It is hard to believe that Thanksgiving is almost here. I was in the middle of making my shopping list when I realized that there would be close to 10 kids at my Thanksgiving Day celebration. While I know that I would need something to keep them entertained, I also know I will need to help in the kitchen. So I decided to pause from my list making and put together 5 easy Thanksgiving Activities for Kids. I named the 5 easy Thanksgiving Day activities for kids Rolling Through Thanksgiving with Kids because three of the activities include dice. So what are the 5 easy Thanksgiving Day activities for kids? They include

Hello Supporters, I have a confession to make, I really dislike the book, Alexander Very Bad Horrible Day by Judith Viorst. I know this book is a classic; has won a bunch of awards, and has a billion positive reviews but I really don’t like the negativity. In fact, when I have used Alexander Very Bad Horrible Day in therapy my patients are usually more negative and unmotivated to change their lives. So imagine my excitement when I found a useful alternative to Alexander Very Bad Horrible Day: It's A Super-Bad Terrible Day! by Virginia Finnie. In It’s A Super Bad Terrible Day!, author Virginia Finnie shows children and adults that even if a day is not going well, there are things you can do in order to cope. For example, in Alexander Very Bad Horrible Day, and in It’s A Super-Bad Terrible Day! the main character wakes up to a problem (tripping on a skateboard, and stepping on Legos). In Alexander’s book, the main character goes on to say “I know it is going to be a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day” and encounters more problems. However, in It’s A Super-Bad Terrible Day!, the main character realizes a bad start to the day doesn’t mean the entire day is terrible. So he picks up his Legos and moves on with his day. The other thing I love about Virginia’s book is that it ends in hope. The closing sentence of her book is “You can do it. You’re pretty tough. So hang in there when the going gets rough.” This is a message that everyone needs to hear. As you probably know, Alexander’s book ends with a statement “It has been a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. My mom says some days are like that.” So supporters, if you have Alexander Very Bad Horrible Day; I strongly suggest you replace it with It's A Super-Bad Terrible Day! by Virginia Finnie. Well that is all of now supporters. Please continue to pray for me and know I am praying for you. Corine P.S. To learn more about Virgina Finnie please visit her website http://www.heywarriorkids.com/
While I purchased a copy of It’s A Super-Bad Terrible Day! to review, Virginia Finnie is sponsoring this giveaway by providing one reader with a copy of It’s A Super-Bad Terrible Day! This giveaway will end October 3, 2016 at 12:00 AM EST. The winner will have 48 hours to respond to my email. If no response, a new winner will be chosen. Open to residents of the US/CAN.

Hey Supporters,
The thing I like about this series is that it is designed to teach young girls about inner beauty using prominent Bible characters and real life problems. This book is excellent at modeling how the Bible can be applied to our lives today. However, I have a few concerns with this book. I found this book to be a little long and it blurred the lines between fact and fiction. The way the angels were depicted in this book reminds me of fairies. While I realize little girls love fairies, I don’t the Bible describes angles as fairy like creatures. The book also described Esther as having a “superpower.†The story then goes on to have the angel give the main character of the story a bell to symbolize the main character receiving the “superpower†of patience.
Given these concerns, I recommend this book being used to help children discern truth from fiction. One game I like to play with the little people in my life is can you spot the almost truth. Basically, as I read story I sometimes add “almost truths†to the story. It is the child’s job to spot the almost truth. This little game keeps children engage when you are reading a story to a group.
Well that is all for now, please continue to pray for me and know I am praying for you.

Hey Supporters,
I received so bad news from Amazon this week. They contacted me to let me know that my Christian Adult Coloring Book: Seeking His Peace will no longer be available in their Kindle store. Apparently they have changed their policy since I published the book and no longer allow coloring books. In stead they suggested I publish the book as a physical book.
while I was initially disappointed with this news, I decided to offer Seeking His Peace free until I publish it as a physical book.
About the book: Everyone goes through some hard times in life. Seeking His Peace Coloring Book was created for those times in life when you need to focus on God’s promise to give you peace. Seeking His Peace Coloring Book contains 40 (20 with Bible verses and 20 with a blank space which allows you to add a Bible verse or your own thoughts) unique picture pattern coloring pages that are designed to help you relax while reflecting on God’s promises to give you peace.
Unlike many adult coloring books that encourage you to empty Your mind, Seeking His Peace provides you with scripture after scripture to fill you a peace that comes only from seeking God.
Well that is all for now; please continue to pray for me as I pray for you,

