Do my kids really need to learn about God?

While lying next to my daughter the other night, she asked all sorts of questions about God. The one that really got me was “Will God help me if I ever need him?” I had to hold back from crying because I knew it would confuse her. After assuring her that God would always be there for her, she fell asleep…. and I laid there, wide awake, wondering if what I just said was even true and if I should have told her that.

Wordless Wednesday - Yes! Beach Weather!

Well, we did get in some beach time - it was a little chilly but we still had fun!

Spring Fun Bucket List - Free Printable

2 years ago, I started making monthly activity calendars for the kids as a way to ensure we had some sort of fun family activity every day. They loved it, as soon as I’d get home from work every day they would ask me “what are we doing today?” and we’d walk over to the refrigerator (where the paper was posted) and I’d read today the day’s activity. It could be anything: movie night, play dough, color, etc.

Supper Sunday

 

I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend. We aren't doing much this weekend - just relaxing and playing outside (it's still a little cold but the kids don't seem to mind).  I just bought some sunflower seeds so we are going to plant those today. I also want to plant carrots since we use so many of them for our juices. More on that in a later post.

 

As for dinner, I am most looking forward to the Baby Back Ribs. It seems like anytime I make something covered in BBQ sauce, it's a big hit with the whole family. I find myself wanting to put bbq sauce on everything, in hopes that the kids will eat it lol.

 

 

Friday Favorites - Movies

Today is a gloomy, rainy day - perfect for a Movie Night at home. I prefer watching movies at home, rather than at the theater: At home we have ultra comfy seats, we can drink whatever we want, and we can have as much popcorn & ice cream as can possibly consume! 

Here are some of our favorite movies:

101 in 1001

One thing that I do to keep focused on things important to me is to make challenges for myself. Earlier this year I discovered the website Day Zero and absolutely fell in love with the 101 in 1001 idea.
 

Wordless Wednesday - Wishing for Summer

We just had two lovely summer-ish days recently. Makes me think back to all the fun we had last year.
