The Story of Everdream: The Christmas Witch

December 18, 2011 By

One of my favorite things about dragging our holiday decorations up from the basement is bringing out our holiday books. We’ve saved almost all of the Christmas books we’ve purchased for our children since they were babies. We have books that range from toddler holiday books to books that grown ups can read.

Even though our children are older it’s still fun to read their favorite Barney holiday book and other books from when they were younger. I think my husband and I read them more then the kids too. For us its a bit of nostalgia – remembering when our children used to believe in Santa Claus and how excited they were to crawl up on our laps to read them the stories. Sigh… I miss those days.

I’m always happy to add to our holiday book collection. Each year I seem to add at least one book.

This year we added the book The Story of Everdream: The Christmas Witch, to our collection.

The idea of a Christmas witch seemed a bit odd to me. Witches are typically not very nice (in stories – I don’t mean real life witches). When I think witch I think about the witch from Wizard of Oz. She certainly doesn’t evoke visions of sugarplums and candy canes.

I always keep an open mind about things so when I was sent the book to review I tried not to focus on the idea of a “witch”.

 

The Story of Everdream: The Christmas Witch features a girl name Holly. While out playing in the woods one day she meets a wonderful little fairy who comes from a magical place called Everdream. Everdream is a place that exists in the clouds. Fairies and elves live in Everdream.

Holly was lucky to go someplace where other people have never gone before – the Everdream. Once there she learned that the fairies and elves helped Santa every Christmas. There was even a special door that Santa and the residents of Everdream used to get to and from the North Pole. The idea of the door reminded me of The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe. :-)

In the story Santa has a sister name Jellis. Jellis was very JEALOUS (get the name connection?) of her brother. She wanted to be in charge of Christmas, instead of her brother Santa.

Jellis became very bitter. She hated everything and everyone who lived in Everdream. So she left Everdream to go live with the magical gnomes and learn their magic (which wasn’t good magic).

Jellis later returned to Everdream when her magical powers were stronger and sealed up the door that lead to/from the North Pole. Without this special entrance Santa would be unable to deliver gifts on Chrismas Eve, meaning there would be no Christmas. The only way to have the door re-opened would be to allow Jellis to take over Christmas, and take away all of Santa’s duties.

Will the door ever be opened? Will Jellis end up ruling Christmas? What will happen to Christmas if the door is never re-opened? To find out you’ll just have to pick up a copy of the book.

 

The story was a lot different then other holiday books I have read over the years. It wasn’t the typical “holly jolly” book that I’m accustomed to. There was a bit of sci-fi, drama, whimsy and suspense in this book.

I liked the story because it had a different twist on Christmas. My son liked the story too. My daughter was not fond of it, but it might be becasue she’s older then the target demographic. I would think this book would be geared more towards children 7-11, maybe younger.

The book is a little over 40+ pages long. There is a lot of text squeezed into the pages, so it’s more then a bedtime story. Unless a parent would want to read half of the story one night and the rest of the story the next night.

The illustrations were charming. They looked like they were done with a colored pencil which is different then the way many other books are illustrated.

The Story of Everdream: The Christmas Witch is written by Robert L. Welsh. It is actually Book One, so I would assume there will be other books in this series.

You can purchase a copy of the book at Amazon, Barnes & Noble and other retail locations.

KLUTZ book giveaway (Stamp Art & Draw the DC Universe)

December 15, 2011 By

I love the Winter months and loathe them at the same time. Snow is beautiful and it makes the world seem so peaceful and serene. It’s also fun to go sleigh riding, make snowmen and have snowball fights. Things I dislike about snow is driving in it, shoveling it, how gross it looks when it turns black with car dust/dirt and having my kids stuck inside.

When it’s too cold to be outside, and the kids are bored, they drive me bonkers. There for I am always on the look out for activities they can do to keep them occupied (and help keep my sanity – ha ha).

Klutz, a company that makes a lot of fun activity books and kits for children, send me some great kits for my kids.

Stamp Art makes stamping simpler, and more creative, than ever. Stick the included shapes on the see-through acrylic block to create your own one-of-a-kind stamp design. Full of inspirational artwork and instruction, this stamp-right-in-it book shows how to create animals, flowers, houses, aliens… anything you can dream up. Retail $16.99. For more information please visit http://bit.ly/vO9KXL.

