My kids go back to school this week and it’s time to adjust our schedule. I don’t know about you, but getting my kids enough sleep is a huge priority for me. If they don’t get enough sleep, they are usually really grumpy and then everyone’s stressed and the kids are often late for school. […]

FHEasy Recipes: Pumped Up Mac ‘n Cheese
Like most moms I know, I’m always interested in gathering fast recipes and I occasionally I ask my friends what they like to make when time is especially tight or when they’d rather spend time somewhere besides the kitchen. One day I asked my friend Sarah what she makes, and she laughed and said, “Macaroni […]
When FHE Seems Doomed
THE TALE OF A DOOMED FHE Recently, it was time for family home evening and I was really looking forward to it. My husband wouldn’t be coming back from work before the kids needed to go to bed, so I was flying solo. We got started okay and had a little lesson during dinner, but […]

FHE Quote: “That Our Children May Know”
“How do we lead our children to deep conversion and to access our Savior’s Atonement?” Linda Reeves posed this question in a wonderful general conference talk in April 2014. I found her entire talk very interesting, but I wanted to share a couple of parts I find especially relevant to family home evening and scripture […]
Do you really have to do FHE on the 4th?
Happy Fourth of July! A big holiday like this begs the question: If our regular FHE time falls on a big family holiday, do we really have to do all the holiday things AND family home evening, too? I love this question because it invites some other thought-provoking questions. Have you set up your family […]
FHEasy for the Fourth of July
Next Monday is the fourth of July, so if you are a US citizen, now’s a good time to take a minute and think about your FHEasy plans. I have some ideas to share below, but before I forget, here’s last year’s post on one of my favorite “red, white, and blue” desserts: berries and […]
