{Sharing Time} Joseph Smith Translated the Book of Mormon by the Power of God.

April 7, 2015


Sharing Time Idea from the 2015 Sharing Time Outline
ENCOURAGE UNDERSTANDING: Write power of God on the board using a code (for example, you could replace each letter with a symbol). Ask if anyone can read the message. Write a key on the board that shows which letters the symbols replaced, and have the children work in groups to decode the message. (Remind the children not to call out the answer.) Read the phrase together. Read D&C 1:29.
Explain that Joseph Smith could not read the writing on the gold plates without the help of the Lord. Invite the children to share what they know about how Joseph Smith was able to translate the Book of Mormon. Invite several children to share how they feel about the Book of Mormon.

Sharing Time Idea from Little LDS Ideas
In my Sharing Time idea, I have a game idea that you can use for Jr. and/or Sr. Primary. It’s called ‘Search for the Gold Plates’. This is an activity I shared years ago, but would be great for this week’s Sharing Time. 


First, to begin the Sharing Time I thought it would be fun to show ‘The Book of Mormon’ written in several different languages. 

Then ask if anyone can read any of the writings. You could go over each one, telling them what language it is written in. Then ask them, ‘Wouldn’t it be hard to read something in a different language?’

‘You would have to know the language wouldn’t you?’


 Tell them that when Joseph Smith received the plates, they were written in a very weird language. The language was Reformed Egyptian.

Here is an example of Reformed Egyptian that you could show to the children.
After you have discussed how hard it would be to translate…you will explain to the children that they will be searching for the Gold Plates.

What you will Need:
You’ll need to print out a picture of a stone/rock (Here’s the image I used). You’ll also need a few file folders or boxes.

Print out your rock {just find a picture online} and cut it out. Attach the rock to the front of the file folder. That’s easy enough, right?

Then, inside place a picture of the Gold Plates. You’ll only need one picture of the Gold Plates. Underneath the other rocks you could put silly pictures. I.E- Snakes, bugs, a shoe, etc.

Here is my picture using a box instead of a file folder. You’ll want to cover the box with brown or green paper. Then attach the picture to the top of the box. You could use any type of box.

Inside, place the Gold Plates. If you are feeling very craftsy, you could always make some gold plates.

I know at our church, in the library, we have some gold plates that someone made using wood. They’re really neat, the children loved them. And the same as above, you’ll only need one set of Gold Plates, you could put other things in the other boxes.

And that’s it!

I share several different ways you could play. Just click the link below to read the whole Sharing Time Idea and to print it out.

Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope you have a wonderful day & a great Sharing Time!

{Giveaway} The Home Executive Planner Giveaway

April 6, 2015

Back in 2012 I was lucky enough to receive my very first Home Executive Planner to review and give away here on my blog.

Ever since then I have been in love.

I have used Jen’s planners for years and have loved every single one that she creates. I love that they are a great price…they help me stay organized (well…I try)…AND they’re super cute!


I follow Jen’s blog on Facebook {HERE} and saw that she just came out with her newest 2015/2016 planner.

I immediately looked at what her planner looked like and the new changes she made.

Swoon….I loved it! And I had to have one, so I ordered one.

A few days later I received an email from Jen asking me if I would hold another giveaway for her and review her newest planner for her.

I told Jen I would love to share her wonderful planner with all of my awesome readers! So today, you have the opportunity to enter to win your very own Home Executive Planner!

But first, here’s some great features that the Home Executive Planner include:
–The cover is extra cool (which will totally improve your planning!) with embossing and gloss!
-The biggest improvement are TABS!!!!

-There are motivational quotes at the beginning of every month.

-There are shopping categories for your weekly shopping lists.

-There are 5 customizable columns for each day.

-There is a meal planning section for each day.

-There are pockets in the front and the back.

-All of the dates for all of 2015 and 2016 are located in the front and back.

-In the front there is a chart for the entire year to track your bills that need to be paid monthly.

-At the end of each month, there is a monthly budget page.

-In the back there are six blank pages for notes.

-There is a Birthday Page in the back to keep all of your birthdays written down in one place.

-Last but not least there are 2 pages of fun stickers in the back to help make planning fun!


Just a FEW things I love about my Home Executive Planner

One thing I am super excite about in this year’s planner is the TABS!
Not having tabs wasn’t a huge deal, but having tabs will make finding the month I’m on a lot easier. 

I absolutely love her ‘Dinners’ column. I have to plan a weekly menu, or else we would be stuck eating chicken nuggets and macaroni, haha. I love cooking and trying new recipes, so I love planning my menu.

And then right beside the menu is the groceries list. Brilliant! This year she brought back the categorized shopping list, love it!

And since we’re talking about cooking and food, another thing I’m loving about this planner is the recipe pages in the back of the planner. Yep, Jen shares some yummy recipes for you to try.