 

Draw the DC Universe is a complete how-to-draw package, jammed with expert tips and techniques, tons of practice space, and of course, a universe of DC heroes and villains. The draw-right-in-it book comes with everything you need: a sketching pencil, a drawing marker, artist’s pencils in six colors, a big block eraser to fight crimes against the page, stencils, and translucent overlays scattered throughout for can’t-fail tracing activities. Retail $19.99. To learn more please visit http://bit.ly/sLlBeE.

I gave my daughter the Stamp Art kit and my son the DC Universe drawing kit. Each kit has everything you need to get started right away.

My daughter has always loved art, and she does well at art. She started to use the book the way it was intended, but after a while she stopped using the stamps and was free-hand drawing the examples given in the book. My daughter is 14. I think the book is a bit too young for her and her skill level.

She did enjoy testing out the different shapes for the stamp. Was worried she would smuge the ink and get ink all over the place, but thankfully that didn’t happen.

The kit featuers a nice assortment of shapes you can use to create things like dogs, a snail, sea turtle, space ships, jungle animals and more. The kit features the stamps to make the basic shapes, plus colored pencils to fill in the details. Throughout the book you’ll also find background pages you can use to bring your creations to life.

I think this is a cute book/kit. My daughter did too but she used the colored pencils to draw the basic shapes and drew her creations based on the step-by-step instructions. Don’t get me wrong, she did have fun with it. I just think it was too young for her. I’m thinking it would be better for children 6-10?

My son received the Draw the DC Universe Kit. My son is not really into super heros, but his friends are. He was excited to learn how to draw them in hopes of impressing his friends. Sadly he gave up very quickly.

He was OK with the stick figure part. He had a bit of trouble with what the book refers to as “pipes”. It was the details that really bothered him. He had a hard time with the details.

My son tends to be too hard on himself and he totally lacks confidence and self esteem. If things don’t work out for him from the start he tends to get turned off from it quickly. It wasn’t the book/kit more so then a personality “quirk” of his.

I tried to draw the people in the book too. It is sort of hard to add the details, and I was always good at art.

This book/kit is geared more towards ‘tweens and maybe even a young teen.

Here is a video about the Draw the DC Universe book.

Both books are pretty cool, and I think they would make a great holiday gift or activity to keep on hand for the long Winter months.

Young Adult Book Titles for Boys from Scholastic ($50 VISA Gift Card & Books Giveaway)

December 11, 2011 By

I love books. I have always loved books. I think I have an addiction to books. :-) Sadly, I don’t get the chance to read as much as I used to. I used to read a lot but this little thing called “parenthood” sort of changed that. Ha Ha.

My daughter used to love to read. She used to read all the time. Once she received a cell phone with unlimited texting and BBM that was the end of that. Now she only reads when it’s required for school. Sigh…

My son is what you call a “reluctant reader”. He won’t read at all. Even when it’s mandatory for school. He CAN read. He’s tested at a 12th grade reading level. He just has no interest in reading at all. Except for books like Diary of a Wimpy Kid, which is mostly a comic book.

Whenever my kids have shown interest in a book series I would go out and buy every book I could find. For example, when my daughter was in elementary school she really liked the Black Lagoon books. Within days she had every book that was ever made for that series (we still have them too).

My son never really got into any series except Diary of a Wimpy Kid and the 39 Clues books. My husband and daughter enjoy the Wimpy Kid books too (yes, my husband actually reads them). I’ve also tried to buy my son books about the Weather (he’s obsessed with weather) but he never really got into them.

I can’t think of the last time (if ever) that my son voluntarily read a book on his own. That makes me really sad too. I really wish my kids would love books like I do.

I was asked to host a giveaway for some new Scholastic titles, geared more towards young boys. I asked if I could have a set to review, hoping that if my son knew they were geared towards boys his age he might show interest.

I received three titles; The Eleventh Plague, Underdogs and iBoy. Even though they are geared towards boys, teen girls might enjoy them too. Both  my husband and daughter showed interest in The Eleventh Plague book. My daughter currently has it (I’m not sure if she’s started to read it yet).

Here are brief synopsis of each book.

