13 Ways Kids Can Do Good
My very best friend is paranoid that her children will grow up to be spoiled, entitled adults. I think all parents worry about this to some degree (especially in America), but being spoiled and entitled is not a foregone conclusion. I think I may have mentioned modeling good behavior in every blog post I’ve ever written, […]

National Philanthropy Day: The Power of Volunteering

Picking Out Her First “Big Girl” Bible

Her birthday wish list is pretty typical for girls her age – things like a new backpack, some headbands, a board game she was introduced to at a friend’s house, and a new video game that necessitates dancing. She’s also quick to talk about how this […]

It is Good to Give Thanks
It is good to praise the Lord and make music to your name, O Most High, proclaiming your love in the morning and your faithfulness at night. – Psalm 92:1-2 It’s 5:00 p.m. and the doorbell rings; that can only mean one thing, the play date is over. I walked my friend through the house, […]

Veterans Day for Kids: What Does Veterans Day Mean to Your Child?
A few weeks back, my husband and I took a trip to Savannah, Georgia. We are lovers of American history and we visited a cemetery there that played a part in the Civil War. As we walked along the path, we came across a historical marker that caught my attention. The plaque marked the grave of […]

5 Ways to Enjoy Fall with the Whole Family
Fall is one of my favorite seasons! The cooler temperatures (here in Texas we experience some pretty extreme summer heat), the golden colors, the animals getting their winter coats… it is spectacular! But with all of the busyness of life and back-to-school activities, we might miss the pleasures of fall if we aren’t purposeful about […]
