Christmas TV Special Review & Giveaway

For those of you who celebrate Christmas, get ready to be dazzled with pure family-friendly holiday entertainment. That's because on December 6 at 9pm ET/6pm PT the new Christmas Under the Stars holiday music special starring two-time GRAMMY winner Lauren Daigle is scheduled to air on BYUtv. 

Christmas Family Music TV Special, December 6

Don't miss MBE's Exclusive Giveaway, Details at bottom

Having had the chance to screen Christmas Under the Stars in advance, I think you're in for a real treat. From the moment Daigle, an award-winning contemporary Christian singer and songwriter with a devoted following, takes center stage you will want to just relax, sit back and take it all in. 

Don't forget to be prepared for family movie night at your house! You'll definitely want to have some hot chocolate and Christmas cookies on hand ready to serve while you and your children are enjoying this musical holiday special together.

 

With a run time of just under one hour, young and old will likely get lost in the improvised jazzy and beautiful arrangements of classic traditional holiday tunes. From Jingle Bells to O Holy Night and more from Daigle's album Behold: A Christmas Collection, which is available on CD or as an MP3 download, you've never seen or heard Christmas music performed quite like this. The album debuted at No. 77 on the US Billboard 200 in November 2016 and is still touching the hearts and souls of many fans.

The intimate and upbeat Christmas Under the Stars performance, available for free streaming exclusively via BYUtv or the BYUtv App, was taped during the pandemic before a live studio audience sitting in pairs on couches safely social distancing around the show floor. The performance also includes Daigle singing her hit song Light of the World (Behold Version).  Light of the World (2013), which was the singer's very first single to be released has continued to endure, with the tune's music video now approaching 9 million views on YouTube. 

Clearly, this Louisiana born and raised female artist's unique music style is deeply rooted and inspired by her exposure to the zydeco, blues, and Cajun music with which she grew up.

Interview with Lauren Daigle

In this interview Lauren Daigle shares some thoughts on why she's so passionate about her music and Behold: A Christmas Collection 

Mark your calendar for December 6 now. Then when Christmas Under the Stars airs, get into the holiday spirit from the safety of your home and, of course, feel free to sing along! 

Meanwhile, keep reading to find out how you can enter MBE's exclusive giveaway for chance to win Lauren Daigle's Behold: A Christmas Collection CD album.

Free Kids Wireless Phones While Supplies Last

Giveaway

2,500 Gabb Wireless Phones to be Given Away

With so much concern about kids safety online and off, and all the uncertainty right now, staying connected has never been more important. That's why as a mom of four kids, triplets plus one all born within a year, I'm excited to give parents a heads up about Gabb Days of Giving and the upcoming Gabb Wireless free phone giveaway next week.

MBE Partnered with Gabb for this campaign

Phone Giveaway Starts November 23

On Monday, November 23, beginning at 11 am ET/8am PT, Gabb Wireless is giving away a total of 2,500 Gabb Z2 wireless mobile phones valued at $99.99 each on a first-come, first-serve basis. 

Service is not included with these free phones that work exclusively on the Gabb Wireless nationwide network which covers most areas of the US. However, no long-term contract is required and users have their choice of two monthly plans starting at $19.99+ per month.

In addition to giving out $250,000 worth of cell phones, Gabb Wireless is donating $25,000 to the non-profit SaveTheKids Foundation to honor the late Collin Kartchner, a young father who was founder of this national organization advocating for the protection of kids from the dangers of social media, online threats and excessive tech device usage.

"We are giving away 25,000 phones to help keep more kids safe," says Stephen Dalby, founder and CEO of Gabb Wireless. "This has been a difficult year for us all and we want to give back to the community so parents and children can focus on enjoying time with family and friends during the holiday season and stay connected with others." 

What Sets The Gabb Wireless Phone Apart

The Gabb Z2 phone has the look and feel of a smartphone. But, since it does not allow internet access, parental controls aren't needed. So, the device helps guard youth against such dangers as screen addiction, cyberbullying, inappropriate content, online predators and more. 

