Christmas Manger Craft for Kids
Recently, I was chatting with my five-year-old about the upcoming holiday and had one of those “crawl under the table and hide because I’m so embarrassed” moments.

Top 13 Christian Parenting Books of 2013
Every December, I like to take a look back at the year that has been, as well as reflect on what I hope is to come. What does that mean exactly? I revisit our family’s calendar to see where we’ve been, what we’ve done and how we spend our time. I look through photos from […]

What is Advent?
Advent began this week for Christians around the world, but do you really know what Advent is? Advent is the season of waiting for Christmas. It begins on the fourth Sunday before Christmas, and it ends of Christmas Eve. Many people simplify by celebrating Advent from December 1 to 24, and this year, it just […]

Changing Your Black Friday Focus
Our family has never really been a fan of or participated in Black Friday sales and events. We typically choose to take time to be with each other as it’s one of the few times of the year when nearly everyone is around and not working or not in school. It’s a time of fellowship […]

Turkey is NOT for Thanksgiving
For some people, there is nothing that strikes fear into the heart faster than the thought of having to cook Thanksgiving dinner for the in-laws! I fear a few things, but cooking is not one of them, so even though we had just moved into our new house, I was eager to impress my relatives […]

You Can Help on National Adoption Day
National Adoption Day. It sounds like a great thing, but what is it?

Making the Most of Carpool Conversations for Faith Talks with Your Kids
I learned early on as a parent that when they’re not picking on one another or wondering how soon we’ll get where we’re going, children are a captive audience while riding in the car. As early as age 3, Big J–our now 7-year-old–was asking very challenging questions as we drove… “What do aardvarks eat?” “What […]
