Training Your Child to Sleep In
Most of us realize the importance of having a quality quiet time with God. But because the enemy knows that it will change our lives, he does his best to make it not happen. Shelley left this question on our blog: How did you go about training your children to stay in their room til you come get them? I have a almost 3yr old ...
Create a Christmas Countdown Chain
A Christmas Countdown Chain is a fun activity to do with your kiddos for very little expense or effort.

Another Diagnosis Added to Our Plate: The Beginning

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 ...

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 ...
