With Taming the Laundry Giant and Yummy, Delicious Granola Bar Recipe posts last week, I am on a homey kick right now! Think it is the perfect time to share my sewing post as well. Having three active boys, I see jeans deteriorate right before my eyes. It seems in one split second jeans move from the "good" to "play" ...

Guest Post: The Red Crayons of Life
source Ever develop a full-proof plan to make each day go smoother only to have inconveniences pop up at every turn?

Are You Giving Your Children the Ultimate Gift?
source In my mind there are three main aspects of parenting. The first is the theme of this blog - impressing upon our children a God who loves them and asks them to love Him in return. Laying a foundation for them to love God with all of their heart, soul, and mind. The second is financial wisdom. We continue to use the Money Management ...
How to Make File Folder Games
Before ABCJLM was even a thought in my mind, I created File Folder Games for Bubs.

Are You Connected?
Can I take a moment to tell you how excited I am about 2015? Call me crazy but I am pumped to see what God has in store for us. The good. The bad. The ugly. I know that if our anchor is secure in Him we will look back on 2015 as a time of growth. I have begun writing the first ...

No Pressure or Stress Thanksgiving Ideas
I have a confession to make. We have part of our Christmas decorations up. It's true. And if truth be known we put up the tree because we had a free weekend, not necessarily because we wanted it up in the middle of November. The future wasn't looking like it would lend us a chunk of time to get it done before our annual Christmas Neighborhood ...
