Don’t agonize, organize
Remember my word for 2009? My goal this week is to CREATE a more organized home. There is a whole list of HUGE projects that have needed attention for some time. I decided this was the week to tackle the majority of them. Yesterday the girls and I used the divide and conquer method to […]
I ♥ Faces Kids: Week 5 Silly
After a half hour of trying to get a good picture of the kids during the last light of the day the baby had had ENOUGH! So I told the girls to make a silly face and this is what I got. This is pretty much how our life is around here anyway. See more […]
The Great Commandment FHE
This lesson helps family members better understand why Love is the greatest commandment given us by God. It is based off Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin’s October 2007 General Conference talk.

Then Semisweet got a big […]

What are some of your favorite ways to show affection to your sweetheart, children, family, friends, etc? © 2007-2013 Chocolate […]
Envelope with Heart Closure
I first saw an envelope similar to this years ago. I love it! It’s not hard but does require a little bit of tracing and cutting. First you’ll need the templates I’ve made. I have three sizes – a 3inch square, a 5 inch square (for 12×12 inch sheets of paper), and one that is […]

In time for Valentine’s Day, this lesson teaches us how to follow Jesus’ example and love everyone. This lesson was put together by Mindy Z. from my FHE Swap. She did a great job! For some reason the lessons are printing really big, cutting some of the images off. The best way to avoid this […]
