Seeds Family Worship new Lullaby album {review and giveaway}

Congrats Hannah on winning the Lullaby Album!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Our family owns several Seed Family Worship CDs. They are on a mission to get God’s Word through Seeds into as many homes (and hearts) as possible around the world.

It's fun to listen to this music while we're doing school or in the car. The songs are so catchy that they're not distracting but can be amazing background that sinks deep into everyone's hearts. All Seed Family Worship music is pure scripture. No interpretation, no false theology. Just plain Bible verse to music. An amazing way for you AND your children to memorize scripture together. On top of that, the music is quality, variety of styles, repetitive {in a good way}, and rarely cheesey. I have to be honest, every once in a while it's a bit cheddar, but it's kids' music so little bit is expected. It's upbeat and fun. There are kids singing {again still quality} and encourages my kids to sing along and dance up a storm.

Recently, we were given their new Lullaby album to review. Logically, with new foster babes in and out of our "guest" room, it was nice to have more "sleeepy time music" for bedtime in their room as well as in the car for dreaded car-naps on long rides. But on a deeper level, it is an amazing thought to know that scripture is sewing into them, no matter how long or short a stay they have with us.

Along with my album, they are offering my readers the same album for one of you to enjoy! To Enter To Win:: click through this link and fill out the Rafflecopter. I'll use this secure system to choose a winner and announce it on Monday {3-15-16}.

Crafty Beards {for Babies} + a GIVEAWAY

January 21, 2013 by Jules 21 Comments

Anybody else still thawing out from a randomly frigged cold front?!? What a perfect time for a cozy giveaway, eh?

You know I like to say thanks for read'n my ramblings as often as possible and it's been way too long since I've done a giveaway sooooo, I'm gonna hook ya up!

I have made this sweat friend through The Homemaker's Challenge where we both contribute, Nicole Beard. She is one crafty lil chicka!

Nicole is a 25 Year old Christian wife and soon to be mother {woop!}, living in Kansas but originally from Florida! Her mother taught me to crochet when she was a lil bitty kid, and over the years she's picked up different techniques and patterns from various sources. Her prayer is to honor the Lord with her craft. How cool is that?

These stylish crochet newborn caps with earflaps will keep your little one (or the little one receiving a gift!) warm and cozy. Sold in a pack of 2, dark blue and bright green. Caps are approximately 5 inches from top to bottom and the ear flaps add approximately 2 inches to the length and will comfortably cover the baby's ears. The diameter is approximately 7 inches.

Please contact me Nicole for special orders - she can be made in any color you'd like! Boy, girl or neutral! Makes a wonderful gift as well. Ear flaps are optional and the caps can be made special order without them. (from my Etsy shop product description).

As far as the rest of the products on the CraftyBeards shop, she can make anything on there in any other color! She does take special orders for everything.

Today's giveaway is the adorable 2-pack caps in this photo:

How stank'n cute would these be with giant bows hooked on them?

Here is the how we're gonna do the giveaway. Rather than complicate things with a Rafflecopter, we're doing the good ole fashion comment method. Make sure you use an email where I can reach you with further info if/when you win.

Leave a separate comment for each of the following:

Head over to the Crafty Beards Etsy Shop and tell me your favorite thing Nicole offers

Matthew 20:1-16 {20 Days of Giveaways: Day 20}

August 19, 2012 by Jules 2 Comments

Matthew 20:1-16

The Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard

20 “For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire workers for his vineyard. ²He agreed to pay them a denarius^[a] for the day and sent them into his vineyard.

³“About nine in the morning he went out and saw others standing in the marketplace doing nothing. ⁴He told them, ‘You also go and work in my vineyard, and I will pay you whatever is right.’ ⁵So they went.

“He went out again about noon and about three in the afternoon and did the same thing. ⁶About five in the afternoon he went out and found still others standing around. He asked them, ‘Why have you been standing here all day long doing nothing?’

⁷“‘Because no one has hired us,’ they answered.

“He said to them, ‘You also go and work in my vineyard.’

⁸“When evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his foreman, ‘Call the workers and pay them their wages, beginning with the last ones hired and going on to the first.’

⁹“The workers who were hired about five in the afternoon came and each received a denarius. ¹⁰So when those came who were hired first, they expected to receive more. But each one of them also received a denarius. ¹¹When they received it, they began to grumble against the landowner. ¹²‘These who were hired last worked only one hour,’ they said, ‘and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden of the work and the heat of the day.’

¹³“But he answered one of them, ‘I am not being unfair to you, friend. Didn’t you agree to work for a denarius? ¹⁴Take your pay and go. I want to give the one who was hired last the same as I gave you. ¹⁵Don’t I have the right to do what I want with my own money? Or are you envious because I am generous?’

¹⁶“So the last will be first, and the first will be last.”

Preservation Theory {20 Days of Giveaways: Day 19}

August 19, 2012 by Jules 2 Comments

As a band, Preservation Theory has a strong desire to first put God above all things. As musicians, PT has a desire to lead people in worship of our God and to make themselves available for anyone who might need a worship band. They do not charge for appearances. This means that the smallest church with no budget can have them play an event for nothing. PT wants to be a ministry that goes where God calls them. If that happens to be a youth group of ten, they are happy to be serving the Savior in any way they are able.
