Cove Fort, UT
On our way home from St. George we stopped at Cove Fort, UT. It is right at the junction of I-15 and I-70. It not only plays a part in early Mormon history but is also a part of Mr. Ferrero Rocher’s family history. His great-great-grandfather Ira Nathaniel Hinckley was called by Brigham Young to […]
St. George LDS Temple
After hiking the volcano and a quick stop at Milne Jewelery (oh goodness how it was SO hard to make that a quick stop with daughters!) we took all the kids to see the St. George LDS Temple. Mr. Ferrero Rocher’s brother was married there, which is also the last time Mr. FR and I […]
We Climbed a Volcano!
Last week we took a trip to visit Mr. Ferrero Rocher’s sister in St. George, UT. One of the things we did was hike up Cinder Cone Trail to the top of this cinder cone volcano. There are actually two parts to the trail or two ways up to the top – straight up 500 […]

My Treasures
Last week was our Spring break. We traveled together visiting some sights in southern Utah (more about that later). And then, yesterday, we spent the whole day together just relaxing, listening to beautiful music, attending church, and eating a delicious dinner. I can’t help but feel overwhelming gratitude for this family of mine! I love […]
Happy Easter!
Just a few wonderful links and videos for today to help you celebrate Easter. The Mormon Tabernacle Choir gave a live performance of Handel’s Messiah Friday evening. They were so surprised by the reaction of the public when it was announced they would give this concert (the tickets were gone in 7 1/2 minutes!) that […]
The Amateur Naturalist
I know Christmas was over 3.5 months ago but I just have to rave about one of the gifts Fudge received. She is my nature lover. She is the first to notice any hint of growth from plants in the spring. She talks to flowers, watches for bugs, and just enjoys being outside whenever she […]
Jesus is the Living Christ
I belong to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I am a Christian, regardless of what some, who do not understand my faith, may say. I believe in Jesus Christ. I know He is my Savior. I have learned this truth from studying the Bible AND The Book of Mormon. The Book of […]
#StartingToday . . . What Will You Do?
Outside we are seeing evidences of the hope that spring brings. Nests are being built, flowers are beginning to bloom, the earth is shaking off its cold covering and awakening from a winter’s slumber. Witnessing nature’s renewing turns our thoughts to Jesus Christ “and all things which have been given of God from the beginning […]
Because of Him
Because of Jesus Christ I know that death is not the end. We will all live again! As Easter Day nears and we celebrate that glorious resurrection, His resurrection, we are given hope. Hope that we can start anew each and every day. Hope that through His grace we can be renewed and made whole. […]
A Year with Six Sisters’ Stuff {Review & Giveaway}
You know how sometimes (many times?) dinnertime rolls around and you just don’t know what to cook? Or, if like me, you plan meals in advance but are always looking for new ideas or combinations of foods? Or what you planned just doesn’t sound good so you go looking for something else to cook for […]
