From the world of Wonder, which sparked a movement to “choose kind,” comes the inspirational next chapter: WHITE BIRD. Struggling to fit in at his new school after being expelled for his treatment of Auggie Pullman, Julian (Bryce Gheisar) is visited by his grandmother (Helen Mirren) and is transformed by the compassionate and heroic story of her attempts to escape Nazi-occupied France during WWII. From the director of Finding Neverland, WHITE BIRD reminds us to be brave and choose kind.
White Bird is available in theaters starting October 4th! Get your tickets today! You can find tickets Here or Here.
Many thanks to Kingdom Faith Marketing Services for providing a sample of the product for this review. Opinions are 100% my own. I got to see a pre-screener copy and this is such a great movie on a tough topic. You forget many things in life. But you never forget kindness. WHITE BIRD is a deeply moving comingof-age story and testament to the courage it takes to extend kindness and love during the harshest of times. Definitely worth seeing!
Be brave and choose kind! #WhiteBirdMIN #WhiteBirdMovie #BeBraveChooseKind

One of Nashville’s most inspiring young trailblazers, Anne Wilson is a revolution in modern music. The Lexington, Ky. native, known for her transcendent vocal and down-to-earth storytelling, recently released REBEL, fusing the heart of Contemporary Christian Music with the sound of Country. A bold musical statement with an even bolder message of faith, REBEL features her hopeful, healing debut Country single “Rain In The Rearview” as well as chart-topping Christian radio ballad “Strong.” The genre-bending album follows her GRAMMY-nominated 2022 debut My Jesus, with the title track becoming a PLATINUM-certified No. 1 hit on Billboard’s Christian Airplay chart. Since then, Wilson has tallied over 900M global streams, made her Grand Ole Opry debut and wrapped her entirely sold-out headlining My Jesus Tour. Already named a Spotify Hot Country Artist to Watch, one of CMT’s Next Women of Country and a 2024 Opry NextStage Artist, she has made high-profile appearances on TODAY and ACM Honors, while earning her first-ever CMT Music Awards nomination, as well as a Billboard Music Award. Unapologetically real, Wilson approaches her craft with a purpose and conviction that sets her apart, declaring, “I am who I am — I’m Anne Wilson. I love God and that’s my everything, but I love Country music, too, and I can have a beautiful mix of both.”
I am receiving a signed copy of Anne Wilson’s REBEL album in exchange for my reivew! I love Country Music, and I am loving Anne Wilson’s REBEL album! It combines a genre that I love with my faith and it’s so much fun! There isn’t a song on this album that I don’t like. They’re all amazing. This is an album that I can listen to over and over without getting tired of it! And I think other people agree with me.
According to Holler – “Anne Wilson is a genre-blender in the truest, most artistically satisfying meaning of the word.”

I think for me, one of the things I love about the advent season is the Advent Calendars. Each night we gather as a family for devotions and to open our advent calendars together.
It’s fun, because receiving a gift every night for a month is fun. But more importantly, it’s great family time. Everyone is eager to get together and see what each night will bring.
My boys are just the right age for Legos! This year One had a Guardians of the Galaxy and the other had a Star Wars. I learned very early on not to get anyone the same advent calendar, especially when it comes to the lego ones! They love building (or having me build) their little item each night and they have so much fun playing with the legos throughout the month and early into the next year. It’s the gift that keeps going!
For girls, one of my favorites is Ipsy. I love getting their products throughout the year and their Advent Calendar is amazing!
I also tried the Fab Fit Fun advent calendar this year and discovered that it’s only 12 days and not 24. It did have some awesome stuff in it though. So, depending on what you’re looking for, it’s pretty great!
Because both of these are available through a box/discount group, the value for what I pay is terrific!
To go with my advent calendars, I received a couple of tasty beverages to review. This first one is some delicious Sumatra coffee from Indonesia. It’s organic and fair trade, which is terrific!
This coffee from Pure Origin is delicious! And I always feel good about drinking a fair trade coffee. Not only do they taste amazing, I’m doing something good for my community at the same time.
My kids love tea! Actually I love tea too. This Boost Tea from Red Pantz is super delicious but not that great for bedtime – whoops! My kids liked it too but we did have to make it a morning tea just so everyone can sleep at night!
We love including some tea or other hot beverages with our advent calendars and just kind of extend our family time together until everyone has opened their calendars and drunk their warm winter beverage.

