Does your daughter ever go quiet after a hard day at school, and you can tell there’s more going on than she’s saying? Maybe it’s a friendship that’s gone sideways, a worry she can’t quite name, or just that tender, in-between age where she’s figuring out who she is — and whether she measures up.
As a homeschool mum to a teen girl myself, I know how much of that inner world can stay unspoken. So I created Rooted: A Scripture & Identity Journal for Christian Teen Girls — a free 20-day journal to help her hear what God actually says about her, in the middle of all of it.
This one is a little different from my usual women’s SOAP studies — it’s written specifically for girls around 11–16, in language that meets them where they are, without talking down to them.
What’s Inside
Rooted walks your daughter through 20 short, guided days across four themes:
Identity in Christ — made on purpose, chosen, and loved
Trusting God With Worry — handing over anxious thoughts instead of carrying them alone
Friendship & Belonging — what real friendship looks like, and what to do when it’s hard
Courage & Confidence — stepping out even when she doesn’t feel brave yet
Each day includes:
A Scripture reference to look up and copy out in her own Bible translation
Two honest reflection questions — no “right” answers, just her real thoughts
A simple prompt to turn what she’s feeling into a prayer
A “Today I’m choosing to believe…” line to finish, so she walks away with one truth to hold onto
There’s also a Scripture memory tracker for all 20 verses, and a prayer list page for her to keep bringing things to God and coming back to see how He’s answered.
It’s designed to print in soft, warm tones on the cover, with clean white pages on the inside — easy on your ink, gentle on the eyes, and something she’ll actually want to sit down and write in.
How to Use It
There’s no wrong way to work through Rooted. She can go in order, one day at a time, or flip to whatever theme fits how she’s feeling that day. Some days she might fill the whole page; other days one line might be all she’s got — and that’s more than okay. This isn’t homework, it’s a quiet place to be honest with God.
It’s a lovely one to do together, too. Even just asking “which day did you do today?” can open up a conversation you might not have had otherwise.
A Journal Worth Coming Back To
Twenty days from now, your daughter won’t have everything figured out — none of us do. But she’ll have twenty days of Scripture in her own handwriting, and twenty small reminders of what’s actually true: she was made on purpose, she’s never carrying anything alone, and she belongs.
“That Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith, that you, being rooted and grounded in love…” — Ephesians 3:17
Advent countdowns sound lovely in theory. Something that actually points back to why we’re celebrating, instead of just a chocolate calendar the kids tear through before breakfast. But most Decembers, life gets busy, and it either doesn’t happen or it fizzles out within the first week.
So this year I made something simple enough to actually work: a printable Advent countdown that takes five minutes a day, walks through the whole Christmas story in order, and doesn’t require anyone to have their act together on December 1st.
25 Days of Advent
This is a set of 25 cards, one for each day of December leading up to Christmas. Each card has a short scripture reference, a couple of sentences on what’s happening in the story that day, and one small, doable action to go with it. That’s it. No big devotional book, no half-hour lesson plan — just enough to open, read, and talk about for a few minutes before everyone scatters.
The cards move through the Christmas story in the order it actually happened — starting with the Old Testament prophecies that promised a Savior was coming, through Mary and Joseph’s story, the journey to Bethlehem, the night Jesus was born, and finally the shepherds and wise men who came to find Him. By the time you get to Christmas Day, you’ve walked through the whole story together, one small piece at a time.
What’s on Each Card
Every one of the 25 cards includes:
A short scripture reference for the day
A couple of sentences on what’s happening in the passage
One small action to go with it — nothing complicated, just something you can actually do that day
A date, so you always know which card comes next
The actions are things like sending a Christmas card to someone far away, looking at the stars together, giving away something you don’t need, or just sitting quietly for a minute to think about what Christmas means. Nothing that needs a trip to the shops or a Pinterest-worthy craft table. Just small, doable things that fit into a normal, busy December.
How to Use It
However suits your family best, really. A few ideas:
Envelopes: Cut the cards apart, pop each one in a small numbered envelope, and pin or tape them up somewhere the kids will see them every day.
String and pegs: Peg them onto a piece of string or ribbon in order, like a garland, and move a marker along each day.
Just a pile: Honestly, a stack of cards in a bowl on the table works just as well. Pull the next one out after dinner.
