Reading for Mom and the Kids

My children love to read and I cannot possibly try to keep up with reviewing each book each of my children would like to read to examine it for appropriate content, etc. I have found a couple of wonderful sites that help parents do this. The two sites that I have found the most detailed and thorough are:

http://sites.google.com/site/p​arentalbookreviews/home and
http://www.commonsensemedi​a.org/

I have also found two great sites that review movies. They are:

http://dove.org/reviews.as​p and
http://www.pluggedin.com/

Some of theses sites also review video games, etc. It is so difficult to know if things that your children want to read/watch/play are appropriate sometimes and these sites make it a little easier.

I was reading a post from my daughter on Facebook a few days back and I loved the quote that she posted:

‎"The most beautiful people are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen." -Elizabeth Kubler Ros

Also, I have started reading a book called "One Thousand Gifts". I have tried to post a link to this site. Hopefully it will work. It is unlike any book that I have read and I am really enjoying it. I think you might too! Check out her website and blog.

With love and Hope, my blogging friends,
Cheryl
