Making these Bible chains with my daughter just felt so special. We had the music playing, the sun was shining, and we were left with something that will forever remind us of that day and each other, which of course I love. They were very simple to make, too! To get the majority of our […]

Our daughter absolutely loves painting and has learned some really great tips and tricks along the way. At the end of her volleyball season she painted a team photo as a gift to their coach and had all the girls sign it, and it turned out SO well, it had everyone asking how she did […]
