Hello Or so she says…readers!! My name is Tonii and I blog over at Blue Skies Ahead. I am so thrilled to be here with you today! I couldn’t be more excited to be a new contributor, and I hope you enjoy some ideas I use in my home to (try!;) to strengthen my family…
Having nine children in our family is crazy fun. But, as those little buggers grow up, they leave us! SO RUDE! 🙂 We have two in college and one who just recently left for a two year mission for our church in Salt Lake City. So, even though we have 6 kiddos left, it’s feeling very empty. (I know…it sounds crazy, but it’s true).

This wonderful family idea shares the Easter story for children. Use Easter eggs to demonstrate the true meaning of this religious holiday.
“Family Night is a designated night, once a week, where you sit down with your family…have a lesson, an activity, and a treat. It’s a great way to spend time together as a family and teach your children about the important things they don’t learn in school. Family Night can be one of those things…