Hey Supporters,
Sorry it has been so long since I last posted. However, I have been hard at work finishing up my next picture book. An idea came to me that I am super excited about.
One of the things children love about my books is seeing all the different names of the characters. So I decided to allow you and/or your child to take part in naming the characters in my next book. There are 11 characters. I have already picked out 2 character names. That leaves 9 characters that need a name.
Entering a name is super easy, just fill out the form below. If you want to name multiple characters, just fill out the form multiple times.
Until next time, please continue to pray for me and know I am praying for you,

Hey Supporters,
Don’t know how many of you have noticed but I am continuing to explore other ways to “share Jesus one book at a time.” Since starting my publishing journey I have published picture books, coloring books and journals. As we enter Holy Week, I decided to create a unique journal/coloring book that I am praying will draw you closer to the Cross. Each sheet was created using an image of a cross that I transformed into a mandala type coloring sheet. After looking at how I was able to take a simple image of a cross and transfer them into several beautiful mandala designs, I decided to pair each mandala with a Bible verse that reminds me of the transforming power of the cross.
So please join me this Easter season (or anytime) in reflecting on the transferring power of the cross. There are a total of seven journal sheets which makes them perfect for Holy Week or any time of year. Truthfully, I am planning on using this journal the week after Easter.

Hey Supporters,
As you know, I believe that every parent should homeschool their children. Whether you homeschool exculsively or homeschool as a supliment to public edcuation. One question I often get asked is "how do I homeschool for subject that are difficult for me?" Usually when people ask me this question, they are referring to science, techology, enginnering or math.
There answer to this question is to purchase a curriculum. One of the best science curriculum for homeschoolers is the Magic School Bus. Now you can order a Magic School Bus Kit no matter where you live in the world.
Read below to find out How You Can Get the Best Science Curriculum for Homeschoolers
Are you looking to add fun, scientific projects to your curriculum? Look no further than your favorite crew of curious adventurers - The Magic School Bus. Magic School Bus Science Club is a monthly subscription service that delivers science experiments for your kids to enjoy. Also, I just heard some VERY exciting news. For the first time ever, Educents is offering to ship these science kits to kids WORLDWIDE!!
Who's it for?
A subscription to the Magic School Bus Science Club is a great way to offer children a hands-on science lesson. The experiments included are perfect for children ages 5 to 10, but really, any science-oriented kids will get a blast out of the kit.
What's included?
- A large, detailed 12-page manual explaining the topics and each experiment
- Each manual is based on the popular Magic School Bus books and TV series
- If you're an adult with little to NO science background, the kits come with easy instructions for you to follow
- Materials and information necessary for a range of interactive experiments
- Online Clubhouse resource is available to your and your child to get further explanation on each kit topic
- Certificate of Completion -- a special congrats
What are people saying about the Magic School Bus Science Club?
Parents and teachers are constantly talking about the Magic School Bus Science Club. Jamerrill from Free Homeschool Deals shared a blog post of her kids have a blast with the science kits. Jamerrill says she could "open up a science kit, turn to a lesson page, and jump right into that hand-ons activity. It helps me feel like a 'fun mom' because we’re doing a science activity, and I didn’t have the stress or mess of pulling it all together."
Kids will get so excited when each kit arrives to their door each month. I found this awesome video review by Eric Poor showing off a couple of human body experiments from the Magic School Bus subscription. Look at his face light up with a HUGE smile each time he does an experiment!!
Here's some more feedback about the Science Kits from Educents shoppers:
- "I was not expecting it to be this good." - Amber W.
- " I was really impressed by the hands-on approach of learning, and then having it explained so that a child would understand it. I would highly recommend this!" - Kelly L.

