A resource for teaching the Bible to kids, the Tower of Babel, + an update on my Bible study project

I recently started teaching Sunday School again and the lesson last month was on the Tower of Babel in Genesis 11. After all I’ve been learning about faithful Bible reading, I knew better than to assume that I understood why the Biblical authors and compilers included that story! I found helpful information in this book by Old Testament scholar, John Walton: “The Bible Story Handbook: A Resource for Teaching 175 Stories from the Bible” (I got the Kindle version...

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...

A morning prayer coloring page (in English & Spanish)

Hello friends! I’ve told you before that I grew up in a mostly Southern Baptist church tradition, so I wasn’t raised using the traditional liturgy of the ancient Christian church. I recently got a copy of the Book of Common Prayer and have been blessed by the daily Psalms reading and other prayers. I find these practices useful in difficult times when it feels hard to prayer “on my own,” when the world feels heavy, and when I’m easily...

Where is God? Where is Heaven? Questions that matter to me and my three-year-old + a GOD IS HERE screensaver

My son is three and half now, very verbal, and asking big questions: How did I get out of your belly when I was a baby? (“God made a way, buddy.”) Who’s your mom? (“Mamo.”) Why do I have to take a nap? (“Because Mommy needs a nap too.”) Where is God?    He asks the last question strapped into his carseat behind me as I drive. I answer, “Well, God is in heaven.” “Where is heaven?” “Heaven is...

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...
