I have invited a wonderful guest blogger today, Amber, to share a little about a project she and several other women have created called Women of Faith. Anna and Amber came to present their project a little over a week ago to our ward (church congregation) and it was so lovely! I also got to […]
More Photos and a Digital Arts Fairyland
For the county fair I also entered this black and white photo of Cookie playing her guitar. It won a superior ribbon (the best you can do). A also really love these two photos of Cookie. She loves taking guitar lessons and practicing! Her older cousins asked to play for them and they were impressed. I […]

Come Celebrate Family!
Back in 1988 Thomas S. Monson gave a wonderful talk called “Hallmarks of a Happy Home.” In that address he said, Happy homes come in a variety of appearances. Some feature large families with father, mother, brothers, and sisters living together in a spirit of love. Others consist of a single parent with one or […]
Girls Who Choose God Guest Post
See this book? It is amazing! Any long time reader of my blog knows six of my seven daughters are named after women in the Bible. We wanted to give our daughters names to live up to, role models of righteous women who served God and chose God. We have taught them their stories by […]
Find Names on Your Family Tree with Puzzilla
My husband comes from Mormon pioneer stock. He has at least six generations of members of the church in his family. And since Mormons are BIG into genealogy his family lines go back for 20 or more generations. We believe that families can be sealed together in temples, linked into one big chain. Thanks to […]

Elder Neil L. Andersen of the Quorum of Twelve Apostles has challenged the youth to find a family name and take it to the temple. As part of the challenge they are to take their picture with #templechallenge and post it on social media. Just two weeks ago I showed my daughters how to look […]

My Mundane Day
It’s a nice stack of wheat pancakes smothered in maple syrup and butter kind of day. A fold three loads of laundry, wash a sink full of dirty dishes, and scrub the house sort of day. It’s fill the water jug with ice water and take out to dad hauling hay kind of day. Keeping […]
Courage. . .Brings the Smile of God’s Approval
Back in April during General Conference there seemed to be a theme of having faith and courage to live as a disciple of Jesus Christ. Just look at the titles of the first three talks: The Cost—and Blessings—of Discipleship, The Joyful Burden of Discipleship, and Christ the Redeemer. In studying the conference talks again I came upon this […]

Building Hay Barns
In between crops this summer the men and teenage boys have been building more hay barns. They dug the holes and cemented the metal poles, cut and welded the trusses, and attached purlin after purlin in the hot sun. Last week six nephews and a brother-in-law came up from Fallon to help put tin on […]
My Edwardian Era Daughter
Earlier this week I looked out the window to see this cutie walking out to the garden. She loves to wear this outfit and pretend she is living over a hundred years ago. She will be turning 12 in October. I love that she still enjoys dress-up, still likes to play with her American Girl […]
