General Conference Bingo is a fun activity to keep kids engaged with the conference speakers. Our regular General Conference tradition is to have a food that is assigned to each apostle. Whenever that apostle speaks, we get to eat his assigned food. See it here: General Conference Feast (printable) But tonight I was in the…

Follow the Biblical events of Easter week with your family using these free Holy Week printables I’ve been thinking for a while now that I don’t really know the Biblical events leading up to Easter that well. I know the basics—The triumphal entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, the Last Supper, Jesus’ trial and crucifixion,…

As usual, I loved General Conference last month. This time around, listening to it made me realize I needed to step back and figure out my priorities and really start focusing more on my family. Not that I wasn’t focusing on my family before, but I was letting less important things get in the way….
For the past couple of years, we’ve been doing a fun General Conference tradition that my family loves. I wanted to find a good way to make conference something they looked forward to and that somehow inspired them to pay attention. I saw a few ideas that incorporated food—always a great motivator, especially for my…
The visiting teaching message for the month of September is titled Of One Heart. The message is about Zion and how that means we are unified and work together (it calls to mind the lyrics of As Sisters in Zion, actually). I loved Elder Ballard’s quote about being one: “At the heart of the English…
The visiting teaching message for August is titled “Living a Consecrated Life.” Consecrating our lives to God means that we are giving our whole selves—not just our material possessions—to God. In doing so, we become true disciples. So many of the quotes in this lesson struck me. I loved the quote by Carole M. Stephens:…
The visiting teaching message for July 2017 is called That They May Be One. The gist of the message is that perfect unity with Jesus Christ and with our Father in Heaven should be a goal of ours. Elder D. Todd Christofferson said, “Jesus achieved perfect unity with the Father by submitting Himself, both flesh…
The visiting teaching message for June 2017 is titled Priesthood Power through Keeping Covenants.

The lesson emphasizes that our homes can be blessed by the strength of priesthood power, regardless of our circumstances. It then…
