The blog at reformedmama.com, sharing what we do (and why we do it) relating to the children's catechism and Scripture as well as a healthy dose of encouragement for Christian moms.
Today we'll be covering Questions and Answers 6, 7, and 8 from the Children's Catechism! And I've also included a free simple printable to use with your young kids too!
