Baby Product Info

Was talking about baby/kid products with a friend the other day...thought I'd pass along a helpful guide. I'm going to take it upstairs and just glance over some of my products and see how they compare. Should be interesting! See the guide here.

Everyday School





Still enjoying our time together with homeschooling! Meet our one-year-old, tabletop student, our baby spiders (did you know that the big brothers eat the little brothers within the sac of eggs? fascinating!), and "crayon hand."

CATALYST 2009

Chris and I had the privilege and joy to get away and attend an amazing conference in Atlanta called Catalyst. The Lord used it on so many levels--we laughed, we cried, we worshipped, we learned, we talked, we prayed and we fell more in love with the author and perfecter of our faith, Jesus Christ. Not to mention it was refreshing to enjoy some long car rides with my husband in a quiet car:)!

Chris and I obviously both have a love and passion for what the Lord is doing in Africa. The Lord continues to stir our hearts for this region of the world. At the conference, they increased awareness and challenged all of us to have compassion on "the least of these" in our world--specifically the 143 million orphans in our world today.

Check out this video (particularly the story of the Kenyan man, Jimmy, which starts at 3:45 minutes). Certainly the most moving event during our conference! I pray that it will challenge you as well!
