Three Gardens and the First Easter FHE
Elder Bruce R. McConkie gave a powerful talk in General Conference called The Purifying Power of the Atonement. It would end up being his last talk as he died three weeks later. In that talk Elder McConkie said, “As we read, ponder, and pray, there will come into our minds a view of the three […]

We have been in our new kitchen/dining room plus laundry, pantry and school room addition for a whole year now. I can hardly believe it! I had planned on sharing all about it but we were so busy with Eve’s wedding, then baby Henry was born, then we were farming, etc. etc. I just haven’t […]

As part of our female family history unit study my mom came up with this ingenious idea! My girls love their American Girl Dolls so my mom thought, “Why not use those dolls to share family history stories?” She sewed doll outfits to represent our different ancestors. This outfit represents the ones my sister, Vanessa, […]
Female Family History
Julie B. Beck once said, “We study our history to learn who we are. There is a worldwide hunger among good women to know their identity, value, and importance.” Though Sister Beck was talking about learning the history of Relief Society, I think this applies to our family history as well. The Relief Society began […]
Fun Ways to Display Old Family Photos
This quote is one of our favorites when we talk about our ancestors. We would not be where we are or who we are without their sacrifices and examples. Because they mean so much to us we like to tell their stories and display their pictures so our children come to know them. They are […]
