Mitten Strings For God.... a giveaway


Mitten Strings For God, by Katrina Kenison.
This is by far one of my favorite books in the WORLD. I read it a few years ago, from our library, because it was mentioned in a talk at BYU, and I really liked the talk. So, i borrowed it from the library and fell in love. This past month we have been working on our family, family unity, responsibilities and family happiness. I decided that it was perfect timing to actually buy the book and reread it. I am so glad I did. This is a book that every momma should own. That is why Im giving away a copy of it to a lucky reader!!!
Here is an idea of what the book is about, Im going to put the names of the chapter titles, and it will give you a good idea about it. Seriously it is one of the best books I have ever read!!

Mega Families


I'll admit it. Im obsessed. I am a fan of Jon and Kate plus Eight, I adore the Duggar family and this whole octomom thing is exciting! When Keith and I first got married we had decided we wanted about 5 kids. That grew as I became pregnant with Dylan. I wanted at least 8!!!! We were blessed with 3 beautiful children. More is not in the cards for us because of my health, I hemmorrghed after both girls, very severly with Sydney, so we had to make that choice. I needed to be alive for the 3 kids we were blessed with. My heart hurts about the decision. So I live precariously through the "mega families". I love the websites, the shows, the books, the thought of it all! Growing up Keith and I were both friends with a family who had 21 children all their biological children- no twins. They are an amazing family that we still love very much today. Keiths family was particularly close to them, and he fondly remembers sneaking into their van after church, trying to "stowaway" thinking they wouldnt even notice an extra kid!!! This is my whole point to this post. I received the new Duggar family book in the mail and already I cant put it down! The recipes, the schedules, the ideas!!! I love it!!!! Of course I cant keep up with three kids and a house, I dont know how they do it, and I am looking forward to seeing if she ever gets a nap!!!! Anyway, give your kids a hug today, and be thankful for them. God blesses us so much through them. Im so thankful for my three. Maybe up in heaven there are a bunch waiting for me!
