Play Guide for Baby’s First Year

April 29, 2019 By Shannon This post may contain affiliate links and this site uses cookies. Click here for details.

What activities are fun and foster baby’s physical and mental development? Get ideas with this printable play guide for baby.

As I noted last month, I’m going through some of my old posts and making updates to them. One of my favorite posts from about four years ago is about developmentally appropriate play for babies. Everything in that post is still relevant, but I’ve never been particularly fond of the appearance of the printable guide I shared there. When I … [Read more...] about Play Guide for Baby’s First Year

Alleviating Constipation in Children

April 25, 2019 By Shannon This post may contain affiliate links and this site uses cookies. Click here for details.

Up to 30 percent of children suffer from constipation. Here are some reasons why and some tips on how to help our kids stay regular.

When I first began writing this blog, I wouldn’t have believed you if you would have told me that I’d someday be writing about the topic of constipation. However, here I am, writing a post on kids’ bowel habits. Motherhood sure makes you talk about a number of topics that once seemed inappropriate to discuss with strangers! I’d be … [Read more...] about Alleviating Constipation in Children

How Budgeting Reveals More About Your Heart Than Your Wallet

April 22, 2019 By Shannon This post may contain affiliate links and this site uses cookies. Click here for details.

Budgeting reveals a lot more than the details of our financial situations. It provides a mirror for our hearts.

My husband and I have really pared down our budget in recent months. Since we got married, our goal has been to live completely free of debt (though we are comfortable having a mortgage). Thus far this has remained beyond our reach. We did pretty well during the early years of our marriage. At that time, we had two incomes and no … [Read more...] about How Budgeting Reveals More About Your Heart Than Your Wallet

Printable Easter Story Word Clouds

April 18, 2019 By Shannon This post may contain affiliate links and this site uses cookies. Click here for details.

These printable word clouds of the Easter story are a lovely item to decorate our homes and a fun way to meditate on the meaning of Easter.

As I did at Christmas, for Easter I’m sharing words from the Bible in the form of word clouds. The word cloud pictured above contains the story of Jesus’ death and resurrection. Word clouds are images comprised of the words used in a particular text. In this case, the text is Mark 15:22-39 and 16:1-7. The size of each word in the cloud … [Read more...] about Printable Easter Story Word Clouds

All-Purpose Seasoning

April 15, 2019 By Shannon This post may contain affiliate links and this site uses cookies. Click here for details.

This all-purpose seasoning, made with ingredients you likely have on hand, adds a wonderful flavor to your favorite dishes.

I end up pulling the same spices out of the pantry almost every night when I make dinner. This is because I season most of our dishes in the same way. I realized some time ago that it would be a lot simpler to go ahead and mix these spices together and keep them in a jar or canister so I have a ready-to-use mixture. I finally got around … [Read more...] about All-Purpose Seasoning

Use Bakeware Organizers to Store Kids’ Puzzles

April 11, 2019 By Shannon This post may contain affiliate links and this site uses cookies. Click here for details.

Bakeware organizers and pot racks can store chunky puzzles and peg puzzles! Here’s how to use these simple tools to organize your kids’ puzzles.

A couple of months ago I shared some ideas I’d come across online for organizing kids’ puzzles. I was trying to find a storage solution for the puzzles we keep on a couple of shelves in our living room. There are several great ideas in that post, but we’ve ended up using kitchenware organizers to store our puzzles. We ordered 2 sets of … [Read more...] about Use Bakeware Organizers to Store Kids’ Puzzles

Marriages Benefit When Spouses Have Different Strengths

April 8, 2019 By Shannon This post may contain affiliate links and this site uses cookies. Click here for details.

Though it can sometimes be frustrating, it’s a good thing for spouses to have different strengths. Here’s why.

My husband and I have a lot of different strengths. Most of the time this doesn’t bother me, but sometimes it does. I feel frustrated on occasion because I’m super observant and notice things that he doesn’t. For example, I’ve walked out onto the driveway and noticed that one of the tires on his vehicle was low. He insisted that it was not, so … [Read more...] about Marriages Benefit When Spouses Have Different Strengths

Worship Music Playlist for Labor and Delivery

April 4, 2019 By Shannon This post may contain affiliate links and this site uses cookies. Click here for details.

Music can be a source of encouragement during labor and while recovering from childbirth. Here are some wonderful worship songs for a labor playlist.

This is a post that I intended to share after I gave birth to my third child back in September. I didn’t get around to it right away, and then I hesitated to share it because the delivery didn’t go as planned. Of course, it’s not the playlist’s fault that I ended up needing an emergency C-section, so I decided to go ahead and share it … [Read more...] about Worship Music Playlist for Labor and Delivery
