In the Old Testament, women such as Ruth and Esther lived according to what they believed was God’s will, doing their best to love, learn, and lead. Modern daughters of God can do the same.

      Homemade Finger Paint

      Good morning! I have used Dial® brand soaps for years. Did you know that they’ve been one of America’s most loved soap brands for 70 years? Recently they have come up with a breakthrough new line-up, Dial Complete® 2 in 1 Moisturizing & Antibacterial Beauty Bar and Dial Complete® 2 in 1 Moisturizing & Antibacterial Foaming Hand Wash. Yep! That’s both antibacterial AND moisturizing. So now, there’s 2 in 1. Yay! It worked great for the clean up after making this Homemade Finger Paint. So, I won’t mind at all when my kiddos want to do this craft over & over & over again. The recipe is easy & the mess is easy to clean off their little hands with Dial®!
