Bible Belles are still one of my favorite scripture based story book series.
Through the past few years I have been reading Bible Belle stories to my daughter and son alike. They both love so much about these books. I love how they incorporate real life situations a child will face with a biblical truth and story from the bible. They love the images and excitement of the story itself.
Deborah was a women that was faced with a very sticky situation, and had to overcome her place in society and be braver than she ever imagined – to become a leader.
I love how this story gives young girls the concept that they too can step up and be brave by being the one in charge. It encourages them that when taking charge is the thing you need to do, that God will equip you to be the girl He desires you to be.
We need to teach our children that we are living to please God, not the people around us. It is Him that holds our lives eternally.
The adventure continues in Book Five of the Bible Belles series. With the angel Mari by her side, Rooney has learned that God has given her four real superpowers: Prayer, Patience, Bravery, and Loyalty. Her transformation into a superhero is almost complete. What’s missing? The Bell of Leadership.
As she watches Deborah rise up and lead an entire nation to victory, Rooney realizes that true leadership means inspiring others and working together. Through the story of Deborah, Rooney learns that God is calling her to lead. Is she ready to answer the call?
Come along with Rooney as she becomes the greatest superhero of all: a Bible Belle!
Canvas Factory specializes in creating keepsakes that your hearts will cherish.
As a parent, our most cherished thing is our children. Watching them grow, seeing them come into their own…its a joy in itself. But we know how quickly these times pass by. Before we know it they are potty trained, going to school, washing their own hair and growing up faster than we can bare.
The easiest, and one of the most affordable ways to keep the images of your amazing children is by showcasing your favorite photos on a custom canvas print from Canvas Factory.
Canvas prints are extremely popular, and due to the high demand for them there are a loads companies that now create them for the public. But how do you know who to trust? Who is going to give you the quality that you desire but at a price a modest budget can afford? MamatheFox found Canvas Factory and decided to give them a try – and man are we happy we did!
The online ordering process from Canvas Factory is not only easy but super fast too! Parents don’t have a lot of down time, we are parenting! Cleaning, cooking, loving on your little ones…we dont have time to monkey around on some website doing all the dirty work. Canvas Factory streamlined their ordering process to ensure you get the product you want but in a fast and easy way.
When you click on “Style & Price” then on “Create Now” you are given the above image on your screen.
You can click on the type of canvas(s) you are looking to create from here. I had a single print created.
When you click where is says USD $34.30 – it will open up to show you all the size options, ranging from 12 x 18 all the way up to 32 x 48.
Here is also where you can select rectangular, square, panoramic or a custom sized canvas shape.
From there you will be lead back to the above image where you can click on the blue button “Continue – Upload a photo”. Now you can upload the images you desire to be printed on your canvas.
Here are the wrap styles – each are great – you just need to choose the one that best suites the image you are printing and where you are hanging it.
I went with the basic Gallery Wrap.
From there you are given the option to edit the photo itself – like making it more red, blue, gray, black and white among several other options.
I left mine as is and did not want to alter my image that I uploaded from my computer.
From there you are see what your canvas will look like!
After you place your order you will get an few emails from Canvas Factory. One will be key – it will contain a proof of your image and they will not print your order until you approve the image. This extra step is what makes for such a happy customer. They want to be sure you are truley happy with the image you choose and how it lines up on the canvas before printing. They want you to fall in love with your canvas the moment your eyes set upon it.
They also offer a large selection of college type canvas sets, split settings and even now offer us Acrylic prints and HD Metel prints! Doing so much more than your average canvas brand.

Let’s face it, technology is not only the way of the future but it is also the future for our children.
They are growing up in a society where cell phones and tablets are like an extension of their body. They are going to be in a society that heavily depends on the use of these types of technology for their careers and lifestyles. They need to be assured that they are secure when using their cellphones no matter what so showing them phone security statistics and discussing with them ways in which they can protect themselves is very important.
Teaching your children to use a cell phone and a tablet is really a very important part of growing up today. However, we do know that too much screen time is not a good thing. We need them to be able to walk away from the phone or tablet and get back to real life, face to face interactions. Playing with toys, talking to people, running around at the park. Taking nature hikes with hiking sticks and exploring the world around them.
I love letting my kids have screen time, I mean I need a break too! I need to finish mopping the floors, cook dinner and maybe check my own Facebook page. But like all things, there is a time and place for everything. Look into internet access guide for kids and parents.
With unGlue, you can turn the internet on and off of your child’s devise through an app! Plus there is so much more it offers.
I have an android for my cell phone, and my children both have their own iPads. I was able to quickly and easily set up the app on my phone and their devices and link them together in under 10 minutes. I was so impressed with the easy flow of set up, I honestly expected it to be a little more involved.
Once on my cell phone and on their tablets, the little app icon is available for you to click on. On the parents device you can see the different accounts you have connected, one for my sons iPad and another line for my daughters iPad.
I use the Premium plan, but you can try it out for free for 14 days before purchasing. With the Premium plan I am able to set up daily limits on internet time. I set my kids up for 90 minutes of internet Monday through Friday, and on the weekends I allow them 3 hours per day.
If my kids are not listening to me, and need to stop watching YouTube and come to the table, I can instantly shut off the internet from my device. This is such a handy tool for the stubborn days when they just cannot peel their eyes away from the latest blind bag video they discovered, or you could look into services like unrankedlolaccounts.com if your son can’t take his hands away from the keyboard trying to level up his character.
I can also access reports, showing me how things like how long he watched YouTube this week or even this month.
If you want, you have the opportunity to allow your kids to earn more screen time. They can go into the app through their device and request the opportunity to earn more screen time by completing chores like reading a book, empty the dishwasher, set the dinner table, walk the dog, and you can even add custom options too!
Screen time may be the most precious commodity in your home. unGlue lets your kids treat it like cash – a minute saved is a minute earned. Teach them to spend it wisely. You can put put limits on how much earned time your child can use in a day too – so that they cannot veg out for 8 straight hours on the internet.
Once the time is out for the day the app or website will no longer work. They can click over to their unGlue app and see that they are out of time and ponder whether they want to ear more time, use the time they earned or switch to a non internet, education game which you have already place on their device.
