    Treasury of Bible Stories by Donna Jo Napoli, illus. by Christina Balit (ages 8-12)
    A worthy cultural treasury with appeal to both the faithful and irreligious.” — Kirkus

    Noah’s Ark, Moses, David and Goliath, the ten plagues, Daniel and the lions’ den, Jonah and the giant fish, and many more of the Bible’s most powerful stories — 27 in all — are compellingly retold in this beautifully illustrated treasury. Readers will be fascinated by the ancient people and events they encounter, surprised by some of the lesser known accounts revealed, and inspired by the lessons these tales impart. Stories cover important ground beyond religion, such as culture, history, and geography, and they touch on issues that remain relevant today–faith, loyalty, kindness, violence, generosity, greed, jealousy, and more. These accessible, readible stories give kids a rich picture of biblical times, which encourages them to think about our role in the world and to learn more.

    Napoli’s magical storytelling is sure to ignite children’s imaginations. Along with Balit’s stunning art, this is a book kids will want to explore again and again–a classic that families can read aloud together.

    5,000 Awesome Facts About Everything(ages 8-12) This book is literally busting its covers with fascinating, fun-tastic facts on super, sensational topics that kids love. Who knew that there were so many sweet things to learn about chocolate or that a dozen delicious details about peanut butter would show up on a page with a few splotches of jelly to whet our appetites? Keep turning and a terrifyingly toothy shark tells you all about himself, while other spreads lay out tons of tips on toys and games, mysteries of history, robots and reptiles, sports and spies and wacky words. A visual feast of colorful photographs surrounded by swirling, tipping, expanding, and climbing bits of information in a high-energy design, this book will satisfy both the casual browser and the truly fact obsessed.

    Celebrate Easter(ages 6-9) – The joyous celebration of Easter is seen through a global perspective in this National Geographic volume featuring over 25 vibrant photographs. Witness the holiest day on the Christian calendar as it is celebrated throughout the world: from the famous Easter Egg Roll at the White House to the traditional bonfires throughout Europe, to colorful customs, to the universally popular dying of eggshells worldwide.

    The first-person narrative leads young readers through the origins and traditions of this springtime festival of rebirth and hope. Reverend George Handzo gives parents and teachers a historical and cultural background in his informative note.

    Because I’ve been blogging for so long, I have seen so many things change.

    And trust me, it’s been really scary at times. My monetization strategies have had to adapt. I’ve had to creatively adjust to algorithm changes to keep building my traffic. My blog and business look so different today, but that doesn’t mean blogging is too hard.

    But it does mean I continually invest in learning about what’s new in blogging and what’s working now.

    But blogging training and courses can be hard on the budget (especially if you just lost a ton of traffic and revenue with Google’s latest algorithm update), so when I find a good deal, I want to tell everyone about it!

    And boy, do I have something exciting to tell you about today!

    It’s called the Genius Blogger’s Toolkit.

    The Genius Blogger’s Toolkit is a digital collection of training and tools to help you make more money and grow (or start) your blog.

    Now, this is the 4th year for the Genius Blogger’s Toolkit, but it’s been completely updated from the 2018 version, AND it’s crammed full of more value than it’s ever had before!

    Plus, when you buy the Genius Blogger’s Toolkit, you’ll get access to resources from big-name bloggers and creators like:

    • Ruth Soukup of Living Well, Spending Less and Elite Blog Academy
    • Jennifer Maker, popular craft blogger, and YouTuber
    • Jeff Goins, writer, speaker & entrepreneur
    • Crystal Paine of MoneySavingMom.com
    • and so many more!

    This Toolkit has been curated to give you a comprehensive blogging education that will grow with you as you hit each blogging milestone – at a price that’s too good to miss.

     

    I’ll be back over the next few days to tell you more details about the bundle (because it only lasts for 6 days!), but for now…

    Check out the Genius Blogger’s Toolkit right here:

     

    P.S. You also have the option to buy “cheat sheets” with your bundle. This is a game-changer, because, with these time-saving cheat sheets, you can review all the bundle’s material in less than half the time, and then dive deeper into the topics that matter most for your blog.

    Refresh Your Home With Mrs. Meyer’s Spring Scents

    As I’ve gotten get older (and busier), I’ve learned that spring cleaning doesn’t have to to be a huge, time-consuming affair in order to be effective.

    Even if you don’t have time for a deep clean, something as simple as throwing open the windows or wiping down the countertops with a spring-scented cleaner can breathe new life into a tired space.

    To help you refresh your home, my friends at Grove Collaborative are offering a free spring cleaning set with your first order of $20:

    • Mrs. Meyer’s Spring hand soap

    Existing customers will receive free Grove walnut scrubber sponges — they’re sustainably made and perfect for all your spring cleaning tasks!

