I just found These and they look so wonderful!! Is there a way to print each days devotional so I don’t have to be on my phone while we are doing them? Thanks!!
We do not convert them into PDFs or Word docs, but you are welcome to copy/paste them into documents yourself. One reason for that is because of all the links to the activities, hymns, etc. Another reason is that when we did it the first year, it was actually really time-consuming. Then we discovered that some people were downloading them and passing them off as their own work and even selling them. So we now keep everything here on the blog, but individuals are welcome to print it themselves or copy/paste it into documents that fit their family’s needs.
