New website–what do you think?

Lifelong learning happening over here! I have successfully migrated my Blogger blog to a new and improved WordPress website hosted through Bluehost. I am relieved to have it DONE! But honestly, it will never really be done…it will always be changing and growing…hopefully for the better.

How did I do it?

Researched,

Asked questions,

Watched tutorials and read instruction guides (countless),

Shed a more than a few tears along the way,

Questioned whether it was really worth it,

Realized at that point it was too late, I had to keep moving forward with it,

And slowly but surely, built each piece.

And the end result is … this new look!

Book Review and Author Interviews

SNUGGLE TIME BIBLE STORIES by Glenys Nellist — Book Review

Snuggle Time Bible Stories is the latest in the Snuggle Time series by Glenys Nellist, illustrated by Cee Briscoe.

Reading together with a toddler is such a special connection point with them. You will definitely want to add this lovely book to your home library. As you read together, you will be introducing your child to many heroes of the faith including Noah, Moses, Samuel, and David. My favorite is the story of Jesus with the children. Here is a sample:

Some children came to Jesus
One bright and sunny day.
“He’s busy!” the disciples cried.
“You’ll have to go away!”

But Jesus called the children
And sat them on his knee.
“I love you all,” he softly said.
“And you belong to me.”

All of us, adults included, need to be reminded of the Savior’s love and of the fact that he calls us his own. What simple, but beautiful words, describing a marvelous truth.

Thank you, Glenys, for another  wonderful story book in this series.
