Water Every Child Containing Household Needs

Here is list of just a few things we couldn't live without:



Coffe Maker

Recycling bins (ok, so we don't have a set at the moment and our recycling system is quite chaotic)

Baby wipes

Electrical outlet covers

Moonsand (plus an old plastic table cloth to spread out on the floor and old dishpans to hold the stuff)

Play dough

Books, books, and more books (I recommend the Fancy Nancy series for little girls)

A broom (for me to use) and a swiffer (so my pre-schooler can help too!)

Magnets and old cookie sheets

Hardwood floors (easier to clean when your daughter decides to draw circles on the floor)

Tilex shower cleaner (because, seriously, who has time to scrub the tub)

Crayons, markers, finger paints, coloring books and construction paper

Gummy-Vites (mutltivitamins in the form of gummy bears)

For Women Only


This book was loaned to me by one of my friends and I’m glad she did. I’m getting married in a few weeks and this book was worth finding the time to read.

The book is authored by Shaunti Feldhahn, a Christian woman, who writes out of a genuine concern for the men our lives. If you are looking for a book advicing you on how to get what you want from your man, then this book is not for you. This book is about understanding what is going on inside his head and, most importantly, how to love, respect, and support him in a way that he will appreciate. Okay, okay… maybe this book sounds like it should be titled The Good Little Wife For Dummies, but really it’s not that type of book – just trust me. This book covers a lot different subject: work, family, sex, romance, your appearance (yeah, I had no idea men cared about this one), and more. The chapters on sex and appearance were a little difficult for me to take in – I simply didn’t like the reality of the information presented – but the chapters are important none the less.

So, if you’re a Christian, or maybe a non-Christian looking for a different perspective, I recommend this book.
