Christmas Eve the kids dressed up and acted out the Nativity while Mr. Ferrero Rocher read from Luke 2. We watched a movie and then sent them all to bed. Christmas morning everyone came out at 7am (per tradition) and looked at the goods in their stockings. Then we recited The Living Christ before opening […]

Making Gingerbread Houses
We had a wonderful Christmas! The two oldest are back for a couple of weeks break between semesters. If you haven’t noticed I’ve stayed away from the blog to enjoy more time with the family. Today I’m documenting our annual gingerbread house making party. We look forward to it every year! If you click on […]
To infinity and beyond!
Twenty years has gone by way too fast with this wonderful man! Mr. Ferrero Rocher is kind, caring, funny, sweet, self-disciplined, and believe it or not, shy. I am so grateful to be married to such a faithful family man and one devoted to the Lord. He is definitely the love of my life! Here’s […]
Mary, Did You Know {A Study on Mary}
My third child was born one week before Christmas. It was definitely a special time in my life as I reflected on another mother so long ago. It made Christmas extra special that year having a newborn baby in the house. I prepared this study to look further into the life of Mary, the mother […]
2014 Homeschool Blog Awards
Okay, fess up! The Homeschool Blog Awards are currently underway and someone nominated this blog for the Best Blog Design category. Whoever you are I am truly flattered! Making the switch from blogger to wordpress in the summertime has been a big learning curve. There are still a few tweaks I want to make here […]
Angels, From the Realms of Glory
A couple of weeks ago a world record breaking attempt was made and achieved to create the world’s largest live Nativity scene. It was made into a music video featuring David Archuleta, Peter Hollens, and The Piano Guys. I must say I was a bit skeptical at first because of all the hype surrounding the […]
Christmas School 2014
December always seems to be busy. I usually try to plan and prepare before it begins but you know how it goes. Even the best laid plans can get derailed! We’ve enjoyed spending our mornings doing Christmas school. Of course we are doing the scripture advent countdown and I’m also reading a bit each day […]
Snapshots of Life
My daughter is driving us home from Reno right now trying to get some night hours on her driving log before getting her license at the end of the month. To occupy myself while she drives I decided to look at photos on my phone. Here are a few of my favorites from this past […]
A Wadsworth Thanksgiving
I was doubly blessed this year to not only have my birthday fall on Thanksgiving but also have so much family gathered together. ALL of the Wadsworths, except for two, were here as well as my parents. It is quite a crowd. My dad was kind enough to take a giant Wadsworth family photo for […]

Thirty Seven Spins Around the Sun
While people across the country are gathered with family and friends, counting blessings, and feasting I, too, am celebrating, rejoicing, reminiscing on my thirty-seven spins around the sun. Wonderful parents full of laughter, fun and wisdom who sacrificed and worked for me. Passing on stories of faith and fortitude a legacy of ancestors gone before. […]
Walking With the Women of the New Testament {Book Review}
A few years ago I attended a meeting for LDS Philanthropies in Provo, UT. While there I had the pleasure of sitting next to Heather Ferrell who blogs at Women in the Scriptures. She is truly an extraordinary lady! Her passion for the scriptures has helped many people especially as she has shared her insights […]
Eucharisteo – Thanksgiving
This time of year when grateful hearts turn into giving hands, my scripture study focuses on thanksgiving and the commandment we are given to be grateful. Gratitude is not just a commandment from the Lord, “Thou shalt thank the Lord thy God in all things.” (D&C 59:7) It is a commandment with a promise, “And […]
Chocolate Chipotle Chili
Autumn has all of the sudden turned to winter. Light snow flurries have left a dusting on our mountains and the air is just down right chilly. Which makes for the perfect time to make chili! A good bowl warms the whole body. When I first decided to try this recipe of Chocolate Chipotle Chili my […]
Gratitude for the Refiner’s Fire
Have there been times in your life you have felt as if you are going through the refiner’s fire? What has kept you going? I know in my own life it has been my faith in God and the love of my family that keeps me going. I am willing to bet that most people […]
