Thank you for holding a contest! What fun. I would be most interested in listening to "How to Involve the Whole Family in Family Worship", "How to Involve the Whole Family in Hospitality", and "How to Make Mealtime Meaningful", (and others).

They all sound like great topics but the one I would pick right off the bat is "How to pick the best locations for family vacations."
Thanks for hosting this give away. I'm glad your mom can't enter this one, because I know with her talent for winning contests, I wouldn't stand a chance. :)

How fun! Thanks for the opportunity with this giveaway. :)
I love all of the topics but I think the one I'm needing to hear at the moment is: How to Encourage Femininity in Daughters. I have two "tomboys" who I would love to encourage towards femininity. :)

Hummm, there are many interesting topics on the list. I think I would like to hear How to Cultivate a Love for Meaningful Poetry and Why This is Important. I agree with Victoria, I am sure glad Deb can't enter...she wins EVERYTHING!! LOL

What a great opportunity to win this series! I would pick either "How to Take Children Safely Through an Airport" or "How to Address the Plague of “Jive Talk” in Your Home." Thanks for offering it, Hannah!

Well, they all look good but I'd really like to hear the one about cultivating a love of meaningful poetry and then preparing your child for the symphony.

This is such a wonderful giveaway, whom ever wins will really be blessed! I would love to know how the Phillips will discuss "jive" talk and getting through the airport. I hear a lot of "yeah's" rather than "yes" and it drive me up the wall. Also we have not traveled in a while becasue of the TSA regulations.
Thank you!

Hi,
I would like to be entered for the give away. The topic I think I would like the best is how to encourage femininity in girls and masculinity in boys. It is hard to pick with so many great topics though.

What a wonderful giveaway! I think all the topics are really good, but the topic of poetry really interest me. I need to bring that more into our homeschooling.

First off...what a wonderful giveaway. Thanks so much. Secondly...I am surprised at the answers! I'm not sure what I expected...just not those answers. Oh well.
My favorite topic...one I have been trying to find the answer to for years...is How to Involve the Whole Family in Family Worship. Our childrens' ages are 10-24 and it's always hard to make family worship easy enough for the youngest but challenging enough for the oldest.
Thanks again!

My favorite topic to hear would be the one on Mealtime! I interested in being able to maximize on all our together time, and...well...everyone eats so we'd have a captive audience:)

"How to Prepare Your Children to Listen to a Symphony."
I just wrote a guide similar to this for a family in my church. I play the clarinet in the East Texas Symphonic Band and invited this family to our most recent concert. To help them "listen with understanding," I wrote a guide to the concert for them.
--But I'd like to see how the Phillips family prepares for a symphony.

my most desired one(s) would be the two sided coin.. instilling masculinity in boys and femininity in girls. Can't do one without understanding the other... and I'm certain the Phillips will treat them both well.
thanks for the opportunity to enter....

This is a wonderful opportunity, thank you! I am interested in all of their topics, but close to home would be sibling rivalry as it has effected two of our children for many years.

Would love to hear How to Use Household Decorations to Teach Character! But, wow-there are so many other great topics too! Thanks for the giveaway!
Posted by: Heather T. | Sunday, February 27, 2011 at 11:04 AM
