Reading with your pre-kindergarten child is rewarding and fun! What a great way to prepare for kindergarten and a lifetime of reading! Experts say that kids who hear a lot of language do better in school. Of course, you should talk to your child throughout the day, sing songs, play rhyming games, and more. But also, READ!! Reading is one of the best ways to hear language.

In the summetime, a Creative Alliteration Schedule keeps us on track and adds variety to our daily schedules. Here's a link to the alliteration schedule I like to use.
We're quite a few days into summer break now, and we started our week by pulling out the sewing machine. We finished 1 of the 4 bags we set out to create for "Make Something Monday" this week. (I'm hoping my other girls will be ready to make theirs by the weekend. They weren't quite feeling up to it on Monday.) This project was supposed to be a Boho Beach Bag, but because of the fabrics my daughter chose (one was flannel), it looks like more of a cozy overnight bag.

Only two things are certain. Death and taxes. Actually, make that three things. Mosquitos in The Woodlands. It’s hard to enjoy the cooler summer evenings with these pesky insects wreaking havoc on our domain. Luckily, we have some favorites to share with you that we think will make the season a lot more enjoyable. Keep reading.

For so many years, I've wanted to try out a KiwiCo Crate, and I finally did it! It was a hit with my 9-year-old daughter, and I am sorry that it took us SO LONG to delve into the world of these fun crate activities! We made probiotic buddy stuffies, homemade goo, and delicious kofta, and we learned a lot about how bacteria works plus played word games and more. Still on our to-do-list from our crate is the making of homemade yogurt and frozen yogurt, which we plan to do the first week of summer break.

I don’t mean to be dramatic, but LovePop has the most gorgeous and unique greeting cards & keepsakes I have ever seen! Are you familiar with them? I found them when searching online for Mother’s Day gift ideas, but I got a bit giddy and ordered pop-up cards and bouquets for graduation and other upcoming special occasions as well. There was an option for free shipping, but I paid a couple dollars extra because once I saw these precious works of art, I had to get them here pronto!

Bible studies and daily devotions are a great way for Christian kids and adults to start their day! Devotionals are short readings that highlight certain character traits, Biblical principles, or Bible stories, and can help children develop the habit of seeking God's will in their everyday lives. Many devotionals and Bible story books include a main verse or scripture passage and help to answer questions a child might have.
You don’t have to engage in ALL the crazy-cool happenings going on around town to have a wonderful, meaningful time with your family this season. Perhaps you prefer a more laid-back approach. Maybe you don’t have a partner to help you corral a couple of rowdy kids through a sea of other families. You could be low on cash, low on energy, or both. Or even more, maybe your idea of fun is just a slower paced, quieter time connecting with your child.

Remember that first date? There were butterflies and lots of excitement, high heels (perhaps), and your special perfume. Y'all had so much fun! And then what?
One of the best pieces of marriage advice I've ever received came from my mother-in-law who cautioned us at the very beginning - don't stop making time for each other. Kids will come into the picture, plus activities and jobs and house stuff and all kinds of distractions that might eventually make it seem impossible to date” your spouse, but MAKE IT HAPPEN anyway!
