My Thoughts:

The League of Incredible is where VeggieTales meets super heroes. If you’re a super hero fan (or even if you’re not), you’re sure to enjoy and laugh at this latest VeggieTales/LarryBoy dvd. Many kids (and adults) struggle with fear, and this story tackles the topic of fear head-on. Junior Asparagus is offered the opportunity to join The League when he helps some of The League members when they were in need. Junior believes that wearing a super suit will help take away all of his fears. He soon learns that even as Richocet he is plagued with many fears. It’s not until he learns the only way to conquer his fears is to trust the Lord that he is finally able to become a true super hero.

We enjoyed this fun VeggieTales play on super heroes. The witty, funny banter in the story had us laughing to the very end. Fear is such a big part of many kids lives that I really appreciate the fact that VeggieTales decided to tackle the topic in a fun way. It was good to have kids see that even super heroes have fears. Even the smallest/youngest among us can do great things with the Lord’s help.

5 Ideas for Fun Lunches: Eggs

Posted in Gluten Free, and Homemaking

When Munchkin was younger, I made fun lunches for her all the time. They weren’t elaborate, but they featured fun food shapes or interesting presentations. It’s interesting how food served just a little differently can bring a smile to a child’s face. Well, here I am with a 13-year-old, and guess what! She still gets a smile on her face when I present her a fun lunch. I guess it’s something that we never grow too old for. This past week, I decided that it had been far too long since I had created Munchkin a fun lunch. My one…
