Let’s do some shocking math for a moment. If your family goes to church for three hours a week, that only accounts for 1.8% of your entire week.

How Chores Can Help Reduce Child Anxiety
Growing up on a farm, work was a significant part of my life. Whether it was loading livestock into the trailer, preserving vegetables from the garden, or cutting thistles when the grass was waist-high, there was always something to be done. It took everyone working together to stay on top of it. However, I believe that working together has many ...
Someone Like You: It May Surprise You {Giveaway}
I was skeptical, as many Christian films lack quality. The acting is typically subpar, and the storyline begs for depth.

Delight with Watercolor and Penmanship
While I acknowledge that the pandemic has been brutal for many families, I praise God for little blessings that social distancing has provided for our family.
