My friend Christine from Dates to Diapers is challenging herself to make a craft every day this week with her kids. (And this is quite a feat considering she has six kids and she homeschools and runs a hugely popular blog!) To help her out, I’m guest posting about a fun winter craft Lydia and [...]
In keeping with my one-word New Year’s Resolution, I want to do MORE for our Compassion kids, Alizeta and Rasmane. (Have I told you about Rasmane? Oh, he’s so cute. After Asa was born, we decided to support a little boy, too. We chose Rasmane because he goes to the same “church” as Alizeta. So, [...]
When I was little, my brother and I had advent calendars. They were just paper and we tacked them up to our basement door in the living room. But I loved opening up those flaps every day and seeing the picture and verse inside. I still have my advent calendar and treasure it!

Wow! You guys had some great ideas for quick princess costumes! I wish I had posted earlier! I ended up finding a tutorial here that seemed easy enough. And after a trip to Hancock and Michael’s, take a look at my little Strawberry Princess…
Is she cuter than cute?! Ack! She was so excited to be [...]
Doesn’t this stuff just make you happy?!
(they’re all clickable, and yes, I stole most of them straight off etsy’s first page.)
Easter is four days away! Four days and we are still wearing coats outside! What happened to spring sandals and sleeveless Easter dresses? I guess Lydia and I will be stylin’ on Sunday with tights and hats!
