Spring is a bit wet this year which is good. Winter was so dry! Keeping the little boys out of the mud is nearly impossible. They are constantly on the move. Almost every picture I try to take of them is blurry. Also every pair of shoes they own – boots, tennis shoes, dress shoes […]
Preparing for a Newborn When You Have Other Kids Too
I have a question for you. I have 3 boys (5,3,1, and a new boy coming in August). I am wondering about your experience in having so many children, and what you do to prepare. I have had fairly clear ideas to focus on as I’ve prepared for the births and lives of my other […]
Mothers are Body Builders
Have you ever googled yourself? I decided to give it a go. Pretty sure after seeing the results that I am the only one with my name out there, at least in the United States and maybe the world. Not so with my maiden name. Really! I googled Montserrat Ventura and guess what? There are […]

Embarrassing Mom Moments
The other day, as we were sitting around the table eating lunch, the topic of conversation turned to “Remember when…” Does your family do that? The older girls were laughing at the fun memories of having a fort, pretending to do CPR on a block of wood, finding glass bottles in the antique cars at […]
Motherhood Printables
All week I’ll be sharing little things about mothers either things to print or do or just my thoughts on various aspects of motherhood. Today I have three motherhood printables you can download for yourself or to give to someone else. “The love of a true mother comes nearer being like the love of God than any […]
Our Souls Know Their Worth!
“None of us come to this earth to gain our worth; We brought it with us.” (Sheri L. Dew, No One Can Take Your Place, pg 21) From the time my children are born and on into adulthood we remind them that they are God’s children first before they are ours. As I rock my […]
Elder M Russell Ballard Speaks at 2015 BYU Women’s Conference
I’ve only been to BYU Women’s Conference once, when I was pregnant with Gideon. I LOVED every minute of it! I hope to be able to attend again sometime and take my older daughters with me. There are so many wonderful classes offered, service projects to do, and just an over all feeling of sisterhood […]
How to Talk to Your Kids About Sex
Every Sunday evening my siblings, parents, and I have a Google Hangout where we catch up on happenings in each others’ lives. This past Sunday we somehow got on the topic of how we each had “the talk” with our parents. All kinds of hilarity followed as we recounted embarrassing moments and compared stories. I […]

To celebrate I am teaming up with seven other bloggers to share a family home evening lesson created from one of the […]

Whew! What a month we have had preparing for and then actually attending Eve and Patrick’s wedding and all the festivities surrounding that joyous event. I have been slow to post more in the Establish a House series. Several people have sent e-mails with suggestions on topics they would like to see covered. Some of […]
Ada Bitner Hinckley
Meet Ada. She’s my husband’s great-grandmother. Her life is one worth knowing about. At the family reunion we attended back in February I attended a class about her where I learned a bit more about her talents and interests. Ada Bitner was born on June 30, 1880, the daughter of Breneman Barr Bitner and Sarah Ann […]
Wedding Photos
Wow! The photographer we got for Eve and Patrick’s wedding was awesome. And fast! I figured we’d have to wait several weeks before seeing any professional photos but we received a DVD of photos yesterday. Let’s just say spring time weddings, especially on Temple Square in Salt Lake, get some beautiful help from Mother Nature. […]
The Bride and Groom
Just checking in on this super busy week to show the ONE picture I got of my daughter and my new son-in-law on their wedding day. The wedding was beautiful! The bride and groom! Beautiful spring day to be married. Don’t worry, I only cried a ton. They were tears of joy! A photo posted […]
We love waffles!
We are in the final throws of getting ready for my daughter’s wedding. How did it get here so fast? It seemed so far away back at Christmas when they got engaged. Ack! So obviously my mind has been elsewhere. Today’s Establish a House post is brought to you by one of our favorite foods. […]
