The Family: A Proclamation to the World
We have on our wall our family picture and surrounding our picture are words that are so dear to Trent and I but as a family we have yet to really dive into its meanings and study it. For the next 9 weeks for our Family Home Evenings we will be breaking down this document paragraph by paragraph in hopes that our children will understand why this document is so special and so pivotal to our day in time....
Read MoreMy Holy Places
Have I created a holy place for myself? This is the question that ran through my mind as I listened to www.lds.org/broadcasts/article/general-young-women-meeting/2013/03/your-holy-places?lang=eng talk from Sister Dibb at the general young women meeting. The more I thought about it later I not only thought of myself but my family. Are my children feeling the spirit in my home? Are they creating a safe holy place for them to enjoy like I have? As I thought of my own I have also thought of the tender mercies that too that have allowed me to have unusual experiences in the most unforseen times...
Read More3 Questions Book of Mormon Challenge
I’ve been looking for a creative way to study the Book of Mormon lately and to really dive into what I need to know for me as a daughter, wife and mother. I came across this wonderful post at the moment I needed to read it. It is written by a dear friend of mine whom I have grown to love and adore her words of wisdom.

Read MoreGarden of Gethsemane Lesson
I was asked by my bishop to share in the 5th Sunday combined lesson with Young Women and Young Men about the experience Christ had in the Garden of Gethsemane. I was overwhelmed at the task because of the nature of the topic. It’s so close and dear to so many of us. I began my thoughts with my experience with the Mormon Channel. I shared how much I listen to it and one day found an answer to my prayer about this talk. They were reading a book and shared this excerpt. It was a paragraph in “Our Search for Happiness” by M Russell Ballard. He talks of a firefighter who goes...
Read More30 Days of Easter
I’ve been needing to add to my holiday tradition box of ideas for my children. I came across this one recently and was really excited to put it together for my children. I printed it off and laminated it for extra durability for the years to come. Plus now that I have these trees I put them to good use and I just might continue to add to them for each...
Read More“Beautiful”
My new stake held a meeting for all women and girls ages 12 and older. It was a great night to be surrounded by women I don’t even know yet but yet feel loved by each one as they smiled or said hi to me. The meeting began with a mother/daughter combo who tagged teamed and compared fishing to Satan and how we can easily get “lured” in by the things we are surrounded by. They mentioned Appearance, Movies, Self image, etc. We deal with these pressures daily and to help combat them and not get deceived by Satan we need to arm ourselves by doing the good things and thinking...
