Motivate Your Child (Huge Giveaway!)
I am excited to be part of the launch team for the book Motivate Your Child: A Christian Parent's Guide to Raising Kids Who Do What They Need to Do Without Being Told.
I haven't had a lot of time to read through it yet, but the little bit I have read has already given me much food for thought. (In fact, I've been putting it into practice and have already seen some great results in my hard-to-reach little guy!) I've been reading a preview copy online, and I can't wait to get my hard copy in the mail so I can start highlighting it and making notes in it!
And I have something special for you too!
To celebrate the release of Motivate Your Child: A Christian Parent's Guide to Raising Kids Who Do What They Need to Do Without Being Told, members of the Launch Team are sharing a wonderful giveaway filled with a Go Pro Camera, $50 Mardel Gift Card, $25 Amazon Gift Card, and book bundles from both the National Center for Biblical Parenting and Thomas Nelson Publishing!

Here’s How to Get a Free Healthy Living Bundle
There was a Healthy Living Bundle available back in the fall that had over $1000 worth of resources at a huge discount. I buy every single one of these bundles because they're just really, really great. (This one includes some amazing eBooks, an essential oils eCourse worth $100, and some free products like a glass straw, beeswax lotion and lip balm, and herbal formulas from Trilight Health — it's so much fun!)
I just found out that they're bringing the Healthy Living Bundle back for the New Year to help you reach all those goals you're going to set. And here's the best part — you can get your bundle free with just a teensy bit of work!
Yup. All that stuff I mentioned (and a lot more) can be yours completely free.
Here's what you need to do:
1. Enter your info here to receive a free 4 day challenge.
2. As soon as you enter your info, you'll receive a link that you can share with your friends.
3. Share the link and if 10 of them sign up for their free 4 day challenge, you get a free bundle worth over $1000. How hard is it to get somebody to sign up for something free?! (Hint: not hard. Especially if you tell them the same thing I'm telling you — that they can refer 10 of their friends and get themselves a free bundle.)
Lots of people took advantage of this last time around, and got their free bundles.
So go! And enjoy!
Homeschool Adventure Giveaway
We're wrapping up the final day of the 12 Days of Homeschool Giveaways with a bang!
Our sponsor today, Homeschool Adventure – Engaging Resources to help your family cultivate and defend a biblical worldview, is giving away a HUGE prize pack containing one of each of the following resources.
DO YOU NEED to teach advanced writing and speaking skills?
DO YOU WANT your students equipped to discern truth as ungodly messages bombard them?
DO YOU WONDER how to cover all they need academically as well as practically?
Philosophy Adventure™ may be your solution!
Philosophy Adventure™—Pre-Socratics helps students 6th-12th grade cultivate and defend a biblical worldview by teaching them how to write skillfully, think critically, and speak articulately.
It can be used as a stand-alone curriculum or with other resources, including:
- Creative Freewriting Adventure
- The Wise Woman with Literary Analysis Journal Questions
- Philippians in 28 Weeks
- Mere Christianity Critical Analysis Journal
Creative Freewriting Adventure bring joy and excitement into your student’s writing with simple-to-execute (yet significant) writing exercises. No prep required. Just grab a pen and paper, set a timer, and have fun!
The Wise Woman with Literary Analysis Journal Questions enchants readers while it contrasts the ugliness of pride, selfishness and conceit with the beauty of humility, sacrifice, and compassion. By offering students 16 to 24 literary analysis questions per chapter, it teaches critical thinking in a way that is engaging and transformational.
Mere Christianity Critical Analysis Journal is a powerful tool to strengthen critical thinking while cultivating a biblical worldview. A companion to Lewis’s classic work, the Journal can be used for independent study with teenagers or adults, or as a group study in families, homeschools, co-ops, classrooms, Sunday school, and small groups.
It is easier to share the Word of God when it is etched upon your heart.
Philippians in 28 Weeks™ is a delightful and painless way to commit the entire book of Philippians to memory. Five simple steps create a streamlined approach with memory cards carefully constructed to present Philippians thought-by-thought, copy work verses, journal questions, weekly reflections, recitation charts to test your retention, and an optional tracking tool called “The Log.”

Winners will be notified via email and will have 48 hours to respond. If no, response is received within 48 hours a new winner will be chosen. Good luck!
