The Legend of the Easter Robin Review & Giveaway #EasterRobin #FlyBy

Easter is coming soon and my daughters are so excited! We recently received The Legend of the Easter Robin to review. It was a wonderful story and one that I was grateful to be able to share with my girls. They had never heard the story before so that was a fun extra as well.  

About the book:

In the center of the nest lay one perfect egg, the color of a spring sky. The father robin sat on a branch nearby, guarding his family. Tressa spotted raccoon tracks below and a blue jay eyeing the nest. “Gran, how are we going to keep the egg safe?” “We’ll have to leave that one to the Creator,” Gran said. Robins have built a nest on the window ledge at Grandmother’s house! Tressa is thrilled―and concerned. What will happen to the sky-blue egg laid by the mother robin? As more eggs appear, Tressa witnesses the daily drama of the robins’ nest and learns how God cares for all creatures. Besides watching the birds, there are Easter eggs to color. And there is a very special story to hear―a tale of long ago about one small bird with a very big heart. How did the robin get its red breast? Tressa is about to find out as Gran tells her the story of the Easter robin. Brought to life with colorful, tender illustrations, The Legend of the Easter Robin will captivate and teach your child about compassion and faith.

Captive DVD Review and Giveaway #CaptiveMovie #FlyBy

Hi Friends, I was recently blessed with an opportunity to review the DVD, Captive. I was so excited to review it because I had just recently read the book. The book was wonderful and I just knew the movie would compliment it perfectly. I was so right. The movie was awesome! 

Many people probably remember the headlines of the escape, manhunt and capture of a man named, Brian Nichols. What we didn't know before the book and movie was what happened in the hours following his escape and then his eventual capture. Captive brings to light how faith and a chance encounter can change lives forever.

Based on a miraculous story about the power of faith, Captive is an "amazing, inspiring" drama about the spiritual collision of two lost souls, Brian Nichols (Golden Globe Nominee David Oyelowo), on the run from police and desperate to make contact with his newborn son, takes recently widowed mother Ashley Smith (Kata Mara) hostage in her own apartment. Fearing for her life and desperately hoping to see her daughter again, she turns to Rick Warren's The Purpose Driven Life for guidance. Ashley and her captor face a crossroads where they discover hope and light in the midst of despair in the moving film that Dick Rolfe, CEO, Dove Foundation hailed as "powerful." 

As I watched the story I couldn't help but think how we don't have to be perfect or all put together for God to use us. To use us in ways that are incredible.

DVD Release Date: January 5, 2016 

Runtime: 96 minutes 

Rating: PG-13 (for mature thematic elements involving violence and substance abuse) 

There are over 30 minutes of bonus content on this DVD including Journey Through Darkness: Filming Captive and Faith and The Purpose Driven Life. Also included with this DVD is a Digital HD copy that can be instantly streamed and downloaded.

The Plans I Have For You Devotional & Journal Review & Giveaway #PlansIHave #FLYBY

About The Plans I Have For You Devotional: 

The devotional is an illustrated 90-day devotional written by bestselling children's book author Amy Parker and illustrated by Vanessa Brantley-Newton, teaching and inspiring kids to dream about their future, to focus on faith, love, and joy, and recognize that God has a plan and purpose for each and every one of us.  

Hardcover; 160 pages

Age Range: 8-12 years

About The Plans I Have For You Journal:

The journal prompts creative thinking and exploration of the talents and personalities that make us special, and then helps explore how God may use our unique traits to spread love and joy and make the world a better place.

Stationery; 208 pages
Age Range: 11-14 years

Our Thoughts:

My 12 year old daughter fell in love with both the devotional and the journal the day they arrived at our doorstep. She has enjoyed reading each day in the The Plans I Have For You Devotional. She has also loved how creative she can be with the corresponding journal. She has been doing daily bible studies for a few years now, but this has helped her already in so many ways. For instance, she is now coming to me and telling me about bible stories she is learning about. In the past, I would find studies for her and we would go over them together. It's fun to see her learning about God's word and how he uses our unique traits for the good.

I'm excited for her to continue on through the devotional. It's also nice to know that I can purchase more journals for her two sisters. I know that it is something they will also enjoy and benefit from as well.

About author Amy Parker:

Amy Parker has sold more than thirty books for children, teens, and adults. She has also collaborated with authors ranging from New York Times bestsellers to her very own son. Two of these collaborations are recipients of Christian retailing's Best Awards, and she has also won three Mom's Choice Awards. But Amy's greatest reward is being a wife to Daniel and a mom to their amazing sons, Michael and Ethan.

