Make Meal Time Fun

Messless Placemat

I remember when Peyton was learning how to eat solid foods. Oh my gosh was it a mess! Like a huge mess. There were many a days she went right from the high chair and into the bath to get cleaned up.

Christmas Love Letters From God

Christmas Letters From God

One of the things I am trying to teach Peyton is that the Holidays are not about getting presents. Yes, receiving presents is nice, it's fun. Parents love seeing our little ones facing light up on Christmas morning but presents are not what Christmas is about. Christmas is about the gift that God gave us, his son Jesus. 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 ...
