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! Presenting this Bible study for kids every day has been a tremendous blessing to my children and they are thrilled at the thought that there are other children out there participating with them! If you haven’t been listening (or doing a Jesse Tree study of your own), this halfway point is an EXCELLENT place to jump in. Today we’re talking about the basis of “The Jesse Tree” and just…

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…

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…

Great Gift Ideas (and Reviews) #4
We have had a LOT of building toys around our house over the years! Here are some of our very favorites, which would make great gift ideas! Building Toy Gift Idea #1: We gave this set of Tomy Contructables to our little boy when he was 2 1/2. At that age, we did most of the constructing, but he loved to “help” and he was fully enamored with the idea of constructing something that actually moved. This set is durable, comes with easy instructions for building multiple types of vehicles, and the parts are large enough to be handled by a toddler/young preschooler. This has continued to be a toy…
