2013 Mutual Theme Has Been Announced
I am excited to know that the new theme has been announced and that it comes from the scripture found in D&C 87:8 “Stand Ye in Holy Places, and be not moved, until the day of the Lord come; for behold it cometh quickly, saith the Lord.”You ca…
Sifting Through the Devils lies
“Be Sober, be vigilant; because your adversary, the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.-1 Peter 5:8Satan knows us personally and has had 6000 years to plan how to draw us away- Father Lehi taught us …
Happy Birthday, Primary!
This month we celebrate Primary’s Birthday! 134 years ago Primary got it’s start. Last year we celebrated in Singing Time with candles in a fake cake. The better we sang, the more candles went onto the cake. At the end we sang a birthday song to Primar…
Happy Birthday President Monson
On Tuesday, August 21, President Monson turned 85. We celebrated last Sunday in Singing Time. I brought a gift bag of items that represented something about him. The kids loved getting to know our prophet better and we got to sing lots of songs. Here’s…
All You Need to Know…You learned from Primary Songs!
All you need to know, you learned from Primary Music!!!
You lived in heaven,
Families can be together FOREVER,
Pray He is there-Speak He is listening,
Reverence is more than just quietly sitting,
I BELONG to the Church of Jesus Christ
of Latter Day Saints,
Bring the World His Truth,
I’ll be a Sunbeam for Him
Love One Another,
The Temple is a Holy Place
where we are sealed together, have Faith,
You want your life to be clean
and live with God again,
Search, Ponder and Pray,
Follow the Prophet,
Give, Oh, Give
Keep the Commandments,
Be like the Wise Man, GO and DO as the
Lord Commands, The Scriptures have POWER,
My body is a Temple
Stand for the Right, Saturday is a special day,
And…yes,
Once there was a Snowman,
And you are all made of Hinges..
But most importantly, you are a CHILD of GOD
And Heavenly Father Loves YOU!
For the PDF of this original poem by my mom and I, click here :)
When writing this poem we honestly felt that this was all the children needed to know and remember throughout their life. As music leaders we also need to always remember these simple truths of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Young or old, we need to live the basic gospel principles and remember that we are LOVED.
We all need help and support from others along our path of life. Many other bloggers have helped us along our way as being Music Leaders. Just a spark of inspiration can go a long way and help lift us up for the next weeks adventures! Here is a list of our favorite primary blogs that have helped us along our road:

Where’s mom when I need her activity
The beehives were in charge of our last Joint activity (w/ the YM) and they decided on a skills night.
We had three different classes, Laundry, Money, and Cooking.
When they arrived we divided them into three groups by having them choose a Hershey Kiss off of a platter. On the bottom of the kiss was a colored dot to show which group they would be in.
I used the garage sale dots you can find in the office section of most grocery stores.
The classes lasted 15min each w/ 5 min for rotation.
Money Class
In this class they learned the importance of budgeting and played a little Price Is Right.
Cooking Class
In our cooking class each rotation made something different. The first rotation made no bake cookies, the second rotation made corn bread & honey butter, and the third made chili.
(If you would like the recipes we used feel free to email me and I would be happy to share)
For this class I chose recipes that were fairly basic and simple to make.
Laundry Class
In this class they learned to sort their laundry, which settings you use to wash, basic ironing and sewing on a button. They had a relay where they had to sort clothes, iron a tea towel, & sew a button on a piece of cloth.
After they had rotated to all classes we got together to enjoy our chili, cornbread & honey butter, and our no bake cookies.
I think everyone had a good time and hopefully learned something new.

Recipes used for this activity
No Bake Cookies
- In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, milk, butter, and cocoa. Bring to a boil, and cook for 1 1/2 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in peanut butter, oats, and vanilla. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto wax paper. Let cool until hardened
Sweet Corn Bread
2 pkgs Jiffy cornbread mix
2pkgs Jiffy yellow cake mix
(add ingredients on back of box for each box and follow baking instructions)
Honey butter
2 sticks real butter, (close to room temp- works best when slightly chilled still.)
2/3 C honey
¾ C powdered sugar
2/3 C honey
¾ C powdered sugar
(If your butter is too soft, you’ll end up with a gooey mess, so I just leave it out on the counter for about 20 minutes or so before beating and it turns out nice and fluffy)
Just place it all in a bowl and beat with an electric hand-mixer for 2-3 minutes on medium-high speed. Serve at room temp.
Chili
1 lb of ground beef
1 pkg chili seasoning
2 cans tomato soup
2 cans red kidney beans
chopped onion
Brown ground beef in large pot with onion and drain, add seasoning, soups, and beans. Add water as needed. simmer for 15 min. (we doubled the recipe to feed everyone)
It’s pretty Corny
Every year our girls want to go to the Corn Maze for a Young Women Activity- and every year we want to take them. We stay away from the haunted portion of it because frankly we do not see that as a means of bringing them closer to Jesus…
Lesson 29/Manual 1
The Second ComingThis lesson is to help the YW understand that they are a Royal generation. So of course crowns and tiaras were the first thing that hit my brain. image sourceI’ve seen and used these little tiaras in the party favor section at Par…
Lesson 35/Manual 1
Living Righteously Amid PressuresMy first thought on this lesson was to use the example of diamonds. How because of the pressure they’re exposed to they become beautiful things. And I think this would be a fun way to go with this lesson.But as I was go…
Secret Words
With program review in full swing, it’s time to spice things up a bit. These last weeks before the program can be tedious, singing those songs in order time and again! This activity is SUPER simple, and totally hilarious.You can do this by …
