Dolphin Tale 2 Promo & Giveaway

Dolphin Tale 2 is coming to theaters this Friday, September 12th!  It looks like it is going to be a great film that the whole family will enjoy.  Check out the trailer below (and scroll further down for a GIVEAWAY)!

September 12th is not only the opening of Dolphin Tale 2, but also Homeschool Day!  While Little E is too young for schooling, we are considering homeschooling in the future (so it's great to see what is out there).  Homeschool Movie Club has a free Dolphin Tale 2 Curriculum available HERE!

I checked the curriculum out and think it is a great resource for kids, whether homeschooling or not.  It has five different lessons that feature dolphins and the ocean; relating them to the movie along the way.  It contains videos, facts, activities, and experiments for both elementary and middle/high school students.  I know when I was younger, I loved dolphins and many of my friends wanted to be marine biologists when they grew up.  I think Dolphin Tale 2 will get your kids excited to learn more about dolphins and this is the perfect resource to expand their knowledge.

My absolute favorite part of the curriculum is the Classical Conversations PDF that is included.  You start with a topic (in this case dolphins) and then come up with questions that relate to categories such as geography, math, and even bible.  My friend's nephew goes to a Classical Conversations meeting locally with other kids and my friend says they learn so much.  After seeing this curriculum, I can understand why.  It is jam packed with a TON of great information...your kids will learn so much about dolphins!!!

Now on to the GIVEAWAY!  You can enter to WIN a Dolphin Tale 2 T-Shirt and Sunglasses!  Just use the easy peasy Rafflecopter widget below to enter.

Skintimate Mandarin Burst Shave Gel

I received a free full size can of Skintimate Mandarin Burst shave gel to review from Crowdtap.  I actually already use Skintimate daily for shaving, but was excited to test out the new scent.  #SamplingSkintimate
The Mandarin Burst shave gel has hints of mandarin orange, lemon, and lime.  I usually go for flowery smells, but I absolutely love this scent.  It is refreshing, light, and tropical.  It reminds me of summer...something I would love to take with me through fall and beyond.
 I have tried other shaving creams (cheaper) in the past and they just aren't as good.  My old shaving cream came out as a foam and did not spread well.  It kind of disappeared when I put it on my legs.  This Skintimate product comes out as a gel and foams up as you spread it around your legs.  The coverage is really good...I don't have to use very much of the product to fully cover my legs for shaving.

I think this is a great product for keeping legs moisturized and protected during shaving.  I would definitely recommend it.

Treasury of Bible Stories Review & Giveaway

 
I received Treasury of Bible Stories by Kelly Pulley free to review.  I am really excited to tell ya'll about this book because we thoroughly enjoyed it..and have another one to giveaway! :)



This book is a collection of illustrated rhyming bible stories for young readers.  It contains twenty stories, beginning with "Tricked by a Snake: The Slippery Story of Adam and Eve" and ending with "He Has Risen: The Magnificent Story of the Resurrection".
I promise he does look at the book when we read it to him....it's just when the camera is out he has to smile for it!  Lol.
My Review:  As a new mom, I'm always on the look out for books that will cultivate a love of God and reading.  This is the perfect one!  The artwork in this book is amazing.  So colorful and engaging, the pictures will draw your child right in.

I was surprised at how well thought out and executed the rhymes were...they are fun and tell the stories perfectly.  This is a great way to share biblical lessons with the whole family!  My husband, who most of the time could care less about the different reviews I have going on, said, "Make sure you give this book a great review!"  We both have really enjoyed reading this book to Little E.  I know it will be a favorite for years to come.
The best part is that we have been provided the opportunity to give one away!!!  Just enter below using the easy Rafflecopter widget!  :)
