“Without Christ, there would be no Christmas. Without Christ, there can be no fulness of joy. Without His birth and His Atonement, we would have no Intercessor, no Advocate with the Father, and no Mediator who makes it possible for us to return to the presence of our loving Heavenly Father and live together as […]
Christmas Jars Movie Review
I love Christmas movies! Comedy (Home Alone), classics (It’s a Wonderful Life), love stories (The Shop Around the Corner), and family friendly ones (Miracle on 34th Street). This year we’ve added a new movie, Christmas Jars, to our line-up. It encompasses all the types of movies we like. It is funny, family friendly, a love […]
Joyce Crook Wadsworth
My mother-in-law is an elect lady. She endured her cancer with grace and humility. We will miss seeing her smiling face but know, in the eternal scheme of things, it will be but a short while before we are reunited again. Joyce Crook Wadsworth was born February 2, 1944, in Fallon, Nevada, to Royal Don […]

Back Up & Running!
If you are reading this, it means Cranial Hiccups is finally back up and running after three days. Bluehost moved my domains to a new server that was supposed to improve speed and performance on Wednesday. But somehow it caused all of my domains to crash instead! Oops! It took four phone calls, a LOT […]
Roles, Revelation, and Grace
In our world today, we enjoy so many freedoms and opportunities, and we are blessed to believe that we can become whatever we want to be. This is a wonderful truth, and the Family Proclamation reinforces our divine potential and eternal destiny.
Working Together as a Family
One of the greatest things we can do is teach our children the joy of honest labor. They will learn this best working together as a family on projects that improve your home, serve others, and create works of beauty.
Tarzan, Vines, & Forgiveness
Think of your grudges, resentments, hurt feelings, pain. Can you let them go? Can you move forward? Can you find a way to forgive – for the sake of your happiness, and the happiness of your spouse and your family? It is the only way. It is the only way to progress.
Warning Labels
I am learning that heeding God’s warning signs to families promises His safety, His protection and His freedom. How very blessed we are as God’s children to know that He loves us enough to warn us. And not just individually, but as families, for that is how He wants us to come back to Him!
Stand as a Witness
The 24th anniversary of The Family: A Proclamation to the World is at the end of this month. Every day until then I will be reposting articles from The Family Proclamation Celebration that has been held on my blog starting in 2010. This post was from 2011. Several weeks ago my husband and I took our two little children […]
Defending the Family: You Were Chosen “For Such a Time as This!”
Teaching the Teacher One of my university students recently shared the following email with me (just days after the ruling regarding same-sex marriage): I actually wasn’t able to sleep for a couple of nights because I was so worried about the effect this Supreme Court ruling would have on the nation and the world. But […]
Living Your Love Story
“Mom, so-and-so was wondering about the first time you and dad kissed?” This question was asked amongst comments of “No, I didn’t!” and “It was your idea!” We all laughed {and there might have been a few ‘eeewwww’s} as I recounted that fateful day so long ago. It dawned on me we’d never told that particular part […]
I Know Who I Am. I Know God’s Plan.
Each is a beloved spirit son or daughter of heavenly parents, and, as such, each has a divine nature and destiny.” There is a reason this statement is second only to the fact that we are created by God in His image. Once we know who He is, then we can begin to truly understand […]
Home as a Family History & Missionary Training Center
We’ve all seen it. Families are changing. It’s harder to keep the family intact with so much working against it. The National Domestic Violence Hotline says, “Nearly half of all women and men in the United States have experienced psychological aggression by an intimate partner in their lifetime.”1 Domestic violence statistics appear to be going down, but everyone […]
The Importance of Family Home Evening
The First Presidency of the Church, in 1915, advised and urged “The inauguration of a ‘Home Evening’ throughout the Church, at which time fathers and mothers may gather their boys and girls about them in the home, and teach them the words of the Lord . . .If the Saints obey this counsel, we promise […]
