Life as a Leach

      Do you have a little girl who loves princesses?  How about stickers?  These books combine the two loves of so many little girls into faith-filled stories for your little ones.  Designed for ages 4-8, these books have 50 reusable stickers that help tell stories about Joy and her four princess sisters.  The stickers are easy for little fingers to remove and can easily be repositioned as needed. Since "Joy" is sort of a theme in my house, I was drawn to Princess Joy right away.  Since Princess Grace was another one in the same series, I knew my girl would love it too! These are fun books for the car, to take on the airplane, or to do while waiting in the doctor's office.  In fact, one of these just might get packed for our plane ride to Florida!

A few months ago, I was given an opportunity to review a notebook designed to organize information for the caregiver of a special needs child or chronically ill person.  I loved the idea and wanted to see what the end product looked like, so I agreed. I received The Caregiver's Notebook while Abby was in the hospital (timely!) and was so impressed with the thought that was put into this book.  The author, Jolene Philo, really included everything a caregiver could possible need!  I wish I'd had this notebook when I first started out on our special needs journey. The notebook is separated with tabs and includes emergency information, a calendar, a list of meds, contact info, medical history, insurance, legal documents, and schedules.  And there's A LOT of space!  This is almost always an issue for us when we fill out medical forms for Abby.  "See attached sheet" is pretty much always written! What I like most though is the encouragement this book gives...
