Hi Reader!Have you ever noticed how hard it can be to get kids to actually open their Bibles? That’s exactly the challenge I faced at home, and it’s what led me to create Bible scavenger hunts.

You’ll find scavenger hunts for both holidays and books of the Bible, making them perfect...

Hi Reader, I don’t usually share personal stories like this in emails, but as August wraps up, I wanted to pause and bring you behind the scenes of a big shift in our life—one I’m still wrapping my head around. Five years ago, we bought our “forever” home just outside of Washington, D.C. We added a tire swing, a trampoline, a basketball hoop—everything to make it feel like home for our five kids. I’d watch them out the window, running through the woods and playing in the yard, and dream about...

Hi friend, Is it just me, or does getting dressed feel a little easier when you have a few tried-and-true pieces you actually want to wear? This summer (and honestly even into fall), I’ve found myself reaching for the same few outfits over and over again. They’re comfortable, flattering, true to size, and best of all—I liked them so much I bought more colors. Here are my current staples on repeat: The Gym People High-Low Skirt This skirt is my go-to when I want to feel a little dressed up...
