A trip to the Creation Museum
(While I was provided free admission into the Creation Museum this trip, I believe so strongly in their mission that my family held a five-year membership until recently.)
We’ve been to the Creation Museum more times than I remember.  It’s fresh, uplifting and full of learning every. single. time.

If you haven’t been and have the chance, GO.  God is honored.  The Gospel is shared.  Creation is scientifically upheld.  People are moved.  Lives are changed.

Go.

Creation Museum Field Trip

Creation Museum Trip

Everyone from the very Biblically knowledgeable to the unchurched will find things to consider.  And there’s so much to keep children interested – dinosaurs, a mini-zoo, garden trails with bridges to cross, hands-on exhibits, cinema presentations, special classes, and more.

Creation Museum Fun

We have visited the planetarium, the walk-through museum, the zoo, the cinematic presentations, and the walking trails so many, many times and truly never get tired of anything.  And, the bookstore….drool.

Creation Museum Awesomeness

Creation Museum Friends

On our latest trip, we had so much fun meeting up with Jimmie Lanley and Laurie Bostwick!

Have you been to the Creation Museum?  Are you as in love as me?

    I loved our visit there! I was surprised that the Creation Museum is really a Bible history museum and not just about creation apologetics. I spy myself making a craft in one of these pictures. 🙂 And I’m sort of making a rabbit face in our pretty picture. Ah, well, who cares? Rabbits are cute!

    It was super fun to meet you and Jimmie at the Creation Museum!
    If I lived closer, we could do that more often. Win-win. Getting to see more of you and getting to visit the Creation Museum again. 🙂

    LOVED your photos!!!

    We took a road trip (from Minnesota) in March for the Children’s Ministry Conference, it was absolutley life changing! We got to hear Ken Ham and Buddy Davis speak, our faith was strengthened 100% and it had a huge impact on all of our kids. We plan to go again this summer on our way to the Answers in Genesis family Mega Conference.

    I’m not sure, William. You can probably find information for travel and admission at https://creationmuseum.org/.

When my boys were little, I loved reading these “letters from God” to them as blessings to start the day.

As I was sorting bookshelves earlier this month, I stumbled across this sweet book again. I decided the blessings are still as pertinent today for my bigger boy as they were years ago. So, we’re starting our day yet again with a quick, but powerful “letter from God” before jumping into our daily Bible studies.

Do you do anything special to start your day off on the right foot? I’d love to hear about it!

Click the link in my bio for a link to the book.

Winter homeschooling can be tough in normal years. Winter homeschooling can be tough in normal years. It’s cold, the days are dark, and everyone’s cooped up together 24/7. That’s a recipe for the winter blahs to march right into your house and wreak havoc on attitudes and motivation.⠀
⠀
This year’s winter is unlike any other and those blahs may have actually settled in long before now. If you or your children are feeling down, anxious, or bored with school, are “at” each other constantly, bouncing off the walls, or tears and fighting are the norm…the blahs are there.⠀
⠀
Let’s get you, your children, and your homeschool back on track. I’ll be teaching a Homeschool Masterclass on Thursday afternoon to help you kick the blahs to the curb. If you can attend live, come! If you can’t attend live, catch the replay!⠀
⠀
We’ll tackle all sorts of problems the blahs bring with them with very practical  ideas that are easy to implement! ⠀
⠀
Click the link in my bio to join me. There is no shame in admitting that the blahs have arrived and you need a little boost from a friend. ❤️ ⠀

Oh, what peace this quote brings to my soul. It’ Oh, what peace this quote brings to my soul. It’s true, you know. I’ve told my children for years that it only takes a nature walk to see God through His handiwork and to know that His promises are true.⠀
⠀
When the world seems to be falling apart around you, the sun never stops shining. The seasons never stop moving. Without a single, solitary effort of human hands, the woodlands still buzz with life.⠀
⠀
A student of nature can see the consistency in cycles and notice the incredible and creative intricacy of even the smallest specimen and be in awe that we truly serve a God who isn’t unaware of even one tiny detail in our world right now. ⠀
⠀
Life kind of seems overwhelming, though, I know. Remember when I said my motto lately has been to just put one foot in front of the other to do the next right thing? Nature walks (even when it’s cold) never fail me as a right thing. ⠀
⠀
Breathe, friend. Take a nature walk today and let God speak to your soul.⠀

It might seem trite to post a winter picture book It might seem trite to post a winter picture book list right now, but I’m a big believer in keeping things as normal as possible in my home when things aren’t so normal otherwise.⠀
⠀
It’s the principle of putting one foot in front of the other as you simply do the next right thing. Good books almost always can be a “next right thing” choice.⠀
⠀
Even though I’m not homeschooling younger children anymore, I’ll probably never stop sharing wonderful picture book ideas with you. 🤓 I’ve spent way too many hours reading and collecting to ever stop loving them!⠀
⠀
Eli and I may not be using these books right now, but they are still some of my favorites for winter reading. Whatever may be going on around you, the winter months are always a good time of year to get in lots of extra reading. Snuggling and hot chocolate are optional, but encouraged.⠀
⠀
