The Look and Tell Bible

This month I received a copy of The Look and Tell Bible from Tommy Nelson. The title is a little misleading. This isn’t a Bible. This is a book of Bible stories that have been simplified for little ones. I adore adding new board books to our collection. At various times through the day, it’s just helpful to have a…

I Believe in Jesus

By John MacArthur

I Believe in Jesus (Leading Your Child to Christ), arrived at my home this month. It happens that we are busy preparing for our new homeschooling year. Paul and I usually tweak schedules, and create a list of goals and expectations we have for our family. Always, our goal is to continue to teach faith to our children. We want…

After A Long Silence-

Tracy with Toby

After a long silence, I’m trying to fit in time to update my blog. Seasons are passing so quickly for me these days. (Don’t they always?) The new baby (my precious Toby), is now three months old. Courtney is in a courtship. He has been with us each day, the entire last month. I like him a whole lot. He…

Book Review: I Can Learn to Pray

Do you find yourself praying through the day? I have noticed it is a habit I have formed in recent years. I’ve also tried to start making it a habit to pray immediately with my children when they come to me with a problem. I want to make sure they know that the first place we should turn when we…

Book Review: Really Woolly Good Night, God

I adore these Really Woolly characters! I’ve reviewed a book for them before, and was excited to receive another this month: Really Woolly Good Night, God. As I read through the pages, each selection echoed what I have been sharing with my own children- it’s important to look around you all the time, and realize you have much for which…

Book Review: Night Night, Daddy and Night Night, Mommy

As I prepare for the newest member of our family to arrive in just a little over a week, I’ve been contemplating how to spend my recovery time. Bedtime reading is a particularly relaxing and sweet part of the day since the business of the day is over and we are preparing to rest. While nursing and snuggling a tiny…

Book Review: Pitchin A Fit

I have been a fan of Israel and Brook Wayne for some time. Though we have never met, I have watched across the internet as they teach parents to examine their actions and realign them with a Biblical worldview. It has really caused me to question so many decisions and actions in my own life. How do they measure against…

Book Review: Good Night, Little Love!

February is always a sweet month around our house. Valentine’s Day just lends itself to teaching my children about love, and especially about God’s love. We try to do things that focus on love all month. It is always my desire that it would plant seeds in the hearts of my children that would one day sprout and grow, as…

Book Review: I Will Follow Jesus Bible Storybook

Each night we gather together for family devotions, (or at least we try!) and a time of prayer. These things are part of our evening routine. While we do read from our Bible, I enjoy having a devotional book to follow with my children. Honestly, while Paul has no problems leading our family time, I find it challenging sometimes. It…

Tracy / January 23, 2016

This video was taken last night at our local Chamber of Commerce annual meeting. Joshua was asked to be the speaker and to share his latest community project, ject, Bibb County Prays. Paul and I could not be more proud of the work he and his wife are doing in our county. We are thankful to the Lord for His…

4H Animal Science Quiz Bowl/Skill-A-Thon 2016

Tracy / January 12, 2016

It has been MONTHS since I’ve had time to do much blogging. Paul’s new job position, the holidays, baby preparations, and LOTS of illness in our home in recent months have made it almost impossible to sit down to catch up on our family blog. I’m going to try and catch things up a little at a time. One of…

Book Review: Jesus Calling

Tracy / December 30, 2015

Jesus Calling: Enjoying Peace in His Presencewas another of my selections this month for Tommy Nelson. I received both the original book and the companion devotional meant for children: Both books are beautifully hardbound. With a dedication page and satin bookmark, they would make a lovely gift. Each book is divided by days and contains one short reading (short enough…
