It’s a good time of the school year to check in with your kids. How are they adjusting to the new year of school work? How are things going with friends? How are their study habits? For us, it’s been just long enough to get familiar with the new schedule but still early enough that there is plenty of time for adjustments to prepare our kids for success at school! Reviewing these twelve habits and techniques can ensure that your student is adapting to the rigors of the school year.
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….

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…
It’s summertime and that means weddings GALORE! If you’ve been asked to, or even offered to, throw a bridal shower before you know that coming up with ideas to make it fun and enjoyable can be a little challenging.

Hello there! It’s Jana from Double the Deliciousness and I’m so excited that it’s pie season. That is an actual season in my world, and it’s one of my favorites! We even have a family tradition every year around Thanksgiving involving pie …….”We’re Thankful for Pie Night”! Every family brings their favorite pie and we gorge on pie and visit and laugh and have the best time!
We live a state away from family and so on those years we DON’T visit family for Thanksgiving we invite friends over to our home and enjoy pie together. Pie brings people together, did you know? And we love having friends over and eating pie together so much that on the years we DO travel we still have our Pie Night with our friends the weekend before Thanksgiving….and then we have our family one on Thanksgiving Eve. Yes, we end up having 2!:) You can never have too much pie, right? (Except that one year…spent the entire night with my head in the toilet. I didn’t think I’d ever be able to eat pie again…glad I was wrong!:)) It is the best tradition, and how could it not be…pie, friends, laughter, pie, family, visiting, and did I mention PIE?
November is a month of gratitude and thanksgiving. The Book of Mormon gives such beautiful examples of how Heavenly Father watches over His children and blesses them in times on need. When we take time to offer our thanks to Him each day, our lives are filled with more light, peace, and love. I am…
God gave us commandments out of love. He allows us the choice to break his commandments out of love. He watches us flounder, suffer and struggle until we cry out “God save us!” out of love. He allows others, acting as angels, to struggle with us, pray for us, and come to our rescue because we all need experiences like this and because He loves us! He gave us this earth, gave us life, and when our time comes, gave us death as a doorway back to His presence because he cherishes us as His children.
