I first came across Lara’s blog this past summer when she was featured in a Find a Friend Friday post at Diapers & Divinity. Her blog is full of beautiful photography and great inspiration. One thing I know we have in common is our love of music – only Lara can sing (and look great […]

Family Proclamation Photo Essay Blog Hop
We, the First Presidency and the Council of the Twelve Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, solemnly proclaim that marriage between a man and a woman is ordained of God and that the family is central to the Creator’s plan for the eternal destiny of His children.

If you haven’t visited Women in the Scriptures you are missing out. As the name of her blog implies, Heather shares insights into the women of the scriptures. She has a standing challenge to study the scriptures paying particular attention to the women mentioned, the roles they have, the things they’ve done. Some of my […]

I LOVE MY FAMILY!
You already knew that though, right? This past Sunday little Ganache was blessed. (For those not of the LDS faith, a baby blessing is similar to a christening in that it is a naming ceremony but there is no baptism. We don’t believe in infant baptism, rather our children are baptized when they reach […]