The Eleventh Plague – By Jeff Hirsch

 “The Eleventh Plague hits disturbingly close to home…An excellent, taut debut novel.” – Suzanne Collins, author of The Hunger Games

 In the aftermath of a war, America’s landscape has been ravaged and two thirds of the population left dead from a vicious strain of influenza. Fifteen-year-old Stephen Quinn and his family were among the few that survived and became salvagers, roaming the country in search of material to trade for food and other items essential for survival. But when Stephen’s grandfather dies and his father falls into a coma after an accident, Stephen finds his way to Settler’s Landing, a community that seems too good to be true, where there are real houses, barbecues, a school, and even baseball games. Then Stephen meets strong, defiant, mischievous Jenny, who refuses to accept things as they are. And when they play a prank on the town bully’s family that goes horribly wrong, chaos erupts, and they find themselves in the midst of a battle that will change Settler’s Landing forever.

To learn more about this title please visit http://www.scholastic.com/resources/book?work_id=1317287.

The above is a trailer for the book The Eleventh Plague.

Underdogs – By Markus Zusak

Before The Book Thief, Markus Zusak wrote a trilogy of novels about the Wolfe brothers: The Underdogs, Fighting Ruben Wolfe, and Getting the Girl. Cameron and Ruben Wolfe are champions at getting into fights, coming up with half-baked schemes, and generally disappointing girls, their parents, and their much more motivated older siblings. They’re intensely loyal to each other, brothers at their best and at their very worst. But when Cameron falls head over heels for Ruben’s girlfriend, the strength of their bond is tested to its breaking point.

More about this title can be found here, http://www.scholastic.com/resources/book?work_id=1317292.

iBoy -By Kevin Brooks

Before the attack, Tom Harvey was just an average teen. But a head-on collision with high technology has turned him into an actualized App. Fragments of a shattered iPhone are embedded in his brain. And they’re having an extraordinary effect on his every thought. Because now Tom knows, sees, and can do more than any normal boy ever could. But with his new powers comes a choice: Seek revenge on the vicious gangs who rule the South London housing project where he lives, and who violated his friend Lucy? Or keep quiet and move on? Not even the search engine in his head can predict the shocking outcome of iBoy’s actions. A wifi, thriller by YA master Kevin Brooks.

You can find more information about this title here, http://www.scholastic.com/resources/book?work_id=1317285.

Here is the book’s trailer.

The most amazing thing happened. Something I thought would never happen. My son VOLUNTARILY picked up a book and started to read it. He looked over all three books and the one that stood out the most to him was iBoy. He took the book into his room and started to read. He’s read every day this weekend and is up to page 220! There are only a little over 300+ pages to begin with.

My husband and I are THRILLED that he is reading, and genuinly enjoying this book. In fact I’ve already looked up the author to see what other books he’s written. Thankfully he has many books published. I’m going to see if my son wants to try reading another book by the same author after he’s done reading the other two books.

My reluctant reader is reading! I cannot tell you how happy it makes me to say that. WOW! Thank you Scholastic for this book!

Scholastic has generously offered all three titles for a lucky winner AND a $50.00 VISA gift card (perhaps you can use it to buy more books?). Thank you Scholastic!

Life coach for tips on setting and keeping New Year’s resolutions

December 9, 2011 By

I hate the term “New Year’s resolutions”. I cringe whenever I think about them or hear people talk about them.

I have to admit that at one time or another I have fallen into the “resolution” mentality. I resolved to do a lot of things in the New Year. Losing weight, eating healthy, exercising and getting organized seemed to be on top of my resolution list year after year. Well… I’m still overweight, I don’t eat healthy like I should, exercise – no way! And I’m far from organized (it’s more like “organized chaos”).

Years ago I decided I was no longer going to make New Year’s resolutions. Instead I was going to make an effort to do more positive things in my life. I don’t actually specify exactly what I plan on doing. I don’t tell myself I’m going to lose weight. Instead I will try and make a more conscious decision about what I eat and try and opt for healthier foods. I won’t resolve to be more organized, but rather I will make a conscientious attempt to be organized and more efficient.

I know that many people are stuck on the idea of making resoultions for the New Year. After all, along with family, friends, and festivities, the holiday season is a time for new beginnings and new resolutions.

As you approach a new year, it is important to reflect on what you have accomplished in the past year and where you would like the future to take you.

