Introducing two new Bible printable sets + a free sample coloring page

My business has changed a lot over the last 10 years! I started off making cute animal prints for nursery decor on Etsy. In 2015, I started writing this blog and created my first Bible verse printable. I was looking for Bible coloring pages to do with my kids, and I couldn’t find what I was looking for. That led to creating my printable Bible verse cards and coloring pages. In 2018, I started exploring watercolor, and that led...

Summer Bible Memory + Printable Bible Memory Plan Chart

I told you I’d be back (two blog posts in one week–what?)!   Summer break is just around the corner for us. I’m freaking out a little bit about having everyone at home again, but believing that God has good things for us this summer, and that I will not go crazy and lose my hair . . . or my mind . . . or both.   Sigh. The anxiety is real, friends.   I want to have some...

Encouragement for back-to-school printable round-up

Hi friends! On a whim, the kids and I decided to jump right in and start school this week. It’s feels good to be back in a familiar rhythm. We’re studying the first part of American history this year (starting with the native peoples of the Americas using Sonlight Core D), and I’m excited to see what we’ll learn. We’ve made a few small adjustments in organization and scheduling from last year that seem to be helping. Having the...

A few of my favorite things this February

If we sat down for coffee, these are the things that would probably trickle out in conversation, the things that make my heart happy, in no particular order and by no means exhaustive. Homeschool and learning (or relearning) Okay, I’ll admit it. For all my complaining, I actually love homeschool. I love being part of my kids’ learning and learning myself. We definitely have bad days and even bad weeks, but we have settled into a nice rythym together....

PRINTABLE Love & Encouragement Notes

It’s back-to-school time again and I know there’s some kiddos (or adults!!) out there that need some words of affirmation and encouragement. I think of these words: “The wise of heart is called discerning, and sweetness of speech increases persuasiveness.” “Gracious words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the body.” Proverbs 16:21 & 24 ESV I made some simple printable cards you can use to share some sweet, life-giving words wtih your kiddos. This file is...

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...

On Substack today: how the testimony of women book On Substack today: how the testimony of women bookends the Gospel story--from Mary to Mary Magdalene. Plus, New Testament scholar Richard Bauckham's book on how the Gospel writers relied on eyewitness testimony. Does this matter for women today? I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Artwork Edward Middleton Manigault (1887-1922), Christ Appearing to Mary (1910).