    After a dreary winter, I always look forward to the return of spring and Mrs. Meyer’s spring scents: Mint, Peony, and Lilac. Mint smells just like the real thing — sweet and cool. Peony and Lilac are subtle floral scents that remind me of a spring garden in bloom.

    To me, a clean home begins with the products you use — so I’m always looking for ways to eliminate toxins in my cleaning routine. All of Mrs. Meyer’s products are made with plant-derived ingredients and essential oils, so I can feel good using them around my family.

    In addition to Mrs. Meyer’s soaps and multi-surface spray, the spring cleaning set comes with a limited edition Grove Collaborative bubble-up brush with a beautiful wildflower print. Not only does it look beautiful sitting next to my sink; it also makes the task of doing dishes much more enjoyable!

    FREE Mrs. Meyer’s Holiday Set from Grove Collaborative.

    FREE Mrs. Meyer’s Holiday Set from Grove Collaborative

    It’s that time of year again. Our house is buzzing with activity, from hosting out-of-town guests, to throwing holiday parties, to wrapping gifts and decorating the mantel.

    Not surprisingly, my desire to have a clean, welcoming home intensifies tenfold in November.

    Fortunately, it’s also the time of year when Mrs. Meyer’s holiday scents return. Not only do they look and smell festive, they also make the task of cleaning and doing dishes a lot more enjoyable! 

    This year, Mrs. Meyer’s is bringing back three crowd favorites: Iowa Pine, Peppermint, and Orange Clove. I’ve been waiting all year for Iowa Pine to return, because the crisp and spicy scent fills the entire house with wonderful smells of Christmas trees.   

    Right now, you can get a free Mrs. Meyer’s trio in your choice of scents, plus a free set of Grove Collaborative walnut scrubber sponges — all packed up in a limited edition red cleaning caddy for gifting (or keeping!). 

    New customers will get the holiday set when you place your first order of $20:

    • Free Mrs. Meyer’s holiday hand soap
    • Free Mrs. Meyer’s holiday dish soap
    • Free Mrs. Meyer’s holiday multi-surface spray
    • Grove Collaborative red caddy
    • Grove Collaborative walnut scrubber sponges

     

    Plus, if you spend $39, you’ll also receive a free Grove stoneware tray to beautifully display your new holiday soaps.

    If you’re already a Grove customer, you’ll get a free set of my favorite Grove walnut scrubbers  — perfect for cleaning up after baking cookies or pumpkin pie.

    This beautiful red caddy is everything you need to organize your home for the holidays! While you could go the traditional route and use it to store your cleaning supplies, it would also make a great gift wrapping station stocked with tape, ribbons, markers, and tags. Or, wrap your silverware in napkins, secure with a napkin ring, and place them in the caddy for your holiday buffet. 

    Speaking of holiday buffets, there’s no shortage of dirty dishes this time of year. Fortunately, Mrs. Meyer’s dish soap is perfect for tackling tough messes. Put a drop in your roasting pan or crockpot and watch grease disappear! 

    Of course, no kitchen or bathroom is complete without Mrs. Meyer’s hand soap. I get tons of compliments on these scents, and the cheerful bottles are an easy way to spruce up your sink-side display.

    Another holiday hosting must-have is Mrs. Meyer’s multi-surface cleaner. It’s ideal for those last-minute cleanups before guests arrive. You only need one product for countertops, walls, bathroom fixtures, and wood or tile floors. Plus, it leaves your entire home smelling like the holidays.

    Since the holiday season is also flu season, I always keep the multi-surface spray on hand for wiping down faucets, doorknobs, and other surfaces that get touched all the time. 

    Grove Collaborative is also essential for me during the busy holiday season! Grove hand-selects the best natural products and delivers them (carbon offset) right to your doorstep, on your schedule. They’ve got you covered for all your cleaning and organization needs as you head into the holiday season. Don’t forget to stock up on hand soap, toilet paper, and paper towels before your guests arrive!

    When you submit your first order, you’ll also be signed up for the free 60 day VIP trial. For 60 days, you’ll save even more with free shipping, free gifts, price matching, exclusive sales, and customer service. That means more money left over to spend on gifts for your family (or a little treat for yourself!). 

    These holiday sets fly off the shelves faster than toys on Black Friday, so don’t wait! Here’s how to grab your free set:

     

    1. Sign up for Grove Collaborative here. You will receive the FREE Mrs. Meyer’s Holiday Set from Grove Collaborative for free when you sign up as a new customer!
    2. To receive this offer, your order needs to be a minimum of $20. Choose the combination of products and scents you love and receive your first box within a few days.
    3. You made it! Click Finish & Pay and place your order.
