Shutting Down.

Hi my Followers. I wanted to let you know that I will be shutting The Klauer Review Down for good. It has been fun but way too time consuming to do on my own.. I have had a few fun years of sharing some great products with you and I hope you took our pretty laid back rambling reviews and got some good use out of them.

With 4 small boys and my husband Deploying soon with the Army I just need to dump a few stresses off my plate. 

Sorry and Thank you for being amazing Followers.

Journal 10~ Ends December 14th (11:59pm eastern time)

Well my friends it is that time of year for Journalers to buy a new Journal  Why go with just any old Journal that is only a year long why not try Journal 10.. It is a whole DECADE long. 

Journal 10

Some of the Features (information from their site)~

Our Daily Page is the heart of Journal 10+. Record your activities, thoughts, feelings & memories. Each Daily Page covers a single date. The page is divided into 11 sections, one for each year, with four lines for each individual daily entry. Enough room to record the day's events without the burden of creating a lengthy entry. Each year you will record your entry for that date on the same page, and so you get to look back and relive all your wonderful memories from past years.

No one plans to fail, but quite a few folks fail to plan. Begin each year with focus & purpose with our Looking Ahead section. Each year has its own page for setting goals and tracking your progress toward them. Record your personal goals & dreams, or those for your family. Refer back to this section throughout the year to stay on track, alter plans as circumstances change and celebrate each of your achievements

Never forget another birthday, anniversary or special date. This handy reference keeps you on top of all recurring dates. Spread over six pages with generous space for each month, you'll be able to plan gift and card selections well in advance and avoid the embarrassment of overlooking these meaningful events.

 

Our Thoughts~  I am excited to start writing.  With 4 small boys it is hard to keep up with a full length type journal.  But with this journal there is a small spot each day for a cliff notes version of the day or maybe a funny thing that happened or something funny your kids did or said.  My kids are forever saying something silly and I try to remember to write those little conversations down but with this journal it will give me that spot to keep these treasures close.  I like that you have all 10 years for that day on the one page so you can look back each year and see what happened on that day the previous  years.  

I am very excited to share this with you and excited about this giveaway. a Rafflecopter giveaway

Child Trainig Bible

What is CTB?  (from their site)

The Child Training Bible is tool that allows parents and children (and anyone that loves the Word of God) to go directly to the pages of Scripture for instruction in 20 key areas with a complete section dedicated to the gospel. 

The CTB was designed with Colossians 3:9-10 in mind.  “You have put off the old self with its practices and have put on the new self.”  The Scriptures selected for the CTB teach why we are to “put off” certain behavior and what godly behavior we are to “put on” instead.

The front key of the CTB is a visual index of the areas that Scripture teaches us to “put off.”  These areas correspond to color-coded tabs and highlighted text.  CTB Scriptures address both negative and positive responses with the emphasis on Jesus Himself, His perfect life as an example and gift to us.

To make a Child Training Bible you will use the CTB charts that include over 200 Scripture references, heart and gospel questions, and sample prayers.

Make a CTB for your family to have Scripture accessible and central in your home.

 

 Getting Started When you buy your cards you need to remember to buy some Tabbies and Highlighters and double sided tape to tape in your index card.  Best place to Look is Amazon I would have saved myself so much time if I would have just gone there.  Also in my bible I have very delicate pages and after I started working on my bible I think I will use Colored pencils instead.  I don't like the bleed through of my highlighters.  I haven't used typical highlighters in my Bible in a long time not since my student bible but that had heartier pages.  My new one I got for my Confirmation is just to delicate for regular highlighters.  I have used the new Gel Highlighters that I recently did a review on and those are brilliant in the bible but do not come in enough sorted colors for this.  So I will be heading back out for colored pencils to finish my labeling.

 As you can see I am not very far in my tabbing because I was messing around with the highlighters trying to find a way to not let them bleed through.  That is when a friend suggested Color pencils so I will be finishing soon.  I posted a photo above from the CTB website showing a finished tabbed bible. 

I love that this helps with easy to find and easy to access the Bible Verses that will help your child in times of conflict.  I wish there was a time for uplifting as well.  Like just having a sad day or heartbroken I know that is more for teenage years but I guess I am looking at it for encouragement as well.  Not that I am sure where more tabbies could be put but I'd love a few encouraging sections. But this is definitely a big help when you want to find it and find it fast.    Great companion for any household with little ones.  You let your little one know what you expect but it is nice to also introduce them to what God expects.

Watercolour. New education book for iPad will teach you and your kids basic skills in watercolour painting.

~Note from the Creator~

Dear Artist!

Yes, I appeal to you, dear reader, because I’m deeply convinced that the ability to express feelings through art is inherent in every person and is as natural as expressing thoughts through language.

I often hear: "I'm not sure - I think I have no talent for painting!"
Yes, we may not be as talented as Shakespeare but that does not stop our desire to speak, write, or to declare love, nor does it make us dumb.
Therefore let's set our insecurities about own imperfections aside and begin to learn how to express our emotions with the brush and paint! And remember it seems to be "scary" and "difficult" only when you do not know how to do it ... It is just as difficult to write a word when you do not know the letters.
So let's learn!

This book includes seven fascinating lessons in watercolour painting with interactive elements and video inserts:

1. Basic brushstrokes
2. Feather brushstroke
3. Roses and buds
4. Underpainting
5. Deciduous trees
6. Coniferous trees
7. Marine (seascape)

Sincerely yours,
Viktoria Maksymova

Our Thoughts~  This is a very neat interactive ebook.  It is like watching Bob Ross's Joy of Painting again.  The serenity in his painting.  This book helps teach you how to work with the watercolours but really doesn't let you practice at all.. I am not sure how that would be able to be programmed but I would love to see where you could practice the strokes in a simulated watercolour action after each lesson.  The way it is designed now I feel like I need to sit right next to the easel and practice as the book demonstrates.  My kids really enjoyed watching the book and the beautiful paintings that are done on the ebook to demonstrate the technique are mesmerizing.  If you ever wondered about water colors and wanted to try to learn this is a great instructional book for you.

Find them on Facebook and YouTube.   If you have an iPad here is the App Link
