There are three things that I ask everyone who uses the ABCJLM curriculum and website to do: Pray for this ministry Tell others Let me know your thoughts, suggestions, questions, comments, concerns, criticisms! These are vital to this ministry. Two ladies are blessing me and you. Their behinds-the-scenes work is making the ABCJLM curriculum ...
Oops Recipe – Yummy!
Bubble Rolls were supposed to be the recipe to serve our company for breakfast the next morning. It is one of the easiest and most delicious breakfasts you can make. While I don't typically keep premade foods in my pantry and freezer, Rhodes Rolls is one item that I do keep for those unexpected times when I need something yummy and ...

If you are following the curriculum by date, this is week 9 - review week - of the ABC Jesus Loves Me curriculum. I wanted to give an update on how it is going for our family.

The Runaway Pumpkin
Runaway Pumpkin is a great Halloween book. Although secular, Bubs and I were in stitches as we read this fun rhyming book about a large pumpkin that rolls away and creates havoc across the countryside. A fun read that will leave everyone with a smile during the Halloween season. ...

God’s Concerns
This week, I am focusing on the "home" aspect of being a wife and mom. The struggle to get it all done while still focusing on those that are important. I cut this out from an unknown source while I was in college. I have tweaked it for moms. God is not concerned with how clean my floor is, how many dishes are on the ...
No In Between
With our Spirited Little Man, there is no in between. He is either amazingly angelic or frustratingly tasmanian. I will use potty training as an example. Basically, I can say that Little Man is potty trained. We started a month before his second birthday. I understand that he is a boy and boys ...
A Frustrated Momma
In my week-long posts about the Spirited Child, I find the most frustrated factor is that these kids wear you down. Whether you are consistent or not...the spirited child is. Consistent at making over-the-top choices, that is. Doing those things that you have told them over and over and over not to do. Little Man has ...

Her grandma told her: You can either bandaid the problem or fix the problem. When life as a mommy kicked in, my friend ...
