4H is a whole new world for my family. In the past, we tried 4H and never could really get a program started. Now, we’re part of a thriving 4H community and my children are involved in all sorts of wonderful learning adventures. Our first project was the 4H chick chain. It involved raising chicks to full-grown hens. In the…

Book Review: NKJV Study Bible for Kids
This has been a year of replacing Bibles in our family. Courtney’s Bible literally has entire books falling out of the binding. My little ones have either outgrown the version we originally purchased, or the book is just completely worn out. Needless to say, we’ve been shopping around to replace them. It’s been interesting to look through the many different…

Book Review: Read Me a Bible Story 365
Our evening devotions are one of my favorite times of the day. It’s that time when we can sit and snuggle in the living room. Daddy most often reads from the Bible or one of our family devotional books. We listen and ask questions. It is a time to share concerns and prayer requests. The house begins to wind down…

Book Review: God Bless Our Fall
Do you have plans for fall? Each year, I have HUGE plans for fall. They don’t always work out, but if I have some kind of plan, it does seem that we get more done. Fall makes me want to bake yummy things, find fall activities to do with my children, and sit back to experience a beautiful new season,…
Book Review: God’s Good News (Devotions from Billy Graham)
My first review book this month for Tommy Nelson is God’s Good News Bible Storybook. I grew up watching Billy Graham on TV. It seemed that most of the nation stopped for his broadcasts (or at least that was my perception). As I grew older, I learned more about his ministry to presidents that spanned decades. My husband had the…
Homeschooling: Our First Month
Our first month of homeschooling has officially come to an end. When I posted after our first week, I was very happy with the direction we were taking. It’s been an exciting year, so far. With exactly one month done, my children still adore the curriculum we are using. That makes this mama a very happy woman. The following are…

Book Review: 5 Minute Bible Stories
I’m sitting down to (finally) write my book review of 5 Minute Bible Stories. Our school days are well under way. We are a few weeks in and the time seems to already be passing so fast, I can hardly keep up! (Can you believe it is already September??!! -YIKES.) While the older children are busy with school work, the…
Book Review: Count My Blessings 1-2-3
I’m learning to count my blessings. It’s something I very much want my children to learn, too. So many times we go to the Lord to ask him for something specific, but how many times do we stop to say thank you for all we have? This month, I was sent a copy of Count My Blessings 1-2-3 from Tommy…
Teaching Children to Pray
I have written through the years of being a little girl visiting with my great-grandmother. The example of her faith in the Lord planted seeds in my life that have continued to grow though she has been gone for many years. Of my many memories, I remember listening to her pray. She would later tell me how she prayed for…
