    Welcome to Day 13 of the Crazy Kids Bible Devotional Jesse Tree series! For those of you who have been listening to the podcast, I just want to thank you so much for letting my family come into your home everyday!

    Great Gift Ideas (and Reviews) #5

    I don’t know if any of you have picked up on this yet . . . but we like games around here.  We like them so much that I think I’ve mentioned games about a million times on the blog already. I’ve mentioned them here and here and here, and that doesn’t even count the homeschool-related posts I’ve mentioned them in. So . . . yep. There’s no doubt about it. We definitely like games. I’m always looking for great games to add to our collection, and it’s not unusual for a game or two to show up around here on any of the occasions that call for gift-giving. My…

    Ramblings

    On Santa, Elves, Bunnies, Fairies, et al.

    So here’s the thing: my kids don’t believe in Santa. At least, not as far as I know. My daughter (7), the cynic of the family, absolutely definitely does not believe in anything make believe whatsoever. She also never talked back to Dora the Explorer or bought into the idea that anyone on the other side of the TV screen was actually speaking directly to her or could hear or see her. Even as a teeny tiny toddler, she never once did what any of her beloved characters on TV asked her to unless I prompted her. And, while she would happily sit in front of the TV all day…
