Thanks Alice! The couch is where it’s at in our house! Even when they’re writing, and I’m like, wouldn’t it be… easier?? at the table?? But at least it gets done, and that’s enough for me at the moment. Thanks for the Bible rec - I’ll check it out!

This is unbelievably relatable, thank you!! I have children the same ages (though only one girl, my eldest).

I have been struggling through trying to do table work with my eldest, but I think I might try couch "wonder time" after reading this. Also, I recommend the God's Big Promises bible that came out last year - it is fantastic.

Allyse, I loved reading this day-in-the-life. Thank you for putting it together. This was my favorite line: "Generally a very brave soul, the poor boy was heaving with big silent sobs until I got him a lemonade iceblock from the freezer, at which point all was fixed and forgotten." - Susie

Completely relate to this stage! The time of group creative play is completely unmatched in life, though it feels crazy all the time. We love the audiobook version of the Jesus Storybook Bible too and I am bookmarking that devotional. Thanks for sharing Catherine.
