There is something about a book with a handle. It gives a little person instant ownership. And makes them feel all grown up to be carrying around a book that is all their very own. To our little man, every book is a “Bible.” But this particular Bible of his really does have a Bible…
My girls are privileged to have lots of Bible storybooks at their disposal. But the illustrations by Natalie Carabetta in Children’s Favorite Bible Stories made it an immediate favorite. Mary was captivated with the page picturing Isaiah’s vision. On our way through the pages to find it again to read it, we had to read…
“I love you to church and back.” “I love you to the bedroom and back.” I Love You to God and Back was an instant favorite in our house, as evidenced by the variations on its title used as statements of affection (with much hilarious laughter) by our girls. And the squeals at the cute…
“Far away, in Skinny Tree Kingdom, Prince Chirpio had always liked being royalty…” So begins the tale of Prince Chirpio, a parable of the parable of the prodigal son. Little Blue was having a bad day. He was sure Daddy Blue must not love him anymore, so he decided to leave the big oak tree…
Blog at Home Mom is not just a book about blogging or motherhood—it’s a book about time and life management. And it’s both honest and affirming at the same time. Christin begins by acknowledging writing as a gift from God, a passion that she can and must use for a purpose. In fact, she goes one…
I grew up Baptist. We celebrated the Palm Sunday journey that led our Savior to Good Friday and finally Resurrection Sunday, but we didn’t recognize the journey of Lent that paved the way in our own hearts. My friends in the blogosphere spoke often of Lent in the days leading up to Easter, but even…
“It will kill your heart for motherhood if you compare yourself to everyone else’s ideals.” (Sally Clarkson in Desperate) There are times when I begin reading a book and realize that if I could only keep one book on the topic, this would be it. The author isn’t just speaking my language—they are speaking God’s…
Everyone piles on the couch, the kiddoes still in their pajamas. It’s one wintry morning, and everyone is slow in waking up. The bright pictures captivate their imagination. The boy was caught in the storm. But the story draws them in. He stumbled toward the house his grandpa had built. “If the boy could make…
There’s something about Precious Moments illustrations that I can’t resist. It could have something to do with my mom collecting the figurines. Or the fact that I grew up on the Precious Moments storybooks myself. Or just their very cuteness. All that to say, the new My Christmas Bible Storybook board book from Precious Moments…
Unplugging allows me to gain perspective on my computer time and the effect I allow it to have on the rest of my week. -Trina Holden (@TrinaHolden) in “My #1 Sanity Saver” on trinaholden.com When you own your own business, you can never really leave work at the office. When your family business takes place…
I love hanging laundry up on a line to dry. For the extra time it might take, standing out there in the open air, feeling the breeze on your face and hearing the birds sing is definitely worth it in my book! Besides, can anything beat the fresh smell of line-dried laundry? –Chantel Brankshire in…
The young woman had apparently been in the middle of a washing day, for she wore an apron, her sleeves were rolled up to the elbows and there were soapsuds on her hands. If she had had time to put on her good clothes (her best hat had imitation cherries on it) she would have…
The End.
The End.
