The Radio Drama My Children Love! {plus a Giveaway!}

Brinkman AdventuresThe second we unwrapped the CDs and put them in the radio, I knew we had a new favorite in our house!  My children sat glued to the CD player listening to the adventures of real missionaries.

As a mom, I was thrilled with the quality of the audio dramas and the fact that the main characters are a large homeschooling family.  I was also thrilled to see my younger children playing “Missionary Boot Camp”!  It proved to me that what they were hearing was really penetrating their little hearts and minds.

Every single one of my children from 14 down to 19 months listens to these and almost all of them can quote them forward and backward (that’s how many times they have listened to them in the past several months!).

Since we purchased our 15 passenger van we have been without a CD player in the vehicle, but I’m considering finding a way to economically install one with good speakers so that we can listen to these while on vacation.  Listening to audio dramas on family vacation is a tradition I sorely miss and these would be perfect!  And I found out recently the Bultmans are getting ready to write Season 2!

I would also encourage you to contact your local Christian radio stations and ask that they carry the Brinkman Adventures as a summer special.  More than 70 stations already have them slated for play!

And if you know any good, true stories of missionaries who are currently serving, Brinkman Adventures would love to hear from you!

My dear readers, it is the Bultman’s prayer that these missionary stories get into as many people’s hands as possible.  You will find they truly have a heart for missions and for the Lord’s work everywhere.  Even though they provide their CDs on a “pay as you are able” basis, please, please consider donating more to help further their work.  And don’t miss the opportunity in the giveaway widget to download the first 3 episodes as their gift to you.

May you be blessed as our family has been blessed

Mother’s Day Lilla Rose Giveaway!

I fell in love with Lilla Rose products when my friend Misty let me try some out and I realized they would hold my extremely thick hair without breaking.  I loved how I could take a simple hairstyle and transform it into something fancy with just a clip.  My daughters have come to love their hair bands too.  They are so simple, yet elegant.  And of course, I am fond of their hair sticks as long as I stay away from my husband who has the terrible urge to pull them out of my hair so my hair falls down!

So, today, I want to bring you a Mother’s Day Lilla Rose Giveaway courtesy of the mama who first introduced them to me…Misty of Sweet Hairlooms!

Moore Family Films Review and Giveaway!

Recently, we made the decision to watch more films that encourage our family to action and discussion.  So many people mindlessly watch movies, but we wanted more than that.  We wanted to bring wholesome God-honoring films into our children’s lives that did more than entertain.

An answer to that prayer came from the Moore Family Films!

When our 3 Pack of DVD’s arrived, we were so excited.  We let the children choose what they wanted to watch first and the cute little guy on the front of the More Than Maple Syrup won their hearts.

“I felt after watching the movie that WE could go out and tap a maple tree and have maple syrup.”
~Ty (my husband)

***************

“Can we have pancakes with real maple syrup in the morning for breakfast, Mom?!”
The Roberts children

More Than Maple Syrup is such a wonderful film.  We have watched it over and over!  We love how the entire Moore family has a part in making the syrup and the humor and fun they have throughout the film is refreshing.

I sat down with my oldest daughter for a Mother/Daughter night to watch It’s Your Life: The Moss Family.  We really enjoyed the film and I found myself thinking how much mom’s facing repeat c-sections needed to see this film!

The final film in the set is Children are a Blessing.  I sat and watched this film for the first time by myself.  I wept as I felt renewed in my calling as a mother.  I wanted to wake all my children up and kiss each and every one of them and tell them right then and there how precious they are to me.  Edee Moore looked absolutely radiant as she spoke of the difficulties of pregnancy, but the rewards and blessings that come from allowing the Lord control of the womb.  (By the way, Edee gave birth to baby #11 a little over a week ago!  Congratulations!)  The Bonus Features on this film are a must-see as well – I loved the interview with Shane & Edee – so real and open and honest!

**ATTENTION**  The Moore Family is offering free online viewing of Children are a Blessing through the month of April as well as a sale price of $10, so you can stock up and hand this out to others who might need to hear this important message!  Click here to watch!

The Moore Family is graciously giving away 1 DVD each to 3 different winners here on Raising Arrows!  Use the Rafflecopter widget below to enter to win!  (Email readers, please click over to the giveaway here.)
