Visions of Hope {Book Review}
Can you be taught by looking at a piece of artwork? What if you study the details, the way the light dances around a figure, the expression of peace or even confusion on a face, the colors that were chosen? Visions of Hope: An Illustrated Portrayal of God’s Plan for Us by fine artist Annie […]
Meet the Mormons
Long time followers of my blog know I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, more commonly known as Mormons. This week has been (and will be) all about my Mormon faith. I’m hoping it doesn’t drive some of you away. Sometimes it’s just good to find out more which is […]

Dining With the Prophets Cookbook {Giveaway}
Food. So many traditions are tied to it. The smell of certain dishes cooking can conjure up memories of bygone days. Recipes passed down through generations ties families together. Many times food defines a culture. For Mormons, especially those with pioneer ancestors, just mention the Lion House and you are more than likely to hear, […]
Believe – A Soccer Movie for the Whole Family!
Last night I hooked up the laptop to our television (Junior Mint decided to break our dvd player) and settled on the couch to watch a new movie.

The National Domestic Violence Hotline says, “Nearly half of all women and men in the United States have experienced psychological aggression by an intimate partner in their lifetime.”1 Domestic violence statistics appear to be going […]
To Fill a Life
Our guest blogger today is Stephanie from The Mount Laundry News. You know that object lesson where the teacher has an assortment of big rocks, small rocks, sand, and -for the truly ambitious – water, that all has to fit in a jar? The idea is to teach that if we properly prioritize by putting […]
How to Simplify Outside Activities
My monthly family calendar reminds me of an air traffic control tower, with four kids circling around waiting to land, taking off late and trying to avoid mid-air collisions. Just like every other family I know, our schedule is intense. I think that finding the right balance has never been more difficult! There are so […]
Family Scripture Study
About five years ago I sent a thank-you letter to a family that used to live in the last area I served in as a full-time missionary. The letter thanked them for their many meals provided for the missionaries that had served in that area, but especially for their example of family scripture study. While […]
