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.

Mandisa Out Of The Dark Album Review & Giveaway #OutOfTheDark #FlyBy

I received this CD free to facilitate this review. Affiliate links may be in this posting. Thanks for supporting my blog.

Mandisa is an American gospel and contemporary Christian recording artist. Her musical career started on the fifth season of American Idol, in which she was a contestant and finished in ninth place. She also won a Grammy Award for her fifth album, Overcomer, in the Best Contemporary Christian Music Album category.

Overcomer was written for her close friend Kisha in 2013. Kisha was battling breast cancer and Mandisa wanted to help lift her spirits.  The Out Of The Dark album was created after Mandisa fell into a deep depression for almost 3 years after Kisha passed away in 2014. This album starts out differently than most. It plays recorded messages that her friends and family left Mandisa on her voicemail while she shut out the world. After the messages it plays the music Mandisa wrote that tell her story about how God lifted her up "Out Of The Dark" with the help of her friends and family.

My Thoughts:

This album is uplifting and wonderful. Mandisa shows us her lovely soul and shares a very personal story with everyone who listens to this CD. I loved how open she was. There are so many that will relate to her. Depression is an extremely real thing and it is wonderful to know that we are loved not only by our friends and family, but by God too. Mandisa wanted to make sure her fans knew what happened and that depression can be conquered with faith and love. "Thankfully, it only takes a flicker of light to dispel the darkness. God worked through my family and friends as the literal hands and feet of Jesus.", Mandisa said. My favorite song is "What You're Worth" sung with Britt Nicole. I am so glad Mandisa made this album for all of us to hearken to.

I highly recommend this beautiful, moving and emotional album! It will lift you up if you are struggling with loss, despair, feeling isolated or alone, or depressed. It will help you feel closer to God and know that He is always there for you in your time of need.

#LIGHTtheWORLD In 25 Ways Over 25 Days Advent Calendar

“During Christmas, we are reminded that Jesus Christ is the light of the world. This year, we have an amazing opportunity to share that light by resolving to do the things Jesus Christ did. Every day leading up to Christmas, we will focus on a different Christ-like behavior and provide suggestions for ways we can emulate His example....” mormon.org

The Church of JESUS CHRIST of Latter Day Saints has provided each of us a way to #LIGHTtheWORLD from December 1st through Christmas Day. The Worldwide Day of Service is on December 1st and kicks off this Advent Calendar. For the Worldwide Day of Service people were given the opportunity to "serve anyone you want, any way you want" and "find a way to serve others as Jesus did". Just like this Christ-like day, each day following in the advent calendar has a theme and follows with suggestions of different ways you can get involved with small, but meaningful acts of service.

“When people think of Christmas, they often think of lights,” said Bruce Muir, director of emergency response for the Church. “Christmas lights, lighted store windows, tree lights. Christ taught ‘Ye are the light of the world,” and we hope that through small and simple acts of service, we can spread the light of Christ—helping others to feel the love of the Savior through genuine kindness.”

This Advent Calendar helps us get into the Christmas spirit and follow Christ's example this holiday season as we go about our busy daily lives. Just one act of kindness each day can make someones day or brighten their future. You can also see each video that goes with the theme as it posts each day. Videos and printables, including the advent calendar, are available in multiple languages so people from all over the globe can participate. Go download the advent calendar today!

Seal 7 Album Review #Seal7 #O2O

We received this product free to facilitate this review. This post contains affiliate links which means I may receive a commission if you click a link and make a purchase. Thank you for supporting my blog!

Seal is a British soul and R&B, Grammy Award-winning multi-platinum singer-songwriter. His music has garnered many accolades and awards. He has a unique husky baritone voice that fans like my husband and I love.

7 is his 9th studio album and 7th full length album is set to be released on 6 November 2015 by Warner Bros. Records. I was lucky enough to get an advanced copy to listen to and review. Seal explores the emotion of love in this album and all its complexities, eccentricities, and connections. To properly discover and accomplish the story of the words and music he reunited with his producer Trevor Horn.

As Seal puts it, “I tried to capture all of the wonderfully different dynamics of love, whether it’s the anger, the acceptance, the bliss, the sadness, the elation, or the recklessness. It’s this emotion and the ways it makes us feel. It’s about the extreme joy and the extreme regret as well as all of the crazy things love makes us do.”




This album is passionate, deep, profound, and sincere. Seal soulfully sings about the emotion love in multiple different ways that I believe are very identifiable with its listeners. The feelings in this album are really strong and the connection is very deep. My favorite songs on this album are Every Time I'm With You, The Big Love Has Died, and Love. Along with Seal's rich voice, I love the piano in Every Time I'm With You. The message is beautiful as well. The Big Love Has Died is a bit heart wrenching, but definitely relatable to anyone who has lost love. Love is my absolute favorite song on this album. Its climactic culmination in just voice and piano is the perfect ending to this album.

7 Tracklisting:

1. Daylight Saving 
2. Every Time I'm With You
3. Life on the Dancefloor 
4. Padded Cell 
5. Do You Ever 
6. The Big Love Has Died 
7. Redzone Killer 
8. Monascow 
9. Half A Heart 
10. Let Yourself
11. Love

Sam's Christmas Wish by George D. Durrant, Illustrated by Dan Burr Book Review

We received this product free from Shadow Mountain to facilitate this review and participate in the blog tour. This post contains affiliate links which means I may receive a commission if you click a link and make a purchase. Thank you for supporting my blog!

Since loosing his job a few week before Christmas, Sam Edwards isn't looking forward to Christmas. He also isn't looking for charity from anyone for him or his family. Christmas brings a mysterious surprise left anonymously at his home, without any tracks to follow. Sam's heart changes when seeing his family's reaction to the gifts and kindness of this unknown someone. With the spirit of Christmas renewed in him, he makes the wish to have the opportunity himself to do something good anonymously for another. Only when he is old and sickly does he get the chance to have his wish fulfilled and granted. Read this book to find out how.

Sam's Christmas Wish is a wonderful book with gorgeous illustrations that helps get the Christmas spirit of love, gratitude, service and sacrifice flowing through us. I love this beautiful book. This book is a tearjerker. I couldn't help but tear up while reading it. Such a great miracle and blessing Sam became because of the remembrance of one act of service that opened up his heart to others. I love the heartwarming story and message it tells of the reality of the: joy of service, true giving, and the miracle of love. I would recommend this book to anyone needing some more Christmas spirit in your home. This book is so inspiring and begs the question to ask ourselves, “What gift will I give in secret this Christmas?”.
