It’s no secret I love the music of Rob Gardner. LOVE. His oratorio Lamb of God has been a favorite around here for several years. I’ve written about it before {here and here} even given it away a couple of times. Now Rob has another idea for this oratorio. Make it into a film that […]
Come Listen to a Prophet’s Voice: Sunday Afternoon Session
I snuggled little Junior Mint during this whole session so don’t have any notes but I do have several observations. I’m linking to their talks on Youtube. Elder Jeffrey R. Holland can tell a story like no other. He has the ability to make scripture stories come alive. And, wow, is he a powerful speaker!I […]
Come Listen to a Prophet’s Voice: Sunday Morning Session
President Dieter F. Uchtdorf spoke of God’s light. There are three ways to open our eyes to the hope of God’s light. 1) Start right where we are 2) turn your heart toward the Lord 3) walk in the light. Faith comes when we walk away from the darkness and toward the light of hope. […]
Come Listen to a Prophet’s Voice: Saturday Afternoon Session
I realized if I typed up all my notes for General Conference in one post it would be HUGE. Here’s my notes from Saturday Afternoon. The Young Women General presidency was released. They were such great leaders for the Young Women of the church! I knew they would be released. I had that feeling watching […]

My 1962 Inspired Apron {giveaway}
See my latest creation? Made from a discarded cafe curtain, it was inspired by this breakfast scene from a new television series from BYUtv called Granite Flats. The series premiere of Granite Flats doesn’t air until April 7th, but my family and I got a sneak peek at the first two episodes. It is great […]
Teaching Morality to Children
This month the focus for Establish a House will be teaching children morality in an increasingly immoral world. What can we do as parents to teach our children to stand strong when they are on their own?

Here Is Hope
Easter Sunday will soon be here. Our Calvary’s Hill, Empty Tomb Garden has been growing for the last three weeks. A subtle reminder of what we are celebrating resting right there on the kitchen counter. Amid the chaos of dirty dishes and cooking messes tender green shoots skyward searching for the light that gives it […]
I Support Traditional Marriage
Long time readers know how much family, traditional marriage, and parenthood mean to me. I started an annual blog celebration about The Family: A Proclamation to the World, held every September, because of my strong belief in the importance of the truths taught therein. Truths such as:Marriage between a man and a woman is ordained […]

Introducing Our Newest Junior Mint
Jason Peterborn March 19, 2013 at 11:02am7 lbs 8 oz, 19 inches long At first mention of Jason’s name some people have said it doesn’t seem to fit the rest of our children’s names as they are all scriptural.

Teaching Children to Cook
Since I’m being induced today and my brain is fried anyway I thought I’d combine three posts I wrote several years ago on how I have taught and am teaching my children to cook. There have only been two changes in how we do things since I wrote them. Our food budget has increased to […]
A Taste of Humble Pie
The past month has been rather – hmmm, how shall I put it? – normal but with a touch of added humor that only teenage daughters and a husband with quick wit can provide. And thank goodness for that humor and plenty of laughter to go around! Otherwise, I think I would have lost confidence […]
Five for Friday: Getting Ready for Baby Edition

Surviving When All You Have Are Young Ones
When my oldest was six I had my fifth child. As I think back about what those days were like I realize how much work it was but also how fun it was. We have several home videos from that era and it really amazes me at how clean our house actually was and that […]
