David and Goliath Old Testament paper dolls are such a fun addition to family scripture study and family home evening. They help little ones learn the scripture stories so well! I’m dropping in today with the next installment of our Old Testament stories paper play sets. If you saw the first paper play set I shared (Jonah and the Whale) […]
One of my primary goals as a mom is to infuse my children with the word of God. I’ve found such comfort from scripture, I hope I can pass that love and comfort on to my kids. Each morning, we review the scriptures we’ve memorized. Read more about how we’ve done this here. If you want to do something similar in […]
I have been dreaming up a foolproof method to keep my kids engaged and quiet during LDS General Conference this weekend. Eight+ hours of sitting still and listening to uplifting speakers sounds like heaven to me, but it’s not quite as enjoyable for active, busy little people.

She asked what he wanted to be when he grew up and he immediately responded, “A King and a Dad.” She then asked what his […]

I have always adored adding little illustrations to my journals. Even as a child I cut and pasted little magazine pictures into my journals, and then as a […]
