Book Review: My Bedtime Story Bible for Little Ones



My Bedtime Story Bible for Little Ones byJean E. Syswerda is a nice little boardbook with bedtime devotionals for little ones. The stories are quick and easy to read for beginner readers as well. I like that each story ends with "Good night" to the characters and "Good night. Sleep tight." There is also a "Tuck In" section with things for your little ones to thank God for. Very sweet.

Even though this would not be my first choice for bedtime devotionals, I think toddlers will like the color illustrations and the stories of our favorite Bible characters.

Book Review: God is Watching Over You


God is Watching Over You by P.J. Lyons is an adorable bedtime story. The board book is nice and sturdy and a quick read for little ones who always want another story at bedtime. The illustrations are adorable and the message is wonderful. Comforting little ones before bedtime with the message that God is watching over them always. I would recommend this book for babies and toddlers!

Book Review: 7 Days of Awesome


7 Days of Awesome by Shawn Byous is a super fun book!  One of my requirements for bedtime stories is that it can't be too long, fun, and easy to ready. I need to be able to quickly read through the book with my toddler. I was pleasantly surprised by how cute the illustrations are and love the flow of the story. I like that the book rhymes but not a complete tongue twister like many of our other books. I would definitely recommend this book for all families!

Book Review: God Bless Our Country

I received the God Bless Our Country by Hannah C. Hall today. It's a very study board book and the illustrations are beautiful! The parent animals and baby animals are adorable! The story has a good message of all the wonderful things we love about our country. I like the different aspects the little animals enjoyed in our great country, like camping, swimming, ice cream, apple pie, etc!

I think this is a great little book for little hands!

Book Review: Little One, God Loves You

I just received the book Little One, God Loves You by Amy Warren Hilliker. This board book is the perfect Easter basket filler! I loved the sweet message of God loving the little bunny and all of the sweet illustrations! The size is perfect for a 2 year old! Can't wait to read it to my little one this Easter!

Book Review: Trim Healthy Mama Cookbook

I am a little torn about the Trim Healthy Mama Cookbook by Pearl Barrett and Serene Allison. I think the layout is very orderly, great pictures, and easy to follow step by step directions. However, there are lots of ingredients, and many of them I normally don't keep on hand. 

However, I do like that they include protein shakes using cottage cheese!  There is even a recipe to make skinny chocolate using cocoa powder, coconut oil, and a small amount of a "sweet blend". I would definitely use some of these ideas and substitutes in future cookie. I would also recommend reading the book if you choose to use the cookbook.

Book Review: The Bump Book of Lists For Pregnancy and Baby

I got The Bump's Book of Lists For Pregnancy and Baby after already having reviewed The Bump's Pregnancy Planner and Journal. I felt like the Book of Lists was very redundant from what was already available in the Planner and Journal. I personally liked the Planner and Journal better. For the super Type A personality, the Book of Lists might be good, but the Planner and Journal have just as many check lists. I would recommend Planner and Journal over the Book of Lists because the Planner and Journal is more of a keepsake for the baby.

A new mom may find the Book of Lists helpful... however, I'm glad I did not buy it for myself. Instead, I received it for review from Blogging For Books.
