by admin 2 Comments

The Hard Working Homeschool Mommy (an adaptation of The Little Red Hen) Once upon a time there was a wonderful little family.  There was Mommy, Daddy, Willy Nilly, Gemma Wemma, and Aaraboo.  They all lived together in a big messy house in the suburbs.

What Fathers Really Need for Father’s Day

Welcome to Minivan Ministries!

by admin 13 Comments

Welcome to MiniVan Ministries! Most parents have uttered this promise at one point in our lives…”I will never own a minivan!”  But many of us succumb to the sure awesomeness of all that room and not having to bend over when buckling kids in car seats.  When our kids become more important to us than our coolness quotient, style sometimes goes out … [Read more...]
