Blogoversary Giveaway #2

Precious Girls Giveaway

My precious girl, Cassandra, has discovered a new love: The Precious Girls Club created by the brains behind Precious Moments.

The Precious Girls Club is more than a club - it's a way of thinking, acting, and living. PGC is dedicated to helping young girls discover how wonderful and fun it is to be precious.

For me, keeping my girls innocent and precious for as long as possible is a top priority. I have found that already in second grade, Cassandra is being faced with many adult situations; boyfriends just to name one; and Renee is faced with bullying. I am thrilled to find that at least one company is doing all they can to help me, as a single parent, keep my daughters free of these adult situations and innocent for as long as possible.

The generous people from Mom Select sent me an envelope of goodies to check out. My girls, Cassandra, 7; Renee, 9, love to read and the book, A Little Bit of Faith, quickly became a favorite. The book is the first book in the Precious Girls Series.

About the book:
A charming chapter book that tells the story of Katie Bennett and her friends and how the Precious Girls Club was inspired by "a little bit of Faith." 72 pages. It is a wonderfully inspirational story about a young girl, Katie, who overcomes her own fears with a little bit of faith and gains a lot in return. It teaches young girls that they are precious in God sight, that God created them special, and that He loves them just the way they are.

They also sent 4 paperback copies for me to giveaway here on my blog.

They also included Precious Girls Club Scratch Cards. The access codes included on the scratch cards (and books) will unlock a free month of premium Rainbow Club membership to access special content on the site, http://www.preciousgirlsclub.com/. Visitors to the site will be able to design their own virtual character and room, earn Precious Points towards virtual items, and take part in a variety of games and activities.

Premium Rainbow membership provides all of these same benefits, plus additional exclusive content and activities. Playing on the site is always free, but the access codes will unlock a free month of Premium Rainbow Club membership to access special content on the site. To continue the Premium Rainbow membership, you pay a small fee of $3.95 monthly. Best of all, $1.00 of your monthly $3.95 membership fee goes directly to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
