Enter To Win Fireproof and Courageous DVDs – 48hr Giveaway!

This Post May Contain Affiliate Links : Disclosure Policy

 

One of my favorite movies was released on DVD today, Courageous. I am so excited about it that I want to giveaway this DVD and Fireproof, both amazing movies that I recommend every family to see! These are Christian films but they will touch your heart and soul in ways you’d never imagine.

I also highly suggest checking out their earlier films Facing The Giants and FlyWheel!

About Courageous:

Four men, one calling: To serve and protect. As law enforcement officers, Adam Mitchell, Nathan Hayes, David Thomson, and Shane Fuller are confident and focused. Yet at the end of the day, they face a challenge that none of them are truly prepared to tackle: fatherhood.

While they consistently give their best on the job, good enough seems to be all they can muster as dads. But they’re quickly discovering that their standard is missing the mark.

When tragedy hits home, these men are left wrestling with their hopes, their fears, their faith, and their fathering. Can a newfound urgency help these dads draw closer to God … and to their children?

About Fireproof:

At work, inside burning buildings, Capt. Caleb Holt lives by the old firefighter’s adage: Never leave your partner behind. At home, in the cooling embers of his marriage, he lives by his own rules.

Growing up, Catherine Holt always dreamed of marrying a loving, brave firefighter…just like her daddy. Now, after seven years of marriage, Catherine wonders when she stopped being “good enough” for her husband.

Regular arguments over jobs, finances, housework, and outside interests have readied them both to move on to something with more sparks.

As the couple prepares to enter divorce proceedings, Caleb’s father challenges his son to commit to a 40-day experiment: “The Love Dare.” Wondering if it’s even worth the effort, Caleb agrees-for his father’s sake more than for his marriage. When Caleb discovers the book’s daily challenges are tied into his parents’ newfound faith, his already limited interest is further dampened.

While trying to stay true to his promise, Caleb becomes frustrated time and again. He finally asks his father, “How am I supposed to show love to somebody who constantly rejects me?”

When his father explains that this is the love Christ shows to us, Caleb makes a life-changing commitment to love God. Andówith God’s helpóhe begins to understand what it means to truly love his wife.

White Collar Prize Pack Giveaway!

This Post May Contain Affiliate Links : Disclosure Policy

Here’s a fun giveaway to help get you prepped for the new season of White Collar which airs on USA starting 1/17 at 10/9 central.

What is White Collar about? 

White Collar is about the unlikely partnership of a con artist and an FBI agent who have been playing cat and mouse for years. Neal Caffrey (Matt Bomer), a charming criminal mastermind, is finally caught by his nemesis, FBI Agent Peter Burke (Tim DeKay). When Neal escapes from a maximum-security prison to find his lost love, Peter nabs him once again. Rather than returning to jail, Neal suggests an alternate plan: he’ll provide his criminal expertise to assist the Feds in catching other elusive criminals. Initially wary, Peter quickly finds that Neal provides insight and intuition that can’t be found on the right side of the law.

Hubby and I are big fans of TV dramas so this is right up our alley! I know i’ll never live a life like this (and possibly don’t want to, haha) but it’s always entertaining to watch!

Gingerbread House Creation and $25 BJ’s Gift Card Giveaway!

I created my first ever gingerbread house this week! I know, sad right? Growing up we never did one for some reason so this week I enjoyed building my first and I can’t wait to do more when the little pickle gets here! It took me over an hour to do so only because I had no idea what I was doing, again I’ve never built one before, so my creativity with it was a little slack.

The kit came with tons of goodies including gingerbread to build Santa’s sleigh and two reindeer which I thought was cute. Not to mention tons of gum drops, small candy, candy sticks, more icing than you’ll ever need and more. I thoroughly enjoyed building it and snacking as I went along, even hubby got his hands dirty with me on it which was not expected!
