The surprise is on us! We’re in the middle of our week long we-love-our-blog Surprise Party when suddenly (ok, not so suddenly, I just kinda forgot about it), Robin is hosting a big fun BlogHop for all the non-BlogHer attenders! Yay!
So now, for a little introduction…
We’re just two moms, Leigh and Amanda who blog about our kids. Big surprise, right? But THIS blog is a little bit different. We don’t blog about the cute stuff our kids do. We blog about the stuff we do TO our kids. See, our goal is to impress God’s Word on our kids’ hearts. We believe kids are little sponges open to receiving and understanding God’s love. And all we want in life is for them to know that Love.
So, this blog is that journey. We use crafts, activities, experiments, games, songs, adventures and stories to tell our kids about this Love. We blog it here to keep ourselves accountable. To learn from each other. To encourage you. So our kids will know. So your kids will know. And one day a generation of kids will grow up ALWAYS knowing that Love.
It’s what God has called us to do…not this blog (well, maybe…) but this huge adventure of parenting. God clearly tells us to talk about His laws and His ways everywhere we go and in everything we do. It might sound daunting but it’s really pretty fun. So, let’s do it together, ok? Keep up with our blog by subscribing to our email updates or RSS feed. And if you are on twitter, please follow us @impressyourkids so we can do the same!
While you’re here would you like to win a little prize-ies? Our Surprise Party is still in full force. Why don’t you meander a little and see if you find anything you like…

You are so cool! I knew about the BlogHop (even though I didn’t get that I was supposed to write a post and am already missing out on the fun) but didn’t know about your Surprise Party. Fun!

What a neat idea for a blog, just posted about my last day home schooling :sniff: but thankfully have lots of small people to hang out with so I’m off to read some posts.

I LOVE the explanation of your blog. I am definitely going to be a reader. A lot of what I blog is for accountability, too. You sound like my kind of ladies. 🙂 So nice to meet you!

Well, after just discovering you yesterday or the day before, doggone it if you weren’t one of my “assigned” visits from the BlogHop. 😉 After my first visit here ended up with my reading about something I had also just read (and greatly needed) in Creative Correction. I think God is trying to tell me something! lol

What a great concept for a blog. I like how it is all about impressing the kids rather than talking about what they did. Good luck with it! I hope you are enjoying the Blog Hop!

Wow, it sounds like you just have so much fun being alive, and your kids will grow up with the same feeling. That’s awesome.
Hi, thanks for stopping by for Blog Hop ’09! What a wonderful to concept to share how you teach your children about God. My son is 22, a senior in college majoring in Religious Studies. I can’t express how important the early years are–he is so knowledgeable about the Word of God, etc, that it’s amazing to me, but it all started by teaching and reading at home, not just depending on an hour or two during the week at Sunday School and Children’s Church. “Teach these things to your children”–Congratulations on the work you’ve begun!
