Perfecting the Saints — One Lesson at a Time
New calling! I’m serving in the Stake YW as first counselor. To be honest, I’d be a lot more comfortable in the Stake YM (because of my four sons), but I’ll do my best to get used to it. I anticipate lots of upcoming projects relating to Girl’s Camp and youth dances… For now, I […]
Next month the youth in our ward are participating in a missionary month. The Young Women and Young Men leaders have planned special lessons and activities to help familiarize them with missionary life. Many of these will take place on Sunday, others will replace weekly mutual activities. Some of these activities will naturally include our […]
I like the way my “Choose the Rite” logo tag turned out so I’m sharing it here. It’s meant to be attached to a bottle or can of Sprite! I am using one that is black and white printed on yellow card stock (clean and cheap, just the way I like it). There’s a […]
I had a request for a scripture poster for the youth theme for 2017. This version doesn’t even have a title because the theme for the youth this year is just “Ask.” Check out the details on lds.org. So this is just the first page of James blown up to poster size. Available below in 18 x […]
About five years ago I put together this super simple Service advent for my family and posted it on my personal family blog. I still really like it. It is so simple and almost every single activity is inexpensive and quick. Because at the beginning of December I have lots of energy for extra festivities. But […]
One of the first projects I shared on The Mormon Home was our ward Priesthood Preview–about two years ago! Those printables were overdue for an update and I really like the new look I’m sharing here today. Feel free to use for your ward, print, and share! The main look is the same across the […]
I had a request for a one page compilation of the summary statements and images. Voila Click here for the PDF.
My Mormonism runs deep in my bones: it is the faith of my fathers. My life’s work–my children–is bearing the fruit of this faith. Undeniably one of the more unique aspects of my religion is the doctrine of family. A child of divorced parents, a great-great-great-grandchild of polygamists and pioneers: my understanding of family has […]
Two of my boys are going on a Pioneer Trek in a the next two weeks! Our stake has done an amazing job of putting together families and organizing our event in California. It seems like just about every stake we’ve ever lived in has a Pioneer Trek on the schedule for youth conference every few […]
Every fall after the Primary program we hold a “Thank You” lunch for our Primary teachers! It’s so fun to get together outside of church, without a lot of pressing needs to address. We usually prepare a small take-home treat (lotion or soap or chocolate), but this year I decided that I wanted to give each […]
We have gone out of our way to try to reward the children in our Primary without food, but even so, we just wind up replacing food with small trinkets and gifts. I’m not sure exactly how to keep kids motivated (or if it even works!) but I’m interested in finding truly unique ways to […]
We just helped my oldest son complete a fundraiser for his Eagle project. Ultimately all funds will go towards fabric for Project Linus. We were so thrilled that the fundraiser covered all of the cost of the fabric and more, so I thought I’d share the project here with you! I know fundraising for youth […]
