Helping our children see the beauty of the gospel in all things ā„ļø
Dear friends, On reading Deuteronomy 11:19, imploring us as believing parents to talk about Godās faithfulness all of the time with our children, have you ever felt clueless as to where to start? That was me, some years ago. We read a storybook Bible daily and prayed over our son, but that was about it. The Lord slowly impressed upon my heart just how much He wants us to tell our children of His goodness. That it could go beyond āBible timeā and be woven into every part of our day. The world...
Can I become a gentler mum? š
Dear friends, For many years now, Iāve come to realise that I am not the mother I hoped I would be. I fall so very short of my own ideal on a daily basis. One of the ways I fall short is in my struggle with gentleness. I had this almost ethereal vision of what I might be like as a mother: serene and calm, with a gentle and joyful answer always on my lips. Sadly, that has not been my reality. As a mother of five, including twins, with all the demands and stimulation that come with raising a...
My heart sank as my son came to me with thisā¦ butā¦
Dear friend, This week my son approached me with a book heād borrowed from school and said, āMum, I donāt think I should be reading this.ā It isnāt the first time heās done this, and my heart sank as I wondered what heād been exposed to this time. But almost immediately, I was reminded that this moment itself was a gift. It showed me that he trusts me. That he wants to bring his concerns to me. And, above all, that the Lord has been growing his discernment. Now, I know youāre probably...

š 20% off - but the real gift isn't the discount
Dear friend, One of my greatest prayers for my children isn't simply that they'll love books. It's that they'll learn to see the world through a biblical lens. Because every day, our children are being taught how to interpret the world around them. Through films. Through friends. Through the stories they consume. As Christian parents, we have the beautiful opportunity to help shape that lens. That's one of the reasons I created these faith based book companions. Rather than simply closing a...
It finally happened!! (and the giveaway of dreams!) šļøšŗ
Happy Wednesday dear ones, It finally happened to meā¦ After recommending this book for years, both online and to friends, a local friend finally borrowed it and they approached this weekend, weeks after borrowing itā¦ this is what they saidā¦ āThat book you loaned meā¦. Best book ever!!ā Itās every ābookish girlyāsā dream to hear a friend truly get your passion for a particular book, even if she did chuckle at the hundreds of tabs Iād put in it to highlight quotes that had struck me. So here I...
A Charlotte Mason giveaway, short review and what weāve been enjoying lately.
Happy Saturday dear ones, I couldn't find a review of this sweet looking early chapter book from a Christian perspective, so I wrote one for you. It's a sweet story of a baby owl who is afraid of the dark. His mother tells him to ask others why they like the dark, in order to help him overcome his fear, with each chapter focusing on one positive aspect of the dark- great for littles who are also struggling with nighttime fears. Itās endearing and has a predictably happy ending of him...
A Valentines Gift, Book List and Dwell Giveaway! āØšø
Happy Valentines Day dear ones. Admittedly, I had forgotten it was Valentines Day until mid morning. I can barely remember what day of the week it is most days, but usually we would have done some kind of activity so Iāve clawed back some of my mum points this afternoon by baking chocolate cake with them, and tomorrow weāll belatedly sit down and devour both the cakes and all of our favourite Valentineās Day themed books. If youāre late to the party too, take heart that you arenāt alone, and...
