New Year Pictures To Color – 2025
Here are some free printable New Year pictures to color. I don’t know if you agree with me but I think that the year 2024 has gone by so fast! The fact that there are only two weeks left in this year has not yet sunk in for me. Most years, I really look forward to a new year. January, just like September is a month that can feel like a fresh start and hopefully, we feel ready to tackle all the new projects and things that lie ahead. These last few years I have spent at home with our children so September and January haven’t brought many new projects…

Christmas Bible Verse Wallpaper
Here are some images that can be as wallpaper on your phone. This fall I have been trying to not spend unnecessary time scrolling on my phone. One thing I did to remind myself of that goal was to have an image literally saying “stop scrolling” as a lock screen. I see that image many times a day reminding myself to not spend too much time scrolling on my phone. You can find the image I have been using here below. I first thought I would just have it on my phone to get a new habit in but now I am thinking I will just leave it there, I…

Nordic Christmas Stocking – FREE Knitting Pattern
Here is a free knitting pattern on how to knit a Nordic Christmas stocking. I knitted these Christmas stockings with a Nordic pattern a few years ago when our oldest daughter was a baby. She is now seven years old and during these years, two more babies have been born to our family. So, these last couple of years I have tried to knit two more so that each family member would have one. I hope to finish them this year before Christmas Eve. Let’s see how that goes. Anyhow, knitting something specifically for Christmas with red and white yarn is very cozy. So I do enjoy knitting these right…

Here are some short Christmas Bible Verses that are easy to memorize. We are soon in the middle of November and for the first year since I moved to Sweden we are actually planning on celebrating Christmas here, in Sweden this year.

But this year, my parents and at least one sister will come to Sweden and we will get to enjoy a Swedish…

Bible Verses On Loneliness – You Are Not Alone
Here are some Bible verses on loneliness to remind you that you are not alone. One of the lies I think our enemy wants us to believe in is that we are alone. That we need to manage everything in our own strength and that we stand alone in our struggles.

Sometimes life can feel intense, it feels like there is no time to stop and reflect and there is no space to recharge and rest. A couple of weeks ago I had a…

Encouraging Bible Verses When Stressed
Reading some encouraging Bible verses when stressed can be a good way to remember what the Bible says about peace and how God sees us. Before becoming a mom I used to be annoyed about how living in constant stress seemed to be so normalized. When I studied at the university it felt like everyone seemed to be expected to be stressed. Stress seemed to be something everyone just had to deal with. Even if I do agree that all of us face stressful situations that are challenging in many ways, I feel like something is very wrong if we need to live in constant stress every day. I don’t…

A thank you makes us aware that there is someone who appreciates all the work we put into something. A thank you motivates us to keep blessing other people. So even if “Thank you!” are such easy words to express and it can seem…
