Okay, so we all know coloring isn’t just for kids anymore, right? It’s like, a total thing now. And for good reason! Turns out, getting lost in those lines and colors can actually be super chill. It’s kinda like meditation, only way more fun. There’s even science to back it up! Some researchers found that…
Back in December, Dan and I took all of the kids on a cruise. It had been planned nearly a year in advance, so we were SO excited when it was finally getting close to the time to leave. Well… we were all excited, except for my 11 year old son, Shane. Somehow Shane got it in his head that we were going to die, either on the cruise or the airplane. He didn’t know which, but he was 100% convinced that it was true. And, it was completely ruining him. It weighed on his mind constantly and there was no reasoning that could console him. He believed with all of his heart that I was taking him to his death. He couldn’t be around televisions or radios that had the news on, he lost his appetite and wasn’t eating, and he was certain that Christmas was never going to happen for us.
French toast is a classic breakfast dish that’s super easy to make and totally delicious. It’s basically just bread soaked in a mixture of eggs, milk, and cinnamon, then cooked until golden brown and slightly crispy. You can top it with whatever you like – fresh fruit, syrup, powdered sugar, whipped cream, the works! It’s…
Okay, let’s be honest, sometimes “family history night” at church can feel a little…dry. But it doesn’t have to be that way! With a little creativity, you can plan an activity that’s actually fun and helps everyone connect with their ancestors. These activities would be perfect for Young Mens, Young Women’s, ward activities, family reunions,…
Ahoy Matey, But Don’t Forget Your Wallet… That’s right. Bring that wallet ready to use! Cruises are the ultimate family vacation, right? Sun, fun, food, and someone else doing the dishes? Sign me up! But before you set sail on the S.S. Funtimes, let’s talk about some sneaky costs that can leave your vacation fund…
Okay, let’s be real, dinner and a movie is so overdone. It’s like the dating equivalent of plain toast – reliable, but kinda boring. If you’re wanting to reconnect with your spouse, you may need to be a little more creative. Try and think of things to do that get you talking, engaging, reminiscing, etc….
Before we get to the easiest chicken and dumplings recipe ever, do you wanna hear about my creepy weekend?? If not, scroll down. The Easiest Chicken Dumplings (the kids LOVE this!!) But first, story time… My creepy weekend (why I need some comfort food…) So, it was probably 10 at night. I had all the…
Hey, any of you ladies want to hold a priesthood office?? Well, you can’t. And, even if you could, you might wanna think twice. I’ve been studying up on something these past couple weeks and yeah, no thanks. Men can keep the offices for themselves and I will gladly SUSTAIN them as they magnify their…
I had all these big, productive plans for the summer…update my food storage, organize the kid’s closets (out with the old), touch up the paint on my walls (kid damage), catch up on my digital scrapbooks, etc. And, here it is almost August and I have nothing to show for myself…and I can’t explain it,…
As a mother of two teenage girls, it’s not usual to have a kitchen full of friends, mixing up face mask recipes… and making a huge mess. But, the girls love it, their skin loves it, and I love that I have found some fun recipes for them that don’t require special trips to the…
I really had to swallow my pride to get to the point where I could share these sugar cookies from scratch recipe with you. Granted, it’s not MY recipe…I think I found it on the Food Network, back in the days. But, this soft, chewy sugar cookie recipe has made me the “chick that makes…
If you haven’t noticed, I really, REALLY love missionary work. One of these days, I intend to write a post on some of the things I’ve learned from sharing the gospel online, but I haven’t quite found the time I will need for that post, yet. In the meantime, I’ve enjoyed doing smaller gospel related…