Terri Savelle Foy, a Life Coach, and author of Make Your Dreams Bigger than Your Memories (Regal, 2010), walks readers step by step to a more rewarding future. Terri travels around the country speaking to audiences on the importance of setting and keeping goals.

According to Terri, 4 out of 5 people who make New Year’s resolutions this month will eventually break them. In fact, 1/3 won’t even make it to the end of January!

In order to achieve your goals, Terri stresses the importance of not repeating the same mistakes as last year. “If you struggled in an area last year, make up your mind that you will defeat this thing and get in the best shape of your life,” said Terri.

Here are some guidelines that Terri suggests to remember as you start thinking about your goals:

-  Goals must be in writing. Goals that are not written down are just wishes.

-  Goals must be measurable. There’s a big difference in saying, “I want to lose weight” and saying “I will lose 10 pounds by March 1.” Your goals must be measured by something; this is what increases your chances of achieving them.

-  Goals must be realistic. If your goals are completely unrealistic, then you’re setting yourself up for defeat. Be practical.

-  Goals must have a deadline. You will be more determined to achieve your goal when you have a deadline. Always assign a deadline to your goals. It’s energizing and motivating.

-  Reward yourself when you reach certain milestones toward your goal. If your goal is to lose 50 pounds, reward your progress and treat yourself when you reach 10 pounds. This will keep you motivated and help keep your momentum going.

-  Put yourself in situations that will be conducive to reaching your goals. Surround yourself with positive people who will help you achieve your goals. If your goal is to save money, don’t go out with friends who are lavish spenders.

Terri Savelle Foy is a gifted speaker and author with a passion to instill value and ignite vision in people all over the world. She is the president and founder of Terri Savelle Foy Ministries and also serves as the executive vice president of Jerry Savelle Ministries International. She is the co-host for the Jerry Savelle Ministries TV broadcast that reaches a worldwide audience. 

Terri communicates life-changing truth with creativity, humor, and transparency. Through personal experience and proven results, Terri teaches people how to be free from issues rooted in fear such as rejection, insecurity, passivity, low self-esteem, shame and guilt. She reveals practical tips to help people develop vision, confidence and discipline that will lead them into God’s perfect plan for their lives. 

Terri’s best-selling books include Make Your Dreams Bigger Than Your Memories and You’re Valuable to God.

For more information about Terri, go to www.Terri.com.

Are you planning on making any New Year’s resolutions this year? If so I would love to hear from you. Or are you like me and have given up on resolutions, but hope to make better life choices in the New Year?

Do you have any additional tips to sticking with your resolutions?

Feel free to comment.

Elf OFF the Shelf – A fun holiday parody

December 7, 2011 By

 

In the tradition of holiday parodies like “Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer” and “The 12 Pains of Christmas“, comes a holiday book sure to make laugh out loud. It’s called Elf Off the Shelf.

I grew up with the little plastic and felt elves around my home. My sister had one as did I. Sadly my elf was eaten by our dog. My mom had to go out and get me another elf because I was so upset. She couldn’t find any of the traditional green felt elves so she picked me up a smaller elf that wore a gold outfit and a gold hat. I STILL have the gold elf. In fact he’s sitting right next to my computer as I type this.

When my kids were younger I purchased a few small elves that I place randomly around our home. Every other day or so I would move the elves around to make it look like they really were alive and keeping watch on the the kids.

If you are not familiar with the Elf on a Shelf tradition it’s easy enough to understand. Basically you have an elf that sits on a shelf (or where ever you want to put him) and he keeps an eye on the kids in your family and reports his findings back to Santa. That way Santa knows if you’ve been naughty or nice. It worked for my kids for several years (thankfully). Try truly believed the little elves were real. I wish they still did today.

There is an Elf on the Shelf book and Elf set you can purchase. I’ve seen them in a few stores, most recently Target.

Now there is a new book about the infamous elf, except this book puts the elf in a whole new light.

Elf Off the Shelf is a funny parody about the iconic elf. This sweet little elf has high hopes about being a part of the family who purchased him. That is until they committed the ultimate crime against a shelf elf – they named him Horace. He was hoping for a cool name but instead he got Horace. From that point on Horace became disenchanted with his role as a shelf elf. Especially because his family let him become a cat toy and sit behind the toilet all day.

The book follows Horace’s adventures at night in his family’s house, including “wooing” Barbie (which failed miserably). :-)

I was laughing throughout the book. It’s a quick and easy read (I read it in about 5 minutes). My husband read it right after I did and thought it was pretty funny too.

