There are some recipes that immediately spark a picture of a person in your mind. This recipe was Susan S's. I am so thankful for what this woman and her husband did for me as a young person. I credit so much of the ABCJLM website to things that I learned from Susan. Stew is a hardy meal that requires very little ...

Review: Ten in the Bed
Twin Sisters contacting me about review one of their products. I thought the kids would enjoy the book Ten in the Bed with Sing-Along Music CD. The story is based on the well known song - a number of "somethings" (in this case bears) are in a bed. The little one says, " Roll over." So, they all roll over and one falls ...
Review: My First Hands-On Bible
In the first few moments of holding this 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 night time 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 ...
Women of Faith Conference: Over the Top
As a mom of four kiddos...terrors...I mean blessings...I get tired. At the end of the day (sometimes the hour) my pitcher is dry. I have nothing left to pour out to others. Do you ever feel this way? And when I am dry, I am not the mom, wife, and friend that I desire to be. This is when God says, come sit with me. I will fill your pitcher - ...
Review: You Can’t Make Me (But I Can Be Persuaded)
It was a simple request really. "Move to the next lane. It is clear." Straight forward for most people. Unfortunately, I am not most people. Everything inside of me bowed up. I will move over when I am good and ready. And out of spite, I waited until the last moment to change lanes. You might be wondering what ...
Review: The Five Love Languages of Children
How do I love on my kiddos? How do they know that they are loved? These are things that really got me thinking one day. I remembered a book title that I have heard thrown around in conversations many times. I decided it was time for me to dig in and get to the bottom of my questions. The Five Love Languages of Children is a piggyback book of ...
Children with 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. They sum up Sensory Processing Disorder so well. Sensory processing—the ability to organize sensory information for use in daily life. [While studying ...
Sanity Saving Scripture (aka Memory Verse)
I have been so convicted about memorizing scripture. Psalms 119:11 says, "Thy Word have I hidden in my heart that I might not sin against you." Want to stay away from sin? Memorize scripture! After hearing from so many of you, I see that you also desire to do this but haven't had the motivation to move forward. So, I have added a ...
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 ...
Review: No Work Spanish
Two years of high school Spanish taught me very little. Working with students of limited English taught me a lot - it would be very helpful to know Spanish! When the review came up for "No-Work Spanish," I was curious. No-Work Spanish audiobooks are stories read with each sentence said first in English, then in Spanish. At the ...
