Escape Room Style Easter Scavenger Hunt
I had so much fun making an Escape Room for the kids a few weeks ago I knew I wanted to use what I had learned during that process and make an Escape Room Style Easter Scavenger Hunt.

I’ll even share all the clues we made and you can use them as is if that works for you/your home or you can change them or use different clues but using what I share as a guide.

Plus, on the rare occasion I have a car ride without the kids I will listen then. I have a variety of different podcasts I listen to, most are about general gospel-centered…

Of course I couldn’t have a themed month without a book list! I wanted to share some of the best biblical-based parenting books I have read over the years. But first I wanted to share a disclaimer and say that these books in no way take priority over reading the Bible and discovering for ourselves what God has called us to as parents. That being said, I find good biblical-based parenting books can be very encouraging, if you are looking for some, here are eleven of my…
