Literally it was like a softball hit me in the forehead. train Immediately this verse came to mind. Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. Then like a ...

Review: Learning
If you have read my last few reviews on Karen Kingsbury's super famous Baxter Family series, you will remember that I wasn't thrilled with the end to the Above the Line Series.

It was one of those moments that I was so proud of my child. Little Man obeyed. This time, I wasn't the only person to witness it. A man in a suit did a double take and then made a comment. Little Man and I have this game after church. He runs a little ways ahead until I stay stop. Go....Stop! He freezes ...

Only One Color at a Time
A friend called me on the phone a couple of years ago excited about a new art book she had just found. I loved the review she gave it and picked it up myself.
