Our 5 Best Family Vacations ~ From a Family of 9

Hmmm… the BEST family vacations… if I had to narrow it down to 5, what would I pick? I’ve been thinking long and hard. We’ve been on a lot of fun trips! I had to think about which vacations were the most kid friendly, low stress for mom & dad, and which ones we are still talking about as a family. I think I have my answers! You ready? Just click on the link to any of the individual vacations to read all about our trip (how we booked, things we loved, tips/tricks, etc.)

I gathered up a lot of ideas, and laid it all out at the beginning of the week so we could prepare some healthy after school snacks, that are easy for him to grab and eat. We also thought it would be best to get him involved in the process, which is always a great way to get kids to eat a variety of foods!

20 General Conference Activities for Toddlers and Youth

Hey friends! Did you know LDS General Conference is coming up on April 4th and 5th?? I’m so excited! (What is General Conference, you ask? Follow this link where Mariel gives a great explanation.) I always get excited for General Conference because I know that I will come out of it feeling spiritually uplifted and strengthened, with a determination to be a better person. I think that it’s pretty great, but I know that getting your kids to understand the “awesomeness” of General Conference can be a challenge. I mean, it isn’t exactly like you’re sitting them down in front of their favorite movie for two hours! While it may not be the most excited thing they’ve ever watched on TV, there is a wealth of spiritual messages being shared that they CAN learn something from.

Friendship Bingo Family Night Activity

I created this friendship bingo family night lesson to help make the process of starting school and meeting new friends fun instead of scary. Change often creates opportunities for growth. A new school year or joining a sports team or club can be overwhelming for children. Teaching relationship building skills will help them feel confident instead of shy and nervous. I hope this lesson will be beneficial for your family!
