Around our house we love playing cards! Obviously, card games look a lot different with kids then they did back before we started our family. We just had to learn to adapt. I did some digging a while back and found some card games to try out that the entire family can play. And they did not disappoint. I had never heard of 3 of these games, and the fourth one is an oldie but a goodie! Rarely a day goes by that we don’t play one of these four games. My kids love them and Brian and I actually enjoy them, too! Click on the pictures of the games to purchase them from Amazon.

I never in my wildest dreams saw myself as a homeschool mom. But, here I am… 50 something lessons into our first “official” homeschool year. It’s amazing how God is preparing you for something and you’re completely oblivious to it at the time. Just living life… Unaware… I can honestly tell you I have always had a pull towards all things teacher. Organization, making charts, word documents, planning, pens, notebooks, calendars, planners, sticky notes… I believe with all of my heart that my desire towards all of those things came from God and that they were given to me for use in my homeschooling journey.

“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.  There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High. God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early. The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted. The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah. Come, behold the works of the Lord, what desolations he hath made in the earth.  He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; he burneth the chariot in the fire. Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.”

Psalm 46
