Babies take up so much space, for such a tiny person! I knew I had to find a solution and a substitution for a high chair. There was noway we were fitting a high chair into our home! I also looked into a clip on chair but our table has a funny lip underneath so that wasn’t an option either. So, after seeing a friend have a chair similar to this Summer one, I just knew I had to have it,…

    School Night Conversation Dice

    Welcome back to school . . . nights! Every one mentions the back to school, but what comes with back to school are busier evenings.

    U – UNDERSTANDING

    Here is a review of the J.E.S.U.S. acronym! J – Joyful E – Exciting S – Safe U – Understading S – Son of God In this lesson we look and see in scriptures how Jesus UNDERSTANDS us. He understands us because He made us AND He is human. He went through and felt the things we have and will, so He understands everything we could possibly bring to Him.

    S – SAFE