Gabb's mobile phone comes equipped with 14 essential built-in apps which provide freedom for kids from distractions such as social media, internet, games, and app stores.

 

How to Get a Free Phone 
for Your Child

Parents can claim a free Gabb Z2 phone for your son or daughter HERE. Participants can then activate their child's phone by selecting from one of two Gabb Wireless plans, neither of which requires a long-term contract. Choose from the Gabb Unlimited Talk and Text Plan ($19.99/month) or the Gabb Plus Plan ($24.99/month) which allows MMS sharing of group and image texts. A software update in November is expected to add GPS functionality to both levels of Gabb Wireless service.

About Gabb Wireless

Headquartered in the Silicon Slopes, Utah, Gabb Wireless enables parents to provide kids with the ideal first phone without worrying about uncontrolled access to the internet, inappropriate content, social media, academic distraction, cell phone addiction and more.

Smart Train Kids STEM Toy Review + Giveaway

Toys

MBE partnered with Intelino for this review and giveaway and this post contains affiliate links

2020 Year of The Smart Toy Train

For decades, kids have been enchanted with trains large and small. As a Baby Boomer I know trains sure did fascinate me as I recall the book The Engine That Could which my parents read to me and the elaborate Lionel electric model train table village my Daddy built in our basement for our family and friends to enjoy. Then when I became a mother, we raised our foursome with the help of Thomas the Tank Engine as well as visits to children's museums dedicated to the history and fun of real and toy trains, and a family vacation train trip via the Alaska Railroad from Anchorage to Denali National Park.

The Classic Toy Train Reinvented for Modern Kids

Fast forward to 2020. There's a new, ultra modern futuristic smart train speeding down the tracks, approaching the station and pulling into the hearts and homes of boys and girls just in time for the holiday shopping season. Meet the Intelino J1 Smart Train, the classic train toy retooled for a new generation, which has been selling abroad for a year and is now also available across North America in the US and Canada. 

A special thank you to my nephew and niece's darling children for test driving the Intelino J1 Smart Train Starter Set they received from the brand, sharing with you our loyal readers how much fun they're having with this intellectually stimulating toy and what a great holiday gift idea other kids will likely appreciate.

Rooted in the nostalgia and traditional toy train playing experience of yesteryear, the Intelino Smart Train incorporates the latest robotics technology. Even better, it is expandable and designed to grow with your child as their fine motor abilities and STEM skills emerge and develop.

 

For a child as young as a 3-year old, thanks to the simplicity of the train's design, no technical ability is required. As a child's first train set, a preschooler can enjoy screen free amusement with a modular train track that is easy for little ones to click together to assemble, ready for hours of train playing fun. 

To make things even more exciting, little ones can even snap on different color tiles to the track which impact the way the train moves. Out of the box, the engine comes with 17 snap-based actions built-in to the train. So even without the app, the smart engine's color sensors are continuously scanning the track while the train is in motion, responding to each of seven tile colors with different actions. An added plus for the younger set is that the Intelino train included in the starter set is compatible with the ability to run (with a few limitations) on most major brand wooden tracks made by BRIO, IKEA and others.

Expanding Kids Minds As They Grow

Later, when paired with the free app that's included, older boys and girls are able to interact with the toy on a more complex and sophisticated level. Elevating the train's functionality to new heights using a smartphone or mobile device, the Intelino Smart Train grows with kids, expanding into a smart train featuring advanced robotics which will engage new STEM skills as youngsters grow, learn, control and interact with the train.

"First we went through the instructions together, learning about how everything works," the kids' mom recalls. "Then my six-year old easily assembled the track on his own in about 15 minutes while I downloaded the app onto a smartphone. The next thing I knew, my son and his younger sister, who is in kindergarten, were off to the races having a blast together, saying things like 'Oh my gosh, Mom, look at that train go and Vroom and off we go!'

