When my kids were younger, I took them often to the summer kids movies.  It’s been a few years, but I think we will be heading to a few of these.  It’s always fun to watch movies on the big screen.  This summer, University 16 Cinemas has a line of up movies for the kids.  Admission is $2, Popcorn is $2, and Drinks are $2.  These shows can be seen on Tuesdays and Thursdays in June and July.  Doors open at 9:15 AM and movie starts promptly at 10:00 AM.

Here’s the lineup:

• June 7 & 9: Tom & Jerry The Movie
• June 14 & 16 : Trolls World Tour
• June 21 & 23: SCOOB!
• June 28 & 30: The Croods – A New Age
• July 5 & 7: Space Jam
• July 12 & 14: Sing 2
• July 19 & 21: Boss Baby
• July 26 & 28: Sonic the Hedgehog

 

 

We have been homeschooling ever since we had our oldest child nearly 19 years ago.  It definitely wasn’t something I planned to do, it just happened.  I’ve been a fan of Kirk Cameron for years and I cannot wait to watch his latest, The Homeschool Awakening.  It will be in theaters June 13 &14.

Join award-winning actor, Kirk Cameron, as he dives into the adventures of dynamic American families on a mission to put fun and faith back into learning. The Homeschool Awakening explores the ins, outs, and honest answers to homeschooling’s most frequently asked questions.

It’s always fun to get mail, and especially when it it something that will keep the kids busy for a bit.  We recently heard about Kids Faith Krate and were offered a June Camp Krate to check out for you guys.  I received crafts and supplies for two children, my 6 year old and my 11 year old.

About Kids Faith Krate:

Founder Lynsey is a former teacher, now stay at home mom of two. After praying about how the Lord wanted her to begin discipleship with her children, God revealed an even bigger plan that grew into Kids Faith Krate.

What’s Inside?

Kids Faith Krate crafts change from month to month and are best suited for ages 4-10.

1. Four weekly Bible lessons to do with your child!

2. Four crafts to go along with each week’s lessons.

3. A new stamp every month to add to your Stamp Collection for scripture memorization!

*Boxes ship on the 28th of each month and shipping is FREE!

Our Thoughts:

I have been very impressed with our box.  It shows each step in making the craft and also starts each craft time with scripture.  There are questions to chat about while the craft is being made to help deepen the lessons.

We kicked off our box with week 1.  We read verses and chatted about having compassion for the hungry.  The craft we made was a bread napkin!  It is encouraged to make bread and give the bread and bread napkin to a friend in need.  The kids both enjoyed making this and we loved our conversations.

They turned out so cute! I’ve been so impressed with the crafts and lessons that I am already considering these for future gifts.  These crafts and lessons made me think of VBS and how simple talks about Jesus can create a foundation for their lifetime.
