Starting Them Young

RL and I have revived book reading time at night. I don't know what happened, but I got too busy the past year - so much so that it seems I hardly get to catch him awake on a school night. Well, anyway, that definitely had to change. So as a resolution, we promised each other we'd make time for books. That also means, Momma has to come home early from work!

My little book reader.

Anyway, I have resolved to read him at least 3 books a night. Two weeks ago, we decided we were going to include the Bible. Permanently. That means, he can get at least two other books, but the Bible stays in the book list every night.

When my siblings and I were kids, we were encouraged to read the Bible everyday. We would sit together as a family, and my dad would conduct family devotions. I would want to emulate that. And although we haven't had the chance to have devotions together regularly, I am happy to say we've made leaps with RL's Bible and book reading. You can see how he has changed especially with his prayers. 

Yesterday, while ironing out 2014 plans for my blog, my friends and I thought it would be cool to launch a year's worth of giveaways. Yes, you read that right! A giveaway every week until the end of the year. The catch is, the giveaways won't be announced. They come discreetly within a post (like this one), so I am sure only my regular readers get to join the giveaways! But then of course, if your friends join because you shared the post, that would be great, too. Hehe.

So anyway, to start off this year of generosity, here's that first - oh wait, second giveaway for 2014!

WIN THIS! A book of godly virtues to include in your kid's book list!



That's it! Just follow the steps on Rafflecopter and you're in! I shall draw and announce the winner next week! This giveaway starts at midnight tonight and will run until 11:59pm, Sunday, February 9. I will ship the prize to the winner, so make sure you use a valid email address when logging into Rafflecopter.

Note: THIS GIVEAWAY IS OPEN TO ANYONE WITH A PHILIPPINE ADDRESS. THE PRIZE WILL BE SHIPPED LOCALLY. NO INTERNATIONAL ADDRESSES PLEASE.


| Prize sponsor: My brother KM. Hehe. He gave us two of these - one for RL and one to giveaway. How sweet!

    I want to win this book for my almost 2-year old, Yuri, who is beginning to love books as much as I do. This will be a great addition to his growing library!

    I want to win this book for my 2 year old son because he loves books and I know that he will enjoy this one, too. My husband and I have been instilling in him good virtues so this book would definitely be a big help. I am sure that Trev, our son, will learn so much in this book.

    I want to win this book because I will read it for my niece, Zhoey Kristeff. She has a Down Syndrome, but nevertheless, she is so smart and gets to understand things easily. We are so much proud of her and her milestones. She also loves readinga book for her. She always listens, and end up looking at the picturesmof the book, herself. So cute and lovable baby.
