Meet Your 2023 Goals to Move More with the Help of the Alevo Alu

The start of a new year often means setting goals and making resolutions to try and live a healthier life. As we get older, whether due to age or health or both, these goals/resolutions may be more difficult to accomplish, but don't give up! Spring is upon us and happily there are "tools" to help us. One such "tool" is the Alevo Alu by Porsche design. And, with Spring nearly upon us, getting out and moving is far more enjoyable! If you - or someone you love - experience challenges with mobility, or just need something to help you be more secure in your walking, the Alevo Alu is for you!

CLUE: Scooby Doo! Board Game

When I was a child we always received board games for Christmas. After we all opened our games we spent a good portion of the rest of the day around the table playing each others new games. I remember one year I received "Go for Broke" (the opposite of Monopoly) and my sister received "Careers" (which I thought was SO much fun!) Of course we also had games which were the "family's games", such as Life, Monopoly, Scrabble and Clue. I especially loved Clue, so today I am so happy to share with you about a "new" take on the old classic game of Clue - and recommend it as a fun buy for summer family fun.

The Centuro Mini - a Very "Mobile" Mobility Scooter

Spring is upon us - at least here in Michigan, although we are definitely getting more snow tonight! But, warmer temps are in the forecast and it is inevitable as we move through March, warmer weather will become the norm! This means the outside will become significantly more inviting, so if you - or someone you love - has mobility issues, then definitely consider getting a Centuro Mini and you will discover you (or they) are able to enjoy the outdoors and all Spring has to offer!

Let's Grandparent on Purpose!

I had a conversation with a friend of mine at church who also is a grandma (she has 11 grandchildren!) We were talking about how important it is for grandparents to hand down a heritage of confident faith and she shared with me an old Arabic saying; which I’m delighted to share with you today! It goes like this . . . “If you do not have a grandparent in your home; go buy one!”

Don't Worry: It is Impossible to Spoil Grandchildren - A Christmas Gift Which Helps You Do What Matters the Most

Do you agree with me when I write about passing on a heritage of confident faith to the children you love, but are not sure where and how to begin? Do you have friends who are grandparents - or parents - who also want to pass on confident faith, but are also not sure where to begin? Are you looking for a Christmas gift for a grandparent/parent you know which is a good read and one which will help them know how to do what matters the most?

crafting with grandma - Bell Candy Cane Ornaments!

My grandsons participated in my church's mid-week Children's Ministry pre-covid when they were younger, and they made ornaments for each of their teachers. One year they made, melting snowmen ornaments - white glitter in a clear glass ornament with a felt triangle for a nose, two tiny black pom-poms for eyes and stick arms - very cute and a lot of fun to make and receive!

CRKT M16-02SS - a Fantastic Gift

I recently received a wonderful knife for review from CRKT - so today I am very happy to let you know all about it. If you have someone on your gift list who enjoys knives, this makes a fantastic gift to give - and receive!

Centuro Mini - THE Mobility Scooter for You & Those You Love

Last year I received a special delivery which I am happy to tell you about again today. Bischoff & Bischoff (one of Europe's largest manufacturers of rollators and mobility scooters) sent me their Centuro Mini. Today I am very happy to let you know about this excellent mobility scooter. 

The Reason for God - Absolutely a Must-Have Book

 

Many grandparents/ parents find themselves in a place where they are needing to answer questions relating to why they should believe God is real, the Bible is true, God and science go together, and God is good from their grandchildren/grown children/children. While some may know the answers, many do not. This is why today I am so very happy to share with you a book which answers these very questions - and does so with excellent, thoughtful answers. Tim Keller is the author of The Reason for God and this is a must-have book for every grandparent/parent.

Give the Best Christmas Gift - the Alevo Alu

 

Christmas is two months away and many of us are thinking about the gifts we want to give to the ones we love. If you have someone on your list who due to health issues or age need a bit of help to get out and about with security and stability, then the Alevo Alu Rollator is the perfect gift to give them this Christmas!

Escape - Avoiding the Traps of Modern Christianity - Get Your Kindle Copy for just .99!

About a month or so ago I shared with you about a new book written by a friend - Chasing Whales. I highly recommend it! (You will find my review at this link.) Today I want to let you know about another book Michael Chanley which you are able to pre-order as a kindle copy for just .99 and will release to print copy next month - Escape: Avoiding the Traps of Modern Christianity.

Learn, Be Prepared, Hand Down Confident Faith with the little answer book

There are people I know and love who have turned from the faith they once had, so I researched to find answers to the question - why should I believe? I discovered there are solid answers and compiled them into a simple book - the little answer book.

 Why might you want this book? consider the following . . . 

Anchored will Help You Teach the "Whys" - More Important Now than Ever

Today I want to share about an important, much needed, new resource for your church's Children's Ministry - please share this post with the leaders in your church.

Yesterday I read an article about new Gallup Poll results regarding how fewer people in the USA now see the Bible as the literal Word of God. The new poll showed, what was to me, a shocking result - only 20% of people believe the Bible is the literal Word of God - only 20%. This is the lowest percentage since they began taking this poll in 1976. Even more shocking to me, this is the first time more people - 29% - "say the Bible is a collection of 'fables, legends, history and moral precepts recorded by man.'" They went on to say, "This marks the first time significantly more Americans have viewed the Bible as not divinely inspired than as the literal word of God."

Beyond Van Gogh - A "Really Cool Sensory Experience for the Whole Family"

Beyond Van Gogh came to my town and I was given two tickets to be able to share a review with you - today I am very happy to do so. If you are not yet familiar with "Beyond Van Gogh", please allow me to let you know what it is all about. They describe it as - "Beyond Van Gogh is a new truly immersive experience. While other shows use virtual reality or still images, our show breaks barriers by incorporating both still and moving art. Masterpieces, now freed from frames, come alive, appear, and disappear, flow across multi-surfaces, the minutia of details titillating our heightened senses. The show is projected on every surface around you, this makes you feel as though you have stepped directly into a Van Gogh painting. We accompany the show with a beautiful score and include many other surprises! Through the use of cutting-edge projection technology and an original score, Beyond Van Gogh breathes new life into over 300 of Van Gogh’s artworks. Occupying over 30,000 square feet, Beyond Van Gogh is the largest immersive experience in the country, offering guests ample room to safely enjoy the exhibit. Comprised of over four trillion content pixels, this high-resolution portrayal of Van Gogh’s work gives guests the opportunity to become one with his paintings."
