This month we’re wrapping up our nine-month study on the fruit of the Spirit with Self-Control. I’m no child psychologist, but I would say this is probably the fruit that children struggle with the most. Self-control is an ability that develops over time with maturity and experience, but it’s also a great life skill to… Continue reading Self-Control: A Preschool Fruit-of-the-Spirit Bible Study
This month we’re focusing on Gentleness, which I like to think of as Kindness on steroids. I really love the definition I found on biblestudytools.com: a “sensitivity of disposition and kindness of behavior, founded on strength and prompted by love.” Beautiful. So basically, it means treating others with kindness, but in a way that displays… Continue reading Gentleness: A Preschool Fruit-of-the-Spirit Bible Study
Have you ever noticed that children tend to latch onto things that interest them and then that’s all they want to talk about? Lately, my oldest, E, has been fascinated with math. He loves learning about the manipulation of shapes, working with patterns, and doing all things numbers. Because of this, I started introducing him… Continue reading Domino Math: A Simple, No-Prep, Living Math Game for Preschool and Early Elementary
It’s that time again! We’re gearing up for our homeschool preschool year this week and I’ve got some new ideas that I’m really excited to try. While I’ve still got a couple years to decide if we’re officially going to take the plunge, I’m really leaning heavily toward homeschooling at this point. Per the usual,… Continue reading Charlotte Mason Homeschool Preschool Schedule 2017-18

If you’ve been following along with our Fruits of the Spirit Bible studies this year, then you’ve noticed that in order to prep for each study, I’ve… Continue reading Faithfulness: A Preschool Fruit-of-the-Spirit Bible Study
Y’all. This summer has been crazy. We’ve been traveling quite a bit to see family, wading our way through several transitions and preparing for others, and spending a lot more time with Daddy at home thanks to some extra vacation days. Needless to say, any semblance of routine has pretty much gone out the window.… Continue reading Green & Simple Tip #1: Ditch the Paper Towels
I don’t know about y’all, but our summer has been crazy this year! My husband has had several days off so our routine has almost been completely thrown out. It’s no surprise that I wasn’t ready with this Bible study before the month of July started, and for those of you following along, I am… Continue reading Goodness: A Preschool Fruit-of-the-Spirit Bible Study
Those of you who have read my blog for a while have probably gathered that I’m passionate about doing daily Bible studies with my two little guys (who are almost 2 and almost 4 for those of you who are wondering). The reason I love doing this is because I get a chance to speak… Continue reading Honest Overshare of a Stay-at-Home Mom: Trying Not to Be a Martha
I’m terrible at trusting God. If you can’t tell, I’m sort of a Type A, do-it-yourself type of girl. That verse in James (1:6-8) about genuine prayer has always terrified me because I feel like those prayer times are few and far between for me. A couple weeks ago during church, our pastor encouraged everyone… Continue reading Honest Overshare of a Stay-at-Home Mom: I’m Terrible at Trusting God
