This is a repost from earlier this year but I needed the reminder so I wanted to share this again. I was mad. The fact that I was mad and not calm, made me even more mad. If I explained to you what Little Man has done over the past few days you wouldn't believe me. Then once you realized I was serious, you would probably sit down ...

I Don’t Have to Stress Because….
Pin It Friends, I have been under spiritual attack. Attack towards me as a wife, as a mother, and as the fingers behind ABCJLM. It has been mounting for a few weeks but it finally hit the top on Friday. Other than days in which I have been overcome with extreme grief, Friday was the worse non-grief day I have ever had. My attitude was ...
Natural Consequences
Pin It This is a repost from a Summer of 2009. Bubs is older now but we still use natural consequences to help our children learn the importance of obedience. I love natural consequences. I think allowing life to provide its own consequences is the best form of discipline. But using them with younger children can be difficult to ...
Scheduling Success: My Husband is to Be My Priority?
What I am about to tell you is something that I want you to "do what I say, not do what I do." In all honesty, my husband tends to get my leftovers. Between the children, house, and work, I am tired and each night my husband is handed a golden platter containing the few ounces of energy that I have left. Strike that. Each ...
Making a Toddler Talk
Can you make a toddler talk? Well it depends who you ask. But in the case of our little Peanut, I believe you can. Bubs was a slow talker. He ended up in speech because of it. Sweet Pea talked very early. Little Man was having conversations before some kiddos can walk. (Okay this is an exaggeration but not much of one!) Now Peanut ...

A corporate worship time was added to the program this year. Several of the songs used during this time were taken from the Party Time Sing & ...
An Update on Our Family
It is time for an update. Bubs Bubs is seven with a birthday just around the corner. He just finished 1st Grade and had a great teacher and year. It is crazy how the dynamics change now that he is home all day. This has created an adjustment for all of us. Sensory wise, Bubs continues to have very rough ...
It’s More About What They See
Little Man was asked by an adult how his week had been. Another question concerned how he was doing learning the Old Testament books of the Bible. Little Man explained that he can quote from Genesis to Lamentations right now. We have the second half left to learn. Then, he was asked if he has any Bible verses to ...

Creative Roads
Cars, roads, buildings, and bridges equals a child's play place, laughter, and fun! Transportation is one of the units in the 5 Year ABCJesusLovesMe Preschool Curriculum. So, Little Man, Sweet Pea, and I built a road system using painter's tape (do not use masking tape as it will leave a residue). With a basic figure-eight ...
