November is possibly my favorite month (Do I say that every month?). And Thanksgiving is definitely just about my favorite holiday. I love to spend time focusing on gratitude and intentionally remembering the over-abundance of blessings I have been given. In that vein, I am delighted to share some Thanksgiving journal inserts with you today. These inserts are coloring pages. […]
I’ve been on a mission to focus our Christmas celebrations more fully on Christ. (Check out my Names of Christ Advent for one way we’ve been doing that over the past couple of years.) It’s tough to do since so much of the marketing and conversation with kids at this time of year is focused on Santa and toys. I am pleased […]
This month is full of cozy, heartwarming reads, perfect for October. I only finished 4 books this month. But they were all simply amazing. The Blue Castle by L.M. Montgomery *Contented Sigh* This book is definitely going to make my top ten list for the year. I felt so sad when it was over. A tad predictable? Yes. But also […]
I adore pumpkins. Seriously. I think they’re so adorable and fallish and half of what I grow in our limited garden each year is different varieties of pumpkins. Just so I can heap them all over our porch and mantel. I love to eat them, I love to draw them. I have more pumpkin decor than anything else in my […]
I’ve mentioned before that I’m working on earning my second LDS Personal Progress medallion (did you know moms can earn them with their daughters? It’s been such a joy to work on it along with my 13 year old daughter). One of the projects is to prepare for and receive your patriarchal blessing (Individual Worth #2). I received mine as a […]
Friends, I’m a busy Mama. I have four kids who I happen to homeschool. They are with me all the day long. I have lots on my plate and so many hobbies that it’s starting to become a concern. I want to keep my life straight, but I have no interest in spending hours upon hours decorating my to-do list. […]
As I write this, rain is drumming on the windows. Autumn is my favorite season and it is finally here. Soccer season has begun and I am so ready for cooler weather, canning some pears, sweaters and “Birthday Season” (all four of our kids have birthdays that fall within a ten week period). I’m happy to share what I’ve been […]
This project has been in the back of my mind for months. I am so delighted to share it with you today. One of the options for a 10 hour project for the LDS Personal Progress Program (a program to help LDS girls ages 12-18 set and achieve goals in all aspects of their lives) is to memorize The Living Christ. […]
This little (okay, not so little, it’s 215 pages) book has been such a labor of love. And I’m incredibly delighted to share it with you today. This study guide is designed to help your family understand and apply the stories in the Book of Mormon in your everyday life. You will dive deeply into the scriptures and strengthen your […]
I love this time of year! Even though not a ton changes for us at “back to school” season, I still look forward to fall and the return to routine. This will be our 8th year of homeschooling (how is that possible?!) and I still feel like every year just keeps getting better. I’m excited to share our homeschool plans […]
