Smile for 60 seconds. Hey, smiles fit the topic of this blog. I like smiling. Smiling's my favorite.

Can you name that movie? First correct answer in the comments wins a hearty round of applause.

cross-posted from Life in a Shoe, because it applies here too. Just out of curiosity, is there anybody who reads this blog and does not read my other one?

I've noticed a lot of visitors find my blog by searching for CBD coupon codes. Yes, I'm nosy like that. I like to check my stats frequently and I try to keep a current coupon code in my sidebar.
I'm also more than happy to help y'all use those coupon codes. I'm helpful like that. I'm just an all-around nice person, right?
Here are a few of our favorites to help you fill your shopping cart. Most or all of these are items that we own and use regularly.
All are chosen not just for quality but also for value; although Christian Book Distributors strongly discourages posting prices, I will say that I consider each of the items below to be an extraordinary value!

Bible/reference

• KJV narrated by Alexander Scourby on 62 CDs
  - Mr. Scourby has the incredible ability to make the old KJ sound new and fresh and perfectly comprehensible.
• NKJV narrated by Stephen Johnston on 2 CDs in MP3 format - If you have trouble keeping track of 62 CDs, try keeping track of just 2. The price is much nicer too; about the price of a single CD.
• ESV Reformation Study Bible - not cheap but the notes and commentary are well worth the price! Try it in hardback for durability or leather for classic beauty. Each of our 4 oldest has one of these now.
  
• Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible--with CD-ROM - if I had to choose just one reference for Bible study, this would be it. No question about it.
• Matthew Henry's Commentary - the first set of commentaries that Hubby and I ever bought, and the one that my dad always sent me to when I had a question for him.
  

School/educational

• Mystery of History, Volume 1
• Bob Books
  
• Timechart of Biblical History - this is a definite WOW! An incredible reference tool that everyone will love for a price that can't be beat. I consider this a must-have for homeschoolers.
• Spectrum Math - my math program of choice for the younger set. Cheap and thoroughly adequate without being overwhelming for either mom or student.
  
• Saxon Math - not cheap, but non-consumable and highly recommended
• COFA: Childhood of Famous Americans series - our children have loved each of these titles and are highly motivated to learn more about each famous person's life.
• Kent Hovind's 7 DVD Creation Series - entertaining and informative lectures on Creation science with great appeal for the whole family!
  

Fiction, fun & games

• The Chronicles of Narnia, Limited Edition: Focus on the Family Radio Theatre - Audiodrama on CD - This is only very slightly abridged and extremely well done. Perfect for keeping the whole family entranced on a long road trip! 19 CDs, about 21 hours if my memory serves correctly. But don't take my word for it, because my memory rarely serves.
  
• SET: The Family Game of Visual Perception: How many games give a young child a fighting chance when playing with an adult without relying entirely upon "luck"? We have owned and loved Set for many years. An added bonus: the manufacturer replaces individual cards for next-to-nothing. Very handy in a game that is sure to be loved by the entire family!
  
• Gears!Gears!Gears!- the noise drove me to get rid of these when we moved into The Shoe, but the girls still look back on them with fondness. We'll have to get more someday, when I experience another bout of temporary insanity. You might be insane if you buy these, but your kids will love you forever.
  

Music

• Go to the Ant by Judy Rogers
• Celtic Hymns, 3-CD Set
  
• Gifts: 50 Beautiful Mandolin Favorites, 3 CD Set
• How Sweet The Sound: 50 Violin Hymns, 3 CD Set
  
• Sing Unto The Lord: The Psalms of David for Daily Living, 3-CD Set
  
• Music bargains: more 3-CD boxed sets for less than the price of a single CD

Disclaimer:
If you rent videos, you know that nearly every store has some trashy movies, many of them major motion pictures approved by the masses. You've probably wanted to cover your children's eyes as you passed some of the displays. You may even have covered your own eyes. But they have plenty of treasures too if you choose to give them your business. It's a tough call.

Moving on:
If you rent videos and you don't have the Blockbuster Total Access membership yet, you don't know what you're missing!
Like Netflix, you can set up a queue online, choosing from a mind-boggling assortment. As with Netflix, you get a postage-paid envelope to return videos, and new ones are shipped to you as soon as they receive the latest from you.
But with Blockbuster Total Access, it gets even better. You can opt to return your videos to a brick & mortar store! And when you do that, you can choose to exchange them right then and there for new videos of your choice or leave empty-handed and your next round of movies from your online queue will be shipped out immediately.

There are several plans available. We like the plan that lets us keep 2 movies out at a time.

BLOCKBUSTER Total Access

$14.99 / month (plus taxes)
2 at-a-time, unlimited
+1 FREE bonus Movie or Game Rental E-Coupon / Month

For less than the price of 1 new release rental/week, we can cycle through pairs of movies as quickly as we want, returning them in-store when it's convenient and mailing them for free when we find that simpler. Other plans range from $9.99 for one at a time, to $23.99/month for 4 videos at a time.
Get it straight from the horse's mouth.