However you set it up, the actual “using it” part looks the same: read the card, talk about it for a minute, do the small action if you can, and move on with your day. Some days that’ll turn into a longer conversation. Other days it’s thirty seconds and everyone’s back to what they were doing. Both are fine.
Why I Made It This Way
The Advent calendars that actually stick around a house are never the fussiest ones. They’re the ones simple enough to keep up with on a Tuesday night when everyone’s tired and dinner ran late. So that’s what I aimed for here — something that respects how a real December actually goes, rather than the version of December we all plan for in November and never quite live up to.
I also wanted my kids to get the whole story, not just the parts that make it into the nativity set. The prophecies matter. Elizabeth’s joy matters. Mary treasuring things in her heart matters. All of it builds toward the same moment, and I think there’s something good about slowing down enough to see the whole thread instead of just arriving at December 25th without much lead-up.
A Few Practical Notes
If you’re doing this with a mix of ages, don’t worry about the younger kids needing to “get” every card. Read it, ask if they noticed anything, and move on. The goal isn’t a perfect theological discussion every night — it’s a habit of pausing together, even briefly, during a month that’s usually anything but quiet.
And if you miss a day (or five), that’s genuinely fine. There’s no prize for a perfect streak here. Pick back up wherever you left off, or double up on a quieter night. The point is the twenty-five conversations altogether, not doing them in perfect, unbroken order.

25 Days of Advent is completely free to download and print at home. It’s designed to hold up fine on regular printer paper, though if you’re planning to reuse it year after year, cardstock will last a lot longer through little hands.
If your family gives it a go this December, I’d love to hear which day sparked the best conversation at your table. That’s always my favorite part of making these.
Wishing your family a slower, more meaningful countdown this year.
There’s a particular kind of love that grandparents carry that’s hard to put into words — not because it’s complicated, but because so much of it lives in the everyday moments. A phone call. A story told for the tenth time. A quiet prayer said over a sleeping grandchild that nobody else ever hears. It’s real, it’s deep, and an awful lot of it never actually gets written down anywhere.
That’s what this printable is for.
What is Dear Grandchild?
Dear Grandchild is a keepsake journal for a grandparent to fill in — either sitting down together with a grandchild, or quietly on their own as a gift to give later. It’s part memory book, part love letter, and part written blessing, blending the stories that make up a family’s history with the faith a grandparent wants to pass down.
It’s not something you’re meant to finish in an afternoon. Some pages might take five minutes. Others might sit half-finished for a few weeks before the right words come. Both are completely fine — the goal isn’t a perfectly completed book, it’s an honest one.
What’s Inside
The journal moves through a few different kinds of pages:
Memory pages — the day they were born, the moment you found out you’d be a grandparent, a favorite memory the two of you share
Legacy pages — a story about your family’s history, the best advice you want to pass down, what you hope they always remember about you
Faith pages — a Bible verse chosen just for them, a written prayer over their life, a blessing to speak or read aloud
A photo page — space to tape or glue in a favorite picture of the two of you together
A closing page — a final note and a place to sign it, “with all my love”
Every page has a short prompt at the top and plenty of room underneath to actually write — no need to keep it brief or polished.
How to Use It
There’s no required order here, so start wherever feels most natural. If you’re doing this with your grandchild sitting right next to you, maybe start with a lighter page — “what makes you, you” is a nice one to begin with, since kids tend to enjoy hearing themselves described. If you’re filling it in privately as a gift, you might want to start with the memory pages while the details are still fresh, and save the faith and blessing pages for a quieter, more reflective moment.
If you’re a long-distance grandparent, this works just as well over a phone or video call — read the prompt out loud, talk it through together, and jot down notes to write up properly afterward. Distance doesn’t have to mean the relationship feels distant.
Don’t feel pressure to fill every line on every page. A few honest sentences will mean more to your grandchild one day than a page filled out just to look complete.
Why I Wanted to Make This
I think about all the things I know about my own grandparents mostly through secondhand stories — memories other people passed along, rather than anything written in their own words. I don’t have anything in their own handwriting, in their own voice, telling me what they hoped for my life or why they chose the things they chose for me.
I wanted to make something that closes that gap a little. Something that captures not just facts — dates, places, names — but the actual heart behind a relationship. The blessing pages especially matter to me; there’s something different about a grandchild being able to read, in their grandparent’s own words, a prayer that was written specifically over their life.
