LDS General Conference is coming up again on April 2nd and 3rd, and I can’t wait! I love General Conference because it’s a time we get to hear from our prophet and church leaders and enjoy a spiritual feast! No matter what I’m struggling with at the time, I always seem to find comfort and answers by listening to the General Conference messages. The conference is broadcast on television and radio and everyone is invited to watch or listen. Even if you aren’t a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, there is so much shared through the music and talks at General Conference that can enlighten and uplift you as a person.

Creative parenting ideas?? I’m all ears! Anyone that has been a parent knows that parenting isn’t easy. Every child is born with their own personality and has their own unique needs. When people say to me, as a mother of 7, “Oh, after 3 or 4 kids, it’s all the same right?!” I’m like, “a…
This year, my daughter requested that the Valentine cards incorporate unicorns and bubblegum. Yikes! I started panicking because this is the first year she has been so specific. Never fear! Mom is not afraid of a challenge!
All my kids have LOVED their pacifier (or “binky” as we tend to call it) from day one. I know some moms out there who avoid the binky all together just because they don’t want to deal with taking it away. But, the binky has been a sanity-saver for me, not to mention a soothing…

Ok let’s face it, going to the dentist with kids is not exactly what people enjoy doing with their free-time. Even if we dread going, it doesn’t mean it needs to be that way for our kids (or even for you). Going to the dentist can be fun, and getting your kids excited about going is the first step to keeping those pearly whites healthy and strong!
I know I mainly blog about emergency preparedness, but sometimes getting your kids to the dentist can be an emergency! The more we prepare them, the better it will go!
You may not be aware, unless you’re a teacher or a nerdy dental hygienist like I am, but February is Children’s Dental Health Month. I thought this month would be a great opportunity to address one of the questions parents are always asking me, which is – what can they do to help their kids not be afraid of going to the dentist (but I secretly know they’re asking for themselves).
Going to the dentist isn’t a one-time thing (even though some people try), but something you’re hopefully doing at least every 6 months. That is why starting off right, especially for your children, is so important! You’re creating habits & impressions that will last a life-time, so make them great ones.
Of course every child is different, but here are some things that have worked for lots of kids I know, and will hopefully work for you your kids too!
