Book Review: Essentials for Life

True enjoyment in life is found by focusing on the essentials.

A growing number of people recognize their need for a reliable guide for their life's journey. Essentials for Life fills that need by helping readers get back to the basics of what matters most with a fresh perspective on four core essentials of the Christian life:

Essentials for Life offers fifty daily or weekly readings that each include a key life-guide principle, scripture and quotes, meditation, an interesting fact, and a unique application suggestion. Each discussion offers hope and a sense of peace and well-being by focusing on life with an eternal perspective.

The content offers spiritual truth while the interior graphic design, which includes sidebars and visuals, enhances the readability and the impact of each core essential. (description from BookSneeze.com)

In Essentials for Life, the author has explained 50 most important essentials of life (daily devotionals kinda format). It was amazing to read all of them and apply them to my daily life. Every "essential" has a unique meaning and each include a key life-guide principle, quotes and an interesting fact. This book has become a staple in my library and will continue to reread it when I need a pick me up! I recommend this book to every person that would like to better their life.

Fun & EASY Teachers Gift Idea!

So it's that time a year again when you think... "what am I going to get for the teacher that has been so wonderful to my daughter all year?"

Well we came up with an idea that I think is useful and gets your child involved.... not to mention the fact that we did two of them and it cost less than $10!

The only things we bought were the plants and the pots. I created a tag that says "Thank you for helping me me grow". Than glued it onto scrapbook paper (we had some, you could just use color paper or whatever you have around or print something) than glued a skewer between two pieces of paper.

My daughter painted the posts with acrylic paint and had a GREAT time doing it.

Put the plant in and you are DONE!
