Well… it’s officially back to school season and while you are probably crying over the prices of school supplies and clothes, here is a cheery little treat idea for you and…get ready for it…a FREE printable to go with it!!
So today, I’m sharing this simple, fun, back to school treat that you will most definitely have time for (it took me like 10 minutes…for real!).
For me personally, I love to give. I love to serve and help and be busy doing good things. I love taking care of my family and making sure they have what they need. Those things are important to me because they are important things! BUT…we must be willing to stop and take care of ourselves as well. When we get so wrapped up in taking care of everyone but ourselves, eventually what we will have to give may not be enough.
Family Night is a family activity that can be held once a week. Teach your children important values and how to be better family members, people, citizens, friends, and neighbors. Once a month, I will share a Family Night lesson on the blog to help get your creativity rolling and to inspire us all to try a little harder to be a little better.
For those of you who aren’t members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, I hope you can use these quotes and scriptures as well. Most of the subjects are universal Christian subjects and the quotes and scriptures are inspiring and helpful for everyone!
This month’s message is titled Divine Attributes of Jesus Christ: Meek and Humble. As I read this message, I want to reevaluate my life and see what more I need to do to become more like a child.
First of all, let me explain visiting teaching. As a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, we are in a congregation where we are asked to go and visit certain ladies each month to really get to know them, share a quick message and find out if they have any needs that need to be met. It’s one of the ways we build friendships and help our leaders know any needs that families have.
Choose Happy! Choose Joy! We’ve all seen the cute signs and printables and quotes all over the internet. It’s great 2-second inspiration for the day, a great reminder that we are in charge of our own happiness, so make the most of it! After all, men are that they might have joy, right? We are supposed to be happy in this life!
I’m always wanting to make learning fun and interesting so my son will actually get through it without complaining. Since we struggled throughout the school year, I wanted to make sure we practiced during the summer so he doesn’t fall behind once he starts 1st grade next year. Since he does enjoy math, I decided to come up with some printable math worksheets we could do this summer.
Hello again, it’s Veronica! Can you tell Father’s Day is one of my favorite holidays? I love celebrating dads! One of my dad’s strengths has always been expressing love for us. Some of my sweetest memories of Father’s Day were the moments when my dad let us know why HE was thankful to BE OUR DAD.
So, I thought I’d make a fun printable for any dad’s out there who would like to take a minute to let their kids know why he loves being their dad!
Hello! It’s Veronica and I’m so happy to be here this month! Since Father’s Day is coming, I thought I’d share some ideas for Family Night with DAD! Why?! Because they are so very important, and so very awesome!! I’ve had a ton of fun ideas swimming around in my little brain, so it was hard to whittle it down. There are a lot of ideas, so just choose what would work the best for your family. I’m also sensitive to the fact that not everyone may have a father in their home, so feel free to adapt it for a grandfather or close friend. They could be your guest of honor for the night!
This is Sharon again from Lemon Squeezy, and this month I water-colored a quote that I love. Duke Fergerson is a retired professional football player and said this during an interview back in 1988, which was originally advice from his mother. I’m going to put this inspirational quote up where my kids will see it a lot and hopefully it will be something they always remember.
I always want to make summer vacation a fun, memorable time for my boys, and that usually means I have to start thinking about it NOW! Not to say I sit down and plan every minute of every day during their break, but I do like to have a few things set and organized just to make the three months run a bit more smoothly, and be as enjoyable as possible. Organizing our treats in this S’Mores caddy is one little thing I can do to make my life easier.
Hello! It’s Victoria from Creative Home Keeper again and I am excited to share a wonderful resource to better connect with your spouse on your next date- 15 conversation starters!
Date night for me in this season of little ones would almost be non-existent if my husband and I weren’t intentional about setting aside time to spend together every week. Yes, you heard me correctly– my husband and I have a date night about once a week, and it is so important.
How are we able to plan a weekly date night? It’s really not too hard…
