… continued from Our Nauvoo Family Vacation, Part 3. So, Nauvoo really is a small town, but there are still a handful of places to eat. And, if you want to drive about 15 minutes, there are several more options. But, we discovered one little place that we loved and had to go back for…
Part 3 of our Nauvoo Family Vacation. Follow along with us on the most special vacation that we’ve ever done as a family! If you haven’t been to Nauvoo, or are thinking about going, these posts are for you!

So, it took about 3 hours to drive from St. Louis to Nauvoo. We found a home to rent for the week on VRBO.com, right on the Mississippi River. The house was… so-so (ant infestation and the worst mattress ever) BUT, the location made it all worth it. It was just about a mile from historic Nauvoo, on a fairly secluded drive. One of my favorite things was going for a run along the river. There was nobody around, except a dozen vultures, it was so quiet and beautiful. I loved it!
For the longest time, my husband and I have been wanting to take our 7 kiddos on a family vacation to Nauvoo, Illinois. It’s been over 10 years since we have been there and I thought it was the perfect time to go again. I had just finished reading The History of Joseph Smith by His Mother to the kids, it was spring (less crowds and not so hot!), and we were due for a family vacation. And, let me tell you… it WAS the perfect time to go and the most PERFECT family vacation. Honestly, maybe my favorite one that we’ve ever done. The April weather was amazing. We practically had the whole town to ourselves. It was an awesome bonding experience, we learned a ton, and had some definite spiritual moments. I’m already anxious to go again!

If you love Spring as much as we do at our house, you are going to love this family night lesson! It is all about growing faith in Jesus Christ. He created this beautiful world that we live in. Having faith in Jesus is the first principle of the gospel. It is the most important thing we can teach our children. Get the lesson and printable on the blog today!
Why didn’t other moms feel warm and fuzzy about their kids like I felt about mine? I smiled to myself as I thought, “Oh, that is so sad. I’m so glad that I have this whole mom thing together, and love my little girl so much.” Most of all, I thought that I must be doing something right and they must be doing something wrong. I totally judged! Read the post to find out how my perspective changed.
Be prepared for a Family Night full of action and adventure! This lesson is perfect for active children. Sometimes (usually), my kids like to fight during our Family Night lessons. This week, fighting is encouraged. How cool is that?! Read on to find out why…

Friends! Have you ever wanted to try your hand at yoga?? I know I have! In fact, I have a little brother on an LDS mission, who LOVES yoga. Before he left, he made me promise that I would learn yoga and be able to show him a “sweet yoga move” by the time he gets home. Eeeek!
That promise, coupled with the fact that two of my brothers are in film production (they’re amazing) and my blog assistant, Liv, is also a yoga instructor, gave me an AWESOME IDEA! We put our heads together and decided to create a Yoga for Busy Moms online class, right in my own home.
