I meant to post this before the Celebrate Family festivities started but ran out of time. Here’s a look at what a typical day looked like for us in the summer. Now I’ll have to do one for autumn, winter, and spring! Look for those in the future. ********************************** 3:00 AM – The men go […]

General Conference Highlights
8 hours of watching the television this weekend, writing 15 pages (front and back) of notes, only having to tell the younger children oh, I don’t know, at least 6 or 7 times each session to be quiet (that amounts to 25 -30 times total), being together with my family in the living room, eating […]
Flight
(image credit) Harry Emerson Fosdick once wrote: “Some Christians carry their religion on their backs. It is a packet of beliefs and practices which they must bear. At times it grows heavy and they would willingly lay it down, but that would mean a break with old traditions, so they shoulder it again. But real […]
Family Proclamation Celebration Posts
The Family: A Proclamation to the World has been a fixture and a guide about families for members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints since it was first read by President Gordon B. Hinckley in the General Relief Society meeting on September 23, 1995. It has been spoken of, quoted, memorized and […]
One + One + One = MANY
Early this year I wrote the following in another blog post: “It only takes one. One person to make a difference in the life of another. At times, when we look at all that is wrong in the world, we feel lost. Where do we start? There is so much that needs to be done! […]

8 Ways to Be the World’s Greatest In-Law
Our next guest blogger doesn’t even need an introduction! Michelle, who blogs at Scribbit, lives in Alaska with her family. Her blog covers everything – food, parenting, movies, Alaska, etc. etc. She even wrote an e-book about blogging for women. She is so versatile! Which is probably why her blog is so popular.

Family Proclamation FHE Blog Hop
Can you believe we are in the final week of our Family Proclamation Celebration? This month has gone by so quickly. I can’t thank our guest bloggers enough for their words and thoughts about FAMILY.

You Are a Lioness at the Gate
I count our next guest blogger, Meg, as one of my mentors. She is so wise! I enjoy hearing her opinions and reading her thoughts. Like Andalucy, she is another kindred spirit. ********************************************* Modern-day Mother in Zion © Anita Mae Hart-Carroll oil on board, 8th International Art Church History Art CompetitionPrints can be purchased by […]
Being a Mother
I don’t even know how to begin describing our next guest blogger. Sarah is talented in so many ways! She is gifted in writing the ins and outs of motherhood – the good days and the bad days. She has a talent for keeping her home organized and I say talent because her children run […]

Family Councils
I first “met” our next guest poster years ago online through an LDS homeschool yahoo group. In the words of Anne Shirley, “She is a kindred spirit.” Take it away, Andalucy! *************************************** We are counseled as members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to hold regular Family Home Evenings and family councils.

Hard Work and Independence
Lately as my mind does it’s regular getting-distracted-from-the-task-at-hand thing my thoughts keep jumping into this place in my brain called the “worry section.” This part of my brain is full to overflowing with worry of all sorts, but most prominent these days is worry about how to teach my kids to be hard workers. I […]
Teaching Our Children to Love
When I was a teenager, I, like probably many of you, knew I had all of the answers and that my parents especially my Dad could learn some things. I remember one night a heated conversation turned into an argument between my father and I. I remember going to bed feeling completely misunderstood with tears […]
