💰 How To Make a Coin Cardboard Home Bank – by ABBY 🏠

Hi! I’m Abby 👧 and today I want to show you how I made my very own Coin Bank using just cardboard, glue, and a little creativity! It's fun, easy, and perfect if you want to save your coins at home in a cute way.

Let’s get started!

What You’ll Need:

  • An empty cardboard box (like a cereal box or shoebox)

  • Scissors ✂️ (ask an adult for help!)

  • Glue or tape

  • A ruler

  • A pen or pencil

  • Color paper, markers, or stickers (to decorate)

  • Optional: A coin slot stencil or small blade (with adult help)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Choose Your Box

Pick a small cardboard box that’s not too big. I used an old cereal box!

2. Cut a Slot for Coins

Mark a rectangle at the top (about 4cm long and 0.5cm wide). Then, carefully cut it out with scissors or ask an adult to help use a small knife.

This is where your coins will drop in!

3. Seal the Box (Almost!)

Seal the box using glue or tape—but don’t seal the bottom completely. Leave a flap or make a small opening you can open later when you need to take your money out.

4. Decorate Like a Pro! 🎨

Here comes the fun part!

  • Wrap your box in colored paper.

  • Add drawings—hearts, stars, your name, even a “DO NOT OPEN!” label.

  • Use stickers, glitter, or anything you love.

I called mine “Abby’s Savings Bank 💸” and added smiley face stickers!

5. Test It!

Drop a few coins in and shake it—if they stay inside and don’t fall out the bottom, you did it right!

🧠 Why I Love My Coin Bank

  • It helps me save coins instead of losing them around the house.

  • I can watch it fill up little by little—which feels exciting!

  • It makes me feel responsible and proud of saving money.

  • And... I MADE IT MYSELF! 😄

 Final Tip from Abby:

Whenever someone gives you a coin—don’t spend it yet!
Drop it in your bank and wait until it’s full. Then you can open it and use your savings for something special or even give to someone in need.

Saving is awesome. And when your bank is homemade? Even better.

Happy saving!

Does Age Difference Matter in Relationships?

  When the Lady is Older Than the Man Topic: Does Age Difference Matter in Relationships? Especially When the Lady is Older Than the Man (or the Man is Much Older) By: Coach Davie INTRODUCTION – LET'S TALK REAL: Hey family! So recently, I got hit with a question that honestly made me chuckle—but also had layers of wisdom hiding underneath. Someone asked: “😂😂… Coach Davie, should age difference be a factor to consider, especially when the lady is older than the gentleman? ” Now, I know that question is on a lot of people’s minds, especially in this generation where traditional relationship dynamics are shifting. So I thought—let’s unpack this properly. Tonight, I want us to look at both sides of the age gap coin : When the woman is older When the man is older   We’ll look at benefits , challenges , some biblical perspective , and even what research says about this. Because at the end of the day, age might be just a number—but maturity, purpose, and vision are what make a...

When She Finally Understood His Role...

  "When She Finally Understood His Role..." A story every couple needs to hear As a relationship coach and mentor, I’ve walked with many couples through seasons of frustration, misunderstanding, and silent tension. But one story still sticks with me—because it mirrors the unspoken struggles so many homes are facing today. Let me tell you about James and Lydia. The Marriage That Was "Fine"—But Fading When James and Lydia came to me, they weren’t on the verge of divorce. No drama, no scandal, just… distance. Lydia felt emotionally abandoned. James felt misunderstood and tired. They were doing life together—raising kids, managing bills, going to church—but the connection was thinning out. Lydia put it like this: “Coach, he’s a good man. But he’s not present. He doesn’t talk. He doesn’t help as much as I need. I feel like I’m carrying this marriage alone.” When I asked James how he saw things, he said something that stopped me: “I don’t know what else to do, Coach. I w...

The Quiet Exit of a Good Man

The Quiet Exit of a Good Man By Coach Davie Lisa didn’t think she was doing anything wrong. She loved Caleb. He was thoughtful, consistent, the kind of man who showed up—not with fancy words, but with steady actions. He wasn’t the loudest in the room, but his presence was calming. He made her feel safe. That should have been enough. But over time, things shifted. It started with the comparisons.      “Why can’t you be more like Tasha’s husband? He takes her on surprise dates.” “Look at how Alex plans ahead—why don’t you think like that?” Caleb never argued back. He just smiled softly. But something in him grew quieter with each word. Then came the moments when he just wanted to be alone. Lisa panicked every time.      “Are you avoiding me? What did I do wrong? Are you upset?” What she didn’t realize was that solitude wasn’t rejection—it was how Caleb recharged. His quiet time was his way of processing the weight of life. But instead of space, he felt press...
