A Season for giving

Christmas time is so fun because I love to give presents. I sometimes like to buy too much for my children but I have done a great job at resisiting this year. Instead of spending spending on things I know they dont need we are trying to find different ways to bless others. We are making some homemade gifts and baking gifts! :)

This year our church is buying goats for families in Haiti! It only costs $40 per goat and provides a huge blessing to a family! I am hoping we hit our goal and get enough money to bless many families in need! :) So if any of you reading this wants to help buy a goat please let me know and leave an email addy in the comment section! :)

What will you be doing to be a giver this year? How can you be the hands and feet of Jesus?

Rote learning is transformed into a fast-paced game with a winner every few seconds. After completing Skunk, Game 1, the student has learned five words (can, cat, is, me, not). Playing Game 2 adds an additional five w...

Book Review: "God I feel Scared"

Kids have big feelings, but none of their feelings are too big for God. In this picture book from licensed counselor Michelle Nietert and Tama Fortner, young readers will explore what it means to feel scared and discover how to manage their emotions in a healthy way.
