{Giveaway} 1 Girl Nation

November 22, 2013 by Kristin Leave a Comment


I’m going to let you in on a confession that really may not be that much of a secret: I like pop music. Of course, then I feel old when I don’t like the messages of many pop songs. If I don’t want my kids to hear it {and when I say “hear it,” I mean possibly pick up on any message that their little ears don’t need to hear yet …}, then I really don’t listen to it either.

So when I heard about some pop music aimed at young girls that had a positive message, I was eager to hear it. My girl may only be 6 1/2, but she is quick to learn songs and repeat them. Cate was excited when I turned on the 1 Girl Nation CD in our mini van on the way to school recently. She danced in the back seat as she read the words from the CD cover and sang along.

After listening to the CD multiple times, Cate says she likes all the songs, but chooses “Love Like Crazy” as her favorite and “Daddy’s Girl” as her “last favorite.” She gets her ability to rank anything and everything from me, but I have no idea who taught her to dance.

So, why does she like them?

In her own words: “I like disco songs.”

Yeah, I know. To my first-grade girl, pop music is disco music. I grin inside every time she says it, so I haven’t really explained the true meaning of “disco.” I guess they’ll all be oldies by the time she’s an adult anyway.

About 1 Girl Nation :: Landing in the space where One Direction meets TobyMac, 1 Girl Nation is an exciting blend of upbeat pop music, with lyrics that are totally focused on living life for God, even while you’re young. The band stars Carmen, Kayli, Kelsey, Lauryn Taylor and Lindsey, who are five girls with a passion for telling their fans about Christ through their music. The CD’s first single, “While We’re Young,” can be heard on radio stations across the country and their self-titled debut album is available now! The primary audience is preteens, teens, and young adults, but, hey, parents can take it in too!)

You can keep up with 1 Girl Nation at the band’s website, Facebook page, Twitter profile and YouTube page.

    Ooh! Taylor would love this (and I probably would too.) I wouldn't say any of my kids have any favorite pop songs, but Taylor does love to sing and will sing along to anything I have on the radio/computer. She does really like Toby Mac, Matt Redman's song We Are The Free, and Britt Nicole's song Gold.

After lots of time at home the past month, we wer After lots of time at home the past month,  we were thankful for a family-friendly movie I got to screen from the comfort of our couch. My husband, mother-in-law, and I may have liked it more than the kids, but we also were glad for some clean entertainment to share with the youngsters in the house.

“Dolphin Island” is a heartwarming feature film about 14-year-old Annabel who lives with her fisherman grandfather on an island paradise. They operate a nonprofit marine research and conservation center. She is surrounded by an extended family of loving but quirky neighbors and her best friend, a dolphin named Mitzy. 

Everything changes when her maternal grandparents arrive with a shifty lawyer to bring her back to New York. Annabel and her friends navigate these circumstances to prove that love conquers all.

As February ends and March begins, we are thankful As February ends and March begins, we are thankful for a house on higher ground, where we’ve been sheltered from so much this month. We’re thankful there’s another way out, and the school taxi commute is only about five minutes longer than usual. We’re thankful for health and each other and God’s goodness and provisions even when – perhaps especially when – we have no idea what’s around the next corner.

Y’all, this is (was?) our road after yesterday’s insane amount of rain. The almost 4 inches in the morning did this.

A new book by a favorite author is always a welcom A new book by a favorite author is always a welcomed thing, and @kristinhannahauthor didn’t disappoint. Plus it was my @bookofthemonth pick. 

#TheFourWinds is set during some sad years with the Dust Bowl, migration to California, and the Great Depression. Yet this is a story of hope and belonging. Hope kept a mom and her two kids going, despite circumstances that destroyed. Hope led to this mom finding her voice, recognizing her worth, and discovering love that lasts.

Seven weeks after quadruple bypass heart surgery, Seven weeks after quadruple bypass heart surgery, my mother-in-law moved home today. We were happy to care for her and we are thrilled she’s doing so well. 

I knew she was faithful and strong before, but watching her recovery from open heart surgery convinced me even more of her steadfastness and courage.
