Keys of the Kingdom is the fourth computer game produced by Left Behind Games that I am reviewing. Unlike the Charlie Church Mouse games, this CD-Rom is rated for everyone and contains a series of brain teasers. Each of the 100 levels progressively get harder. The games are set around the premise of castles, a king, and Sir ...
Elementary Age
Review: Charlie Church Mouse Early-Elementary Computer Game
The Charlie Church Mouse Early Elementary CD-Rom is the third in my reviews of Inspired Media Games. Just as with the Preschool and Kindergarten versions, I love the elementary one. The Elementary activities are geared toward kids ages 6-8. There are six Bible stories included on this CD-Rom. - Daniel and the Lion's Den - ...
What the First Week of Kindergarten Taught Me
Last week was Bubs' first full week of Kindergarten. To say that he was exhausted would be an understatement. So say that he loves Kindergarten would be another understatement. Looking back over this week, I have been thinking about how I did on preparing Bubs for this huge step in his life. Is there something that I ...
Books to Prepare for Kindergarten
Thankfully you can find books on about any topic - especially for those situations in your child's life that are new, different, or difficult. Bubs has received several Kindergarten books to help him make the transition. Here are four books that we have enjoyed reading. The Kissing Hand My mom found this book and sent it to Bubs.

This happened with ...

As far as I know, every state has a cutoff birth date for children to begin kindergarten. The states I am familiar with place their cutoffs in August or September, ...
Certificate of Adoption
Bubs is coming upon the 1 year anniversary that he decided to give his life to Jesus. He knew that he was a sinner and needed forgiveness. There is no greater celebration than when a sinner comes to Jesus! I was wanting to hang something on the wall to remember this wonderful day. I found the idea of a certificate in the ...
Review: Hands-On Bible
Bubs is starting to outgrow his current Bible. Although I feel he still gets a lot out of reading the The Beginner's Bible: Timeless Children's Stories, now that he is six, I think it is time to move him to the next level. Tyndale has just updated the Hands-On Bible. I currently am reading through the New Living Translation in my own quiet time ...
Early Intervention
A sweet Mom emailed me concerning her child and using the ABC Jesus Loves Me curriculum. I appreciated so much her desire to do what is best for her son. She reminded me of a blog that I need to do! I believe whole hardily in two things - Early Intervention and not sending kids to Kindergarten just because they meet the cutoff date. These things ...
