Now That’s Thinking…
At dinner time a few days ago Bubs told us his master plan of how he was going to purchase a new Wii game. He had played the new Mario Brothers game with his Uncle and Aunt and really liked it. (Actually Mommy and Daddy had fun too!) In detail, he explained how he was going to have all of these games laid out (kind of the carnival concept). He ...
A Must Have for Lunches
Our kiddos attend a Mother's Day Out program at our church once a week for 5 hours. This is the time that I plan my doctor appts, dentist, meetings, etc. It is a lifesaver for me plus I feel it is important for my kids to have a break from me. They are loved on by others while hearing the same love of Jesus we talk about at home. We are a part ...
Review: God, I Need To Talk to You

Handheld Shower
Ya know...it is the little things in life. For me it is a hand shower. I asked my husband why we didn't get this thing 5 years ago when Bubs was born! Seriously!! I LOVE to give the kids a shower. No more bending over! I know. Pretty sad. A few years ago while visiting our neighbors, Sweet Pea had one of "those" diapers. I came in and ...

FAQ: Beginning ABCJLM Mid-Year
One of the most frequently asked questions that I receive is the one about starting the ABCJLM curriculum in the middle of the year. I wanted to cover this topic as I know several people are looking for a preschool curriculum to begin in January. All four of the ABCJesusLovesMe Curricula are created to be flexible. Although they are designed to ...
Swimming in the Winter
During this Christmas season, it is easy to lose sight of the precious little time that we have with our little ones. We get wrapped up in the busyness and forget about the blessings running around underfoot. Last night, I declared "Girls' Night." After supper, Sweet Pea and I headed behind closed doors and spent some quality time together. We ...
