Samantha from Pinch of Thyme, The Blog is guest posting today for the Establish a House series. I learned something new from her suggestions! On January 29th, 2015 my family graduated to a “large” family with the birth of our fourth child, Ruby. If you have a “large” family you have often experienced people shaking their […]

Another terrific guest post for the Establish a House series today! Mauri shows us how she tackles all the paper that comes into her home. This is so not my forte! It can come at you from all sides—from work, through the mail, hidden inside backpacks, even out of your computer. PAPER! It is so […]
Inexpensive Summer Activities to do with the Whole Family
Another great guest post today for the Establish a House series! Please welcome George from Educational Kids Games. ‘Fun summer activities for kids’ usually translates to ‘what moms can do with their kids to keep from going crazy during the summer break’. Most of the time, there isn’t place for a second parent in these activities (though, […]
It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God
In the stillness of morning the sun peaks out behind misty mountain tops. Its rays reach out to bathe my room in golden beams of light. The glow is ever so subtle at first; shimmering flecks emerging from darkness dancing all about me. My eyelids flutter open sensing the change as a whispered thought nudges […]

I have a question for you. I have 3 boys (5,3,1, and a new boy coming in August). I am wondering about your experience in having so many children, and what you do to prepare. I have had fairly clear ideas to focus on as I’ve prepared for the births and lives of my other […]
Mothers are Body Builders
Have you ever googled yourself? I decided to give it a go. Pretty sure after seeing the results that I am the only one with my name out there, at least in the United States and maybe the world. Not so with my maiden name. Really! I googled Montserrat Ventura and guess what? There are […]

Embarrassing Mom Moments
The other day, as we were sitting around the table eating lunch, the topic of conversation turned to “Remember when…” Does your family do that? The older girls were laughing at the fun memories of having a fort, pretending to do CPR on a block of wood, finding glass bottles in the antique cars at […]

Elder M Russell Ballard Speaks at 2015 BYU Women’s Conference
I’ve only been to BYU Women’s Conference once, when I was pregnant with Gideon. I LOVED every minute of it! I hope to be able to attend again sometime and take my older daughters with me. There are so many wonderful classes offered, service projects to do, and just an over all feeling of sisterhood […]
How to Talk to Your Kids About Sex
Every Sunday evening my siblings, parents, and I have a Google Hangout where we catch up on happenings in each others’ lives. This past Sunday we somehow got on the topic of how we each had “the talk” with our parents. All kinds of hilarity followed as we recounted embarrassing moments and compared stories. I […]

My Top 5 Pieces of Homeschooling Advice
Advice is a funny thing. It can be bad or good, solicited or not, freely given yet not willingly taken. Why should/would anyone care what I think? I don’t know. As part of Sonlight’s March Blog party celebrating their 25th anniversary all year long we were asked to “Share the best homeschooling advice you have […]
