Winter Boredom Busters

I don’t know about you, but as a stay at home Mom, I find keeping my kids entertained and free of boredom gets harder and harder as they get older. Of course I could plop them down in front of the TV and they would love that, but I try to limit screen time to 2 hours or less per day. My daughter is in school now, so she is not bored too much, but my son is a whole different story. He is almost 3 years old, and about to be stuck in the house with me and a … Continue reading →

Do YOU Sugardoodle?

I’m sure if you are a Mormon woman in a calling such as Primary, YW, or even Relief Society, then you have probably heard of Sugardoodle.net. If you haven’t, then you are truly missing out! There are many great websites that can be found all over the internet full of great ideas to help you fulfill your calling, but now that I’m in primary, this has become my lifesaver. Whenever it is my week to do sharing time with the kids, I turn to this trusty website and start looking for fabulous ideas to get creative, and think outside the … Continue reading →

FHE with Small Children-Pioneer Day

Posted on by

So, Sunday, I had the opportunity to teach sharing time in my ward. The topic was honesty, yet with pioneer day being two days away, I wanted to do something to talk about the pioneers too. I of course went to sugardoodle to look for ideas and I came across a great one to tell stories about pioneer children that were being honest. It was a great lesson. You can find that link here. The kids loved this idea so much that I thought it would make a great FHE lesson too. I decided to make a campfire for our … Continue reading →

Resources for Children on LDS.org

Posted on by

As the primary president in my ward, and mother of three little ones, I’m always looking for ideas for lessons, sharing time, family home evening, etc. I have spoken before about the great website sugardoodle.net. But, it looks like the church is beefing up their website a bit to contain similar resources for parents, families, and teachers looking for additional materials online. They have created a new section of the website dedicated to children’s resources. It can be found here. I know that I am personally excited to explore what there is to offer, and what they will be adding … Continue reading →

An FHE for Small Children- Hidden Treasure

Looking for ideas for family home evening for my little children with even smaller attention spans can be challenging. But, this week, we had a fun one. My 3-year old likes pirates, and the lesson was on finding treasure. The original idea can be found here. My 5 year old defined treasure as “something really cool that you find”. I told her that was right! We talked about how a treasure can be anything that is really special. We then talked about our purpose for coming to earth. They needed a little help, but eventually gave the right answers. To … Continue reading →

An FHE For Small Children- Brother of Jared

Posted on by

Lately, we have gotten into the habit of having regular family home evenings. It’s always been a goal of mine as a parent, and I’m proud to say that we are finally implementing it on a regular basis! Yay! So, I thought I would start a series every Monday to share how we adapt very very simple family home evenings to our little family of 5. A 5 year old, a 2 year old, and a baby on the way. My husband and I take turns preparing family home evenings. He gave one recently that my kids LOVED. It was … Continue reading →

Getting More Out of Easter Sunday

Posted on by

It is easy to think of the easter bunny, and candy on Easter Sunday. We might rush around to make sure our kids’ easter baskets are filled, that we’ve dyed the easter eggs, and that we’ve hidden them quietly for our children to find the next morning. But, do we put the same amount of effort into discussing with them why we are doing all of this in the first place? Is Easter really about the Easter bunny? Of course, we know it’s not. I was looking on the church website today and found some very inspirational videos that will … Continue reading →
