"...when he appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is." 1 John 3:2
So, last month I joined in with Amanda in her Monthly Mission to PRAY with my kids. Since one of the focuses of our prayer was other nations of the world, we ended up praying for the countries of the children we sponsor through Compassion Canada. This led to us looking at maps to see where they lived and reminded me that the Monthly Mission from April had been to write your Compassion child a letter. So, even though we {Read More}
I had hoped to have this post up earlier, but we are still trying to recover and catch up with life after being on a road trip for over 2 weeks with our three young kiddos, so things are taking a little longer to get done. I’ve talked about my friend Amanda at ohamanda.com several times before, as she is the writer of the fantastic eBook “Truth in the Tinsel“. Recently, she has also started a series on her blog {Read More}
This is quite belated, but we’ve been super busy and it took me forever to take pictures of our last Advent Christmas ornaments and finally take them all down and put them away until next year. So, here are the pictures of our Truth in the Tinsel experience this year, if you haven’t already seen them on Instagram or Facebook. This year I decided to use Amanda’s new printable ornaments, which was definitely easier and not as much work, but {Read More}
My husband recently shared his story on his new blog, in which he shared some exciting news regarding his work and ministry! I encourage you to go read it, but I also wanted to share the same story from my vantage point. From a young age, Jesus captivated my heart with His love and I found myself identifying with Mary of Bethany, who simply desired to sit at the feet of Jesus, gaze at His face and listen to Him {Read More}
Tomorrow is December 1st and our family’s Christmas celebrations will officially begin! As a young family, we are still figuring out what traditions we want to have, so it is quite basic for the time being. I started by making the same Christmas cookies I made last year – Coffee Fingers, Almond Tea Cookies and Gramma Cookies. I tried a new recipe for the Gramma Cookies this year, which I liked better & I made a yummy almond flavored icing {Read More}

It’s November 1st and that means it’s only one month until we begin celebrating Advent! Last Christmas, I participated in a fabulous Advent experience with my kids called Truth in the Tinsel by OhAmanda, which is a 24-day eBook that counts you and your kids down to Christmas Day with an interactive telling of the Christmas story through crafts and scriptures and ideas for talking with your kids about Jesus’ birth. As I said in my original review of this {Read More}

I think it’s pretty safe to say that prayer and worship are two of the most important spiritual skills that we can teach our children. I am by no means an expert on the subject and have had my fair share of bedtime fights over trying to get my kids to pray with me. But, this is exactly why I get excited about any little tools that can help me get my kids engaged in prayer and worship. I know {Read More}
