Teaching Children About God - Children's Catechism Week One

There are thousands of resources available to help you teach your children about God. An old-fashioned way of doing it is to teach them Catechism, a summary of the principles of Christian religion in the form of questions and answers, used for the instruction of Christians.

I wanted to start teaching Little Guy Catechism, but couldn't find a printable, and didn't want to print off a whole long list. So here it is: My first printable!

I am going to be sharing one list of about five questions each week. Sometimes it might be a few less questions, because some of the answers are longer than others, and my son is only three. If you would like to get an email when I post a new one, please sign up at the top of the sidebar!

There will be two versions. One will have complete sentences for all answers and therefore be a little more difficult to memorize. A version with the traditional answers from the Catechism for Young Children, which includes some phrases and fragments, is also available. I am trying to teach my son to answer adults with complete sentences (which is harder than it sounds, for two reasons: One - when children are learning to talk, one word answers are not only accepted, but applauded. Two - I don't always model the best behavior, and this includes the way I speak) so I am continuing that while I teach him the truths of God.

Manipulatives Monday GIVEAWAY from Mother Goose Time - closed

Giveaway closed! Thank you so much to everyone who entered, I really appreciate it! I have excellent news! Today is Manipulatives Monday, and Mother Goose Time is giving away a great prize! One lucky winner will receive TWO bags of manipulatives! Mother Goose Time will chose the prizes, but I assure you, whatever they send will be a lot of fun for your children! Manipulatives are a big hit in our house. Every month we get two new bags of manipulatives, and every month Little Guy asks if he can play with them before the month starts. The answer is always no, but he tries every month anyways. During the month we use them for the assigned activities but after we are done with the curriculum, I let him add them to his toy collection. One thing that is in almost every box is a set of counters. These are often in the shape of animals, which are Little Guy's favorites. They are used for a variety of activities, and are alwa...

Breastfeeding An Adopted Child - The Tenth Day of Christmas

Today we are hearing from Teglene. Her story is pretty long, but trust me, it is totally worth reading through! She also has a great blog, called The Breastfeeding Mother . I always knew I wanted to breastfeed my children. I couldn ’t imagine doing it any differently. I was lucky enough to give birth to two beautiful boys and I enjoyed breastfeeding them both. Not that it was easy or without struggle, but it was what I wanted to do and loved doing it. In fact, I liked it so much, and felt so passionate about breastfeeding that I became a La Leche League Leader, so that I could help other breastfeeding moms. I really took to the idea of “Mothering through breastfeeding”. It wasn ’t just a feeding method for me, but a relationship with my child. My husband and I always talked about adopting a child who needed a family. We thought, if we can’t have kids of our own then we will adopt. Even if we can have kids of our own, maybe we will still adopt. After the birt...
