The Letter "U" Underwear Writing/A Fun Way to Review Sight Words. It has been a great last few weeks! The sun was really shining last week, and temperatures are finally staying in the upper 60's and low 70's. I am so glad that the temperature is finally warm enough for us to comfortably play outside at recess! This week it has been really rainy in East Tennessee, but hopefully, it will wash some of the pollen out of the air. Some of my kiddos have had some AWFUL allergies. It was so much fun to watch the...

God doesn't give you more than you can handle". First of all, that is one of the lies we as humans try to soothe ourselves with! Like you, I have heard this phrase my whole life.when times are hard and difficult and unfair. The truth is.God DOES give us more than WE can handle.but He DOES NOT give us more than HE can handle. That's they key difference. Some others you may have heard."It builds character" or "it can only make you stronger". I would love to talk to anyone who may be dealing with the loss o...

I have to apologize for allowing this week's crazy life take me away from God's instructions for me this week! Easter Sunday was and is a time to remember the Resurrection of Christ. We need to know deep down in our hearts that even if it was just you or me on this Earth, he would have died for just us. God loves us that much! I have a son. I cannot imagine sacrificing him for any human.can you imagine that for your son or daughter? God's Salvation Plan is SIMPLE! There is NO hierarchy of sin! Start with...

A Journey through God's Will Part 1. Where do I start when I start talking about the past 8 months during this what seems like a lifetime of a journey! My mom was healthy and doing her thing until May 24, 2014. She had been at my cousin's home for two weeks taking care of her after breast cancer surgery. Cancer runs all through my mom's side of our family! I got home and got all of the kids bathed and tucked in and made the phone call that was so prevalent on my mind. My mom spoke to me as if were go...

Kinder Tribe Linky Party: All About This Kinder Teacher. I am SO excited to participate in this linky party from my friends at Kinder Tribe. If you are a kindergarten teacher that is still looking for your tribe, please visit our blog and Facebook page!
