Temple Open House In Brigham City- Part II

Posted on by

My little family made it to the open house last night. It was fun to get to go on a little short trip and show them something so meaningful. As we were driving there, I could tell my kids were excited. As we made our exit off of the freeway, the temple spires were in the distance and we pointed it out to the kids. It was a beautiful sight at this time of year to see those white spires against the brown mountains behind it. When we got there, we had to be shuttled in to the temple grounds … Continue reading →

On September 23rd, another Utah temple will be dedicated. The Brigham City temple.

It is often a tradition in many mormon homes to give back to school blessings at the beginning of each school year. Or, at least it was in mine.

I remember feeling safe, and warm, and knowing that not only did my earthly Father love me, but my Heavenly Father did too. Giving your children back to school blessings is a great way to calm … Continue reading →

Does a Messy Home Mean Happier Kids?

Posted on by

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about having a more peaceful home. Not too long ago I wrote about how I am trying to NOT yell at my kids in the article, The Voice of Domestic Peace. Part of working on that goal is working on eliminating stress from my life. There is a direct correlation between stress in my life, and how often I raise my voice at my kids. I want it to stop. Unfortunately, like the rest of the world, there are a lot of things that cause me stress. It is in my genetics to have … Continue reading →
