dad-who-leads-free-bookNew FREE June Christian Audio Book – Being A Dad Who Leads by John MacArthur.

As a Christian father, you bear a tremendous responsibility―to raise your children through both biblical instruction and personal example. But how can you succeed in a society that attacks the role of fatherhood and godly family values? Are you sometimes tempted to give in or give up?

The rewards of being a dad who leads are well worth making the effort to stand firm. The Bible offers clear guidance for dads on how to parent effectively. Join pastor-teacher John MacArthur as he looks at…

*the keys to building healthy family unity
*essential character qualities to teach every child
*how to lovingly discipline children and nurture obedience
*traps to avoid in the course of parenting
*the power of a dad’s example to influence future generations

Commit yourself to being a dad who leads, and God will enable you every step of the way. There’s no surer path to experiencing a lifetime of family blessings!

On Amazon, the Audio Version is $14.95.

Tarp Beach Pool for Kids

36.) Easily make a beach pool so kids can still enjoy the water on days where there are rough waves or strong tides. Idea from In Lieu of Preschool.

beach-pool-smaller

Beach Bathtub for Kids

37.) This works best at a public beach that is not too crowded. Store your beach toys in a large Rubbermaid container. When you get to the beach, remove the toys and fill a large plastic bin with water at the closest shower. Keep the bin filled while you play during the day. The water will warm up in the sun. When you are ready to go, grab a bar of soap and bathe the kids in your Rubbermaid container. Fill back up with toys and drive home. This is great for getting the kids clean before they climb back into your car!

rubbermaid-container-smaller

No Mess Beach Toys Holder

38.) A Mesh Basket for Beach Toys also works great for preventing mess. This shakes the sand off immediately to keep the bag and your toys sand-free. Idea from the Idea Room. Grab yours HERE.

Seashell Craft

40.) If your family is anything like mine, you leave the beach with more shells than you know what to do with. Instead of letting them sit around, try this Melted Shell Crayon Art from Artful Parent. You can store them all in a glass jar or vase for beautiful, colorful room décor at home.

Disney World is a destination for all, and it makes the perfect destination for friends that enjoy an active vacation spent together.

While all of the runDisney events are excellent fun, these are some of the best to participate in when you have a group of friends along for the fun.

Disney Princess Half Marathon Weekend

This weekend is all about getting together with your best friends and packing as much fun as possible into a single weekend. This event is all about dressing up as your favorite Disney Princess, think tutus and tiaras, and running for a cause. If a half marathon isn’t possible for some of the members of your group, there are shorter, less intense, races they can participate in too so no one is left out of the fun. Cap off your weekend with special entertainment brought in just for the race, character events and photo opps for the entire group and one of the best after party celebrations you’ve ever been too held in Downtown Disney.

The run is 5K, making it possible for all levels of runner to participate, only the race course is interspersed with challenged obstacles you need to overcome before moving on. Because of the obstacles, this challenge is most fun when done with friends, there to help you get through each portion, but also to motivate and compete amongst yourselves. Compete with others, compete with yourself, compete with your group – proveonce and for all which of you is really the best.

Disney Wine and Dine Half Marathon Weekend

Did someone say Wine? Everyone knows that the best way to enjoy a bottle of wine is with friends, making the Wine & Dine Festival a friend friendly way to spend a few days. Now you can wound off a weekend spent indulging in some of the best food and wine from around the world with a half marathon. Get your best friends together for this exciting event and the promise of even more great food and wine at the finish line. Runners get to make their way through three parks, mingle with some of the best chefs in the world and dance the night away to more of the popular bands and groups that are brought it for the festival.

It’s back! the The 13th annual Produce for Kids campaign kicked off April 24th and is featuring meal solutions, recipes and tips for families looking to embrace healthier eating habits.  This program runs through July and can be found both online and in select  nationwide grocery stores through July. Look for more than 200 registered dietitian-approved and family-tested recipes, meal planning tools for your home, and healthy tips from REAL parents (yes, we all get picky eaters)!

I always love how this campaign is fun, colorful, creative and eye-catchy for kids. Even better than it’s looks, it offers an amazing taste! Take a look at this Triple Berry Banana Boats recipe (and many other recipes) on their website!
