Green Toys Sand Play Set Review

Posted in Reviews

Green Toys Inc. makes an awesome line of classic children’s toys constructed from recycled plastic and other environmentally friendly materials. This helps reduce fossil fuel use and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improving the overall health and happiness of the planet. We were thrilled to get the opportunity to review the Green Toy Sand Play Set.  As soon as the package arrived, Munchkin grabbed the pail, rake, shovel, and mold and headed outside to test it out.  She was impressed with how sturdy the entire set was while playing.  She loves the idea that her toy is made out of 100%…

Sixteen Cities Music Review

Posted in Christian Life, and Reviews

Around here, we are always looking for good Christian music as we listen to a lot of music.  We recently received the self-titled debut album from a band called Sixteen Cities.  Since they’re fairly new on the music scene, we were curious to hear their sound.  As we do with all cds, we quickly converted the songs to mp3, so we could listen to the songs on the go.

Living Water

Posted in Christian Life

There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink. (For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.) Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.
