It's something that God has been laying on my heart a little at a time. As ABCJLM has expanded I have received more requests. The problem is that I am not sure what it is supposed to look like.

Recipe: Parmesan Bites
Approximately four times a year, I make the meal for our Community Group gathering. We each take turns preparing supper for the group before we dig into the Word and pray together. It's not a huge group but 10 adults can put down some grub. Beyond that, I enjoy blessing hurting and struggling families with meals. I am always ...

Easter Ideas for Families

But Easter is a tough holiday to explain to children. Between the Easter bunny, loads of candy, and Easter egg hunts, ...

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

My precious Bubs, Sweet Pea, Little Man, and Peanut: I can't express the joy that I have from being your Mommy. I thank God daily for the little smiles, hugs, and ...
