We’ve all had those days where nothing seems to go right. Stress builds up until we feel like we are going to explode. Sometimes we do! And we wonder if anyone notices what we do or that we are even there at all. Can you think of someone, right now, who might be feeling that […]
Bethlehem Means House of Bread Service Kit
We all know the story. How Mary and Joseph traveled to Bethlehem to be taxed and that is where sweet baby Jesus was born. Did you know that Bethlehem means “House of Bread?” Pretty interesting when you realize that later in His life Jesus Christ would proclaim, He taught this after feeding the 5,000 with […]

Use Facebook and Chatbooks to Create a Simple Ancestor Photo Book
Last week I posted how easy Chatbooks are to create. I received a few emails and messages asking about the ancestor photos books. Here’s a quick tutorial on how I created mine. I started by finding ancestor photos. We had quite a few already. I also looked online at Family Search and was able to […]
Have You Heard of Chatbooks?
My first five girls have scrapbooks with all their pictures arranged on cute little pages. The next three kids have all their pictures stuffed into photo page protectors. The last three have nothing or almost nothing. But I’m working on it! When Henry was born I heard about an app called Chatbooks. It links to […]

Uncommon Gifts
It’s that time of year! I went shopping in Reno last week and already, before October even started, the stores were setting out their Christmas displays. I have mixed feeling about it because 1) I hate how commercialized Christmas is and 2) I start seriously shopping, creating, crafting for Christmas gifts in September so everything is […]
Summer Boredom Busters
Summer! With all the bike riding, yard races, swimming, picnics, swings and sliding there are still times when kids get bored. I am a HUGE believer in letting them be bored. They eventually use their imaginations, make up games, find a book to read, or bake cookies. If you are looking for a little more […]
French Toast Easter Bake & Scavenger Hunt
Is Easter morning ever hectic and crazy at your house? My kids always get so excited even though we do Easter baskets on a different day. One way to cut down on all the fuss is to have breakfast made the night before. Colette from My Computer is My Canvas in collaboration with Mormon.org and Sugardoodle […]
#MyForeverFamily Challenge
You may have noticed all my posts last week centered on family history. I loved writing about the ways we “do” family history! It doesn’t have to be boring. We make the dash between the birth and death dates of our ancestors come alive. You can too! I have joined with 14 other bloggers this […]
Map Your Family Roots
Spain. Mexico. England. Wales. France. Germany. Ireland. You say you know where your ancestors are from. But do you really? Have you ever looked at a map to see exactly where they were born, lived, and died? Websites like Rootsmapper and Kinmapper are fun to do with your kids. It’s neat to see new points pop […]
The Kids’ Book of Family Stories
One of my favorite gifts ever is this simple little book, The Kids Book of Family Stories, that my grandmother put together for Christmas one year. As you can see my own copy has been very much loved. It starts off with a tree listing surnames in my family line. It is divided into two […]
Using Dolls to Share Family History Stories
As part of our female family history unit study my mom came up with this ingenious idea! My girls love their American Girl Dolls so my mom thought, “Why not use those dolls to share family history stories?” She sewed doll outfits to represent our different ancestors. This outfit represents the ones my sister, Vanessa, […]
Female Family History
Julie B. Beck once said, “We study our history to learn who we are. There is a worldwide hunger among good women to know their identity, value, and importance.” Though Sister Beck was talking about learning the history of Relief Society, I think this applies to our family history as well. The Relief Society began […]
