Pin It Not longer after I finished the ABCJLM Bible Coloring Sheets Workbook, I received two coloring books in the mail from Zonderkidz. My heart fell thinking I had wasted all of my energy and resources for something that was available in mass production. The Beginner's Bible Super-Duper, Mighty, Jumbo Activity Book and Coloring ...

Helping Children Understand Big Numbers
Abraham was 100 years old when Issac was born. And, when an adult thinks about this, eyebrows go up and pity starts to flow. But for a child, 100 years may as well be 1000 because time is abstract. The 4 Year Curriculum uses the story of Abraham and Sarah to teach patience. To help the child understand how old 100 years is a ...
Toddler Time: How to Introduce and Include Repetition
While the majority of my posts focus on the preschool years, I want to begin including more Toddler and Elementary Age posts as well.

Do You Have Beautiful Feet?
When I was young, you would often find me with my Walkman, headphones, and a cassette tape. Often times I was listening to Sandi Patti and the Friendship Company. (Yes, I just dated myself.)

When done well and catered to our family's needs, priorities, and style, they are invaluable tools.

Craft: Stuffed Pumpkin
This is a simple idea that I came up with to create a pumpkin or jack-o-lantern for Halloween or Fall. Use it as decorations or as a craft. What's great about this craft is that a toddler can paint and assemble with a little help or an elementary child can do this craft on his own. Craft: Stuffed Pumpkin Paint a paper lunch bag ...
Review: She’s Got Issues
Pin It Ever been surrounded by a group of women who made you feel very put together? Their lives were in such shambles that you praised God that you weren't like them. Or what about the opposite, a group of ladies who all wore the June Cleaver facade? On the outside looking in, everything was perfect? Then there are those rare ...
