That Time I Ate a Baby Dragon at Medieval Times

This past summer we celebrated four birthdays. One of them was mine and so we decided to go to somewhere I hadn't been before--Medieval Times!

If you haven't been there before you will definitely want to know that this is a great place for a family visit. My older kids have been there a few times but I had not had a chance to go yet so I was happy that I was able to finally visit.

Here is a quick YouTube video for a taste of the experience, make sure to turn unmute it.

Are You Backsliding?

"Men fall in private long before they fall in public."

JC Ryle

Are you backsliding?

Only you know the honest answer to this.

Maybe there have been signs. 

Maybe you have been compromising.

Maybe you have been making excuses for it. 

Or maybe you are in denial.

But either way, you know that it is there. 

What Does the Bible Say about Kindness?

I wanted to start doing some new Bible studies here so that we can look closely at the Word and think about it through the week. I am going to share some that I have done at home with the kids that I already have on hand. They will be simple, one post, and to the point! If we want to be wise women who fear the Lord we have to know His Word and study it.

Today I want to look into some Bible verses about kindness. Kindness is a character trait that goes hand-in-hand with love and we know that we need to love our neighbors as ourselves. It is one that I am always wanting to grow in and work on in my life. One that I want to teach my children too.

Whenever I see kindness it stands out. The world is full of people who know how easy it is to be mean but kindness shines like a light in the darkness.

Homeschool Planners & Which is My Favorite

How can it be mid-August already?

I was strolling through the stores yesterday and saw fall decor and winter clothing out. One store had their Christmas items out near the front of the store...😱

But it's all good, because we've got this, right? We are ready and planning for an incredible new school year and that can only begin with God and an awesome planner. Right, gals?

So today I wanted to share about my favorite homeschool planner.

How to Talk to Your Children About Mass Shootings

Mass shootings were at an all time high this past weekend. Our hearts were broken to hear what happened at a Walmart in El Paso, Texas, a bar in Dayton, Ohio and the multiple violent shootings in Chicago. We know that so many lives will never be the same again because of these senseless tragedies.

Since this type of violence is becoming more common we need to take some action steps on how we address these situations with the loved ones around us, especially if we have children.

Train Them Up Kid's Bible Study Journal

Have you been wanting to help your children grow in their learning of Scripture?


"Train up a child in the way he should go: even when he is old he will not depart from it. " ~Proverbs 22:6

Did you know that when a child writes something down it helps them to retain that knowledge more than they would have by just hearing it?

What Preschool Curriculum I Use

"I am homeschooling my little one this year and was wondering what preschool curriculum you use?"

A reader recently asked me this and I promised a post for her--I just hope I got it out quick enough for her and all of you who were wondering too!

I did preschool last year --and can I just say that I haven't done any preschool in eight years?! It was SO much fun to be able to do it again after so long and we had a blast! I felt like I truly savored it and enjoyed doing all the things with little Bella that I have always wanted to do but not might have had time to over the years with many little children all at once.  

The Big List of Back-to-Homeschool Supplies

This year our local schools seemed to go back pretty early in early and mid August. I am wondering what happened to the old days when schools would start after Labor Day? The summer just keeps feeling shorter and shorter.

But I know that probably works out for many of you--to have your children in school early or when the heat is on and you can't bare to hit the outdoors and prefer to hit the books instead!

Summer Reading for 2019

Now that summer is finally here I have started back to reading. I love reading and can devour several books in a short time if I put my mind to it.  I like to focus on my Bible first as I  always want to be sure that I am increasing my time in God's word because since it will have the most impact in my life.
