Inspiration for Moms giveaway

For most of us, back-to-school time is coming soon — but even you year-rounders and my Southern hemisphere friends can join the fun! ;) I’m giving away a delightful pile of goodies to make up this “tool kit” of Inspiration for Moms (and kids!). Total prize value: approximately $120.

Giveaway goodies:

Thirty Days of Bible Study for Busy Moms

I think “busy mom” is redundant. Because all moms are busy! I’ve learned that some time in the Word is vital to my sanity, but squeezing it in every day can be hard. So this little study on Colossians is fantastic. (Buy your own e-book version if you don’t win!)

Music from Yancy!

My whole family loves Yancy‘s music. We have two of her CD’s and every time I play them in the car, all the little feet start tapping and heads start bopping. Even though the little kids love her music, it’s not too kiddie; I play it in the car when I’m alone, too! Yancy is generously giving my winner: a “Roots for the Journey” CD and a “Rock-N-Happy Heart” CD and accompanying daily devotion. You can even download a free app to go along with the “Roots” CD!

A little bit of inspiration for each day.

The Invisible Woman – by Nicole Johnson.

I first read this years ago and have loaned it to several friends who need a reminder that moms may not get many accolades in this world, but we are never invisible to God.

Just Mom and Me Having Tea.

You know I love any excuse for tea! This is a fun little mother-daughter Bible study with interactive questions, and includes a keepsake journal.

George Washington Carver: From Slave to Scientist

We love books from YWAM. They have a huge variety of biographies, and we use them in our homeschool often, but Kathryn often reads them just for fun. If I’d had books like this when I was her age, I’d have loved history as much as she does. Their International Adventures series is wonderful, too!

Good Morning, God.

This book designed to read with children age one to eight years old, and includes gentle prayers to encourage them to enjoy the Lord all day long. The illustrations are lovely works of art. A big THANK YOU to the folks at Apologia for providing this book and accompanying coloring book to add to my giveaway! (Buy it here.)

How Do We Know God is Really There?

Another book donated by Apologia for this giveaway! Kathryn loved this one because the story involves astronomy, one of her favorite topics! (Buy it, or read more about it here.)

Bible Q-and-A cards

These question and answer cards go along with The Beginner’s Bible. A fun way to learn more about the stories you may already be enjoying.

    I agree with everyone else, what a great giveaway. I’ve read about several of you homeschool bloggers talking about the YWAM books, but then I always forget about them! Thank you for the reminder – I have to find some for my daughter!

    Jamie, thank you so much for encouraging others with info about your day-to-day… I know this blog is a lot of work, but you have spoken words of truth during an enlightening and heart-changing time, and I praise the Lord for it, and for your e-presence as it revealed God’s truth in real-life situations. I have prayed for you during your mentioned hardships of late, and have been very excited to read your candor about your experience with your foster-adopt process, emotions and all. Thank you again.

    My prayer this year is that each family spends more time in prayer about what God wants them to be teaching instead of what they think they should be teaching. We did this last year and it was fabulous! It is easy to get distracted with what we think we should be doing instead of following God’s will for us. I put the academics aside and spent more quality time with my kids and the Lord! Thanks for the great giveaway! God bless!

    What a great basket of goodies. The only thing I have out of what you are offering is the book The Invisible Woman. That is one of my favorite books. I have shared mine many times but am always afraid I wont get it back. With a second copy I would give it away to bless some other mom.
