Isn’t this Easter candy box delightful? It resembles a decorated egg but extra care and thought was put into the design. The amazing Melissa Esplin created this beautiful Easter candy box for the #hallelujah campaign in partnership with Mormon.org and Sugardoodle. Each part of the design, though ordinary looking, has a deep religious meaning. […]
Easter Pop-Up Card & Nesting Easter Envelopes
Twelve more days until Easter! I love celebrating with my family, dying eggs, crafting, reading scriptures, etc. This year we created Easter pop-up cards to send to family and friends. Pop up cards are simple to do but the “wow” factor makes them extra special. To begin gather these supplies. Cardstock for the card Scrapbook […]
Three Gardens and the First Easter FHE
Elder Bruce R. McConkie gave a powerful talk in General Conference called The Purifying Power of the Atonement. It would end up being his last talk as he died three weeks later. In that talk Elder McConkie said, “As we read, ponder, and pray, there will come into our minds a view of the three […]
#Hallelujah
Easter is only two weeks away! I am so excited! For the next week I am teaming up with Mormon.org, Sugardoodle.net, and six other bloggers to bring you a wonderful array of Christ focused Easter activities and crafts to do with your family. It will be amazing! Today three new videos were released to celebrate […]
Starting Demolition
We have been in our new kitchen/dining room plus laundry, pantry and school room addition for a whole year now. I can hardly believe it! I had planned on sharing all about it but we were so busy with Eve’s wedding, then baby Henry was born, then we were farming, etc. etc. I just haven’t […]
#MyForeverFamily Challenge
You may have noticed all my posts last week centered on family history. I loved writing about the ways we “do” family history! It doesn’t have to be boring. We make the dash between the birth and death dates of our ancestors come alive. You can too! I have joined with 14 other bloggers this […]
Map Your Family Roots
Spain. Mexico. England. Wales. France. Germany. Ireland. You say you know where your ancestors are from. But do you really? Have you ever looked at a map to see exactly where they were born, lived, and died? Websites like Rootsmapper and Kinmapper are fun to do with your kids. It’s neat to see new points pop […]
The Kids’ Book of Family Stories
One of my favorite gifts ever is this simple little book, The Kids Book of Family Stories, that my grandmother put together for Christmas one year. As you can see my own copy has been very much loved. It starts off with a tree listing surnames in my family line. It is divided into two […]
Using Dolls to Share Family History Stories
As part of our female family history unit study my mom came up with this ingenious idea! My girls love their American Girl Dolls so my mom thought, “Why not use those dolls to share family history stories?” She sewed doll outfits to represent our different ancestors. This outfit represents the ones my sister, Vanessa, […]
Female Family History
Julie B. Beck once said, “We study our history to learn who we are. There is a worldwide hunger among good women to know their identity, value, and importance.” Though Sister Beck was talking about learning the history of Relief Society, I think this applies to our family history as well. The Relief Society began […]
Fun Ways to Display Old Family Photos
This quote is one of our favorites when we talk about our ancestors. We would not be where we are or who we are without their sacrifices and examples. Because they mean so much to us we like to tell their stories and display their pictures so our children come to know them. They are […]
Always There are Those Angels
I had an experience almost two months ago that I’ve felt I needed to share but haven’t because, well, there’s always the question “Why didn’t that happen to so-and-so but it did to you?” And I don’t know the answer. The best explanation I’ve found is at the end of the movie “The Cokeville Miracle”. If […]
The Nevada Caucus
I was a volunteer last night for our precinct at the Nevada Caucus. If you get the photo above, good for you! It was a silly joke my husband made at lunch yesterday asking what time the “rooster rump” was. 😉 I thought I would take a lot of pictures but was way to busy! […]
Sabbath Scenes
Here’s a glimpse of what Sundays are like around here. Church starts at 11am this year so there is a lot of time to fiddle around before we have to leave. Before church: Here’s a clip of the song Julia was playing. A little Sunday entertainment by six year old #Julia Book of Mormon Stories […]
Visiting Guelita
After our time in Provo we headed to the other side of Salt Lake to visit Guelita, my last remaining grandparent. She is 94 years old and strong! She was so excited to see Henry and hold him. She sat in this chair turning him around, talking to him, and laughing with him for over […]
