalsUpdatedandExpanded #NetGalley

The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing Review

Are you constantly wishing your home was cleaner and more organized? Do you struggle to keep things tidy once you do get your house organized? I feel like this all the time! I would get so discouraged by my lack of organizational skills and my house would stay in a state of disarray. When I saw The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up as a choice for a book I could review, I was so excited. I just moved and knew it would be the perfect time to get my new house in order. Let me just say, I loved this book! The KonMari method really does work and it's so simple! The book itself is a very quick read and you learn so much! I had a few favorite take aways: -ask yourself "Does this spark joy?" for every item you pick up. It was a really freeing question for me and enabled me to give away or throw away bags of clothes, papers, toys, and other household items. - Tackle your house all at once. Don't take things slowly, but rather pull out all of your clothes at one time, pape...