The kits are finally available to learners around the world - Australia, Asia, Europe - you name the place and Ms. Frizzle will be there with a science adventure for your child.
Greetings Supporters,
As you know supporters, my goal is to share Jesus one book at a time. I do this by not only writing books but also helping you find great Christian books. Today I want to share with you just such a book: Jesus Today Devotions for Kids.
Jesus Today Devotions for Kids is the new book by Sarah Young and Tama Fortner. This book is about Jesus and His amazing love for you. Jesus Today Devotions for Kids contains 150 devotions that are perfect for children about seven to ten years old. Each devotion is set up in a two page spread. The first page is the actual devotion and the next paged includes several Bible verses for children to think upon. The devotionals are based on the Bible and are written as if Jesus is speaking directly to the reader. Some of the devotions that are covered in this book include trusting God, the power of prayer, God is always with us, peace, second chances, God love never ends, self-control. I like the fact that the devotions are not dated, which means you can start this devotion at any time. (Note, there is an attached ribbon that you can use as a bookmark to keep track of your page).
I noticed two other things about this book. 1) There are not pictures. This may be a little hard for younger children (i.e., children under the age of eight). However, since each devotion is only a page long, this book may also be the “perfect” transition to more “adult” devotions and Bibles. 2) There is an index of scripture in the back of the book which means this book can also be used as a references book.
Well that is all for now, please continue to pray for me and know I am praying for you.

Hey Supporters,
Do I have a treat for you? As you know, I love find great children books, especially books written from a Christian perspective. Therefore, when I was offered the chance to read Angels in the Bible Storybook I happily said “yes,” even though I already reviewing a book about angels (See my review of God Gave Us Angles).
Angels in the Bible Storybook had me hooked from the first story. Angels in the Bible Storybook opens with the story of creation. I was initially surprised to even see the story of creation in a book about angels in the Bible. As a Christian for over a decade or two, I have read and taught others the creation story. Due to my vast experience with the creation story, I was sure the Bible did not include them. To my surprise and delight, the author revealed angels were a part of the creation story and even backed it up with Scripture. Angels in the Bible Storybook is a wonderful book that I highly recommend.
In addition, to learning where were the angels when God created the world, readers of Angels in the Bible Storybook will learn:
Why did an angel force a donkey off a road?
Who did the angels get out of jail twice?
And other fascinating information about angels.
Be sure to pick up a copy of Angels in the Bible Storybook from Amazon or wherever Christian books are sold.
Well until next time, please continue to pray for me and know I am praying for you,

The Plans I Have for You was written by Amy Parker and Illustrated by Vansessa Brantley-Newton. This book was written based on Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” In her interpretation of this verse, Ms. Parker focuses mainly on different careers that a child/person may have (i.e., a nurse, zoo keeper, entomologist, etc). There are interesting details in this book, such as an assembly line with a sign that reads “Incoming YOUR Orders: Nurse, Zookeeper, Entomologist.” The theme of God giving every child/person a purpose is continued throughout the book.
I know Jeremiah 29:11 is a verse that give many adults comfort. . . I often recommend this verse when my clients are doubting their purpose in life. As a result, I would ordinarily recommend that every Christian household run and grab a copy of this book. However, this book does not deliver of the promise of conveying to children that God has a purpose for their life. This book is written in first person, as if God is writing it. However, the word God is never used. (Note; Jeremiah 29:11 is quoted in its entirety, which includes the word Lord in the inside book cover). So the child is never told, who has plans for them. If a parent is reading this book to their child, the way the book is written, the child could assume that their parent has great plans for them. There is even a picture of the Bible in this book; however, the book does not have the word Bible or a cross on it to actually convey it is a Bible.
I am still search for a book that conveys to children that God has a purpose for their life. When I find one, I will write a review of it. Until then, I highly recommend Glorious Praise as an alternative to The Plans I Have for You. Glorious Praise also focuses on different careers that a child/person may have. It is based on 1 Corinthians 10:31 and you can read my complete review of Glorious Praise here: http://www.tccpublishing.com/blog/review-of-glorious-praise
Well until next time, please continue to pray for me and know I am praying for you,

Disclaimer: I received this book from BookLook Bloggers for free in exchange for an honest review; all thoughts and opinions herein are that of my own.
Greeting Supporters,
As you know I have been reading and studying what the Bible says about love in order to complete my sixth Bible based story book (What is Love: An Activity, Picture and Coloring Book). Then I met with a client who needed to be reminded of God’s love for her. Late Tuesday night, I decided to make her of personalized Bible verse cards for her.
As I was making the personalized Bible verse cards, I kept singing a little song to myself, "Good, better, best. Never let it rest. Until your good is better and your better is best." In order to make the gift the best I could, I decided to incorporate the benefits of coloring into each card by designing a border that can be colored.

