Great to be Back!

Sorry for the long and unexpected hiatus!!! After several weeks of frustrating computer issues, followed by a little vacation with the family, I am back up and ready to blog!

With summertime upon us, I am sure we are all looking for tons of creative ideas to do with our kids. I hope you are inspired with some of the postings to come!

As always, please send your ideas and pictures! Love to post about you and your creative kiddos :)

Oh No - Computer Issues

I wanted to send a quick note of apology to my readers and followers for being absent for the last week! My computer is having some major issues and despite tons of hours of tech support, they remain unsolved for now :( I wanted to send a quick post that I am thinking of you all though and hope to be back online very soon! In the mean time, if you could continue to send your project ideas that would be great!!

Thanks again for your understanding! Holly

Armed Forces Day Ideas - The Power of Prayer

Type: prayer
Age: over 2

Recently I was visiting another church in town when a colorful display in the parlor caught my eye. It was a simple table draped in American flags and it contained information about members of the congregation serving in the armed forces. In addition to a display board listing all these heroes, there were similar prayer lists with the names you could take home as well as information about individual soldiers. Listed on a half sheet of paper was the basic information: name, location, rank and then a specific prayer request. Often loved ones had attached emails received from the solider or other updates. I could hardly tear myself away! It was so interesting to read their stories and to know that I could take this piece of paper home and offer a very specific request for him or her through prayer. I have blogged previously about prayer here, but it is certainly worth talking about again, as its impact is so powerful.

I'm sure most of you reading this know someone who is currently serving in our armed forces, so I encourage you and your little heart to begin to pray for that person. Reading the updates from the soldiers, it was apparent how much it meant to them to know that people back home were thinking of them and praying for them daily. Give it a try!

Celebrate Armed Forces Day

On May 15th our country will be recognizing those who have and are currently serving in our armed forces. In celebration of this, the little hearts project will be posting ideas for the next week and a half on how you and your little heart can participate as well.

If you have ideas, stories, projects, organizations or any other related items that we can pass along to others to honor our armed forces, please send ASAP! Check back soon for ideas!