I love that this planner has a monthly calendar as well as a weekly calendar section. The weekly calendar section is split into 5 columns. I love this because I am able to have a column for Me & Hubby, one for the kiddos, one for Church callings, one for Blog, and a Misc. column. The columns are left blank, so you can change them up from week to week. Maybe one week you would like to have a cleaning section or a To-Do section.
See that cute ribbon/book mark? In the planner I received from Jen she included the ribbon attachment to act as a bookmark since that was one improvement they were not able to make permanent with this year’s planner.  She is planning to write a post on her blog about ‘how to add’ that yourself, but you can receive one with your planner iF order from Jen’s website.



One last item I love about Jen’s planner is the fun stickers!

In each Home Executive Planner you will have 2 sheets of fun stickers. I have loved using the stickers in all of my planners.


Here’s a peek into my planner that I’m currently using. See the stickers? I love them!

Alright…so have you totally fallen for the Home Executive Planner? If you would like to take a look into this year’s planner then visit Jen’s Blog, HERE!

Resurrection Easter Egg Activity

April 1, 2015

The Resurrection of Christ….the greatest event to ever take place for us….

I have SO loved this idea since getting it once in Relief Society in a lesson on the great sacrifice of our Savior and His Atonement. I have used this around the Easter dinner table in my family. I’ve used it teaching teenagers in Sunday School and in a Family Night. And I’ve reused it in primary.

Kids love object lessons. And this easter egg “signs of the Savior’s Sacrifice for us” is a great object lesson for kids and adults alike.  Every year, when I’ve taken out my little basket of eggs I’ve got a tear in my eye. I love the Savior. I believe in Him with all my heart. And I know in whom I have trusted.

If you want to hear a great talk check it out HERE.

In this chaotic life we are all a part of, it is a simple and clear walk through the steps to the Savior’s crucifixion and  resurrection, easily understood. I would try to do this activity as a family on Easter Sunday.

I love this painting depicting the sacrifice our Savior made for us….

As a former Catholic, and a convert to the church,  I always have mixed feelings about not telling exactly what happened to Christ during his great sacrifice in Gethsemane and the events leading up to the Crucifixion. Why not recognize the greatest sacrifice ever made, given by the greatest who ever lived among us, on the universal celebration of Easter?  I never did get that. Try to honor the Savior on Easter. That’s my simple and heartfelt message.

Another favorite painting of mine…I’m looking for a big copy of it to put in my greatroom remodel…it says to me….”I will look for you  when you  are lost…even though you are odd, different, ugly, damaged”  His love for us, evident.

The eggs can be put together using this easy tutorial HERE at Serving Pink Lemonade’s blog. . Use stuff around the house to fill your eggs. Another with a LIST is HERE at scribd.com. I actually like both of them. You could do a combination of both lists. I would skip the vinegar though, yucky :D.  A third lists is here copied from Yahoo Voices.

Egg #1: (palm) Jesus rode into Jerusalem and the people waved palm branches. Matthew 21:1-11
Egg #2: (cotton ball with cologne on it) Mary poured perfume on Jesus’ feet. John 12:3
Egg #3: (bread) Jesus shared the Last Supper with His disciples. Matthew 26:26
Egg #4: (coins) Judas betrayed Jesus for 30 pieces of silver. Matthew 26: 14-15
Egg #5: (a thorny stick) Soldiers placed a crown of thorns on Jesus’ head. John 19:2
Egg #6: (cross made from toothpicks) Jesus carried His own cross. John 19:17
Egg #7: (dice) Soldiers took Jesus’ clothes from him and cast lots for them. John 19:24
Egg #8: (nail) Jesus was nailed to the cross. John 19:18
Egg #9: (sponge) They gave Jesus vinegar mixed with gall to drink. Matthew 27:34
Egg #10: (whole cloves) Spices are used to prepare Jesus for burial. John 19:40
Egg #11: (rock) The stone covering to Jesus’ tomb was rolled away. Matthew 28:2
Egg #12: (empty) He is not here He has risen! Matthew 28:6

 Some links for flipcards on good Easter songs  are HERE at Precious Primary.  1. Jesus Has Risen 70, 2. Hosanna 66, Beautiful Savior 62 To Think About Jesus 71, etc. HERE  is a flipchart on He Sent His Son at Sugardoodle. Pick a child to come up and choose an egg. Read the scripture inside and show what object is inside and explain what part it played in the Easter story. It is usually a very quiet and reverent time.

This picture is from another bogger Beyond Sippy Cups HERE.

 I loved getting this for my family and using it many times. It has made a big difference in my life and my family’s too I believe.

I am looking forward to Easter and Conference. My little kid’s table all ready…..

These eggs can be used for Resurrection Easter Eggs and the leftovers for an Easter Egg Hunt! 

“The grace of God is a precious gift, an enabling power to face life with quiet courage, to do things we could never do on our own. The Great Physician does more than forgive sins. He ministers relief to the disconsolate, comfort to the bereaved, confidence to those who wrestle with infirmities and feelings of inadequacy, and strength and peace to those who have been battered and scarred by the ironies of this life.” Robert Millett (see Isaiah 61:1–2, Alma 7:11–13).” 

As we contemplate the gifts we have received from our Savior, and Redeemer, I have hope and trust in the above quote. I know there is a power we can turn to when life gets hard. And I, for one, need that power every single day.
