Earth Day Activity- Backyard Nature Center Table

By

JDaniel dragged a plastic table off the deck and began searching the yard for items that he could display on his backyard nature center table.

Wood and dirt along with other ground coverings were Continue Reading

Pause Life for a Moment- A Break in the Routine

By

Pause Life for a Moment

I am a creature of habit and routine. Having a schedule that stays pretty much the same from week to week is something that helps me feel relaxed and more or less stress-free. The time JDaniel wakes up rarely varies. He tends to be up by 6:00 and is dying to eat breakfast shortly thereafter. Lunch is a little before of afternoon. It tends to Continue Reading

Muffin Tin Monday- Easter Lamb

When I think I Easter, it isn't the bunny that comes to mind, but the lamb. My mom used to make lamb cakes for Easter when I was growing up and lambs have remained my favorite symbol of Easter. Below you will find my lamb lunch and if you visit Rainbows Within Reach you will find a lamb I made for a guest post there made of egg cartons.  I hope you Continue Reading

True Meaning of Easter Rocks or The Jelly Bean Prayer in Rocks

By

I love the Jelly Bean Prayer. I found it mentioned on the 1+1+1=1. In fact, I printed out the little coloring book 1+1+1=1 has on her blog last year to share with JDaniel. The idea is that you share the gospel with your child as you give to them the jelly beans one at a time while they learn the poem that makes up the prayer. Red is for the blood Continue Reading
