Scripture PJs
I wrote a guest post for Jocelyn at We Talk of Christ for part of her Book of Mormon Forum. I am reposting here to show a little of how we incorporate scripture study in our school days. There’s a Primary song my children love to sing, Scripture Power. Because I want to be like […]
Great American Documents

Simple Pleasures Autumn Edition Part III
Simple list today as I am traveling – will be for the next two days. I am also thankful for trials whenever, however they come, big or small. I love this quote from Elder Paul V. Johnson’s April 2011 General Conference talk, “[Trials] are vitally important to the process of putting on the divine nature. […]
Wordfull Wednesday: Bravery
As is typical many times when I write, this post took a different twist then I expected. I initially sat to write about a couple of experiences from my childhood but when I started typing, something entirely different came from my fingers. And so I am writing this beginning paragraph last. Last week I made […]

Grateful Hearts, Giving Hands
I just love this quote! As you know Autumn (don’t call it fall!) is my favorite season of the year. I love the bountiful harvest, the colors changing, the gathering of family together, the spicy smells, etc. But this quote got me thinking. What if we, like nature, also made this time of year a […]

Some look to gratifying their desires to find happines through drugs, alcohol, pornography, sex, etc. Others look for happiness by getting lost in video games, or sports, […]
How I Read Blog Posts
I know, I know today is Friday. It’s supposed to be time for a homeschooling post. As is typical of most homeschoolers I think learning takes place all the time, not just with scholastics. So for those who don’t know about feed readers consider this a learning post! 🙂 Feed readers are a place where […]
Simple Pleasures: Autumn Edition Part II
More simple pleasures I enjoy in autumn. The Harvest Moon over the mountains to the east. I really like this glow! My Pilgrims. My mother-in-law picked these up for me years ago from Costco. I love their humble clothes and offerings. What a great reminder of how our celebration should be: simple, not gluttonous. Drinking […]

Sewing Basics: Nine Patch Quilt – Sudoku Style part I
Once we have gone over the very basics of sewing with a sewing machine my daughters start asking (incessantly) when they can start sewing their own lap quilt. Nine patch quilts are timeless. The patterns can vary greatly with no rhyme or reason for some or definite patterns for others. The pattern I like to […]
