This week, my preschool class and I experienced a heartbreaking reminder of how important it is to show kindness and support during difficult times. Our sweet front desk lady unexpectedly lost her mom, and my Pre-K 3 students wanted to do something special for her.
Since young children don’t always have the words to express sympathy, I created a simple, heartfelt coloring card they could decorate with love. It gave them a way to show they care while practicing empathy in a developmentally appropriate way.
I wanted to share this free printable with you, in case your little ones ever want to brighten someone’s day during a hard time. Just print, color, and let the kids add their own special touches. 💐
If you’re raising little readers, chances are you’ve come across Biscuit the Dog. This lovable, curious puppy has been winning the hearts of preschoolers and early readers for decades. Written by Alyssa Satin Capucilli and illustrated by Pat Schories, the Biscuit series is filled with short, sweet stories perfect for children just beginning their reading journey.
In my house, Biscuit books have been a favorite bedtime choice for years. But when I went searching online for Biscuit the Dog craft ideas to go along with our reading, I was surprised at how little there was available. That’s why I decided to round up my own collection of Biscuit-inspired crafts and activities. I even designed a free handprint craft printable just for my readers, so you can enjoy a fun keepsake activity with your kids too!
Whether you’re a parent, a preschool teacher, or a homeschooler, I hope this list helps you bring the magic of Biscuit into your classroom or home.
When most people think about debt, they imagine the simple act of owing money and
needing to repay it. But debt is rarely that straightforward. Its impact extends far beyond
bank balances, shaping decisions, opportunities, and even relationships. For some, the
question becomes, what is debt forgiveness? Debt forgiveness occurs when a lender
cancels part or all of what is owed, providing relief to the borrower. While this can ease
an individual’s immediate burden, it does not erase the broader ripple effect debt has
already created in a person’s life. Debt touches nearly every aspect of daily living, and
its influence can last for years, even after balances are cleared.
Did you know that 40% to 50% of first marriages in the U.S. end in divorce, but this rate has been declining since 2024? Divorce is a serious family problem, but it is not the only issue that families may face.
Family problems are complicated and challenging to handle. These problems can affect your future and that of your loved ones, too. Handling of family law issues may differ by state. For example, the average child support payment in California can be distinct from other jurisdictions.

Let’s learn the various legal services family law attorneys provide for their clients.
This September, a beautiful new animated film is coming to theaters: Light of the World. Opening nationwide September 5 (with special early showings beginning September 4), this movie is a heartfelt, hand-drawn retelling of the Gospel story through the eyes of John the Apostle. As both a believer and a parent, I found it to be more than just a film, it was a spiritual experience that reminded me of the hope, love, and redemption at the heart of the Christian faith.
