If you’re looking for Pioneer Day Activities, then look no more! Mariah has created a roundup of things to do, including crafts and snacks. Pioneer Day is a holiday to celebrate the arrival of Mormon (LDS) Pioneers into the Salt Lake Valley in 1847. It’s a great time of year in Utah, and now you won’t have to miss out on any of the fun even if you’re out of state!
I hear ya, moms… I’ve been doing the Google searches too, “fun activities for bored siblings.” Being cooped up at home can easily drain the life out of you and the children. But having a list of fun activity ideas to do at home can make all the difference in the world. So, I thought…
Easter is a time of joy and reflection, and what better way to engage children than with crafts that tell the story of Jesus Christ? These 17 Christian Easter crafts are perfect for Sunday School, family home evening, or just a fun afternoon at home. They’re designed to be easy, engaging, and to help kids…
We did an activity to drive home the point that words can be used for good. It changed my life. I would never had suspected how my testimony would grow from a simple “children’s exercise.” I felt inspired to share it with our blog readers (YOU!) and hope that it will be as impactful in your homes as it was for me at our activity.
If you’re going to make a drink, you might as well make a gallon! This recipe for one gallon homemade lemonade is made with real lemons and sugar. It’s way easier to make than you would think… almost as easy as opening up a can of concentrate! Okay, well not quite the easy, but pretty…
The weather is finally starting to warm up here in Utah. Hallelujah! Bring on the BBQs and outdoor parties! I hope I’m not the only one, but when I get asked to bring something to a party there are certain food items I’m comfortable making and others that I avoid like the plague. “Sure, I’ll bring a dessert and chips and a bowl of fruit, no problem! Oh, you want me to bring a pasta or potato salad? Actually, I’m going to be sick that day…” 😉 Side salads have really never been my thing, and neither have DRINKS. Yeah, I can pick up a few bottles of soda, but I’d rather have it be something special and the drink section in my recipe binder is slim to say the least! If your collection of drink recipes could use some bulking up as well, check out these 22 non-alcoholic party drinks and try one out next time you find yourself saying yes to, “Will you bring the drinks??”
Hello again! I can’t believe that Easter is coming up in just a couple weeks! It feels like it was just yesterday that we had a count down to the new year… Anyway, I was thinking the other day how some people are so stinkin’ FESTIVE when it comes to holidays, I mean, did you see what Mariel did for St. Patrick’s Day?? I myself am totally lacking in “festiveness” and I want to be better! Getting into the holidays breaks up the same old daily grind and gives you and your kids something to get excited about. So, with that said, I’m determined to make something crafty for Easter this year to display in my home. If you want to join me, and get the kids in on it too, here are 18 totally adorable Easter Crafts that I’ve gathered from all over the internet. Now go get festive!
As a mom of 7 kiddos and active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, I’m always thinking about ways to foster meaningful connections within our ward. Plus, I have several children in Young Mens and Young Womens, and a husband who serves in that calling, as well. I was recently brainstorming…
We all have moments where we need a little boost of faith. It’s that feeling of hope, that inner strength that helps us keep going. I’ve found some of the most inspiring messages on faith within talks given by leaders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. These aren’t just for church members;…
Growing up, one of my most favorite meals was my mom’s Crock Pot Pork Chops. I doubt she makes them anymore, only because she’s moved waaaaaay up in the cooking world. This recipe uses a can of Campbell’s soup. She’s cooking with kale, fresh ground ginger, and flavored salts. I’m not quite there, yet. So,…
