These scripture pillowcases are my favorite way to remember bible verses with my family.

“I sought the Lord, and He answered me and delivered me from my fears.” Psalms 34:4

My friend Renee Robinson made these pillowcases for me  I was so touched by her story.

She started making these scripture pillowcases because her son had trouble sleeping at night… and the verses helped calm him.

Each of my girls and Anderson now have their own verse pillowcase and we read them each night. It has already had such a peaceful effect for us during our night time routines. read more

Getting Kids in the Kitchen

There are so many benefits of getting kids in the kitchen to help you with cooking meals and baking some healthy delicious treats like these Low Carb Mexican Wedding Cookies.

Getting kids involved in the kitchen can have numerous benefits for their development and well-being:

1. Life Skills: Cooking teaches kids important life skills that they’ll use throughout their lives. By learning to prepare meals from scratch, they develop a valuable skill set including measuring ingredients, following recipes, and understanding basic cooking techniques.
2. Healthy Eating Habits: When kids are involved in meal preparation, they’re more likely to try new foods and develop a positive attitude towards healthy eating. Cooking together allows them to explore a variety of ingredients and flavors, making them more open to trying nutritious foods like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
3. Nutritional Awareness: Cooking at home gives kids a better understanding of where their food comes from and how it’s prepared. They learn to recognize different food groups, understand the importance of balanced meals, and make informed choices about what they eat.
4. Confidence and Independence: Being able to cook for themselves gives kids a sense of independence and accomplishment. As they gain confidence in the kitchen, they’re more likely to take on other responsibilities and challenges in their lives.
5. Family Bonding: Cooking together can be a fun and enjoyable way for families to spend time together. It provides an opportunity for kids to bond with parents, siblings, and other family members while working towards a common goal.
6. Cognitive Development: Cooking involves various cognitive skills such as problem-solving, planning, and sequencing. Kids learn to follow step-by-step instructions, think critically, and make decisions, which can help improve their cognitive abilities and academic performance.
7. Motor Skills: Cooking requires both fine and gross motor skills, such as chopping, stirring, and pouring. By practicing these skills in the kitchen, kids can improve their coordination, dexterity, and hand-eye coordination.
8. Creativity and Imagination: Cooking is a creative process that allows kids to express themselves and experiment with different flavors and ingredients. Encouraging creativity in the kitchen can spark their imagination and inspire them to think outside the box.

Overall, involving kids in cooking fosters a positive attitude towards food, promotes healthy eating habits, and enhances their overall development and well-being. Plus, it’s a fun and rewarding activity that the whole family can enjoy together. read more
