The Waterproof Bible has much stronger pages than a normal Bible.  Well, they feel stronger because they feel almost like plastic sheeting.  There are a few things that I will do to test a Waterproof Bible, but I’m not willing to try to tear the pages even though they should withstand it, somewhat.

While I couldn’t bring myself to try tearing the pages, my daughter was happy to help me demonstrate how resistant the pages are to liquids and such.  Here, she is getting ready to pour a spoonful of coffee with creamer on it.

Can you see how it just beads up?

DD13 just wiped it away with nothing left behind.  No damage done.

Then, I wondered if something in soda might cause any problems.  Well, problems other than being sticky, that is.  No, the soda wiped away, too.  In fact, I used soap and water to wash the sugar off.

When I made supper that night, my daughter suggested that we put some of the creole on the Bible.  It was a little greasy and definitely spicy.  I wondered if the greasy nature of the food would cause any issues with it, but…

there wasn’t a bit left on it at all.  It wiped away clean and clear.  It is amazing how resilient this Bible is!  In fact, it has been read in the bathtub, too.

While the Waterproof Bible can be used by everyone, it would be a great choice for someone who spends a lot of time outside.  Maybe, a biker, a camper, or a military member would be grateful for the gift of a Waterproof Bible.  A Bible that would withstand the weather and terrain that a person like that would be in all the time.

The Waterproof Bible comes in a full Bible size and a New Testament with Psalms and Proverbs edition.  It is available in English Standard Version, King James Version, New International Version, New King James Version, and New Living Translation.  Prices vary, so please check the websites for pricing.

Do your kids have any great plans for you for Mother’s Day?  We are in the middle of moving, but my family has promised to make it up to me later.  While Mother’s Day is only celebrated once a year, our children know how much we support and encourage them every day of the year.  The Mother’s Day clip from Monsters University shows just how much of a part moms play in a child’s everyday life.

Happy Mother’s Day!

Monsters University comes to theaters June 21, 2013.  You can follow Monsters University on Twitter and Facebook.

My son is very visual, so the Time Timer concept works great for him.  When he was in Occupational Therapy, his therapist had a large timer with a disc like this, and she used it to help show how much time was allotted for each activity.  It seemed to work well for him.  I didn’t realize that Time Timer had timers like this that would work great in the home/homeschool setting.  This new version has a protective lens over the red disc, and it has a handy carrying handle for DS10 to carry it with him as he transitions from activity-to-activity.

It also has an audible alarm that sounds when the time is up.  The best part is that the alarm volume can be adjusted.  So many timers have one volume, and that is set at loud.  Many times the sound of a loud alarm will startle DS10, so the ability to lower the volume of the alarm is a great asset on this timer.

If you have a child who is having a problem with the concept of time or a child who has issues with transitioning from activity-to-activity, a Time Timer might help you, too.  Even if you don’t have problems in your classroom, a Time Timer is an awesome way to just stay on schedule.
