News & Updates

I know you haven’t seen a lot of me lately, but I’m still around. This move has been a huge effort and things are calming down. Soon, I will have more time to put into blogging and making new materials…but not just because the move is almost over.

Just wanted to let you all know that I’ll be taking a ‘blogging break’ for the next two weeks. We’ve got a lot of summer fun planned, including our church’s vacation Bible school (I’m one of the leaders) and some time with our extended families.
See you in August with some awesome new posts!

I’ll be updating this list every month, and linking to it from the New Materials page. So, you’ll always be able to check back here and see the new items every month.

It’s been a rainy day here in Chicago (perhaps March will go out like a lion, much as it came in) and I think it’s time for me to spread some sunshine.
To end this fantastic month, I’m giving away a $100 gift certificate to my store. [...]
