What color reminds you of your mother? Why? If you could give your mom anything in the world what would it be? These questions were asked of my older girls about nine years ago. A booklet was being compiled by the Primary children at church as gifts for Mother’s Day. A question was written at […]

Covenant Motherhood {Giveaway}
We all know mothering can be hard, mundane, sleep-depriving, and even thankless work at times. And yet, we still do it day-after-day knowing that it is important. Deep down we realize that somehow it is a divine calling. There is meaning to our work. Stephanie Dibb Sorensen helps mothers to find that meaning in her […]

Junior Mint’s Blessing
Whew, we have had a busy, eventful April! Now that things have settled I have a bit of time to share some of our happenings. The most special event of the month was Junior Mint’s blessing on April 14th. For those that aren’t familiar with our LDS faith a baby blessing is similar to a […]

Eliza, The Life and Faith of Eliza R. Snow
You know how you have those certain people who you just get along with and feel as if they are “kindred spirits?” This is how I felt about Eliza R. Snow after reading the book Eliza, The Life and Faith of Eliza R. Snow. It opened my eyes to a more personal side of her […]

Teach Your Children Well
The next guest post in our Establish A House series comes from my good friend Deirdre. I marvel at how the internet connected a Mormon and a Catholic living on different sides of the U.S.A! Deirdre always uses song lyrics to name her posts. The song from Peter, Paul and Mary is the perfect title […]
If You Could Attend the World Congress of Families
would you go? Would you take the chance you had been given to listen to over 100 leaders from around the world advocating for stronger families? During our last Family Proclamation Celebration I wrote a post about defending the family and outlined three areas we can take a stand: in our homes, in our schools, […]
How Do You See Yourself?
Imagine if someone asked you to describe what you look like to them. Would you be completely honest? Or would you exaggerate what you perceive your “flaws” to be? How would your perception contrast with what others see? An FBI-trained forensic artist, Gil Zamora, created sketches of seven women who were hidden behind a curtain; […]

Last week’s Establish a House post generated a very good question from a reader about what to do when spouses aren’t quite in agreement or on board with certain teaching aspects. There were […]
L. Tom Perry, An Uncommon Life: Years of Preparation
Rightly or wrongly, some members of the LDS faith view the Twelve Apostles and the First Presidency as “rock stars.” They tend to focus more on the messengers rather than the message. While these men are called as Special Witnesses of Jesus Christ they are still men, imperfect men, who hold a high and holy […]
