Review: My First Hands-On Bible
In the first few moments of holding the My First Hands-On Bible, I knew that I had just found my Bible of choice for the 5 Year Curriculum. My husband knew he had just found a Bible for nighttime devos with the kids. If this title rings a bell, just a year ago I reviewed the bigger brother to this Bible - Hands-On Bible NLT. I really liked ...
What is Sensory Processing Disorder?
While surfing for some info, I came upon the official website of the book The Out-of-Sync Child. While reading the "Introduction" page, I found some great thoughts that I want to share with you.

What’s in a Name?: Our Out-of-Sync Life
Although I don't understand 95% of Shakespeare, I do remember a few lines from his famous plays. Here is a line said by Juliet in the play Romeo and Juliet: "What's in a name? That which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet." While I see both sides of this concept, I believe that it is very important when naming things. With ...
Confessions of a Grieving Girl
Eleven years. Can it really be that long ago that my life was severed in half? With. Without. While my heart fights to believe the truth, my head reminds me of the facts.

Recipe: Bread Machine Whole Wheat Bread
I have two favorite smells in life. The smell of a freshly bathed baby. Be still my heart. The second favorite smell is homemade bread baking in the oven. Delicious. While it might be cool to say that I make several loaves a week by mixing and kneading, I would be lying. I haven't kneaded bread for quite some time. But making several ...
4-H – So Much More than Sheep, Cows, and Farmers
Everyone has an organization that they want their children to join when they reach the age. Brownies, Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, Little League, Dance, Gymnastics, AWANA's...The list goes on. For me, it is 4-H. I have wanted our children to be a part of a club before they were born. Now that Bubs is officially a member, I see the benefits even ...
Review: The Beginning Reader’s Bible
We have used The Beginner's Bible for many years with our children. After reading through it multiple times, Daddy was excited to see that I had a new Bible to review. He began immediately using the The Beginning Reader's Bible with our children for Bible devotions. This children's Bible is a sturdy, hardcover book sized 9"x10". A red ribbon ...
Holes in My Discipline
Last Tuesday, I asked the questions: Is there something that I am doing to encourage his bad choices? Are there holes in the boundaries that I have set up? I continue to seek answers because I believe that children can only behave as well as the boundaries that surround them. And boundaries look different for every child. My boundaries are ...
