I can't even imagine how much the pace will pick up for me in life when my kids are in school, sports, dance, and Lord willing, whatever other activities their hearts desire and we deem life-giving. Even now, there are days I'm scrambling to make time stretch the full length of all the things I had in my mind to accomplish. But for our family, the summer months come in with a bluster of activity, and leave the same way. We end up making an annual trek to the beach in north Florida, road tripping to Texas a few thousand times, and exploring just how flexible our children can be in one vehicle for days on end. That leaves me, oftentimes, disconnected from friendships and completely out of the loop on any activities at church. A summer devotional to help keep perspective. I love doing women's Bible studies with a group of random women, packed into one space, watching Beth Moore and her hair on video. But summertime basically eliminates my ability to be part of anything involving six … [Read more...]

The Grandparents’ Handbook
Review: The Grandparents' Handbook is a very enjoyable and informative read for any grandparent who wants to have some fun with their grandchildren. Not only does it have fun ideas on what to do with your toddler grandchildren, but it also gives you a "refresher course" on how to deal with and handle little babies. I am sure the memories of, for example, how to calm a crying baby, how to change a diaper or even the good old nursery rhymes will come rushing back. Or how about top tips to make bath time fun for little guys? Safety tips to make grandparents' house a safe place for little people or even time-out strategies. A lot of today's grandparents are young at heart and want to enjoy their grandchildren. I really like the varied activities that this book has to offer to this new generation of grandparents: There is a great section on indoor and outdoor fun and games, such as play pirate for a day, planning a scavenger hunt or for the older child, hold a mock election. The Craft … [Read more...]
