What if we SEE the moms who look like they have it all together and the moms who look like everything’s falling apart and the moms in between? And instead of looking away or acting like we don’t see what’s happening, we stop and we encourage. Motherhood as we know it will undoubtedly change when we choose to actively and consistently encourage each other.
Hold the phone guys because… PEACHES ARE FINALLY IN SEASON!!! So you better believe I’m sharing a delicious peach dessert with you all today. I love that this recipe is simple and absolutely delicious! Perfect for hot summer days, because its a chilled dessert and perfect for little helping hands.
So let’s get started! Because I know after all those peach pictures, you are totally salivating right now… 😉
I’m sure we’ve all been to a restaurant at one point in our lives and thought, “Dang, I would kill for this recipe!” Yet, in order to get it you either have to become a chef and get hired at the restaurant or develop amazing taste-testing skills, decipher all the ingredients, and spend days in the kitchen trying to create something edible… Now, I’m not trying to discourage anyone here; some people are amazing at creating copycat recipes! My mom is one of these people; I, however, am not. I think I’m getting a little bit better, but I remember I used to hate it when she’d ask me to test her gravy and tell her what else it needed. I was clueless! So, I just want to say thank you to all you amazing copycat-recipe-makers out there who make all of us with inferior taste buds’ dreams come true!
He spilled. Something that happens only… every…single…meal. Don’t cry over spilled milk they say. The parent version should be more along the lines of “Don’t go off on a parental tirade over spilled milk.” (I am still working on that one.) It wasn’t the fact that my eldest spilled milk, or food or whatever it was. It was how he so casually morphed into what looked like one of those sucker fish you see in the fish tanks and hoovered up what he had splashed on the table cloth. Almost equally as disappointing was his surprise by my objection to his doing so. Seriously?? Where did I go wrong?
Each year during the busy travel season, we hear stories firsthand from families who bought Disneyland tickets for what they thought was a great deal, but then find out they were scammed. And that is NO fun at all. With that said, I thought it would be good time to warn families about where not to buy Disneyland tickets for their summer vacation – just to be safe.

Happy July, everyone! It’s that time again where I share my top 5 favorite things of the month. It’s always so hard to narrow it down, but it definitely seems that from month to month, there are always a handful of things that stand out as absolute favorites in my life… at least, for the…
Cinderella’s mother taught her to always, “Have courage and be kind.” Why is kindness such a powerful attribute? Can kindness actually change a person’s fate? Cinderella transformed from a ragged servant girl to a beautiful queen. What type of results can we expect from being kind? This is the topic of today’s Family Night lesson. I can’t wait to share it with my family and I hope you can take time to discuss the magic of kindness with yours.
First of all, let me explain visiting teaching. As a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, we are in a congregation where we are asked to go and visit certain ladies each month to really get to know them, share a quick message and find out if they have any needs that need to be met. It’s one of the ways we build friendships and help our leaders know any needs that families have.
Choose Happy! Choose Joy! We’ve all seen the cute signs and printables and quotes all over the internet. It’s great 2-second inspiration for the day, a great reminder that we are in charge of our own happiness, so make the most of it! After all, men are that they might have joy, right? We are supposed to be happy in this life!
