Hey God, I;ve Got Some Guy Named Jonah in my Stomach and I think I'm Going to Throw Up Book, Review and Giveaway

 

About the Book: 

Oh sure, we've all heard the story of Jonah and the Whale a hundred 
times. But have we heard it from the perspective of the whale who experienced that history-making event?
Hey God, I've Got Some Guy Named Jonah in My Stomach and I Think I'm Gonna Throw Up
! imagines how that great sea creature from the incident might tell his side of the story, helping kids ages 4 to 8 discover a creative way of learning about that guy who was supposed to go to Ninevah.
The "Parent Connection" feature (inside the book) will help moms and dads take the story further with scripture references and tips on how to talk with their children about what really happened. 

About the Author: 
Troy Schmidt has writing and video production credits ranging from assignments with Disney (The Mickey Mouse Club) and Nickelodeon to Max Lucado's Hermie franchise. He is currently the lead writer for The American Bible Challenge hosted by Jeff Foxworthy on the Game Show Network. Troy and his wife have three sons.

The series:  This is just the first in a series!  Other books available include Hey God, Can You Stop the Rain so I Can Get off Noah's Smelly Ark? and Hey God, I'm Having an Awful Vacation in Egypt Thanks to Moses!

My Thoughts:
 As soon as my 4 year old (Riley) saw this book, she looked at me and said Momma did you get us another book to read.  Of course my response to her is, Yes!  There is no waiting until bed time to read, we must read now.  So I read her the book, and I must say that she was very quiet through out the book, we laughed and she asked questions that I answered for her as we read.



Now more about the book!  I would assume that everyone has heard the bible story of Jonah and the Whale, well that story is pretty much told from Jonah's perspective, well this cute little book is written from the Whale's perspective.  You probably asking yourself, I did, how is this story going to be told by the whales perspective and still get the same point across?  I must say that it does, and it id just pure fun and comedic.  I wasn't really sure at first just how this story was going to fit in with the traditional story...

I will not giveaway just how it all works out, but I do have a copy of the book to giveaway to one of my LUCKY readers! This is a must read and I can promise nothing except that you and your children will enjoy it!

The Blog Workshop Confrence, are you attending? #TBW

  

  Are you attending the Blog workshop Conference? This is a conference that has made it easy for everyone to attend.  There is no travel, hotel stay, or extra food cost, because this conference will be held online.  I know several people that have always wanted to attend a blog conference but because of the costs involved can not attend, myself included, but this year because this one is online, I also have the opportunity to attend and don't have to leave my family.

     I am also a person when I go somewhere, purchase something, or do something, I like to know that I am helping someone out.  Kind of like a donation to a cancer society or women's shelter.  With the purchase of the Blog Workshop Conference tickets, 10% of ALL sales will go to Wellspring Living, and Atlanta Day Shelter for women and Children.  So this is a great opportunity for you to learn some new ideas for your blog, meet some of the sponsors from different blog groups, and help out 2 great organizations, Sounds to me like a win/win situation.

Wellspring Living's mission is to confront the issue of childhood sexual abuse and exploitation through awareness, training, and treatment programs for women and girls.

Atlanta Day Shelter's mission is to ease the burden of homelessness for women and children and to assist in establishing self-sufficiency by providing comprehensive education and supportive services in a manner that respects human dignity

Breakaway review and giveaway

-

BREAK AWAY synopsis: Francois is a hard-working husband and dad that gets laid off from his job. None of his efforts to get another job succeed, and he is forced to use what he has, including an old bicycle, in order to provide for his family. With the help of his "black sheep" brother, a bicycle shop owner and a pro-cyclist, Francois makes some life-changing discoveries about his life, career and faith in God. Although a fictional story, BREAK AWAY, was inspired by true events around the recession that left people without work. The message brings hope and offers practical and Biblical solutions in a very entertaining way.

My Thoughts:
This film reminded me of some things that I have also struggled with in my life in the past.  Francois lost his job in the film and with his faith in God struggles but shows us how we can still succeed.  As I was watching I was reminded of the time I had called  into my job and asked for the weekend off because my Aunt was dieing and I wanted to go to Georgia to see her before she passed.  I was told I could not have any time off and that I better be there.  The day that I was to show up for work and I was getting prepared to leave and my phone rang, and the man on the phone told me who he was (My supervisor) and that there was no need to come to work, I was fired.  At that point I was worried because I did not know how I was going to feed my son but I knew that God would make a way, it also gave me the opportunity to go see my Aunt before she passed.  Within 30 minutes of the phone call telling me I no longer had a job, I received another one telling me that if I wanted it I had a job starting Monday morning.  This job paid more money, closer to home, and much much better hours.  
When Francios lost his job, he was in fact jobless much longer than I was but showed everyone he was around that Faith in God would bring him to a successful life, and by the end he had succeeded.

     This was a great movie but parts of it were hard to understand.  I guess with each area of just the US we have our own slang, and accent.  I know when I go to NY they tend to laugh at me because I am straight up southern and I hear a lot of What?  But as you watch the film you can figure out what they are saying or at least the point they are making.  It is a great film and I recommend to everyone!

If you would like to win a copy of this film, then all you have to do is follow the simple instructions in Rafflecopter!  One of my lucky readers will win a copy of their own!

Woolite dark vs everyday

 
     About 10 years ago, if someone told me that I needed to buy Woolite laundry detergent I would have laughed at them.  One I thought the price for the amount I received was a little bit high, but now you can get a full size bottle of the Woolite for dark clothes or the Everyday use and a very reasonable price.  I have always liked Woolite but just could not always afford it.

     As a Crowdtap member I received free samples to use and share that also included a $1.00 off coupon.  I used one sample and gave all the others out to friends and family.  I then had to take my coupon and go buy me a full size bottle just to keep in the house because I loved the way it cleaned my clothes and just made my towels smell fresh. 

     Woolite at one time would have been considered a specialty detergent, but now it is just for everything.  It keeps those favorite pair of jeans that you just can't seem to get rid of and makes them look good enough that you don't have.  You can preserve your dark clothes, nothing makes me any more upset than to wash my black jeans and they turn Grey.  I suppose if I wanted grey jeans I would have bought grey jeans.  Woolite has become a necessity in my home and now my families home.

     While I have family that suffers from detergent allergies, I have not heard of anyone that had any problems using Woolite.  It is strong enough to clean the clothes from light enough for the most sensitive skin.
