There is this myth in our culture that we have to look out for number one in order to get anywhere successfully. “Put on your own oxygen mask before you can help others.” It sounds like such wise advise. It sounds like wisdom. People hop from church to church because they aren’t “fed”. Even worse …
Wild Explorers Club Review
I came across the Wild Explorers Club through Wild and Free. It seemed like a really good fit for our family. We don't have the time for Scouts or whatever variation of that you present. With Wild Explorers, we could get outdoors and earn some badges in our own time. All the kids could participate. …
Kindergarten Math Box
Last school year, in addition to our Kindergarten Math book that we used, I also made a Math Box for my little guys. I was super pregnant at the beginning of the year and then had a newborn, so I knew I would need something easy to grab and execute to help them with math. …
ESV Family Devotional Bible Review
The last few months, I have been using this Family Devotional Bible from Crossway. I wanted to use it for a little while before I gave my review of it. So, I've been pulling it out during family devotion time. I have the hardcover edition, but it is also available in blue or brown imitation …

BumGenius Flip Review
I've been cloth diapering a long time. So I have seen how diapers evolve. New brands starts. Old brands fade out. Old brands come out with new stuff. The Flip certainly isn't new, but it took me a while to try it. I'm just going to be up front. The All In Two* concept was …
Lent 2018
If you're looking for my annual Lent family devotions, they are in book form this year! I was coming up with a way to make the family devotional more user-friendly. Scrolling through an entire week of blog posts is a bit messy. It is free, but it is messy. Then, I had this idea to …
Merry Christmas!
Of course, I needed to add my obligatory Christmas photo. It almost didn't happen this year. I should probably switch this to a Christmas Eve thing. Christmas morning, I usually have them do it right after we read the Christmas story. But the toddler was being a maniac and the baby needed to eat. So, …
Godbold Academy Spelling Program
I have never found a spelling program that I liked and my kids liked. So spelling has always been a struggle. Then this year, I sat down and figured out my own spelling program for the kids. It has been going really well, so I figured I would share it with you. The best part …
