I Am So Bored!
I am so bored is a phrase I frequently hear on the weekends. Peyton will wander out of her room and mumble how bored she is and ask me for something to do.

When we read the story I Am So Bored! by Henrike Wilson it reminded me of Peyton! In I Am So Bored! Baby Bear is ...
See You Later, Alligator
See you later, alligator! After a while, crocodile! That was one of my favorite things to say as a child. Peyton and I say it to each other all the time.

On Day 2 the devotional is - ...

God gave us a present. And somewhere along the way we turned that into children getting presents from Santa on Christmas morning. In Christmas Love Letters from God your ...
