A Last-Minute Memorial Day Treat

May 22, 2026

I needed a quick and easy last-minute treat for our family Memorial Day picnic. I googled and searched online because I couldn’t find my original Scotcharoos recipe.

You might want to double the recipe below because these yummy treats will disappear fast.

Recipe retrieved from:  Kristyn Merkley

Enjoy!

Have a wonderful Memorial Day!

Remember and Honor

Mother’s Day Teacup Craft and “Best Friends with Grandma”

April 15, 2026

I found a free teacup template online and tweaked it for the preschool craft at my church. I added “Happy Mother’s Day” to the front of colored cardstock and cut a slit in the top of the cup for a teabag.  Butterfly stickers completed the project.  It’s so cute! I’m thinking about doing a teapot next year for Mother’s Day.

My friend, Bitsy Kemper, just won The Living Waters Award for her picture book “Best Friends with Grandma”–and it’s not even on the shelves yet! How amazing is that? I’ve been invited to a baby shower this weekend and the invitation suggested we bring a book instead of a card. I wish I had “Best Friends with Grandma” to include with my gift, but I’ll preorder for the July release. You can preorder too!

If you’re curious about Bitsy’s book, check it out here. https://bookshop.org/p/books/best-friends-with-grandma-bitsy-kemper/4b568a3beadfbb92?ean=9781956378474&next=t&next=t&affiliate=12317

Happy Mother’s Day!

Easter Cross Craft

March 11, 2026

I’m always searching online for easy crafts for the preschool classroom at my church. This paper plate cross craft is perfect. And I have all the items needed on hand. Children will love creating these.

Items:

  • construction paper
  • white paper plates
  • glue sticks
  • free printable He is Risen template from Conservamom

I’m also adding a memory verse scripture to the back of the paper plate.

Enjoy.

Have a blessed Easter!

Heart Doily Valentine

January 29, 2026

When I saw a video of this cute Valentine’s Day doily envelope, I knew right away it would be a craft for the preschool classroom at my church. Instead of adding a gift card, I’m placing two snack-size candies inside. I’ll add a memory verse to the back and include a scripture card.

Supplies needed:

  • 10-inch paper heart doilies
  • heart or any type of Valentine stickers
  • scotch tape
  • snack-size candy
  • memory verse/scripture card

Assorted colors — 10-inch doilies

Valentine stickers (I had these on hand).

Fold doily, tape sides

Add two snack-size candies, fold top down and adhere with a Valentine sticker.

ENJOY!
