Am very excited because I've just ordered "My ABC Bible Verses: Hiding God's Word in Little Hearts" by, Susan Hunt. Each letter of the alphabet has a corresponding Bible verse and is accompanied by a story to illustrate the scriptural passage.
Since my daughter is able to read books from memory I figured it was time to start memorizing scripture. Our meal times will include a letter of the day {from the book} as we hide God's word in our little one's heart. My encouragement comes from:
Deuteronomy 11:18-19 (NIV)
18 Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. 19 Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.

Rebecca, what a wonderful book! I wish I'd had it when mine were little. One of my favorite authors is Susan Hunt. Have you read her "Spiritual Mothering"? Really good.
And, you hit a cord with me. That scripture in Deuteronomy is tender to my heart. After a teaching on it at my church years ago, I had scripture stenciled on my archway, in our entry way. It stands as a reminder of putting His words on the doorposts of our hearts.
Great Blog! I'm your newest follower. And, I am married to a former copy myself. I'm heading in to dispatch at our local Pd in a couple of hours! Nice to meet you, Mrs. Pistol-pakin'mama ;O)
I think this is absolutely wonderful!
ps: I found you on the Friendly Friday link party.
