Hi guys. Today I want to give you some encouragement as we are navigating this new normal together, but separately. This is an emotional and stressful time, but I hope I can help give a little positivity and help turn this upside down world back around again (or at least sideways :). Let’s call these, … Continue reading It’s Okay To Worry

What Does God See When He Sees You?
I read recently that reading the Bible with little ones is like walking through a room with Legos thrown around – you are bound to step on something sharp every now and then. This week’s reading has at least two of those stories. Now, I’ve written before that I believe telling children the whole story … Continue reading What Does God See When He Sees You?
Learning About 9/11
Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it. Proverbs 22:6. A couple weeks ago my second grader came home all excited because being in a new classroom meant a big new class library with lots of new books to read. He was … Continue reading Learning About 9/11
Always Prepared
A couple of the readings this week are all about being prepared. Children know what that means and it's always helpful to relate reading to their everyday lives or tasks. Every night my kids and I get out their school clothes and put their backpack by the door. I put together their lunch and water … Continue reading Always Prepared
Don’t Forget This The Night Before School
Today at Sunday School we will talk about how to get ready for school. It’s fun to get ready for school; buying new clothes, crayons and a backpack. It’s an exciting time, wondering what your new teacher will be like and who will be in your class. It can also be kind of scary. You … Continue reading Don’t Forget This The Night Before School
Train Up a Child in the Way He Should Go
Sometimes I’m a little jealous of the way my husband grew up. He went to the same small Christian school from K through 12 and he learned a lot about his faith. At school, he had to commit Bible verses and songs to memory – and he was tested on them, just like in his … Continue reading Train Up a Child in the Way He Should Go
The First Six
The preschoolers have spent the last two weeks learning about the Ten Commandments. We are ending our school year learning some important basics of our faith. We've already talked about the Lord's Prayer, Golden Rule and Fruits of the Spirit. Sometimes it could be hard to talk to kids about big stuff. You might wonder what are … Continue reading The First Six
Let’s Dive In
This week we are starting with Luke, our third gospel. You and/or your children might start complaining "but I've already read this...twice". To this I say: a) repetition is good and that's how you learn and b) Luke is different. It was specifically written to present an accurate and complete account of the life of … Continue reading Let’s Dive In
Preparation Required
I am in the midst of preparing for our family vacation that includes an 8 hour flight so I thought I’d take a minute and share a few tips about traveling with little ones. My family LOVES to travel and we especially love road trips. That’s when we are at our best. My husband and … Continue reading Preparation Required
Fruit Of The Spirit’s Not A Coconut
Today in preschool we got a little messy with our craft (fruit stamping) and silly with our new song and game. Some lessons just lend themselves to be extra fun! And it works, there was definitely more “chatter” at pick up than usual. Sometimes to understand things easier it’s really good to use our imagination … Continue reading Fruit Of The Spirit’s Not A Coconut