This is NOT a children’s book. This book is strictly for adults (and perhaps teens). It’s not a “R” rated book. There is no foul language in it except for the world cr*p which is mentioned once. It’s just the whole idea of a disgruntled elf that would not be “kid-friendly”.

Elf Off the Shelf is a funny book that you must read if you have the chance.

To learn more about the book please visit www.ElfOfftheShelf.com. You can also follow Horace the Elf on Twitter (www.Twitter.com/ElfofftheShelf @ElfofftheShelf) and on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Elf-OFF-the-Shelf/117406048347115?sk=wall).

Elf Off the Shelf  is available at many retail locations including Amazon and Barnes & Noble. This would also make a great gift and would be a fun addition to anyone’s holiday book collection.

Check out the video make especially for the book.

Young Me, Now Me

December 1, 2011 By

Photographs play a very special part in everyone’s lives. They have the ability to freeze moments in time.

Photos are a big part of my family’s lives. We have about 20 photo albums filled with pictures before my husband and I got married up until we purchased our first digital camera and actual paper photographs became obsolete. To be honest with you I enjoy having a tangible photo I can hold in my hand or place in a book. Don’t get me wrong, I do appreciate the convenience and affordability of taking digital photos, but often those photos end up on discs and hard drives never to seen again. Twenty years from now are your children or grandchildren ever going to see those photos?

As a parent I’ve always wanted to document those special moments in the lives of my family and my children. Often I try and take photos of the kids in the same location every few years just so I can see how much they have grown and changed over time. When the kids used to sit for Christmas pictures I used to take them to Sears every year for their holiday photo. All of those photos are proudly displayed on our living room wall.

Here are two examples of photos I have taken of the kids over the years in the same location. They are not posted the same exact way but at least teh location is the same.

 

As you can see in the above photos my kids don’t always cooperate, especially my daughter doing her “super model” pose in the center photo (above).

I really wish I had the dates of all these photos. I can only “guesstimate” their ages.

Many years ago when my son was a toddler I captured a picture of him and my husband holding hands by the side of a small creek at a local park. A few years later we were at the same park and re-created the photo to the best of our memory.

For years now we have talked about going back to the park and taking another photo. Our son is 12 now and about 5′ tall (my husband is 5’10″). He hasn’t grown as tall as my husband yet but it would be fun to see them side by side like they are in these photos.

When you think about cherished family photos, wouldn’t it be fun to re-create them as you are today, just to see how much you’ve changed over the years?

A new book by Ze Frank, called Young Me, Now Me,  does exactly that. Within the pages of the book are photos that were submitted by fans of the popular website, http://www.ZeFrank.com/YoungMeNowMe. Fans found treasured photos of themselves and tried to re-create the same photo showing how they look now. Everything from their facial expressions to the placement of their hands, even props and in some cases outfits are almost identical to the original photo.

Here are a few pages from the actual book to give you an idea of what I am talking about.

Photobucket

Photobucket

Each set of photos also comes with a brief story that explains the situation behind the original photo and what it took to recreate the “me now” photo. Sometimes it took people traveling from around the world just to recapture that moment in time again.

Young Me, Now Me is a small book (small in size) and a quick read. I read the book from cover to cover in about an hour, as did my husband.

I was fun having a glimpse inside the lives of others. Some photos were very nostalgic and brought back memories of my own. A few photos didn’t span much time (one photo was taken one year later), where as others were taken decades from the time of the original photo.

I love how some people went so far as to dress up the same exact way they did in the original photo. You can tell that some people went all out to try and recreate the photo trough every detail, right down to the chagrin on their face.

This is a sweet and charming book to read. If anything it will inspire you to go through your old photo albums or the shoeboxes filled with photos that you have and pick out a few of your favorite photos and try and re-create them. Or maybe you might want to consider starting a new tradition and photographing your child or children in the same place every few years to document how much they have grown and matured over the years. It would be fun if your kids could do that even as older adults.

Young Me, Now Me is available for purchase at most book retailer locations including Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

This would make a sweet gift for the holiday season, especially for someone who loves a bit of nostalgia.

Don’t forget to check out http://www.ZeFrank.com/YoungMeNowMe for more wonderful photos.
