Morning! Mama April here. We had a special visitor visit us last night. The Tooth Fairy came for my sons first lost tooth.
It's both an exciting and a little bit of a sad milestone for me, it means he's growing up. Sad because, well it means he's not so much a baby anymore (though he will always be MY baby.) But in this growing there is so much to look forward to, and so many more firsts to explore together. See for those that don't know the story, there was once a time when I believed I wouldn't be able to have these moments, I was told when I was young that I may not be able to have kids, and after being married and TTC for 2 years it started to become evident that the doctor was right, until that day when I saw 2 little pink lines appear on the pregnancy test. Maybe, if the Lord allows there will be another baby in our lives at some point, but for now I will embrace this time of growing for both my son and I. Happy New Year Mason Jar Family!! I hope 2017 is treating you well. There is tons of positive energy buzzing in the Mason Jar Mamas houses right now.

I found "Christmas Love Letters from God" to be one of the best and most relateable retellings of the Christmas story that I've read to my 4 year old.
Instead of attempting to read the whole book in one night we went chapter by chapter at bed time through the week, giving time for questions and discussion to naturally flow. One of the parts my son loved the best was seeing his name written on each of the letters that really brought the book to life and made each story personal to him. Each chapter is broken down into 3 Main sections- Story, which gave a shorted yet descriptive retelling of each pivotal part of the Christmas story. Poetry/Song, words written in prose which allow moments of praise & worship. And finally the Love Letter- a letter written to children from God, which begins with 'Dear_______" Leaving a blank space to fill in your child's name. Order your copy of "Christmas Love Letters from God" here and start a new family tradition of your own wit a book that can be passed down from generation to generation. *I received this book free in return for my honest review . * This list was originally published in 2016 some items & styles may have changed.

One of the first things I noticed about "Where Jesus Slept' written by Norma Lewis ,were the beautiful illustrations by Katy Hudson Soft and colorful, they seemed to be more small pieces of art instead of illustrations in a book.
My 4 year old LOVED this book, and while admittedly it left me a bit out of breath when reading due to the "there was an old lady that swallowed the fly" (repetitive and an educational) type of story telling, I loved it too! What a fun way to tell the story of the birth of Jesus in interesting and enaging way. Grab your copy here: Amazon: WHERE JESUS SLEPT If you like to talk to tomatoes....Have we got a book for you!!!!!!
To say that I was excited to see this book would be an understatement. For well over a year I've been searching for a devotional that my son and I could both enjoy an they were either too lengthy or not age appropriate so when I got the chance to get this book in exchange for a review, I jumped on it!! VeggieTales: Everyday with God–365 Daily Devos for Boys exceeded my expectations and has made mornings a time that my son and I both look forward to. With short entries we are finished in less then 5 minutes, which is great for an active 4 year old, and a mom who can't sit still. I love that they contain a scripture, a small story to drive the point home, a thought for the day, and end with a prayer that children can follow along with. With a version for boys and girls, this would be the perfect gift for any child or even a great baby shower gift!!
