Night Night Devotions for Kids
Do you do a Bible devotion every night with your kids? We try to but the kids tire quickly of reading the same books over and over. Night Night Devotions by Amy Parker is a great new book with 90 devotions for kids. I love adding scripturally-sound devotions to our bookshelf and we have loved this one! There is always much debate on if devotions are better in the morning or at night (or somewhere in between). Personally, as long as we are DOING a devotion, the time of day doesn't seem to matter. Yes, it's nice to start the day out with a Word from God, but it's equally advantageous ... Continue Reading...

Introducing new foods to your infant or toddler can be a daunting task, especially foods that are common allergens. Introducing peanuts to your young baby safely doesn't have to be scary or shouldn't be full of guesswork. Why Introduce Peanuts Early? The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that all infants be given peanuts, and children with mild to severe eczema should be introduced to peanuts early, in an attempt to reduce the rate of peanut allergies. The specific guidelines call for beginning peanut introduction during the critical window of 4-6 months of age. How much ... Continue Reading...