"As a parent I like that the Intelino Smart Train is not only educational and helps to build STEM skills, it is also small, compact, making it simple for kids to put together and take apart for storage. Best played with on a wood, laminate or other smooth surface floor, the train, tracks and app are all easy enough for boys and girls as young as 5 or 6 years old to use without any adult involvement. This is a fun activity to keep my kids occupied for an hour or two while I'm preparing dinner, especially on hectic school nights."

How Intelino Works With the App

The smart engine is powered by a 32-bit ARM microcontroller via Bluetooth wireless connectivity, while the MCU controls the train’s sensors, running its software algorithms and communicating with external devices. It also enables firmware updates and user programmability features. But don't let all that technical jargon about robotics scare you because the Intelino train "brain" is hardwired to offer a host of really fun features which older kids can easily tap into and leverage.  

In addition to a multi-function button to turn the engine ON and OFF and start and stop it, kids will appreciate all capabilities they can control such as traveling speed, sound and light effects. For example, the built-in speaker makes it possible to change the sound of the train from a city express train, to and police transporter and more. 

Similarly, LED feedback lights on the train engine illuminate via color LEDs -- customized by the user by programming within the app -- which varies as the train starts, stops, moves forward or backward, or goes slower or faster traveling up to 3.3 feet (100 centimeters) per second. It even has a mileage odometer which tracks and records how far the train has traveled.

Additional cool features include the electro-magnetic wagon coupler in the rear of the engine which can also be controlled via color senor inputs or through the app, dropping off the attached wagon on demand. The included Lithium Polymer battery delivers 100+ minutes of continuous play time and is rechargeable via a micro-USB port.

 

The Intelino J1 Smart Train Starter Set

The fun begins as soon as the box is opened. Inside, kids will discover an unboxing experience like none other as they check out what's inside each of the nested boxes. 

What's Included

• Smart Train Engine and a Wagon
• 20-piece Train Tracks Set
• 40 Color Snaps Controlling Train Actions
• Sheet of Decals to Customize Train Cars
• USB Charging Cable
• Quick-Start Guide

As you've seen by the images throughout this post, my 5-year old grand niece and 6-year old grand nephew gave this train set a thorough test drive, ultimately giving the Intelino Smart Train Starter Set a thumbs up kids seal of approval. Their mom and dad also agree and they look forward to many hours of family fun together watching their kids playing together while increasing their STEM skill smarts through interacting with this innovative train set.

Making Wishes Come True Review + Giveaway

Mindfulness

Wish Making Reinvented

MBE partnered with Wishbeads for this review + giveaway

Every dream realized begins with a wish proving wishes can and really do come true. Making wishes is a part of the human experience, a way of living with eternal optimism and of setting our hopes and dreams in motion.

 

 

Think about it. Who hasn't made an earnest birthday wish before blowing out the candles on your birthday cake? Or made a wish upon seeing a shooting star or set a new goal to work toward while watching a beautiful sunset?

The question then becomes how do you increase the chances of turning that wish or goal into reality. That's why California mom entrepreneur Alexa Fischer created Wishbeads, reinventing the wish making process with affordable, beautiful and meaningful jewelry for women, men, and children along with authoring a how-to companion book called Wish Work.

Make a Wish, Do the Work

Whether you are wishing for a dream career opportunity, looking for a new and lasting relationship, or any other desire, it all starts with having an intention, an end goal in mind. Granted, making a wish is the easy part and is just the beginning of your journey. It also requires focus, dedication and hard work on your part to help bring your heart's dreams to fruition.

 

Wishbeads Make a Wish Bracelets

Inspiration for the Wishbeads logo comes from the stylized Japanese kanji for "wish granted" and if you turn it to the side, it's also the sign of "woman" as well as is quite similar to the Egyptian ankh which is considered the staff of life.  

