This month marks the twentieth anniversary since the amazing revelation of The Family: A Proclamation to the World was first given by President Gordon B. Hinckley at the Relief Society General Conference. I was only ten years old at the time. I knew nothing about The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, nor […]
Defend the Family!
There is no question there is an attack on the family. Just scan the headlines of any news outlet and you’ll find startling evidence of the strategic ways the adversary is trying to destroy this most beautiful and basic of human relationships. How do we counteract all of these attempts to redefine the traditional family […]

The Art of Homemaking
I love the story of the Shunammite Woman in the Old Testament. She recognizes that Elisha is a prophet of God who often passes through Shunem. She goes the extra mile to provide a sanctuary for him to rest and stay during his travels. She seems to have thought of everything he would need. “And […]

Getting Rid of the Gray
Look what happened to my house on Thursday!!! Thanks to the combined efforts of wonderful hard working family the color coat of stucco was finally applied. No more living in a cement prison as my kids affectionately called it. We were two buckets short of color though so this one wall didn’t […]

Make Your Home a Sacred Space
“His house was perfect, whether you liked food, or sleep, or work, or story-telling, or singing, or just sitting and thinking best, or a pleasant mixture of them all. Evil things did not come into that valley. “I wish I had time to tell you even a few of the tales or one or two […]
Introducing Henry Murdock
On Wednesday, July 29th, little Henry Murdock joined our family at 12:45pm. He weighed in at 8lbs 2oz with a HUGE head of 14 1/2 inches. The cord was wrapped around his neck which caused his whole head to bruise. We laugh that he is having a racial identity crisis because he has both black […]
Once I Was a Beehive {Movie Review}
Ah, girls camp! That time of year when young women in our church gear up for a week of camping, learning new skills, and hopefully have a great time building friendships with one another. Our girls camp this year can be summed up in one word, “RAIN!” It rained every day and there was even […]

Fathers and Mothers Matter
The roles of fathers and mothers are downplayed in our society. The scorn comes from those who do not fully appreciate or catch the vision or have tasted the joy of being a father or a mother. Both are necessary ingredients not only in producing a child but in raising and rearing one. Fathers and […]
Rain, rain, and more rain!
We had a very exciting day yesterday. I was in town eating lunch with some special women when I got a text from my husband with this picture. No rain in the valley but the mountains on either side of us are getting drenched. Here’s a pic of a little flash flood coming down from […]
July Days
Our first crop of hay got rained on pretty bad. Rain is not good when the hay has been cut! The hay bleaches in the sun as it waits to dry out. Nutrients are leached out of the hay the longer it stays in the field. If you bale it too wet it will either […]
