This past month I had the pleasure of reading a few new children’s books that I think your kids will love this summer. ***When you purchase through links on my website, I do collect advertising fees from the Amazon.*** Best of all, these books each have a different character-building lesson in them. They are beautifully illustrated too. When you shop online, it is hard to know what exactly is in any book you have never read before. That can be […]

Thankfully, I was able to get my hands on a free blogger sample. (Thank you picturesongold.com!) Making the Locket […]

The Story Traveler’s Bible: 5 Easy Ways We Teach Our Children About God

faith, family, giveaways, God, parenting

Our number one priority is that we set our children off on the right track spiritually. We aren’t training them to live to please just their parents, society, or a set of rules.  Once you’re an adult, those things all become mushy anyway. We’d rather they have a relationship with God. It’s not about religion; it’s about knowing how to pray, knowing why they believe, having faith, and making these choices on their own. It’s about feeling responsible to a […]

how to pay for private school

Our family is living on a budget for the first time…..since 8 years ago when we read that Dave Ramsey book. This year was a huge change. We went from paying about $3,000/year in school tuitions to Classical Conversations and preschool to paying about $15,000/year total in private school tuitions. That’s two full school tuitions plus a partial one for my kindergartener, who has a partial scholarship. It was a big jump. We realized we were going to have to […]

Global Warming, Honest Abe, and the Best Month Ever

giveaways, holidays

November is quite possibly my favorite month of the year. Why? It all boils down to 2 primary reasons. #1. It is not SUPPOSED to be 90 degrees anymore. I’d do anything to get these temps turned down. ARE humans causing global warming? I don’t know. I don’t care anymore. If there’s a chance it might work, here, take my car keys……. Wait……. Does that mean I have to home  school again? No, never mind. You can have my electricity, […]

It was an exciting weekend here, so I have FUNNY stuff to share today. I thought this photo well captured the key difference between Daniel and me. Look at how neat his memory tiles are. Look at mine. He clearly got a few things from his father. Looks sweet, right? You’d never know that 30 minutes before he cried all the way through Target until I cried uncle and went home. *Groannnnnn.* Hehehe! No, I’m just kidding. I have no […]
