Welcome to the LizzyLife newsletter!

I'm Elizabeth—wife to Mr. Tall, Dark and Handsome, mom to the four Thompson Crazies, writer of books and blogs and grocery lists—and I look forward to sharing some of the wacky wonderfulness of family life together.

Once a month, I'll send a newsletter with Bible studies and practical parenting tips on living life and building family God’s way. If I’ve got exciting news to share about upcoming books and travels, you’ll be the first to know.

Click the button below to download the welcome gift I promised: seven two-minute devotions to do with your kids! What's a two-minute devotion, you ask? It's a brief Bible-based discussion with kid-friendly applications—short and simple enough to discuss around the breakfast table while you inhale your coffee and cereal. And hey—there's no law against doing these devotions later in the day, if your kids aren't morning people!
