It’s cabin fever time of year. These last few weeks of winter seem to linger, keeping everyone cooped up inside, avoiding the cold air and the muddy, slushy mess that’s left behind by melting snow. It’s been a while since I’ve had young children to care for. But when I saw the weary sigh of… View more
I’m excited to introduce a brand new edition of the nature scripture scavenger hunt for you and your family to enjoy together! Spring’s been acting like a weekend teenager here in Michigan this year: It seems she wants to sleep in a little bit this year! We’ve endured some late-season snow and send unseasonably cool… View more
With Valentine’s right around the corner, I thought it’d be fun to share a little “love gift” with these brand-new printable Scripture Cards! I put these fun little designs together when our church youth director asked me if I could create some cards to tuck into little Valentines’ gifts for the teens in our youth… View more
What’s your “new normal” looking like these days? It’s a phrase I’ve been hearing a lot lately as stay-at-home restrictions have gradually lifted and we’re figuring out how to live amidst a pandemic. For me, nothing has felt very normal for three months now. That structured, daily schedule I used to enjoy has tumbled into… View more
This has been one of the craziest weeks of my life. Hunkering down at home. Attempting to do a little schoolwork and keep a semblance of a schedule in play. Trying to work with several new “coworkers” around (aka. tween/teen who turn every room they enter into a disaster area). There’s plenty of humorous posts… View more
I’m excited to share another free printable with your today. And it’s just in time for celebrating Valentine’s Day with your kids! Ever since posting my “Choose Your Own Adventure” Bible Reading Plan for kids, I’ve heard great feedback about it and requests for more kids’ Bible reading plans. Well, I listened! And now I’m… View more
Sometimes I get a little carried away, friends. I recently created a floral “Thankful” garland and shared it as a free printable here on the blog. (I actually made two, because I couldn’t decide between two lovely color options!) It was a pretty, early-fall day as I put that little project together, and I must’ve… View more
“Mom, can I get this?” My daughter holds a cheap, unicorn-shaped purse in her hands—a little treasure she’s discovered at the craft store, where I’m trying to find supplies for a classroom party. “Nope,” I reply with a quick glance at the price. “Did you bring $10 along to pay for it?” I know she… View more
Does anyone else have a Bible stashed with random papers? Handouts from old Bible studies, encouraging notes from friends, thought-provoking quotes scribbled on index cards–these are just a few of the items that have been tucked into the back of my Bible over the years. Over the years, many different items have rotated their… View more
On a recent trip to Washington DC, I spent an afternoon taking in the sights of our nation’s capital. As I walked the streets, I thought about the power players at work all around me. Congressional leaders hashing out legislative deals. Lobbyists strategizing their agendas. Countless bureaucrats working in the federal agencies that keep our government machinery… View more
