Easter is a pretty big deal at ABC Jesus Loves Me. Honestly, between Christmas (the birth of our Savior) and Easter (the death, burial, and resurrection of our Savior) what could be more important? But Easter is a tough holiday to explain to children. Between the Easter bunny, loads of candy, and Easter egg hunts, ...

May I Take a Moment to Encourage You?
At age four, he wants what he wants and he is willing to fight for it. He wants to make sure that throwing himself on the floor won't give him the desires of his heart. It's an experiment that isn't working for him but he is trying...just to make sure the boundaries are firm. But Peanut isn't alone. All of our kiddos have ...
Dear Kiddos…Words of Love, From Your Mommy

Just as I want to provide them with healthy meals throughout the day, I want them to have wholesome snacks too. One of our favorites is granola bars. Knowing that I could make them much cheaper than the boxed versions from the ...
How to Tame the Laundry Giant
I fought the laundry and the laundry won... I fought the laundry and the laundry won. And that was the song that I sang every week. Laundry was the enemy. I was emerging from each battle more bruised and battered. Typically I could get the clothes in the washer (that's the easy part) but the clothes sat on the cabinet or in baskets for several ...
