Guest Post by Tauna: Our preschool co-op is three mommies who rotate teaching and hosting responsibilities. It's really fantastic. Last week, I was assigned the story of when Jesus forgives the adulterous woman. I looked through AAALLLL my children's Bibles and similar resources and found exactly zero representations of that story. It's ...

Children Who Interrupt
Pin It Look at the couple above. This picture puts a smile on my face...and a little jealousy in my heart. They look so relaxed and appear to really enjoy each others company. They are having quality conversation and no interruption. Sounds marvelous, doesn't it? In the last few weeks we have talked at great length about the importance ...
You Are Being Watched!!
Pin It God is showing my husband and I - in so many ways - the importance of how we act while our children are around. Because, we all know that values are caught and not as much taught. While reading during my quiet time, I found these verses in I Timothy 4: 11 Teach these things and insist that everyone learn them. 12 Don’t let ...
Scheduling Success: “Me” Replenishing Time
In our Scheduling Success series, we have discussed the need for God to be first, followed by our husbands. Our children should come next but often get the shaft by the amount of activities and mommy responsibilities that we hold. Returning to my "biblical answer" from the beginning of this series, next would be my friends and work. Because, as ...

Does God Really Say My Husband is to Be My Top Priority?

We discussed priorities and the need for daily time with God and the importance of spending quality time with our husband. An ABCJLM friend left this question on one of the posts last week: Is Genesis 2:24 the only scripture that indicates our ...
Scheduling Success: Does Your Schedule Match Your Priorities

Homework Assignment for You – Do You Dare?

She must be crazy if she thinks that I can sit down for five minutes to do something that isn't required! But what if I tell you that this little homework assignment will change your life? Are you interested now? As you ...
It Rears Its Ugly Head Yet Again
Here it is 6:15 Thursday morning and I don't have a blog post written for today. I typically have them written days if not weeks in advance. Today...nothing. But, I think God did this on purpose because He wanted me to share what is on my heart. To give you another glimpse into our family. And for some of you, to give us one ...
How to “Do” School with Your Child
Imagine this with me. A mom and child are neatly dressed sitting at the table looking at school books. The child is happily gleaning from the mom's wisdom and desires to learn. There are no distractions in the background and the kitchen table is obviously neatly wiped down. I would wager that the statement right before we enter this scene was ...