A Couple of Practical Notes
This journal works whether your grandchild is a baby who won’t read it for years, or old enough to sit down and fill in pages with you right now. If they’re very young, consider filling it in on their behalf now and setting it aside for them to receive when they’re older — a kind of time capsule.
It also doesn’t have to be limited to one grandchild if you have several. Print a fresh copy for each one; the prompts are personal enough that each child deserves their own filled-in version, not a shared one.
If you’re not sure what to write for the faith pages, don’t overthink it. A verse doesn’t need a complicated explanation — sometimes “I chose this one because it reminds me of how brave you are” is exactly enough.

Dear Grandchild is completely free to download and print at home. Regular printer paper works fine, though if you’re planning to keep this as a long-term keepsake, printing on cardstock and keeping it in a binder or folder will help it hold up for years to come.
If someone in your life just told you they’ve decided to follow Jesus — or if that someone is you — there’s usually a moment right after the excitement where a quieter question shows up: okay, now what?
It’s a good question. Faith comes with its own language, its own habits, its own rhythms, and none of that is obvious on day one. Most of us who’ve been Christians for a while forget how much we didn’t know at the start, because we picked it up slowly, over years, without really noticing. But if you’re brand new to this, a lot of it can feel like walking into a conversation that’s already halfway finished.
So I made something for exactly that moment.
Meet Where Do I Start?
This is a gentle guide and journal for anyone just beginning to follow Jesus — whether that’s a decision made yesterday or one still being turned over. It’s not trying to teach you everything at once. It covers the basics simply, gives you one small first reading plan, and leaves plenty of room for you to write your own questions and your own story as it unfolds.
It’s also genuinely useful if you’re the one walking alongside someone new to faith — a parent, a mentor, a small group leader, a friend who just doesn’t know quite what to hand them. This is something you could give them, or work through together.
What’s Inside
Four short pages on the basics — what it means to follow Jesus, why the Bible matters, why prayer matters, and why community matters — each with one verse to anchor it
A simple “who you are now” page — six truths that become true the moment someone chooses to follow Jesus, whether or not they feel true yet
A seven-day reading plan through the Gospel of John, with a box to check off each day
A guided “write your first prayer” page, broken into three easy starting points
Two reflection pages — one for questions still being worked through, one for writing out a faith story so far
A practical page to write down people to turn to with questions
A closing page of encouragement
How to Use It
There’s genuinely no wrong order here. If someone’s feeling overwhelmed, I’d actually suggest starting with the “Who You Are Now” page before anything else — it’s short, it’s encouraging, and it sets a tone of belovedness before anything else is explained. From there, the four basics pages can be read in any order, a page at a time, whenever there’s a spare five minutes.
The reading plan is meant to be slow. One short passage a day is genuinely enough — this isn’t about covering ground quickly, it’s about building the habit of actually opening a Bible regularly, which matters far more early on than how much gets read in one sitting.
The journal pages are there for whenever something comes up. A new believer’s first weeks and months are usually full of questions — some exciting, some confusing, some a little uncomfortable — and having somewhere to actually write them down, without needing to have the answer yet, takes some of the pressure off.
Why I Wanted to Make This
I think it’s easy, once you’ve been a Christian for a while, to forget how disorienting it can feel at the start. There’s a temptation to hand a new believer either too much (a dense study Bible and a reading plan through the whole Old Testament) or too little (just a “welcome, glad you’re here” and nothing practical to actually do next). I wanted something in between — enough structure to feel like a real starting point, without so much that it feels like homework.
I also think there’s something powerful about a new believer having their own words on the page early on — their own first prayer, their own first attempt at describing how they got here. Those pages tend to matter more later than they seem to in the moment.
A Couple of Practical Notes
If you’re helping disciple someone new to faith, this works well as something you go through together over coffee or a phone call, a page or two at a time, rather than just handing it over to complete alone. The conversation that happens around the pages is often just as valuable as the pages themselves.
And if you’re the new believer reading this yourself: you don’t need to finish this in a week, or even a few months. Come back to it whenever it’s useful, skip what doesn’t apply yet, and don’t worry about doing it “right.” There isn’t a right way — just a real one.
