Wordless Book Easter Ideas
The Wordless Book can be a wonderful addition to Easter activities. It is simple enough for preschoolers to understand but yet great for an adult audience as well. The 3, 4, and 5 Year Curriculum all cover the Wordless Book on Week 35. I have combined the ideas on one page - Wordless Book Ideas and Story. See craft ideas, recipes, songs, and ...
Craft: Toilet Paper Roll Spider
Craft: Toilet Paper Roll Spider Cute, in a spider kind of way! At least that's what my daughter and I decided when we created him. Staple one end of the toilet paper roll together. Wrap the TP roll in black construction paper. Cut four tiny triangles along the each side of the TP roll directly across from the ...
Review: Loving by Karen Kingsbury
I knew it was in route to me through the postal service. But I didn't know exactly when it would come. Couldn't have been a better time. Nap time for my kiddos had just started and I needed a break. A break from reality. A little "candy," as my friend calls it. That is exactly what the ever so popular ...
Are You Busy Being Busy
Pinterest is filled with it. Blogs thrive on it. DIY and HGTV programs survive on it. Any ideas what this might be? Busyness. We as women beg for busy projects. Something to fill our time and make us feel productive. But don't worry. We are saving so much money in the process. So, it is ...

Capris: To Wear or Not to Wear & How to Wear

This means that I can no longer hide behind jeans and long sleeve shirts either. Out come the capris! But can everyone wear capris? Do capris ...

Review: When the Hurt Runs Deep
For the past few weeks, at 5:30 in the morning Kay Arthur and I have been meeting with the Lord. This is after I have rubbed the sleepy dirt away and done a few things to wake myself up a little bit. Then I turn on the lights and begin my quiet time with the Lord. In reality, Kay isn't physically with me. But as I use her devotionals to guide ...
Review: Character DVD’s
As I have stated several times, we watch very little TV. So when we do watch something, it is a treat and I want to make sure that what the kids watch is character building and educational. I am always looking for something that reinforces what we are teaching at home. A few years ago, Alpha Omega Publishers released an animated ...
