Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Deuteronomy 6:7

Kindergarten Readiness

Kindergarten

The response to my blog about Kindergarten Readiness has been overwhelming!  I truly understand the indecision that parents face.  From your responses, I wanted to address three additional points which I have added to the post. "All of my child's friends are going to Kindergarten." - This is a statement that I hear a lot. This happened with ...

Is Your Child Ready for Kindergarten?

08/04/2010 by Heidi

Children's hands painted

This is a question that I am very passionate about. What is your opinion about sending kids to kindergarten who have summer birthdays (or those who are close to the cutoff date)? As far as I know, every state has a cutoff birth date for children to begin kindergarten. The states I am familiar with place their cutoffs in August or September, ...

Happy #1 Spiritual Birthday Bubs

07/26/2010 by Heidi

A year ago today, Bubs declared to his Daddy that he wanted to ask Jesus to come live in His heart. He realized that he makes bad choices and needed Jesus to forgive him and help him live a life that would please Jesus. He proudly told many friends and family about his decision. These past 365 days haven't been filled with perfection. Just like ...

12 Hours of Refueling

07/14/2010 by Heidi

Girl in her bedroom.

When I first heard this from another mom, I was shocked.  At that time we had one child and he was still pretty young.  We all know that babies require a lot of sleep.  But toddlers and even preschoolers?  Wasn't this a little excessive. Then we implemented it.  We won't turn back!  It is true. Our kids' bedtime is 7:00.  They are not allowed ...

Thank You…

06/29/2010 by Heidi

For the past six months, I have been working on the ABCJLM curriculum to get it ready to print in book form.  But I have not been alone in this endeavor.  So if you will allow me, I want to take a moment to thank some very special people for blessing, loving, and supporting me through this time. Tina and Raquel - Thank you, girls, for all of the ...

It’s Here!!

06/29/2010 by Heidi

After coming up empty handed in my own search, I created a preschool curriculum for Bubs.  Under the suggestion of my husband, I decided to make the curriculum available for free to everyone and ABC Jesus Loves Me was born.  The response has been nothing but overwhelming.  I am honored and humbled that God has allowed me to be part of this ...

Visual Perception Activities

06/06/2010 by Heidi

Pin It Today, Bubs and I braved the elements to attend his vision therapy screening. Going into the appointment I didn't know if I should be praying that he has a vision problem or not.  If the learning difficulties were visual then the issue could be fix with glasses. Seemed like an easy fix to me. But if the problem was not visual, then we had ...

Clarification to Mr. Rosemond

06/04/2010 by Heidi

woman on a laptop computer

After a question and comment, I wanted to clarify my stance with Mr. Rosemond.  I have only reviewed one of his books so I base my stance on The Well-Behaved Child and this weeks article refuting SPD. I typically follow a very no-nonsense approach to discipline.  You did it, you were wrong, here are the consequences.  Thus, I have no trouble ...
