Devotions in Exodus {book review}

Ancient History· Books I'm Reading· Reviews· Scriptures and thoughts

I was blessed to review this new devotional book written by Nicole Vaughn called Devotions from Exodus Part One. She also has another devotional based on Genesis, called Devotions from Genesis! To be honest, when I thought about these devotionals and whether I really wanted to review them or not, I wondered what types of devotional thoughts could be taken from Genesis and Exodus.

Turkey Art!

Crafts with the Kids· Homeschooling - General· Pinterest· Teaching Art {With the Help of Pinterest}

I found the directions for drawing this fantastic turkey at Art Projects for Kids, where she gives step-by-step directions for drawing a turkey! I used these directions several years ago with my own kids, but we followed her instructions on the colors closely. With my art class at co- op I gave the kids a little more freedom and I am so impressed with what they came up ... Read More about Turkey Art!
