What we learn about God from a dead bird

September 14, 2014 by Amelia

“Mom, Mom! There’s a dead bird in the back yard!” The kids crowded around the back door, with their noses pressed against the glass. I stood behind them and looked over their heads to see the broken body of a small brown bird lying on the brick patio. “Looks like he must have flown into […]

Chicken Soup for the Soul Giveaway

March 24, 2014 by Amelia

The treasure underneath your feet

Your kids don’t need you to entertain them (a.k.a. the mud puddle escapade)

June 17, 2013 by Amelia

[pinit] I had visions of greatness in my head for this summer. I was going to make every minute count. We would have great adventures (my car is even packed for it). We would be crafty and make fun things. We would go to the library every week, actually finish the reading program and get […]
