I had a lot of fun participating in the 12 Days of Christmas Swap hosted by Sami at Symmetry in Motion. I have to admit I totally forgot about taking pictures of the 12 gifts I received as part of the swap. I also didn’t remember to keep track of what I got each day. […]

Counted
One. One little boy amidst seven girls. On Friday I drove most of the kids in to town for a Primary activity day. My son refused to get out of the van. “I just want to go with you, Mama.” I didn’t argue. We dropped off his oldest sister at the high school to take […]

Christmas School
Every year we take December off from our usual scholarly studies to focus on Christmas School. In the past we have done Christmas carols, Names of Christ, Christmas Symbols, etc. I also like to throw in some fun mini units about snowflakes, or hot chocolate, or gingerbread. ☺ This year we will be doing two […]
Christmas Magic
The year was 1985. Our decorations were few, limited to a wooden tree that was placed on top the piano (that’s all I can remember anyway). As children we knew there wouldn’t be many gifts. There wasn’t enough money. But we were going back to Utah to be with grandparents, and uncles, and aunts, and […]
Christmas is coming!
Interrupting my scheduled personal history posts…. My kids were flipping through their scrapbooks the other day comparing what they all looked like as babies. We came upon some of our old Christmas cards. Boy have my kids grown! It’s really easy to see when comparing cards from year to year. I love sending and receiving […]

Mr. Ferrero Rocher and I think of things we can make the children, as well as each other. And I’m not lying even a […]
Jesus is Born!
One finally reading recommendation about that blessed night so long ago. Stephanie from Diapers and Divinity first posted an excerpt from this talk, “Maybe Christmas Doesn’t Come From a Store” by Elder Jeffrey R. Holland a few days ago. As with all of Elder Holland’s talks this is beautiful and speaks to the heart. Journey […]
No Room in the Inn
There is an older gentleman at our church who is Greek. When biblical passages are discussed it is fascinating to listen to his viewpoints and to hear him explain certain words because of his knowledge of the Greek language, the original language of the New Testament. Is it any wonder I enjoy finding sources that […]

Donna is the author of Beloved Bridegroom, a book detailing Jewish marriage customs at the time of Jesus Christ which helps us better understand Christ’s […]
