Spring Science Friday Favorites
~Spring Science Activities~ As much as I love the cozy days of winter, I’m kind of ready for a new season. Ready for all the browns to be replaced with greens, for flowers to bloom, and the breezes to be warm. Bring on the spring!

Our Father has the most beautiful table we can imagine (more than we can imagine actually!) set and waiting for us, and a seat there right beside His. His table isn’t just for special times like holidays and banquet feasts. It’s not just for Sunday dinners with family and friends, or even Saturday morning pancake…
