I enjoy reading the Bible with my kids. As they get older (my oldest is 12) I’m trying to teach the importance of personal daily reading and it’s been a bit of a challenge to find ways to keep them engaged on their own. A themed month is exactly what we need so I created […]
Have you ever stood looking lost in the tool aisle at Christmas time? Decorated sets and fun looking power tools might have you dreaming of your husband crossing things off that honey-do list, but which one does he need? And why are they so stinking expensive?

My sister is great at thinking up fun family gifts. Last year for Christmas she gifted us a movie night box complete with movies, popcorn, soda, and candy.
