Happy Wednesday, Reader! One year, we sat around the table with crayons scattered everywhere. My children were coloring patriotic pages while we talked about Memorial Day. One asked, “Why do we celebrate this day?” It opened the door for such a meaningful conversation. We talked about courage. Sacrifice. And honoring those who gave so much. That’s what I love most about simple learning activities. They create natural opportunities for deeper conversations. Our Memorial Day Coloring Pages for...

Happy Wednesday, Reader! I want to remind you of something today. The little things matter. The bedtime prayers. The extra hugs. The books you read even when you’re tired. The moments you choose patience. They may feel small. But they are shaping hearts. I remember a season when I wondered if any of it was making a difference. Then one evening, one of my children folded their hands before dinner and prayed a simple prayer of thanks. No reminder. Just faith growing quietly. That moment...

Happy Wednesday, Reader! One of my favorite parenting moments happened after reading the story of the ten lepers with my children. When we finished, I asked, “Why do you think only one came back?” My child thought for a moment and said, “Maybe he remembered to say thank you.” Such a simple answer. And such a powerful truth. Gratitude changes hearts. It helps our children notice God’s goodness in the everyday. It teaches them to pause and recognize blessings that can easily be overlooked....

Happy Wednesday, Reader! Sometimes the sweetest moments happen when we least expect them. The other morning, one of my children curled up beside me while I was reading my scriptures. Just quiet curiosity. She pointed to my notebook and asked, “What are you writing?” I told her I was writing down what God was teaching me. She smiled and said, “Can I do that too?” That simple moment reminded me of something so important. Children often learn faith by watching us walk it out. Not through perfect...

Happy Wednesday, Reader! Some days feel lighter than others. And some days… we need a little more strength. If today feels like one of those days, I want to gently remind you of this promise: “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” (Philippians 4:13) Not because we have everything figured out. Not because we feel strong on our own. But because He is our strength. I’ve come back to this verse so many times this past year. In the tired moments. In the uncertain moments. In...

Happy Wednesday, Reader! There are moments in the day when you just need something… simple. Something your child can enjoy that keeps their mind active and doesn’t require a lot from you. And I know how helpful it is to have something ready to go—something you can pull out and know your child will settle into. That’s exactly what inspired the Spring Break Puzzle Workbook. It’s filled with fun, engaging puzzles that help your child think, solve, and explore—without feeling like “work.” Because...

Happy Wednesday, Reader! Some of the best moments happen when we least expect them. This one started in the kitchen. There was no big plan. Just a simple idea and a few ingredients we already had. And within minutes… there was laughter. Little hands shaking the bag. Giggles filling the room. That look of excitement when they realized what was happening. We were making ice cream. But it felt like so much more than that. It was one of those moments where everything else faded, and we were just...

Happy Wednesday, Reader! Patience isn’t something that comes naturally… for kids or for us. I saw it the other day in the smallest moment. We were working on something simple, and frustration started to build. Little hands tightened. Voices got a bit louder. And I could feel my own patience being tested too. In that moment, I had a choice. Rush through it… or slow down and guide through it. So we paused. We took a breath together. We talked about what patience looks like—not just in words,...

Happy Wednesday, Reader! There are moments in life when we want to show up for someone we love… but we’re not quite sure how. Especially when that someone is a mother who is grieving. Mother’s Day can feel tender. Heavy in ways that are hard to put into words. And if you’ve ever found yourself wondering, “What do I say? What do I do?”—you’re not alone. I’ve been there too. What I’ve learned is this: It’s not about having the perfect words. It’s about showing up with a soft, loving heart....
