Yellowstone Through the Kids’ Eyes
For our trip to Yellowstone I thought it would be fun to get the younger ones, who don’t have cameras, their own $5 disposable camera to use on our trip. They were so excited when they found out! Some were very careful with what they took pictures of, others were pretty shutter happy – until […]
Our Trip to Yellowstone
Since you can’t visit Yellowstone right now, I thought I’d share photos of our visit there. I realize they aren’t spectacular in any way and there aren’t a ton of the actual scenery. I was too busy being in the moment to worry about capturing it with my camera. Plus, I’m afraid of heights so […]
Packing for Road Trips With a Large Family
We took the whole family to Yellowstone before dropping my oldest off at BYU-I. We were gone for four days. I love going on trips with my family! Packing for those trips however is a nightmare. Seriously, everyone with their own suitcase or bag (usually we end up with 10), where the clothes gets all […]
She’s gone
Bon Bon is now officially a college student! We miss having her around, hearing her play the piano, eating her fabulous meals but growing up is a part of life. She’s having a great time, has adjusted well with a bit of homesickness but not nearly as bad as we thought she would have so […]
The Traditional Family Still Remains
“In the beginning“. . .these famous words commence the account of the creation. God did not rest until His crowning creation, the family unit of Adam and Eve, was organized. From the very beginning it was ordained that the children of God would come into this world as part of a family unit with a […]
Tell Me a Story
Stories are powerful. It’s why they are a part of every culture. There are legends and myths, fairy tales and fables, and then there are the most powerful stories of all – the stories that bind us together, create in us a sense of place and duty, make us more resilient in times of difficulty. […]

Places, Everyone! by Aleisha
It was a quiet afternoon. Cam was in his crib, taking a much-needed nap. Lilly was contentedly playing in her room with her Fisher Price dollhouse. Though it was chilly outside, golden sunlight was streaming through my windows. It felt warm and cozy in my (momentarily) peaceful house. I went into Lilly’s room to check […]
Happiness in Family Life by Chris Staggs
Who doesn’t like words and actions that evoke joy, happiness, peace, tranquility, confidence, and love? I may not be flowery in my language, but I certainly appreciate words and conversations that bring about those feelings. As partner to my wife raising four boys, ages three to 13, we like to hear our boys complement and […]

The Good Stuff! by April McMurtrey
There are not many television commercials which have left me a better person for having watched them! But there was one, a cotton commercial aired many years ago, which did just that. The scene was in a somewhat messy master bedroom. A mother and father were getting ready for what looked like a special night […]

I know who I am. I know God’s plan. By Michelle Wilson
“Each is a beloved spirit son or daughter of heavenly parents, and, as such, each has a divine nature and destiny.” There is a reason this statement is second only to the fact that we are created by God in His image. Once we know who He is, then we can begin to truly understand […]
Armies of angels and marshmallow hearts: The signs of an eternal family by Kayla Lemmon
I can never read straight through The Family: A Proclamation to the World without stopping at a certain paragraph. It’s impossible, actually. My eyes will read and re-read a few lines at the top until I look up from the page, imagining certain faces that come to life when those words are read. These lines […]
