Do you ever struggle trying to get your kids to play outside? Do they get bored and want to come back in to soon? Do you want to get them to love learning in nature more?  I've got a very inspiring episode for you today! Amy Roberts from Raising Arrows is joining us to talk about nature bags and how to use them in your homeschooling and/or in getting your kids outside more!  Here's what I asked Amy:   "For the mama who wants to encourage her kids to get outside and play more (regardless of whether they homeschool or not) can you share a little about your idea of a nature bag, what you put inside it, and how it helps your kids discover and play outside more? (I LOVE your blog post and podcast you did on this topic. So just a quick overview would be awesome!)"   Links & Resources:   You can find Amy over at Raising Arrows Check out her very own podcast: The Raising Arrows Podcast (it’s one of my FAVORITES!)

When I was deep in my survival mode season of little kids, one of the most impactful resources for me was Crystal Paine's book Say Goodbye to Survival Mode. And I got to interview Crystal on that very subject for the 2017 Homemaking Ministries Online Conference. Today's episode is all about what do we do when we find ourselves living in survival mode.

It's no secret that Jason and I are both avid readers. It's a dear wish of ours that our children will become readers as well. So in our household we like to foster a love of reading and one way we do this, is by reading aloud. Now, if you think reading aloud is just for little kids, think again! Today I'm going to share how reading aloud is great for the whole family.

Contentment is a topic that I find myself needing to return to AGAIN and AGAIN because Jami seems to forget the lesson quickly. This has never been more apparent than with everything going on in the world. So today I'm giving myself some lessons in finding contentment in every season, why don't you join me?

I read a book last year that has had lasting impact on me. It's called Comparison Girl: Lessons from Jesus on Me-Free Living in a Measure-Up World. In the book she talks a lot about comparing ourselves to others, trying to preform for God's acceptance (which we don't need to), and putting stock in the wrong identity.
