Accord to her book Raising Your Spirited Child, Mary Sheddy Kurcinka describes a spirited child as "more." I couldn't agree - well - more. I originally purchased this book because I thought Bubs was a spirited child. While a few things did prove to be true, Bubs didn't fit the overall picture of a spirited ...
Recipe: Morning Glory Muffins
Our neighbor brought these delicious muffins over as a house warming gift. We had left over shredded carrots so I thought I would give them a try. With apples, carrots, and raisins mixed with a little whole wheat flour, these muffins make a healthy snack. Plus, they are melt-in-your-mouth good! Mix together: 1 cup whole wheat flour 1 cup ...
A New Set of Challenges
Little Man is a challenge. At two, he could drive me to need professional help. Honestly, the problem is that he is too smart. He has the vocabulary and understanding of a child twice his age. But the impulse control of a 15 month old. No lie. In Colossians 3:21 it says: Fathers, do not exasperate your ...

One book that I recommend on the 3 Year Curriculum's Book of the Week is Five Little Ducks. Another great book is Ten Wriggly, Wiggly Caterpillars by Debbie Tarbett. I am not sure where my mom ...

I am always looking to expand our library with quality videos that echo the morals and values that we teach in our home. Adventures in Booga Booga ...
Pocket Card
This is the second card that we made. This craft can be used for a Mother's Day card, thank-you card, get-well soon card, or any other idea. Begin by cutting out two of the pockets using the template. Decorate. Glue along the sides and bottom edges. Place a note inside the pocket. For more card ...
Writing Negative Reviews
A sweet friend asked me if it was hard for me to write negative reviews about products? While 85% of the products that I review are wonderful, there are those few that I don't think make the grade. On one hand, a company has intrusted me with a product to increase their advertisement and sells. On the other hand, ...
