Shape Chick

One of my biggest pet peeves is “kid’s crafts” that look perfect…because I know that the child was not really one doing the craft, the parent/caregiver/teacher was. As you can tell right off the bat, this sweet chick was 100%…

Day 7 of Creation: God Rested

If there is ever a wonderful excuse for making (or rather, encouraging) your child nap, it’s that God himself had to rest after creating the entire world! Interestingly, the seventh day of creation is not included in the account of creation…
