Homemade lip gloss. What tween doesn’t love it? None, I say. So, of course we had to whip up a batch for Activity Days. But since we care about a message being a part of anything fun and crafty and cute, we paired the mixing of strawberry lip gloss with a lesson on the perils [...]

It’s winter. Last week Cole was cooped up in the house with a nasty cold – which means no friends could come over to break up the day. And the television was on way too much. Oh well. I definitely work hard at not wishing each stage of his life away to something better but [...]

Becoming better. And that is the message that we taught during our “Goal Banner” activity for Activity [...]

So even though you will see from the background of some of my pictures that this activity was done during Christmastime, I have decided to still share it with you.
