We’re currently reading The Chronicles of Narnia series as a family read-aloud. We have chosen to read them in chronological order, so the posts with our Narnia activities will follow this sequence: The Magician’s Nephew The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe The Horse and His Boy Prince Caspian The Voyage of the Dawn…

Remembering the Pastor’s Wife
October is Pastor Appreciation Month. Regardless of your pastor’s gender, it’s so important to remember his/her family. This is a guest post written by Jessica Burke.

A Gentle and Quiet Spirit - Hope for all Women
Do not let your adornment be merely outward—arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel—rather let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God. (1 Peter 3:3-4 NKJV) I’m going to let you in…
Free Squirrel Unit Study Resources
One of the activities that I have planned for the Fall season is participating in Project Squirrel. It’s a really simple animal observation project to do with the kids and only involves 14 questions. I think my younger students will really enjoy it. And if we’re going to do the observation, we have to include…