In order to make the gift the best I could, I decided to incorporate the benefits of coloring into each card by designing a border that can be colored.
6 Personalized Bible Verses to remind you of God's great love for you.
- Nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate NAME from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. - Romans. 8:39
- How great is the love the Father has lavished on NAME, that NAME should be called a child of God! I John 3:1
- The Lord your God is with you, NAME, the Mighty Warrior who saves. He will take great delight in NAME; in His love He will no long rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing. Zephaniah 3:17
- I have loved NAME with an everlasting love; therefore, I have continued my faithfulness to NAME. Jeremiah 31:3
- For God gave NAME a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control. II Timothy 1:7
- Through each day the LORD pours His unfailing love upon NAME, and through each night, NAME, sing His songs, praying to God who gives you life. Psalm 42:8
In order to personalize the above verses, simply copy and paste the verses into a document and do a “Find and Replace” for the word “NAME.” Once done, open the blank Love Bible Verse Cards (Card one; Card two) in a photo editing software and add the verses. Print and you are done.
If that is too much work, print the generic cards here: Generic Love Card. Each verse uses "me" or "you" instead of a personalized name. Or you can also fill out this form and I will do the find replace for you. Please note, due to my schedule it may take me a few days.
Please enjoy and share this printable with your family, friends and associates. If you have a moment, I would love it if you send pictures of how you decided to use this printable. You can just submit them through the contact page or send via any of my social media channels.
Well that is all for now supporters,
Please continue to pray for me and know I am praying for you,
Corine
P.S. The cards can be printed on cardstock and sent through the mails as post cards to reminder others that God love them.
P.S.S. The above printables have two blank cards for you to add your other Bible verses. What is your favorite Bible verse that reminds you of God’s great love for you? I would love it if you would share it with me in the comments below.

While I think this cover is okay (i realize I still needed work on the fonts and parts of it was blurry, I was planning to fix all of that); it was just okay. In the publishing world, a cover is worth more than a $1000 (truthfully, I cannot saw the cover I was designing is worth a $1000). As I was praying and seeking feedback regarding the cover, God blessed me to win book cover designed by a professional: Dominique Wilkins.

