FANCY FRIDAY GIVEAWAY

What tickled my fancy this week? For one, I was elated to hit the 10,000 page views milestone in such a short amount of time. Thank you for being faithful readers of Hailey's Helpful Hints. I can't tell you how much fun I am having bringing you daily tips, tricks and product picks!

Speaking of product picks - and the main focus of this Fancy Friday post. When I first started this blog, there were some topics I told myself I wasn't going to rant and rave about. Politics and religion being two at the top of the list. Today however I am going to break my "religious" commitment because I feel every parent should know about the "Will and Wisdom" series.

Chase was recently given a set of Will and Wisdom books and after reading them I am a HUGE fan. Each story follows the adventures of a strong-willed 10 year old boy, Will, and his best friend, Wisdom, who happens to be both a fun-loving guinea pig and Bible Scholar. The series features a timeless virtue {Perseverance, Honesty, Faith and Kindness} and highlights Godly principles for children of all ages. What excites me so much about the Will and Wisdom books are the impactful life lessons they teach. They are profoundly simple. Yet so insightful for children - even my 2.5 year old.

Another book I really like from the same authors is "Jesus A to Z." It is a perfect summary that helps simplify the truths found in the Bible for children. This book is a fantastic tool for parents eager to teach their children who God truly is but don't really know where to start. I highly recommend.

There's no denying that kid's are sponges - soaking in everything, good and bad. I feel it is my duty as a parent to try to instill positive Christian values with the hope that Chase will choose wisely when forced to make tough decisions. I also believe that reading to your children is one of the most influential activities you can do. Even if all you have time for is one book. The Will and Wisdom books are perfect for killing two birds with one stone - they are a quick read (written in both English and Spanish) packed with memorable, faith-based lessons.
For today's GIVEAWAY, I will be giving the first three readers a stack of books from the Will and Wisdom series - minus 'What About Christmas.' In the comment you must answer the question: WHAT WAS YOUR OR YOUR CHILD'S FAVORITE BOOK GROWING UP?
Please also include your email in the comment so I can reach out to your for your address.

Note: If you choose to order any of the Will and Wisdom books as gifts from their online Bookstore, a portion of the proceeds will go to children in need. Each book retails for $2.50.

Tame the Tum: Spare tire or stress bulge?

For many women, getting bikini ready means tackling one dreaded area in particular — our tummies. Most of us still think the best way to achieve a washboard stomach is by doing hundreds of sit-ups. Not so, says A-list trainer and body guru James Duigan. James, who sculpts supermodels Elle Macpherson and Rosie Huntingdon-Whiteley among others, insists there is no ‘one size fits all’ method for getting a flat belly. Instead, he’s identified five key ‘tummy types,’ all of which require a different approach to achieve successful toning. Once you figure out your tummy type (mine is the STRESS BELLY) thanks to the UK Daily Mail , you'll be on your way to getting the perfect midriff... THE SPARE TIRE TUMMY The spare tire: This is one of the easiest tummy troubles to eliminate because it's caused by eating the wrong foods and not exercising enough. HOW TO IDENTIFY THIS TYPE These people are likely to lead sedentary lives, perhaps with jobs that k...

FLATFORM SHOES: Yay or Nay?

Yes, you heard right. It’s the flatform, not the platform! The flatform is really just a flat sandal elevated on a platform sole and it's said to be the "IT" shoe for Spring 2011. This geisha-inspired look is basically one of those styles that you either love or you don’t. And it’s another shoe that is trying to compensate for the painful high heels that have been so prevalent in past seasons. Women are asking for change. Women are wanting the height that the high heel gives but without the foot pain associated with them, so the shoe makers and designers are trying to come up with different ways to solve this problem and give women what they want…but in a stylish shoe. Key word - "stylish." I am by no means a fashion guru but these are light years away from stylish in my book. Glamour magazine however seems to think they are. But then again Glamour magazine doesn't always speak to the , around town girl that isn't trying to look avant-garde on a daily ba...
