As I’ve been reading, pondering, and preparing lessons for my family from the New Testament I’ve come to an even stronger realization than ever before that Jesus Christ understands motherhood. The masses that pressed upon Him. People reaching out to touch Him. His constant teaching and guiding. Gathering children into His arms. Feeding the hungry. […]

Soy Yo (It’s Me)
My cousin shared this video on Facebook last week and it just hit home on so many levels. I totally love the confidence this girl has. She watches others and does her best, not afraid to try new things. Nor does she care what others seem to think. I was that little brown girl with […]
Five Generations of Women
Meet little Thea. I know you have already met her but meet her again! Isn’t she just darling? The mitochondrial DNA she carries has been passed down from mother to daughter for thousands of years. But that is not all that links us together. Thea has now become part of a long-line of faith filled […]
Love My Schedule {giveaway}
Homeschooling many ages of children involves a lot of things. One of the major ones is organization. Keeping our day organized is a MUST if we are to get anything done. We have been using the ideas and tricks from Managers of Their Homes for years. This book has really helped me get a handle on […]

Are You Happy?
Are you happy? Seems like a simple enough question. For many people, though, answering it can be complicated. I’ve often heard people say that they aren’t looking for happiness they are looking for joy, as if being happy is somehow elusive or bad. I am naturally a cheerful person. I am happy! No one has […]
When Your Baby Stops Nursing
It was Monday morning. June 6th to be exact. I sat down to watch some morning news and nurse baby Henry. Little did I know in that moment it would be the last time he would nurse. And I am sad. It’s marks the end of an era in my life. Twenty years of nursing […]
Focusing on Sara
I wrongfully thought once we got Marie sent off on her mission my time would miraculously free up. I forgot we still had two intense weeks of all about Sara. First we had seminary graduation. Two of my students graduated this year! If you don’t know what seminary is here’s a brief overview. LDS high […]
My Favorite Things: Aprons
Another favorite memory I have is seeing my grandmother, Guelita, wearing an apron while she rolled tortillas or filled tamales. My mother also wore aprons while cooking and cleaning. Seeing aprons just brings me a feeling of comfort, a knowing that important work is being done to make a family comfortable and happy. I found […]
My Favorite Things: Music
One of my favorite memories growing up is listening to my dad play his guitar while I fall asleep at the end of the day. My taste in music is influenced greatly by that memory. I usually like simple songs with great harmonies. Songs that don’t require too much instrumentation. I like songs that remind […]
My Favorite Things: Mexican Shirts and Dresses
Summers are hot. I like color. And bringing some of my heritage into my wardrobe means I can wear bright colors and not get hot! I absolutely love wearing Mexican dresses and shirts! They are seriously some of the most comfortable and cool items in my wardrobe. The material is light and airy but not […]

On Loving Life
This past January we had an extra Relief Society meeting that highlighted five sisters. They each shared what some of their favorite things were and as a result we got to know each of them a little better. It was such a good meeting that this past week we did it again with different sisters and I […]
Babies Distort Your Perception of Time
No one told me that constantly having babies in the house distorts your perception of time. We love their first smiles. Their first belly laughs. Look forward to all the new discoveries of hands, toes, clapping, and peek-a-boo. First words of “Dada” or “Mama” and even “No” and “Go.” Chubby fingers wrapped around your heart. […]
