My favorite fast food restaurant is Wendy’s. Give me a Chocolate Frosty and their french fries and I’m one happy girl. Unfortunately the closest Wendy’s is about 200 miles away. 🙁 When I get a craving for a Frosty I make these Magic Chocolate Milkshakes – which means we make these at least two to […]

The lesson I taught in Relief Society (the women’s organization in our church) Sunday was based on Pres. Thomas S. Monson’s General Conference address from last October Finding Joy in the Journey. His talk could be broken down into three main sections or areas we should focus on to find joy in our journeys. Adapt […]

Wordfull Wednesday: Favorite Genre

As a little girl I loved sitting on my Avi’s (grandpa) lap listening to stories of when he was younger. The hardships his mother faced with grit and ingenuity while her husband was kept in one of Franco’s concentration camps fascinated me. Avi’s own escapades were adventurous and thrilling, though heartbreaking at times. When I […]
