Take Time for the Birth of Jesus
The Christmas Season has a way of rushing past in a multi-color blur!
We must be intentional if we want to focus on the true gift of the season.
Grapevine Studies provides an easy, affordable way to slow down and celebrate The Birth of Christ with your children.
All you need to know is how to draw simple stick figures!
Here are a few ideas to make some memories with your study:
Put up your nativity scene little by little, each day adding the piece that matches your study.
Make a book out of your stick figures and give it to a grandparent.
Act out the bible story using your pictures as a script- even non-readers can participate!
Select a few of your favorite images and cut them out. Add them to some garland, or decorate a small tree.
Write some of your favorite verses from the study on strips of red & green paper and glue together to make a chain.

Moms, Are You Weary? Giveaway
bone-deep tired … hopeless … overwhelmed … angry … guilty … empty … lonely … battle-scarred … bitter … disappointed … broken … resentful … WEARY
Can you relate to any of those words?
Of course you can, you are human.
But there is Hope for the Weary Mom! I loved this devotional for tired mommas because I realized that I am not the only one who has THOSE days!! You know, the days when: baby is cranky, the older kids are arguing, you are out of that one ingredient to finish dinner, & there is no Calgon to take you away!
{Sometimes it is not just a day. Life has a way of flipping upside-down and looking nothing like you imagined. We experienced this many years ago when we lost our Elijah to Leukemia. But we have HOPE in the One who heals broken hearts and replaces dark days with Joy!}
Stacey Thacker and Brooke McGloughlin have a passion for encouraging burned-out Mommas. They have expanded their wonderful eBook and added study questions for each chapter. What a blessing it would be to go through this with friends and encourage each other in your Mommy ministry!
Being a Weary Mom is not the life that God has planned for you. He has redeemed you and restored you. Let His Grace flow freely and fill you up!

What’s in the Bible? Review & Coupon Code
I kept seeing ads for the new What’s in the Bible? series, but I didn’t really give it much thought. It was when I started reading rave reviews on trusted blogs that my interest level rose a bit. I jumped at the chance to review Volume1!
What’s in the Bible? is created by Phil Vischer, of Veggie Tales fame. Unlike the silly Veggie Tales stories, this series walks through the Bible and shows how all of the characters fit together into one redemptive story.
Make no mistake, this series is ridiculous..and we loved it!
This is pretty much how it went the night we watched: An odd little character would appear onscreen and sing an odd little song – -we would look at each other with eyebrows raised, saying phrases like “What in the world?” and “That is so bizarre!” – – then, after a moment of silence, we would burst out laughing!!
All silliness aside, the kids were actually learning something…important things! I even learned a thing or two about church history.
The What’s in the Bible? site has lots of great activities:
Some of the viewpoints on free will didn’t really mesh with what we teach, but we used it as a conversation starter to reinforce what and why we believe.
We liked them so much that I bought the whole series. And since they go along with the free Bible Roadtrip study that we are doing, I can justify the cost as part of our curriculum budget. 😉
Speaking of cost, I have a 20% off coupon code to share with you, with free shipping on orders over $15!

Things Get Exciting with Esther
My kids LOVE the story of Esther!
It has all the makings of a great adventure: a queen-in-training, bravery, suspense, secret plots, saving the kingdom
And running through it all is the thread of Faithfulness.
Esther teaches us that God has a plan, and we have a purpose. We must not be afraid to do what is right, and what we are called to do.
Grapevine Studies makes it easy to share the story of Esther with your family by simply drawing colorful stick figures. The Teacher Book has step-by-step instructions, making this an open-&-go curriculum.
Grapevine Studies has several Old Testament and New Testament studies that offer a fun way to teach Bible as a part of your homeschool, or to do as a family during an evening devotional time.
Take a look at how our family uses Grapevine Studies before bedtime.
Some of the studies have multiple levels. Here is some info from the website to help you choose a level that is a perfect fit for your family:
- The Beginners program focuses on the main accounts of the Bible. Beginners draw two drawings per page.
- Level 1 students are introduced to the Bible timeline and continue to learn about the major characters and events of the Bible. Level 1 students draw four drawings per page.
- Level 2 students read more Scripture and memorize additional Bible facts. In addition to memory verses, Level 2 students also learn: Books of the Old Testament, Ten Commandments, Twelve Sons of Jacob, Books of the New Testament, The Twelve Apostles, The Apostles Creed
- Level 3 students learn basic biblical geography and read more Scripture than the previous levels. The stick figures for Level 3 are more detailed, adding names of people and cities.
- Level 4 students learn where the books of the Bible fit into the Bible timeline. Students also learn how to use Bible study tools including a Bible concordance, Bible dictionary, and topical Bible.
- Level 5 studies are self-directed and do not include stick figures. In Level 5, students use inductive Bible study skills and do hands-on projects and research topics related to each lesson.
Do you have kids in multiple levels? The Level 3-4 teacher manual can also be used to teach Levels 1 and 2 by simplifying the drawings and using the Scripture reading from the oldest student book you are teaching.
Look for the purple box under each book to view a sample.
