10 Classic TV Shows to Watch with Your Kids | Guest Post from Hannah Anderson

When you were a kid television shows were very different then they are today. Kids don't grow up with the same reruns you did, and they're missing out.

You may even find a few oldies you missed out on.

Easter is tomorrow. What does that make you think of? A new Easter dress? Bunnies and chocolate? An Easter egg hunt?

I think of LIFE. Jesus alive! But also my life transformed. If only's fulfilled beyond our wildest expectations:

Tame Thoughts for Sinking Ships (i.e. Stop Being Stubborn in Your Parenting)
