Pin It Have you check out the ABCJLM Facebook Group lately? If not, you are missing out on a lot of wisdom! "Tina" shared some fabulous ways to incorporate the objectives of the ABCJLM Curriculum into a day with her grandson. I wanted to share her ideas because the suggestions are so simple yet so profound. Below are some of her main points. I ...
Day to Day
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 ...
Encouraging Verses for Women
On Wednesday, I shared encouragement from the Scriptures. In return, you shared your go-to verses with me. I wanted to compile some of the verses that you gave me (thank you!) so that we can all easily find, memorize, or share these verses with other women in our lives. You may even want to pin (button above) or share (buttons ...
Scheduling Your Day
When I say that I am Type A, I might as well just hand over my schedule because you know behind every Type A personality is a detailed plan. But let's face it; our house runs much smoother when I have a plan and follow it. In the What Do YOU Want? post several of you have asked for ideas to help you plan your day. ...
Flick Him Off
Two weeks ago, we were thrown a curveball. It began with the words, "severe delay." Once again, we heard that Bubs was months behind in development. A fact that takes the breath out of this momma. In January, I began to see some red flags concerning Bubs' reading and spelling. After talking to his teacher, we buckled down at home ...

Spin a Chore
For some reason in our home, the kids prefer to do a job at 80% instead of doing the job correctly. Not really sure why but they do. Here's an example...instead of putting the toy in the room, on the shelf where it belongs, the children place the toy in the doorway of the room. I believe the extra three steps to finish the job ...
Hanging Art Projects
So your child just painted a masterpiece. Paint is all over the table, chair, and child. How do you keep the stickiness from getting on more things while drying? Since we do most of our craft projects in the laundry room, I had the idea to use clip clothes hangers to hang our craft papers to dry. Eureka! Since air is ...
