If you were to ask me to name good children’s programs to help your child learn, I could easily rattle off a long list of quality shows that I used to watch or that my kids love to watch now, some on repeat.

Right now my family should be on a road trip to Florida to enjoy a much-anticipated, long-time-in-coming Spring Break vacation. Instead, we’re at home, putting away all our vacation clothes and supplies and making plans to hang out around the house (and outside) for the next few weeks, just like so many other in the […] The post Free Online Educational Resources to Keep Your Child Learning appeared first on Life in Lape Haven.| Life in Lape Haven
A few years ago, I saw a mom’s post on Facebook about the special way she’d presented her children’s Easter baskets that year, and I knew I was going to steal her idea for every Easter to come.

While we had a fairly mild December, winter hit hard in January. Any sense of routine we’d manage to get back to after the holidays was extremely difficult to hold onto, thanks to two-hour delays, no-school-at-all-days (including 3 in one week!), and a round of colds that caused a few (minor) sick days. However, if […] The post How to Survive a Snow Day Without Melting Down appeared first on Life in Lape Haven.| Life in Lape Haven
In the middle of October I was driving our two older boys to the first practice for our church’s children’s Christmas program. Elijah had auditioned a week or so earlier, and having earned a part in the cast, he was especially excited. Josiah, on the other hand, was acting rather miserable. We’d had a busy […] The post The Courage in God With Us appeared first on Life in Lape Haven.| Life in Lape Haven
Growing up with a brother whose birthday is 2 days before Christmas, I learned something: You always keep the birthday and Christmas separate. Then I married a man who shares his 5-days-before-Christmas birthday with his father, and the separation thing was confirmed as fairly universal for December babies. And then, of course, I had a […] The post Homemade “Little Drummer Boy” Drum Christmas Ornament appeared first on Life in Lape Haven.| Life in Lape Haven
& Tips for Your Family Bible Time Recently my boys had nearly a week off school, and they surprised me a bit by falling right back into the routine I’d started with them over the summer of doing a mini Bible study and journaling time at breakfast. In fact, they actually ASKED to do it, and […] The post Our Simple Approach to Family Devotions appeared first on Life in Lape Haven.| Life in Lape Haven
While it seems like only yesterday that we saw Elijah off on his first day of kindergarten, unbelievably he’s heading into 3rd grade in a few weeks, and it’s our sweet Josiah who’s getting excited about starting school this year. Knowing how wonderful Elijah’s kindergarten experience was for all of us, we aren’t really worried […] The post How We’re Saving on Back to School appeared first on Life in Lape Haven.| Life in Lape Haven
This past weekend did NOT go as planned, not in the slightest bit. And we had plenty of plans. I had plenty of plans. A friend’s daughter’s birthday party, a fun surprise family event, teaching the preschool class on Sunday morning, writing this post (only not with THIS story in it). Instead, I had two […] The post Finding Strength in the Midst of Messy Motherhood appeared first on Life in Lape Haven.| Life in Lape Haven

Knowing how wonderful Elijah’s kindergarten experience was for all of us, we aren’t really worried for Josiah – we know he’s going to love it.
