Great Devotional Book! (No Girls Allowed - Book Review)

Day 6 of the Hurry Up the Holidays List!

I love finding great books for the boys...
I love to read and I hope they find a way to enjoy it.
I want them to read because it interests them, not because they have to for school.

I was able to review the book, No Girls Allowed by Jayce O'Neal.

I think that this book will be one to appeal to boys of all ages.
This book can be broken down to read one or two stories a night.
The messages are only one and a half pages long, so they can be read and discussed without taking up a long amount of time.
I know with MY boys, they like the feeling of accomplishment when they finish a chapter or section, so this would be great to finish, discuss and then read another one.

The GREAT thing about this is that each message/section is written to reach out to boys of all ages. Let me try and explain a bit clearer... One section may explain the message using Spongebob Squarepants as the example... But then a section or two later, they will use Jerry Rice. They even threw in Tony Hawk, Batman, reference Madden Football and the Wii games!!!
It is very up to date, easy to read and of course... Gives a GREAT message!

An additional bonus for the boys reading it?
At the end of each devotion, they have different activities...
A crossword puzzle or a word search.. Maybe a secret code or an unscramble the words.
They also add a few versus related to the devotion and they put quotes by memorable people as well!

I really like this book and I am so glad to be able to share this with the boys!
If you have any boys in your life... Son, grandson, nephew, even a neighbor...
This would be a great book for them!

    Sounds interesting -- I like the variety of names they threw in.

    It seems that it is rare to find good books geared towards boys these days (other than Hardy Boys- which is a great series for boys), this review sounds perfect for my oldest boy to read.

    I will have to check our local book store to see if they have it or maybe wait and see if it hits the library circuit soon.

    Thank you for the review and giving me a good option for my oldest's next read.

    I love when I see good things for boys. This is very good. I'll have to put it on my amazon list! I rarely find these gems for boys.

    This is what bloggers do. We share and someone else finds and learn.

PowerMat - Review and Giveaway

Image
Please let me go ahead and just say... I think/KNOW that the PowerMat will be one of the HOTTEST items this year! Have you heard of this? I mean, seriously! This is Awesome and I am using that since I can not think of any other way to explain it... (Are there really words that would explain something this cool?!) Okay, let me just cut to the heart of it... The PowerMat is just that... A MAT full of POWER! It is a little bit longer than an average book... Thinner than a cell phone. It looks like a skateboard (in my opinion.) and it charges 3 different technological gadgets at once! Do you know what that means? You NO LONGER need 3 cords, no more messy tangles... Just one cord to plug the mat in and you are done!!!! I was sent the PowerMat for review and I am so very impressed! The PowerMat can charge 3 different items... Marc and I have blackberries... (They can now BOTH charge on here AT THE SAME TIME!) We also have several IPods ... The docking station for the IPod can charge my...

Fire Fly Toothbrushes - #giveaway

Image
Is it a hassle to get your younger kids to brush their teeth? Broxton loves it and asks throughout the day if he can go and brush his... Now that he has a new toothbrush!!! We were sent a couple toothbrushes from Fire Fly Toothbrushes and I just love the concept! With Fire Fly, they light up! You just press the button and they light up for a solid minute. What we do here is a little system. First, Broxton brushes his teeth for the first minute. (just a teeny bit of toothpaste) Then, I brush the next minute (once again, minimal toothpaste.) Finally, he gets to brush them a final minute (no toothpaste.) The system is working and his teeth are clean! During the day, when he wants to brush them.. He can, but with no toothpaste. He really just likes the way it lights up. Doesn't hurt that the toothbrush is a hot wheels car!!! He also has one to leave at my parents house.. It is a snoopy one and lights up blue! Talk about a cool item to show the grandparents!!! Not only c...

Hurry Up! Review & Giveaway

The Holidays are getting closer and closer! Some may want the days leading up to them to "Hurry Up!" So, with that in mind... I want to kick things off with a pretty cool giveaway!!!!!!! Hurry Up! The Dice Game is kicking things off for us... Check back daily to see what is in store!! Hurry Up! The Dice Game, by Random Line is a hit around here already! True enough, Marc and I did not follow the directions, exactly as we were supposed to, but that was because I did not read them all the way! In our defense, we just wanted to see how much fun it would be to prepare for when the boys are here again! (Note, it will be a big hit! I can see it already!!) This game is super fun and as the name says... Hurry Up!!!! You have 6 die and 6 challenges... One dice is blue... and that adds for lots of fun!!! You only have 30 seconds to complete the challenge... and you might think that 30 seconds is a long time, but in actuality, it is NOT as long as you need it for some challenge!!!!...