I received this beautiful Bible to review. I had challenged my kids to read through the Bible in 2023 (they get to pick their version as I have a lot of different reading levels in my house) and my teen snapped this Bible up as soon as it arrived.
She loves that it has space on the side for her to doodle and write notes. And she loves the soft cover on this Bible. And honestly, I think she’s super excited about having a new Bible for her reading through the Bible challenge this year!

Bible book introductions provide a concise overview of the background
and historical context of the book about to be read

prayer and gaining language for the thoughts and emotions you want to express.

important events.
Journaling: Focus and reflect on Scripture and its meaning for your life, opening yourself to God’s voice as you ponder.
Engage Through Art: Consider a classic piece of art—photograph, sculpture,
painting—and let it deepen your meditations on scriptural truths.
Contemplate: Follow the church’s longstanding practice of reading, meditating on, praying, and contemplating a passage of Scripture in order to experience God’s presence through the words of the Bible.

One of my favorite things about the beginning of Spring? It’s time to bring out the slip n slide again! This is the first thing out every year and the last thing we put away.
Our yard is surprisingly flat for our area of the country and this H2OGO triple water slide is perfect for our yard! The inflatable ramp – which I do NOT recommend blowing up without a pump – gives the kids just the right amount of speed. And it cushions their landing when they run and jump onto the slide. Really, it’s brilliant!
I think it’s the best slip n slide we’ve had so far – and trust me, we’ve had a lot of them!
Easter is one of my favorite holidays! Probably because it heralds the beginning of spring, and I love the warmer months of the year.
As my kids are getting older. Finding the right items for easter baskets is getting harder and harder! My kids are going to love the items I found for them this year!
My kids big and little love these boards! They come with the board and a brush for drawing on the board. My little one loves to turn the entire board black, and my older kids actually draw pictures or use it as “scratch paper” for math.
I even illustrated a geography/history lesson for my kids because they just couldn’t visualize it from their textbook. I drew a quick picture and it all made sense!
Packed with the flavor of their jelly bellys, this Jelly Belly Gum is super tasty! I had to hide these from my family just to get a picture. Once they tried them, everyone claimed a box (or two) and there was no more for me.
With the bright spring colors and flavors these are such a fun addition to the Kid’s easter baskets!
My teen loves this Complete Cookbook for Teen Chefs! The recipes are tasty and not too challenging, making success in the kitchen almost easy. I love watching her try new things in the kitchen – and I generally also enjoy eating her creations!
I’m not sure if this is really a gift for her or a gift for me since it makes meal planning so much easier!
This kit comes with everything you need to make delicious cookies! All the way down to the cookie cutters.
And they’re as tasty as they look! These never actually made it to the Easter Basket because the kids helped me make them and then they helped me eat them.
Such a fun and tasty family activity. Those activities that make everyone happy are hard to orchestrate and now that I know we all love making cool cookies and eating them, we’ll be making more!
With a small space, organizing is critical. And these cute Deflecto products help me stay organized and fun! All at the same time.
My favorite item is the chair mat. It’s so much fun and brightens my desk space in a helpful way. Their fashion mats and fun and practical!
And check out those little organizational cubbies on the left. They have several different drawer sizes and link together so I can stack them all up and store all my little stuff conveniently. How awesome is that!
Now I just need to reclaim my desk from my teen. She loves how organized it is and wants to take it from me! Actually, my girls love the fashion mat, so I did have to promise to get them each one for their school desks.
What’s one space in your house that you really want to organize?
