Subscription Gifts for Kids and Teens

Nov 27, 2019 · by Jessica Hewitt

A few years ago, we started searching for toy and gadget alternatives for Christmas and birthday gifts because adding more ‘stuff’ to the shelves and toy bins with each holiday began to feel excessive. With five kids, our accumulation was getting a bit ridiculous. In our quest, we stumbled upon subscriptions as gifts, and we’ve […]

Bible Verses for Depression

Nov 12, 2019 · by Jessica Hewitt

In times of depression, our own feelings and thoughts often betray us. The Truth that we so firmly believe becomes clouded by sadness, doubt and guilt. “Feelings are real, but they are not reliable.” One of my church’s pastors, Todd Wagner, often says this when he is reminding us that our feelings aren’t to be […]

Another Season Passes

Nov 3, 2019 · by Jessica Hewitt

I don’t mean the weather, though it finally does feel like winter here in Texas. I’m talking about motherhood. There are so many phases we walk through as moms, and as each fades behind me I find myself sad to see it go. Even when it seems silly and small. The latest – swing sets. […]

Resource Junkie

Oct 13, 2016 · by Jessica Hewitt

I’m a researcher by nature. And I am a control freak I struggle with control issues. I’ve learned that whenever I’m faced with a decision or problem, my primary coping mechanism is to research. I reach out for advice from people I respect. I scour the Internet. And I read. I suppose somewhere in my subconscious I believe that if I gather […]

Microsoft did quite the makeover on Windows in its latest version, Windows 10. As a mom, my favorite feature enrichment is the improved Family Settings. The newest version provides greater control over children’s technology usage, allowing content filters and screen time limits.

How To Setup Custom Family Email Accounts

Apr 29, 2016 · by Jessica Hewitt

In my last post, I made the case for why you should create email accounts for all of your children at a pretty early age. Realizing that most moms aren’t as geeky as myself, I wrote this post to tell you how to actually do it. Believe me, it really isn’t difficult at all. Choose a […]

Why You Need to Set Up Email Accounts for Your Kids

Apr 28, 2016 · by Jessica Hewitt

In today’s world, everyone needs their own email addresses – even kids.  And they need them much earlier than you might expect. Why so early?  Initially, your child won’t need an email account as much for reading and sending emails, as she will need it to use for website registrations and logins.  Most websites that require an account, […]

Child Safe Settings For The iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch

Jun 2, 2015 · by Jessica Hewitt

We’re a pretty geeky family.  Well, the husband and I are, at least.  Our kids are tech-savvy, but that’s just a product of growing up in America today.  I don’t think it necessarily earns you the ‘Geek’ title.  Come to think of it, I’m not exactly sure what the requirement is these days. At any rate, technology is […]

If you’ve been around here very long, you know one of my hot topics is community.
