I love having closely spaced kids! Why? Because there are many wonderful things about having kids who are close in age. Here are 6 of these things.

We should make Scripture memorization a priority for our kids. Why? Because of the numerous ways they benefit from knowing Bible verses.

My young kids use glass dishes. Here are several benefits of this and some practical tips for using glass dishes with kids.
