Hillsong Kids DVD, Can You Believe It? Giveaway

Happy Thanksgiving Week!

We just spent a lovely weekend in Monterey Bay, enjoying much needed family time, celebrating my Dad’s 86th Birthday, and escaping the smokey air that has enveloped Northern California this past week.  Our thoughts and prayers continue to be with those affected by recent wildfires in our home state.

I’d like to share with your about a new dvd by Hillsong Kids that was recently released, “Can You Believe It? Songs of Truth.”

Hillsong believes that teaching children to love God and others takes place in both the home and in the church. For this reason they seek to partner with parents (the greatest teachers of all!) and with church pastors and leaders, equipping them with great resources. Through fun experiences, meaningful music and ministry that encourages kids to participate, Hillsong Kids presents Jesus Christ and His Church in a relevant way, creating moments which children will never forget.

“Can You Believe It!? – Songs of Truth” is both a question and a challenge… a statement of gratitude to a loving God and an invitation to explore the very foundations of faith. Classic songs like “My Best Friend”, “Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)” and “What A Beautiful Name” join brand new declarations of faith such as “As The World Shakes” & “Heaven Is Our Home”. We pray that this collection of fun and vibrant songs, help children around the world to declare biblical truths about God’s love and grace for them.

Thanks toPropeller/FlyBy Promotions, I am giving away a copy of the dvd “Can You Believe It?” to one of my readers.  This is a short giveaway so be sure to enter by Thursday!

You can also purchase the dvd here.

GIVEAWAY – To enter, just leave a comment.  What are you thankful for?  What are your plans for Thanksgiving?  Do you have a favorite Thanksgiving tradition?  Favorite Hillsong song?  Giveaway ends on Thursday, November 22, 2018 at 11pm PST. (This giveaway is open to US residents only.)

Chris Tomlin’s HOLY ROAR Album {giveaway}

Hi Friends!

It’s been awhile, but I’m happy to be back and am so excited to share with you about Chris Tomlin’s new album, HOLY ROAR!

Chris Tomlin is one of the most heralded singer-songwriters in the world who has amassed an impressive body of work. He has sold more than 8 million albums, 11.3 million digital tracks with 16 #1 singles. Chris is one of only four artists ever to receive the Sound Exchange Digital Radio Award for over 1 Billion digital radio streams, others include Justin Timberlake, Pitbull and Garth Brooks. 

The Grammy® winner’s list of music awards include an American Music Award, 3 Billboard Music Awards, 21 Dove Awards, a BMI Songwriter of the Year Award and more. Chris’ concert tours have sold-out venues in major cities including New York City’s Madison Square Garden, The Forum in Los Angeles, Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena and Red Rocks in Denver, among others. This spring, Chris marked another career milestone by launching his own imprint record label, Bowyer & Bow, in partnership with Capitol Christian Music Group.

Chris Tomlin is one of my favorite contemporary Christian artists and songwriters.  Back in college, I attended a worship night at a local church featuring Chris Tomlin.  I didn’t know much about his songs but one of my friends invited me to the concert so I went along.  Before the concert started (or was it intermission?), we got the chance to meet Chris at his merchandise table and snagged a photo with him.  I inadvertently embarrassed my friend by telling Chris that she was his biggest fan!  She’s not the only one!  After that evening and many albums/worship nights later, I am still one of his biggest fans. 🙂

About HOLY ROAR: the freedom, the experience, the wonder of worship. It is seeing the church come together, hands lifted to God, pouring out our praise with an eternal song in our hearts. It’s every voice together, changing the way we worship.

Thanks to FlyBy Promotions, I have an opportunity for you to win the audio cd of Holy Roar.  I am really loving this album and I know you will enjoy it too.

Giveaway Closed!  Our winner is Tania!

The Kindness Elves Christmas Tradition + Giveaway

{This post contains affiliate links.}

“Sprinkle Kindness wherever you go”  ~The Kindness Elves

Tis the Season! and the kids have been busy coming up with their wish lists for Christmas.  On their lists are the typical “wants” like a Nintendo Switch and L.O.L Surprise Dolls, “needs” like clothes and good books, and things like “something for my brother” or “something for my sister,” that warms our hearts & puts a smile on our faces.

As our family prepares for the Christmas Season, we have decided to come up with a new tradition…A Kindness List, with the purpose of teaching the kids to focus not only on themselves but on other people as well.  To help inspire us along the way, we will be using The Kindness Elves!

The Kindness Elves was started in 2013 by Mom Anna of The Imagination Tree.  The elves encourage kids to carry out acts of kindness to friends, family, neighbors…just about anyone!  Earlier this year, I bought the Kindness Elves Set and Storybook (because story time is a favorite around here).  I still can’t get over how cute the little elves are and with many options to choose from, you can be sure to find the right ones.  Isn’t their elf house adorable?  It has a working mail box for sending and receiving Elf Mail.

Just recently, we received the Kindness Elves Accessories Pack, that includes 50 wonderful Acts of Kindness cards, a Little Book of Big Kindnesses memory book, postcards, stickers and a bottle of magic sprinkles.  This is such a fun tool to have and I cannot wait to get started with these.  You can also find a Family Bundle Pack and a Classroom Bundle Pack on the Kindness Elves website.

I’m looking forward to sharing our Kindness List with you in the weeks to come.  To get things started, this is our first act of kindness this month.  Rebekah decided to draw a thank you picture for our school crossing guard and we gave it to him this morning.  He was so sweet and said, “I’m going to keep this forever.”  🙂

Who would like a Kindness Elves set of their own?  We have just the opportunity for you!

GIVEAWAY TIME!!! – I’m teaming up with Anna at The Imagination Tree to give one lucky reader a Kindness Elves set.  To enter, leave a comment telling me what your favorite Christmas tradition is, what tradition you hope to start or ideas you would write on a Kindness List.  For extra entries, tweet about this giveaway or share about it on Facebook, and let me know in the comments section.  Giveaway ends on Sunday, December 3rd, 2017 at 11pm PST.

The giveaway is now closed and the winner is….