About illustrator Vanessa Brantley-Newton:

Vanessa Brantley-Newton is a self-taught illustrator, doll maker, and crafter. Her passion for children's books began when she came across The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats as a child in the 1960s. Growing up in a musical family who love to sing, Vanessa's illustrations are as fun and whimsical as a beautiful melody. Vanessa currently makes her nest in Charlotte, NC with her husband of 20 years, their daughter, and a very rambunctious cat named Stripes.

Korie Robertson's Book Strong and Kind - Review & Giveaway

About Strong and Kind

The Details: 

Hardcover; 240 pages
Publisher: Harper Collins Christian Publishing


In Strong and Kind Korie Robertson—with the help of her mom, Chrys Howard, and with insights and stories from her husband, Willie—introduces nine character traits that children need in order to lead a successful life. And though there are no perfect parents or perfect children, Korie shares principles—based on biblical wisdom and time-tested practices—that will help you parent your own one-of-a-kind child.

Korie Robertson argues that developing good character in our children is the single most important thing we can do to help ensure they lead happy, healthy adult lives. I completely agree. Mrs. Robertson also explores key traits and what they truly look like in action. She asks readers to select the two traits that they hope to see most in their children and shares hands-on ways for nurturing strength of character.  

You truly can't help but be drawn into "Strong and Kind". Korie Robertson's advice in the book not only follows Biblical teachings, but it is also how she and Willie have raised their children. She delivers sound advice and makes complete sense with her message. Her writing style makes me feel as if I'm having a heart to heart with a friend. I'm positive that anyone who reads this book will be encouraged and inspired by it. 

About Korie Robertson:

Korie Robertson is a New York Times bestselling author, the wife of Duck Commander® CEO Willie Robertson and star of A&E’s Duck Dynasty. A mother of five, Korie balances family life and her role at Duck Commander with several ventures of her own, including her retail store Duck & Dressing, overseeing licensing for the family’s brands and philanthropic work with a children’s home in the Dominican Republic, Help One Now and adoption and foster care advocacy in Louisiana. Her writing credits include Duck Commander Devotions for Kids, The Women of Duck Commander: Surprising Insights from the Women Behind the Beards About What Makes This Family Work, Faith Commander: Living Five Values from the Parables of Jesus and The Duck Commander Family: How Faith, Family, and Ducks Built a Dynasty.

Captive by Ashley Smith REVIEW #FOLLOWYOURPURPOSE #FLYBY @flybypromotions Review and Giveaway

CAPTIVE, based on a miraculous true story that drew the attention of the entire nation, is a thrilling drama about the spiritual collision of two broken lives. When Brian Nichols - on the run as the subject of a city wide manhunt and desperate to make contact with his newborn son - takes recovering meth addict Ashley Smith hostage in her own apartment, she turns for guidance to Rick Warren’s best-selling inspirational book, The Purpose Driven Life. While reading aloud, Ashley and her would-be killer each face crossroads where despair and death intersect hope.


This was a book that I could not put down. It captured my attention from the beginning to the end. It was amazing to see how God was working in Ashley Smiths life. I think it's so great that she credits God for many miracles that took place during her ordeal.

Captive is now a major motion picture from Paramount. Starting September 18, it is being released in theaters. The movie stars David Oyelowo, who played Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in the recent film, Selma. I can't wait to see it!

Dial® Kids Foaming Hand Wash & Dial® Baby Body + Hair Wash REVIEW and GIVEAWAY

For 67 years, the Dial® brand has been developing trusted personal care products for clean, healthy skin. I'm excited to introduce their latest products developed with pediatric dermatologists for babies' perfect skin.  Dial® Baby Body + Hair Wash gently removes environmental dirt for a head to toe clean.

My daughter absolutely loves the Dial® Kids Foaming Hand Wash. I'm impressed with the amount of hand washing that has been going on. I mean seriously don't all parents love when their children are washing their hands without being told? I think so. I love that it is hypoallergenic. It also contains no artificial dyes and no parabens. Most of all, I love that it is gentle on kids’ skin! It also has such a pleasant watermelon scent. It's a foaming soap so there is no need to worry about lathering it up.


Dial® Baby Body + Hair Wash is another wonderful product. Perfect for children ages 0-2, because it's tear free and fragrance free. In my opinion it's actually pretty great for older kids as well. My daughter always worries about getting soap in her eyes and with this product she isn't worried about that.  I think it's wonderful that it is a body wash and a hair wash in one. That really makes it easy on parents. This eliminates the need to purchase two separate products, thus saving us money. I continue to be impressed with Dial®. I think they are a wonderful company with excellent products!
