I love Thanksgiving. I love that it isn’t about presents, or functions, or even about decorating. It’s about looking back at a hard thing that people went through and celebrating God’s preservation of them… which ultimately was a preservation of our own country and way of life. It’s a time of stories – the true […] Read more…
“Missionary Mondays” is a weekly resource for parents. Each week will feature a missionary story that is designed to be read to young children. Also included is a prayer and corresponding activity. Enjoy! George Mueller Over a hundred years ago and on the other side of the world, in a place called London, lived a man who […] Read more…
I’m excited about starting something new and different. Something to remind us of the big love and grand sacrifice of men and women throughout history who gave all of their energies to the work of Christ. Just as professional athletes scrutinize and are inspired by the performance of the elite, so should believers look to […] Read more…
God, in His infinite wisdom and mercy, chose that I would exist in this specific moment of history. Who knows what all of His reasons are? But I think that I do know one of them… Movies. God knew how heavily I would rely on movies during the “little years” of parenting. He knew that […] Read more…

Here’s my latest homeschooling mountain I must tackle: What in the world do I do with my semi-interested-in-homeschooling 2-year-old while my 4-year-old works on his lesson? I want Mark (the little one) to be a part of mine and Rudy’s school time as much as possible, but I also need for him to be occupied! […] Read more…
Small, detailed finger-work lays the foundation for a toddler’s writing skills and hand-eye coordination. When your child performs a task that involves intricate finger movements, they are probably not only having fun, but also developing truly beneficial skills for the future! That is one reason why I love this number game so much. When I […] Read more…
It has been almost two years since I began my homeschooling journey with Rudy (now four years old). Over the past two years, my goals, plans, ideas, and strategies have been from one end of the rainbow to the other…in other words, I am figuring out this homeschooling thing as I go. I have had […] Read more…
I’m from the Deep South, so usually when I say “it’s cold outside”, it’s in the forties or fifties. But today I really, really mean it…it is freezing outside! That thermometer up above is accurate…early this morning it was 9 degrees! We literally do not own enough clothes to handle this weather. These extreme temperatures […] Read more…
Our curious little toddlers have a much more powerful mind than we often give them credit for! Did you know that a preschooler is capable of learning several languages at one time, simply by listening? I know that ship sailed for me a long time ago! So when it comes to games that stretch and […] Read more…
