Jamie Grace CD Giveaway

A few years ago, I was in the car doing errands and listening to KLove, when a super upbeat song came on. It was a new artist, Jamie Grace, and her song was, Hold Me. Not only was it a great tune with excellent ear-wormy lyrics, but it featured tobyMac---a favorite artist since I was in fourth grade. (Yes, I'm from the DC-Talk-is-playing-in-the-high-school-gym-tonight generation.)

Since then, I've loved listening to Jamie Grace. She's upbeat, and her music just makes you happy to be serving God. Would you absolutely love to win her CD, One Song at a Time? Make sure to check out the Rafflecopter below because Family Christian will be giving one of my readers a free copy!

Jamie's new CD, One Song at a Time features the following excellent songs: Ready to Fly, Hold Me, With You, Show Jesus, Come to Me, God Girl, Holding On, You Lead, One Song at a Time, 1945, and Not Alone.

This is an excellent Christmas idea for the young lady on your list. I just might be giving mine away to a special girl I know this Christmas!

Starting New Healthy Habits with LISTERINE #MC #sponsored

I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for LISTERINE. I received samples for this review and a promotional item to thank me for participating.

Oral care and hygeine have always been really important to me---especially when it comes to my kids. With a family the size of ours, it can be difficult to establish good routines for the kids, but it's so important to do so when it comes to caring for our teeth and gums. A few great plaque and cavity fighting products, along with regular dental checkups, are part of a healthy oral care routine. I was recently sent a big selection of LISTERINE floss, rinses, and breath strips, and I'm looking forward to my family trying them all.

The kids enjoy using mouthwash and this fun Avengers themed anticavity flouride rinse is really going to get them excited. It helps prevent cavities and removes particles that they might miss when brushing. Since they're not always super thorough, this is a great extra step to take after brushing. Also, some of my kids absolutely love to floss. I know, that's probably not the norm, but they do. Then again, there are several that really need to make it

a more regular habit. This soft floss in the Gentle Gum Care line is just right for sensitive gums. I think it's a good starting product for my littlest ones to practice flossing.

As for the adults in the family, we're going to try out this Healthy White mouthrinse. It removes and prevents stains, is gentle on tooth enamel, and helps kill germs. My oldest, Lynzie, and I have been wanting to try some whitening products so this will be just perfect. I also know my husband will like having these breath strips for his pocket at work and I'm snagging the handled flosser. It looks like fun to use and I like that it gets back into hard to reach places.

The Homemaking Party: The One Room Schoolhouse

Welcome to the Homemaking Party! If you haven't already, please sign up for email subscriptions in my sidebar. I've just started a new email list and would love to send you updates!

This past week, our family visited a one room schoolhouse here in Northwest Arkansas. It was built in 1905 and is being preserved by former students and teachers.
