Like many Bible verses, James 1:5-6 is a simple principle with eternal implications when is wholeheartedly embraced by a follower. Asking God with faith and committing to following the guidance received can literally change the world. I love these verses and so I put them together in an easy 8×10 printable, easy to frame or just pin to your bulletin board.
Today I’m thrilled to share what you need to know about my favorite time of year to visit Disneyland… Halloween! First things first, it is not gross, gory or scary. Instead, it almost feels more like a celebration of all things fall. It is definitely something the whole family you can enjoy and you won’t have to shield your young children’s eyes!
I love having salad for dinner, but have kind of steered away from it while I’ve had toddlers at home. Without any, or many, molars it’s hard for them to chew and I don’t like to have to make a separate dinner for them. It took a while for me to figure out that the little ones love deconstructed salad just as much I love having it for dinner. Duh.
Amidst the hustle and bustle of work, school, family and church obligations, it can be easy to let things slide. Adelle has some simple ways we can add the Scriptures into each day. I’ve found that when the lazy days of Summer fade and school bells ring I try to recommit myself and my family to our goals….

I get a kick out of the vanity plates I see around town, especially ones with creative spelling.
So I thought it would make a fun game to capture and translate license plates! I can’t guarantee that any of these are actually real, although there are rumors that these plates are truly on the road. You could use this easy-to-print license plate quiz for your family, a classroom game, or for your Cub Scout Pinewood Derby.
I have come to realize and accept that I was never intended to be the champion of this match. There is someone else who has already played this game perfectly, and with exact obedience. He is the champion of my game. He has already set the example for me to reach for, but one He knows I will never attain. It is my belief that as he watches my efforts unfold, He isn’t sitting there with a clipboard jotting down every single error I commit. Not that He doesn’t see my each fault, He does, but it is my belief that he gently and continually encourages me, entreats me to improve, to re-engage, to pick up my pace, to keep shooting… He is the ultimate teammate, coach and fan.
Whether you are a wizard, witch or a muggle, you know what this time of year means – back to school! Hi everyone, it’s Adelle from Packed with Fun, the official blog for Get Away Today! Today, we are going to show you the best treat to transition from the summer break into your fall adventures. What better way than with the snack that welcomes all wizards back to school on the Hogwarts Express, Pumpkin Pasties.
I recently moved my laptop into my basement “office” and the area needed SO MUCH HELP. It’s also the guest room, the room where we have a piano, and the room in which we’ve set up the electric trains so I’m not always tripping over them upstairs. It’s been a bit of a disaster trying to work amidst all the clutter the last couple of weeks. Working with DaySpring Christian Celebrations to specifically find items to enhance my work space with uplifting messages is just what I needed! It motivated me to take steps toward really making the desk space conducive to my work needs.
One of my favorite things to do is give gifts. And teacher gifts are no exception. I love showing our appreciation to all those amazing teachers. I think a gift doesn’t have to be extravagant to be special. Simple gifts that are thoughtful or will mean a lot to the recipient are what’s important. Usually I don’t know all the little details of what a teacher does and doesn’t like. I give a gift that I hope they will like. But this year I thought I’d actually find out what my kids’ teachers really like.
Hello all, it’s Sierra joining you again! “Back to school” season is upon us!

Hello! It’s Kathy from Beyond the Chicken Coop! Lunch at our house always seems to be frenzied. You would think during the summer or on weekends during the school year that lunch time would be relaxing. In reality, we are often rushing to get lunch on the table and get out the door to our next event. These mini bagel pizzas are a go-to favorite for my family.
