Precious Moments is having an awesome sale for Valentine's Day! Get 20% off select Valentine's Day gifts & figurines with code BEMYVALENTINE! Offer is valid 2/9 - 2/12.

I received one figurine called the "I Love You To The Moon And Back" Figurine. Made of hand painted bisque porcelain, the "I Love You To The Moon And Back" Figurine shows a young couple sitting together with hands intertwined on a crescent moon in the clouds. They are accompanied by two sparkling stars that twinkle in the night. This romantic piece celebrates the eternal bond of true love. It is 6.75 inches high and can be personalized with with a loved one's name or initials. This is the perfect gift to give for Valentine's Day, Sweetest Day, an Anniversary, or other romantic occasion.


I love the details and name of this figurine! The stars really glitter and the moon shines with a pretty scrolling pattern on the front. The back of this figurine is even three-dimensional and painted as well so you can display it in the middle of a table. It will look great from all angles. The saying "I Love You To The Moon And Back" is very dear to me. I have read the book Guess How Much I Love You by Sam McBratney over and over to my children where we hear these words as well. I love this tribute to this phrase and its meaningful words. This figurine speaks to my heart.

Merry Christmas, Splat ...and More Winter Stories: Scholastic Storybook Treasures DVD Review

I received this DVD for free to facilitate this review.

I love Scholastic Storybook Treasures! They take story books and bring them to life through animation. You can collect them all and even read along with the story on screen if you choose to.

Merry Christmas, Splat ...and More Winter Stories is a wonderful collection of 4 snowy stories that will be sure to warm your heart.


MERRY CHRISTMAS, SPLAT (Written and illustrated by Rob Scotton, narrated by John Keating) This is an adorable story of a cat named Splat who tries a little too hard to be good before Santa’s arrival so he can get what he wishes for most on Christmas day. Anyone who has ever been a child waiting for Christmas morning knows how much the excitement and anticipation sometimes get the best of us. This is a great story that is purrfect for all ages.

FLETCHER AND THE SNOWFLAKE CHRISTMAS (By Julia Rawlinson, illustrated by Tiphanie Beeke, narrated by Katherine Kellgren) It’s Christmas Eve and Fletcher the fox wonders how Santa will find the rabbits' new burrow because they have moved. His big heart will touch yours. I love the beautiful illustrations and gorgeous layout of words that this has.

SNOWFLAKE BENTLEY (By Jacqueline Briggs Martin, illustrated by Mary Azarian, narrated by Sean Astin) This is the story of Willie Bentley, who was a pioneering scientist who loved and learned all about snowflakes. I loved learning about this inquisitive boy who loved everything about the snow and wanted the world to see how beautiful snowflakes were. He was the first to capture snowflakes as photographs. This story makes you realize how big the world is in retrospect and how you need to slow down and take a closer look at it.

OWL MOON (Written and narrated by Jane Yolen, illustrated by John Schoenherr) This story is a wonderful story about a girl and her father as they search the moonlit woods for a Great Horned Owl. This being the girls first trip she is excited to say the least, but she remembers her fathers words that she should not make a sound while owling. This is a sweet bond of father and daughter relationships and a nature walk in the snowy night that will not soon be forgotten.

Bonus Features Behind-the-Scenes Look at Creating the Animation for Fletcher and the Snowflake Christmas; Read-Along. This DVD is Approx. 36 minutes + extras. Recommended for ages 3-7.