The unique brand's mantra helps you discover and harness your own positive potential and energy, guiding you through the process of manifesting your wishes, goals and desires from visualizing it to writing it down on the included wish paper to inserting your handwritten wish into the jewelry's small cannister.  Then you wear the bracelet or necklace with your secret wish safely tucked inside wherever you go as a constant reminder of the dream you are actively working toward. 

Intentional Jewelry Rich in Meaning

Wishbeads includes a huge selection of handmade recycled glass bead as well as natural stone bead bracelets and necklaces. Among the brand's lines to choose from are the African Recycled Glass, Shine Collection, Intention Collection, Kids Collection, and one-of-a-kind Bling by Billie who is Alexa's very creative mom. From polished lapis lazuli (associated with tranquility) to matte amethyst (known for its connection to the mind) to matte rose quartz (the love stone), to beads crafted from recycled glass each piece in the collection is rich in beauty and special meaning.

Wishbeads African Recycled Glass Bead Bracelet in Rose

The African Recycled Glass collection, which currently comes in nine different colored beads, is especially noteworthy. Like the others in this eco-friendly recycled line, the Rose Recycled Glass Bracelet ($58) I received is created with beads handmade by members of the Krobo Tribe in Ghana, Africa. 

To hand craft these beads, native artisans use a centuries-old technique to form each bead individually by compressing the glass into a dry grain. Then, the grain is heated and poured into porcelain molds and the stem of the cassava leaf is added to each one to form the bead's hole. The final heating burns the stem away and fuses the glass together producing vibrant colors and beautifully irregular bead shapes that are then used to create one-of-a-kind wearable jewelry art pieces.

Wishbeads Kids Rainbow Bracelet

The Wishbeads Kids Collection includes six happy and colorful choices including my personal favorite, the Rainbow Bracelet style, which you see pictured here. So, a fun idea for moms or dads might be to pair a Wishbeads bracelet for you along with one of the children's styles for your son or daughter,  so you both can make wishes together.

Each of the brand's bracelets is gift boxed (except for children's styles) and all include hand strung glass or stone beads and clasp; solid brass cylinder with screw cap, and five wish papers. Necklaces are similarly boxed and packaged. Women's bracelets ($48-$58) vary in length between 18.5cm-19cm while Men's bracelets ($48) are slightly larger in size and Kids' bracelets ($30) are a bit smaller to fit tiny wrists. Necklaces ($58) are adjustable with a chain length of 31".

Wishbeads Bracelet with Wishwork Book

Wishwork Book

If jewelry isn't your thing, you can still work on your wishes in a tangible way, benefiting from the wisdom of the journal style paperback book Wishwork: A 21 Day Journey by Alexa Fischer ($14.99) which is available separately. 

Through a new prompt every day in this book, you'll read a short inspirational passage and take one small action daily over 21 days. The author guides you through a gentle step-by-step personal journey which starts with identifying and committing to your #1 wish and then motivating you and helping you work toward realizing your dream.

 The Wishbeads Paper Bracelet Kit

Also offered is a DIY jewelry making set suitable for tweens, teens and grownups, The Wishbeads Paper Bracelet Kit, sold individually ($40) and in bundles of 5 Kits ($125) or 10 Kits ($225) is perfect for groups, retreats, and special gatherings. 

Each boxed crafting set comes with everything needed to create Wishbeads paper bead bracelet including writing paper, red pen, scissors, glue, elastic, drying sticks, signature bead, and a writing journal with a 21-day guide.

Alexa with Wishbeads DIY Paper Beads Bracelet Kit

"Whether it's big or small, easy or difficult, you have the power to make it happen," explains Alexa. "As you go through the wish making process with my book Wishwork and/or with your chosen Wishbeads jewelry piece, you'll feel optimism grow as you take real, actionable steps toward bringing you closer to making your wish come true. Write, wear and witness the power of wish manifestation and enjoy each day of your personal growth journey."
