VBS 2019 is still in full swing all across the country as kids are making some pretty exciting discoveries of the marvelous creatures we share this world with, plus some amazing real-life encounters with Jesus through scripture during the VBS theme In The Wild! While our focus is still set on VBS 2019,  the brilliant minds at Lifeway have been getting the ball rolling on their quest to make VBS 2020 the very best one yet! Earlier this afternoon I was anxiously awaiting their theme announcement on Facebook Live and was ooh-ing and aah-ing at all of the magnificent fun it’s going to be!

Global Hunger, A Mother’s Love and How to Help

May 10, 2019 by Laura Tucker Leave a Comment

Mother’s Day took on a whole new meaning for me 4 years ago. On Mother’s Day 2015, we packed our bags and buckled our newborn baby girl into her car seat and brought her home from the hospital after a long delivery 2 days prior. Since stepping into motherhood, I’ve gained a strength that I could’ve only gained by wearing the title of mother. I see other moms going through their daily struggles of raising children and am encouraged by their strength, and then I open my eyes a bit wider on a more global scope, and I see a new realm of strength that I have never seen before.

My Favorite VBS Find: Custom VBS Shirts from Deo Volente Industries

April 20, 2019 by Laura Tucker Leave a Comment

I’ve received compensation in exchange for my honest review. All opinions expressed are 100% my own. I love sharing VBS resources with my readers!

Vacation Bible School will soon be kicking off all across the country, and team leaders and volunteers are busy gathering up materials, supplies and resources to make sure their VBS is an exciting and fun-filled time for all children (and adults) involved! Each year I put together resources for you related to the different VBS themes to help assist with the behind-the-scenes planning, decorations, crafts, snacks, etc. A lot goes into VBS each year, and it’s one of my greatest joys to help you out along the way!

Two of the most widely used themes for 2019 are In The Wild by Lifeway and Roar! by Group. I was surprised to see that the two themes were so similar this year, but thrilled nonetheless! Both themes are truly amazing, and the content is going to be a roaring good time!

Life Hack: How I Organize My Kids Clothes (Without Losing My Sanity!)

August 10, 2018 by Laura Tucker 3 Comments

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of The Duck Brand for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine.

It’s been 2 weeks since we welcomed the newest little Tucker tot into the world, and finally being able to bring her home into her new nursery brought us so much joy on so many levels! While her first encounter with her room was seeing a perfectly polished nursery with everything in it’s place, it was definitely a different story just a few weeks prior when I was bringing all of big sister’s newborn and baby clothes down from the attic!Duck Pack & Track…
