  • Galatians 5:22-23 | A Memory Verse

    “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.” —Galatians 5:22-23 I’m “behind” on our monthly verse series. I like to share a new verse here each month to meditate on and memorize together, but I’ve not been quite ready to move past the fruits of the Spirit. This passage has really been speaking to my heart in this season and it’s also wonderfully applicable for little hearts and minds.

  • Nature Scavenger Hunts

    These free printable scavenger hunts are a great tool for encouraging children to immerse themselves in nature and look a little closer at the world around them with deep appreciation. This sort of play magically manages to nurture physical, mental, spiritual, emotional, and social growth in children. And they’re fun for adults as well!

My days are currently spent with two two year olds and so I wasn’t sure what the response…

We would create amongst ourselves all season long, but it was also something we would casually invite friends to join us in because while cookie decorating is fun, one can only consume so many of those. All of this is simply to say that creativity has become deeply entwined in the way that…

  • 8 Prayers to Pray with Little Ones

    The habit of prayer is something that I’ve been striving to better cultivate in my own life and that I wanted to invite Graham into as well. I value the way that prayer invites us to a place of gratitude and how it recenters us as we request that God work in our hearts and lives to make us more like Him. The prayers gathered here are rooted in these two particular aspects because I think they’re a solid starting foundation for introducing children to prayer. One of the greatest obstacles for me about instilling rhythms of prayer in my own life has been simply remembering to do it. Meal…
