Scenes from the last two days. We had a very enjoyable Thanksgiving, spending it with Mr. Ferrero Rocher’s side of the family. There were 48 people there! The next day we took the kids up to the mountains to get a real Christmas tree. The first time in about 8 years that we’ve done that. […]
The Gift of a Grateful Heart
This is a post I wrote for Latter-day Homeschooling earlier this month. I am reposting it here. You will notice some repetition from earlier posts I have written but that’s okay! Some things are worth repeating. ☺Interspersed in the post are photos of some of my blessings from this past week. (via pinterest) Have you […]

The winner of the giveaway is announced at the bottom of this post. 🙂 “Be filled with the Spirit; speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our […]
Thanksgiving Books & Crafts by Jocelyn
A few years ago, my kids and I started crafting along to our favorite Christmas books every day during the month of December. What started as a holiday tradition quickly spread into a multi-season obsession. Consider yourself warned. We now craft to Easter, Thanksgiving, and Christmas book lists that we’ve created of our all-time favorite holiday […]
Abide With Me by Daniel Beck {Giveaway}
Yesterday on our way to town for Ganache’s 4 month immunizations, we finally stopped to check our mail. It had been a whole week! Our mailbox is 15 miles from our house. We only check it when we are going to town – once, maybe twice, a week. It’s kind of a bummer especially when […]
Still Counting the Blessings!
Only six more days until Thanksgiving. My son is keeping track. After counting down for his birthday he decided it was very fun to count so now he is counting down to Thanksgiving too. And me? I’m still counting my blessings, one by one. Here are a couple of pages to help you count your […]
Creative Writing Day 10: About Me Fingerprint
I originally saw this idea on pinterest, but the link didn’t tell how to do it so I set about figuring it out with my kids. It really is a fun way to write creatively! First we took our thumbprints. The clearest prints were not made with ink but with pencil! We colored a small […]
Creative Writing Day 9: Story Starters
Whew! Sorry this post is up a bit late today. I was too busy yesterday (shopping, ordering Christmas cards which required an insane amount of time looking through photos to find decent ones, etc) to write today’s post. My intent was to create some printables with story starters to use for daily creative writing. Instead […]
All This and the Gospel Too? by Erin
“What would I want this for?” I will never forget the fire in my younger brother’s voice, or the sheer look of horror on my mother’s face as the freshly unwrapped Christmas gift flew across the room. It landed with a thud on the hardwood floor and slid right back under the Christmas tree. The […]
Creative Writing Day 8: Mad Libs
Who doesn’t remember the ‘olden’ days when all we had available to keep us busy on road trips were books to read, cassettes to listen to, and car games to play like the license plate game and madlibs. Madlibs are still fun to play! And they teach about basic parts of speech as well. For […]
Educating Women: Sarah’s Story
“It has been said that ‘When you educate a man, you educate an individual; but when you educate a woman, you educate a whole family.’ (Dr. Charles D. McIver) We want our women to be well educated, for children may not recover from the ignorance of their mothers.” Spencer W. Kimball May I introduce you […]

What’s Your Favorite Blessing Game
Our Heavenly Father has blessed us with everything we have in life, both spiritually and temporally. Counting our blessings helps us to realize just how much He loves us. What if you had to choose between two blessings? Would you chose the color red or the color yellow? Scriptures or your family? The purpose of […]
Creative Writing Day 6: Letter Writing & Fun Mail
Don’t you just love to get mail? I do! What a simple pleasure it is when checking my mail to find at the bottom of a stack of bills and magazines a card or letter from a friend. E-mail has caused a great decline in the handwritten note. I’m not saying I don’t enjoy reading […]
