Praises of a Wife and Mommy

Raise your hand if you are a children's church volunteer or teacher?   Some are volunteers and some are the blessed few who have this as a full-time job.  Either way, everyone is always looking for the next curriculum to use with their students and what is the best for each age group.   You all know I have enjoyed "the Jesus Storybook Bible" videos and have used it to teach my students in children's church they now offer a curriculum package!  This is 44 weeks of lessons!!!   How awesome is that!  All you need is your computer and a printer and you are set for weeks! It is such a nice addition to a great Bible for kids.  The CD's are easy to work with and printing was easy... ver simple, especially for those who think they are not very techy!  The curriculum has instructions on how to use it and the kids have a page they can take home every lesson.  There is a huge variety in the lessons!  Thanks Zondervan for ...

ABOUT KOA COFFEE In 1997, Koa Coffee started as a small family business. A true “Mom & Pop” with a little boy and his dog running and playing in the Hawaiian sunshine as we tended our precious Kona beans. We harvested by hand, picking every Kona Coffee cherry by hand only when it was ripe. We roasted our coffee with care, cupping every roast to make sure it tasted just right. And we shipped it out daily, from Hawaii to your door with much Aloha. This is the coffee Forbes called Best in America!

Naturally, you want to take an interest in what they do and make sure they study something that will benefit them as well as something they’ll enjoy. If your kids don’t know what they want to do in college, then it’s up to you to help them out and provide a few ideas that they can mull over. This way, they can worry less and try to find something they may enjoy. So, I’ve come up with three great subjects your kids could study at college.

Many of us live in smaller homes with a box room or a tiny third bedroom. So, when it comes to adding to our families, we worry about space. Do we move to a bigger house? Or do we try to fit a nursery into the smaller room? Well, I’m here to tell you, there is an awful lot you can do with that box room. I’ve even seen converted closets house a baby!

You could even add a mirror, to create the optical illusion of more space. Use the Walls If you don’t have much space for storage, use the walls. Mak...
