My four best tips for framing and displaying your artwork

If you’ve been to my house or follow my Instagram feed, you probably know that having art on my walls is important to me.  Art brings such joy to my home, so I’d love to share with you my best tips for framing your artwork! 1. Use a mat or a thick frame to showcase the art. This is a never-fail one. A mat always makes artwork look 10 times classier, especially with a thick mat. If you don’t use...

Bible doodling: a simple introduction + free printable basic lettering guide

Hey friends! I hope you enjoyed last week’s post on ways we can work towards racial unity, starting in our homes (and hopefully then in our nation)! I know this is still on my heart. Today, I want to introduce you to one of my favorite ways to study the Bible, and it’s so simple that anyone can do it and all you need is a pencil, some paper, and your Bible. While there are a ton of resources and nifty...

Printable Good News Story Booklet

We sure need good news in our house. We’re experts at sinning and wanting our own way (especially me!). We need rescue. We need for Jesus to work in our hearts through His Spirit. We want to obey God, but we find we’re very resistant! I’ve been thinking about ways we can share the Good News with our kids–here at home and at church. With my kids, a combination of both art and music have been great tools for...

Printable Scripture Coloring Page: John 1:12

Hi friends!  I have another memory verse printable coloring page for you! You can see them all here. You can ask your kids (or adults!) a few questions about this verse: What’s required of us to become children of God? (receive Him/believe on His name–remember that the faith to do this is a gift as Ephesians 2:8-9 tells us) What is the gift that we get from God? What does it mean that you get the right to become...

Easter Scripture Printable Coloring Activity Page

My girls and I have been memorizing Isaiah 53:6 this week in anticipation of Easter. We’ve been talking about what it means to go astray from God and how we all do it! God is so good and isn’t okay with losing his wandering sheep. He loves us so much He planned for Jesus to lay down His life in order to take the punishment for our sins. Here’s a coloring page you can work through with your kids...

Polar Bear Facts Printable Coloring Page and Craft

For art these past few weeks we’ve worked on making some polar bears for homeschool, so I made a polar bear facts printable for you to download for your kiddos! I realize it’s not a very exciting coloring page since polar bears are white and penguins are white and black. Ha ha. At least the coloring-averse child will be happy! Feel free to add some light blue and gray to your polar bear’s fur. If you want to make...
