I’ve learned something over the past few weeks about siblings. They’re always fighting!!! My kids will fight over anything from a banana that has fallen on the floor to a toy they haven’t played with in months. Deciding on the right way to correct them in the moment can be extremely difficult. I often find […]
There are so many things I want to teach my children about Christ. I want them to grow close to Him and have a desire deep in their bellies to know more about Him. What’s one way to teach them? Study the word with them daily. Here are a few verses on grace to reflect […]

Our kiddos are starting to sing them back to the teachers! This got me thinking… Kids are way more receptive to learn while having fun! I am always racking […]
