This Week's Giveaway: God's Little Princess Kit!

May 21 2011

Full

Sheila Walsh has done it again. That amazing woman wrote a book titled, "How To Be God's Little Princess," and I have to say that it's the best little instructional manual for girls I've ever come across!

Klara (my seven-year-old) loves reading this. She has learned everything from how to set a table to how to pick the right tiara. But don't be fooled. It's not all glitz and frills. This book gets to the heart of the matter...

Like me, Sheila believes that we are all princesses because we are the daughters of the King. Isn't that amazing? We are royalty! And this book definitely reflects that viewpoint. Check out this quote from the book: Being God's princess, is not about being perfect, it's about being perfectly loved. So whether you have all your ducks in a row or whether your ducks went to the fair, ate too much, and fell asleep--you are loved, you are loved, you are loved!"

She dives into the real princess stuff in this book--how to treat people, how to be a friend, how to help others, and how to accept the love of God for His precious child. It's a wonderful read and an even more wonderful resource.

And I'm giving away a copy!

Wait, strike that. I'm not just giving away a copy of the book. I'm giving away an entire princess kit--four princess cups, four princess tiaras (with sticky jewels to decorate it), all wrapped up in a pretty pink princess backpack. How cool is that? You can have your own princess party (tea not included...).

Leave a comment below and share your princess tips (ways you teach your daughters to live like princesses), and you'll be entered to win. One of my princess tips is that every morning, instead of cleaning their rooms, I remind Klara and Kenna, to "make your princess room." I've taught them that as royalty, they deserve only the best--the cleanest room, the finest surroundings, everything. In order to treat themselves right, it begins right there in their own room. They clean their room and leave it tidy because that is how a princess room should look. This is also a good tips for us mamas. You know, you're a princess, too.

I can't wait to read your princess tips!

Talk About It!

Maggie and I would love this book. She is only three now, and loves to pretending to be a princess. She asks me if she is a beautiful princess, and I remind her that if she has a beautiful heart, she will always be beautiful. Then we talk about how to have a beautiful heart.

I tell my girls that, even though God gave us (as princesses of the King) fun things like fingernail polish and bubble baths, He also expects us to honor our role as "working royals" too. This means that we are to be the hands and feet of the work set out before us by our King, and to work to spread His Good News! Cheerfully, wholeheartedly, unabashedly, and freely. We are to have the characteristics of the Proverbs 31 woman (after all, I tell them, read what you will receive for your hard work and diligence at the end of Proverbs 31!! It's pretty stinkin' cool!), and we are to do these things "Right away, all the way, and with a happy heart". Which is our version of what I heard on your show: "Do it immediately, do it completely, and do it joyfully."

Though it's fun to be pampered as princesses, we also need to take our job as royalty seriously and spread the love around! That means helping mom, who will in turn lavish fun things on you because I cherish them. As God cherishes them!

I love the thought that a princess should have a clean room! I'm SO stealing this idea!

My 7-year-old daughter is positively beautiful. I try to stress that we should be even more beautiful on the inside, and she is.

Sadly we are having trouble with Princess like behavior these days. Our Princess tries very hard to compliment others and build people up, but some times her efforts don't quite hit the mark and people have hurt feelings. A fun etiquette book is just what we are looking for. We want Sarah Bella to lead the way to happiness for eternity by her example.

Wow! A princess kit?! That would be so incredible. My daughters are 9 and 7. We really enjoy being princesses of the True King. A kit would really help us with our pretending. Thanks for all you do for us!

My two princesses (5 and 2) (sorry, my mistake - 5 and a HALF and two and a HALF) would love this! Right now I am loving watching my "big princess" teach the Way of the Princess to her little sister. She has taken to heart that a princess's job is to care for the Kingdom and all of its people - as she says to me all too often, "Mama, why don't people remember that God gave us this Earth to take care of for him?" Why indeed?

This sounds awesome - thank you! I have 4 kids (oldest and youngest are the girls). My oldest (turning 6 soon) is in a stage that makes me nervous - she is learning to express her emotions and she recently told me that she does not want to be called "beautiful" because it makes her embarrassed! I am sad because so far, she has had a lot of friends who are boys (and all boy cousins) and they have made "girly" things uncool to her. On our recent trip to Disney World, she wanted nothing to do with the princess stuff - and that is fine. But, a little sad because I think she truly likes it. She is the most nurturing, animal-loving, artistic, creative girl. We talk a lot about beauty on the inside and outside and how much God loves us...but a specific book on this would be what the doctor ordered, so to speak :)

The princess thing is new to me. My kids make jokes about being whomever's brother or sister since we're all the sons and daughters of God, but I've never thought to use the princess one on my only daughter. She'd love it and I think I would too! I've been racking my brain lately trying to think of some ways to improve the attitude she gets sometimes and this might do it!

I'm trying to make sure my princesses always consider others when making decisions. Nobody wants to wear a crooked crown because they can't keep their head on straight.

This would be perfect for my eight year old daughter. We recently found out we were going to have another baby. She was disappointed to find out that it is going to be ANOTHER brother. I had to explain to her that God always has a special plan and that she would be the only girl...the princess! I think that this book would just reinforce that! Keep up the good work Hannah and Co.

I have 3 little princess (one named Clara). I love teaching my girls about the Godly aspect of being a princess and not just the secular. A great tip is playing "Cinderella"... they must clean their room before playing getting to go to the ball.
