The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the and the Wardrobe

Movie Review: The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the and the Wardrobe

The beloved book by C.S. Lewis has finally been brought to life on the big screen! Since all family standards are different, some of you may disagree with me and that is fine. I, for one, think it is a very good rendition and nicely true to the book, unlike many movies these days. No major parts were cut out, although they had the children get into the wardrobe a little quicker than the book did. The computer graphics are wonderful, but the battle is a little intense. I would not recommend taking your younger children to see it on the big screen. If your little ones often have bad dreams or have a tendancy to get scared at night, you will definately want to fast-forward the part when the kills Aslan. When Daddy took us older three children to see it, I made my brother sit on my lap for that part. I can truthfully say I never missed any of it or closed my eyes, but I wanted someone to squeeze! The has alot of scary-looking monsters  on her side! But it was extremly good! If you don't catch it the first time or have trouble understanding it, I would recommend seeing it again. It is 10 times better the second time you see it!

Sewing tip

Do any you have a certain spot where your buttonseems to  ALWAYS bust off? Well, next time you're sewing it on, use upholstry thread. It will work (I just tried it) and it will hold your button on!

Children are a blessing

In our culture, children are regarded as pests and burdens, not God-given gifts!

Me and my family strongly believe in taking as many children as God chooses to bless us with. Personally, I want at least 40 of my own! I'm sure this will bring a lot of comments, but that's what I like!

Baby tip

Good morning, blog readers! Since most of you have children, this should be a useful tip. Every night that I am responsible for putting my baby brother, Squishy, to bed, I bathe his face with a wet washcloth. It calms him down, especially if he is sick. You can use either warm or cold water, depending on the weather. If your little one has a fever, I would suggest cold water, but it's up to you! Also, you can decide exactly how wet it is, depending on the situation. Hope it helps!  

Note on 'Goat Milk'

A commenter (Kay) reminded me of goat cheese. It is very good, although I don't know how to make it. I've heard different things about making it, but have never tried. Kay-do you know how to make it? If so, please to comment again with a link to your blog!

Milk Goats

Most of you know about farm animals and some of you probably have goats. Milk goats

can be very profitable. If you can manage to get your children 'weaned' off cows milk and onto goat's milk, you'll save the money you spend on your weekly milk. If your goats yield enough milk, you can sell it and will eventually pay off the price you paid for them!  Besides, goats milk is nice and healthy and (once you get used to the taste) it is very delicous!
