All this means is that we are celebrating holidays and holy days with our kids, but days from the church calendar rather than the secular calendar. I have a post all about how to get started living liturgically … [Read more...]

I usually keep it simple, but sometimes get … [Read more...]

I'm still working on our interdenominational Christian ABC crafts for my homeschool co-op, and it's time for the letter Q.

How was my singing voice? ;-) Supplies Needed: Construction paper (red … [Read more...]
