    The following are a collection of blog posts, tutorials, websites, and books I have found this week that I hope will encourage and edify you on your journey toward connection.   FAVORITE BLOG POSTS Got stories? I love stories, and there is something magical about sharing them with children. One of the best things about storytelling is that they can be education in nature, in a sneaky sort of way. Learn five wonderful things children gain from storytelling in Erica Layne’s enlightening article about the power of story.   Perhaps you need to read this powerful article about relationships as much as I did. Life changing!   On her fun…

In the midst of the Adventure of Motherhood, which….{ahem}….often feels like complete chaos, who among us does not occasionally find ourselves wishing for the assistance of a village as we endeavor to tackle tantrums, laundry, and sick kids…all on approximately 2.5 hours of sleep. (Been there, done that.) In her recent blog post, Grace…

It will have you wanting to shout from the rooftops by movies-end. A family favorite!   Monumental Description: Powerful and moving documentary about the Pilgrams role in the birth of our nation.   A More Perfect Union Description: “A thoughtful, quiet, and moving dramatization of the 1787 Convention in Philadelphia…

  • When I learned that Sam from The Kitchen Professor is passionate about creating connections in the kitchen, I knew I had to invite her to guest post on my blog. After all, authentic connections are most easily made when surrounded by food, and what better place to find food than in a kitchen! Her post about teaching kids about food is a reminder that spending time in the kitchen can be fun, delicious, AND educational. It’s an entertaining read for young and old alike. {Link in bio} #teachingkidstocook #teachingkids #kitchen #food #connection #learningisfun #unschooling #homeschool #homeschooling #hospitality #christianblogger #lds #familytime #family #familyfun #familyfuntime #downaspenlane #foodprep
