The Beginner’s Bible for Toddlers is the Bible that I chose for the 2 Year Curriculum.

Red Light, Green Light
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.

Learning the Books of the Bible
A few months ago, I felt compelled to add the New Testament Books of the Bible to the 4 Year ABCJLM curriculum. This lead to working on them with our own kiddos. I started working on them at meal time but found that I was forgetting in the mist of serving second helpings and cleaning up sticky fingers. So, I moved this ...