Emily of Smith Squad recommends the Life of Fred books.
“As a child, I always hated math, even though I was good at it because it was soon boring. When I heard about Fred, I knew he had to be a part of our homeschool. My kids absolutely LOVE when it’s math time, and they are learning a ton about how to apply math to every day practical situations.”
Allison of Just Add Coffee loves the Magic School Bus Science Experiments.
“I absolutely love Magic School bus and all it has to offer. Each month you get a different science kit to take a Magic School Bus adventure. If you search really hard, online you can even find curriculum to go with each science kit and the episode from the television series.”
Lisa of Chickens and Bunnies Homeschool loves the Life of Fred Elementary Books.
“My favorite resource at Educents at the moment is Life of Fred. There are so many to choose from I picked the Elementary Series. My kids love these books; we have them up to high school now. My most recent order was Life of Fred Chemistry. My kids will do these without arguing and love Fred and Kingie!”
Celena of The Traveling Sisterhood recommends the Times Tales Multiplication videos.
"I love Times Tales because it's made this year's math lessons so much easier! My kiddos quickly mastered their multiplication tables in one sitting with the movie. It's been such a blessing--instead of drills everyday, we can take more time to learn the actual concepts behind the facts!"
Kelly of Raising Samuels loves the Magic School Bus Science Club.
“The Magic School Bus Science Club is something your child gets in the mail each month, for a year! It includes numerous experiments per month, along with most of the materials required. (except household items such as scissors and tape). It is an incredible hands-on learning experience that helps children love science and have fun! My sons who are 4 and 6 absolutely love it!”
Amy of Busy Boys Brigade recommends the Life of Fred Beginning Readers.
“Life of Fred Early Readers series has been a game changer in our homeschool! Both my 6 & 4-year-old boys beg me to do their reading lessons now that we have added Life of Fred. I have noticed an increase in their fluency and comprehension."
Jenn of Chaotic Bliss Homeschooling also loves Times Tales.
"All three of my girls, ages 8 down to 4 loved watching this DVD and learning the stories. In 1 hour, both of my older girls had memorized their upper times tables! And the real kicker is I was only trying to teach one!"
Amy of Teaching in Blue Jeans uses Learn to Mod Minecraft with her son.
"Learn to Mod Minecraft is an amazing program that teaches my son, a Minecraft lover, important computer programming skills through a game he loves to play. The lessons are easy to use, fun and engaging. I love that he is a learning a skill that I am not able to teach him."
Tabitha of Life Learning Homeschool uses the King Tut Mini Unit.
“My son loves history (he gets it from me), and I love to throw in “extras” to feed the need for more than what our curriculum calls for. Mini-units are great for that, and this was one of our favorites because we both love Ancient Egypt!”
Amy from Not Your Average Homeschool Mom loves Minecraft Mod Design.
“I love that you can be totally creative, and these are all hands-on. Helps to build critical thinking skills.” 
Kayla of The Arrowood Zoo loves using Magformers for lessons at home.
"I love that you can be totally creative and these are all hands-on. Helps to build critical thinking skills too." 
Shelly of Free Homeschooling 101 recommends the Violin Starter Set.
"The violin starter set includes everything a budding violinist needs to begin their studies. The instrument is well made and economical. The lessons that are included are a huge money saver!" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=miJXCpi20DU
Rebecca of Hip Homeschooling likes Magformers.
“We LOVE Magformers in our homeschool! They are a high-quality toy that provide hours of creative play. They are a great way to bring the fun back into your homeschool; your kids won’t even realize they are learning all about structures and geometric shapes and architecture (bonus!).”
Teri of Mommy Wife Life recommends the Spectacular Space Unit Study.
“A great resource for young astronomers is the Spectacular Space Unit Study. From writing, reading, math, and crafts, this complete unit, with its simple terms, will spark the interest of even your preschoolers!”
Jamie of Simple Homeschool loves Life of Fred too!
“I love the way the math is naturally integrated into Fred’s life, showing the importance of it in day-to-day life. The chapters are laugh-out-loud funny, and I often get asked to read “just one more.” I’ve never been a huge fan of math workbooks and worksheets, so the combination of math and story is a major win in my books!”
Gabriella, Homeschooling Consultant, recommends the Number Formation Poems.
“We have these cards laminated because we know they’ll be used for years to come. My son, who learns best through rhyme and tactile input, is learning to write digits using these easy-to-remember number formation poems! I have reduced the size of the cards, added a ring binder, and now have a portable number set. We also use the cards for matching games and learning about quantity. Such a great price for all of the value provided by this set.”

Hello everyone,
Thanks for stopping my blog for the Christian Authors Blog Hop and Giveaway. For those of you who are new here, I just want to tell you a little about myself. I currently live in the great state of Maryland where I work full-time as a clinical psychologist. However, my passion is writing Christian Children Books. My first book: Why We Give Gifts at Christmas Time is perfect for this time of the year. I also have several other titles including Jaden Goes to Foster Care; My Journey with Jesus Christ; Teaching Christ’s Children About Anger; What is Love; and Why I Give.
How long have you been writing for the Christian market? I started writing for the Christian market over ten years ago but did not publish my first book until 2012. Over the years I have learned a lot about the book publishing process. In fact, I am thinking about helping others publish in 2016. If you want to know more about publishing children's books or have a specific question for me please email me using the contact tab.
Name one challenge facing Christian writers today. I actually think there are two big problems facing Christian writers today. 1) companies that prey on Christian writers by hiding behind the "Christian title." 2) the massive closing of Christian book stores. While I love Amazon, I also recognize that many local/independent books stores cannot compete with Amazon. As a result, in the last few years there has been a massive amount of Christian book stores that closed. With each closing, Christian writers lose another opportunity to network and spread the word about their books.
What is one thing you would like readers to know about you or your writing? What a lot of readers do not realize is that there are a lot of FREE lessons extras to go along with each of my books. The lesson extras include coloring and handwriting pages, as well as activity sheets. My extras are currently free (for a limited time) and can be founded in the member section of this website.
Before you leave my blog, be sure to enter to win a copy of my first book Why We Give Gifts at Christmas Time.
