Obedience: Jonah and the Whale

Obedience.It's so hard to obey.We have to die to our wants and desires and do what God wants us to do.A heart that desires obedience is what I want for my kids.What parent doesn't want their child to obey them?However obedience stems from love, and in order to obey, you must know that the person you are obeying loves you and is looking out for your best interests.Experience God's study this month...

S is for Serpent

We've been battling sickness around here...stuffy noses, hacking coughs, and constant snuggle time make for long days.However even during the struggle of these days, it is so nice to break open a Mother Goose Time bag and explore the new items that make learning so much fun.Snake day was just what both my girl and this momma needed, and it was perfect to tie in a lesson from our Experience God...

Creating a Preschool Homeschool Space

Do you ever feel like your kid's stuff has just overtaken every room of the house?Last year, I set up most of Sweet Pea's preschool items in our breakfast room next to the kitchen, which you can see here.  It worked great!However, I had also turned our front formal family room into her playroom, which she hardly used unless to get a book.  I really hated the fact that she hardly played...

John the Baptist for Preschoolers

Trying to teach about God to preschoolers is a tough job, but our Experience God pack makes it so easy for us at home.

The Fiery Furnace for Preschoolers

First of all, I must apologize for the simply AWFUL pictures in this post.My Bible fell on top of my phone and shattered the camera lens. No amount of filtering can fully restore these images.  (my nice camera was borrowed over this week)I am in love with the Experience God pack from Mother Goose Time.Reasons why:It spends the entire month studying one truth about God.      ...

Coloring Through Observing

Why do kids love coloring sheets?I loved them growing up.. in fact I still love them.There's a huge industry blowing up right now for adult coloring books.What is it about coloring that is so therapeutic?I must say that as a former art teacher, there is such an overwhelming sense of accomplishment when a work of art is completed.Even if it is a coloring sheet.I love our Experience God...

Experiencing God with a Toddler

Have you ever experienced God?I mean, have you ever been through something or looked at a particular person and KNOWN it was God right there?I am the Kinder-5th Grade Children's Director at my church.If you told me that I would be used by the Lord to teach kids about His love 10 years ago, I would have laughed in your face!  I wasn't even a believer then, and I didn't grow up in...
