Tonight is the last night of Vacation Bible School at my church. It has been an awesome week of making friends, doing crafts, playing games and learning about Ephesians 6:10-18 - The Armor of God! I had learned about the Armor of God several times, but did not have it...

I had so much fun making and designing these silly Mr. Egghead cookies. I originally came up with the idea for my daughter's Easter basket, but then thought it might also be fun to offer at two local coffee shops. Mr. Egghead is available at the Village Eatinghouse (in Pleasant...
