Nuts and Bolts: How FHE Actually Runs in...

It’s not stressful for me anymore, ever. So here’s how it usually works. While everyone is eating breakfast on Sunday morning, […]
“Do You Still Read Your Children Scriptu
When people learn about my family home evening and scripture study book FHEasy, they see that we do a short topical scripture each day. One question that comes up is, “Do you read your kids scripture stories or do you just read your scripture for the day and call it good?” We do both. Someone, […]

Tina’s Homemade Granola
This is a recipe I make regularly so I can have quick cold cereal with ingredients I know are healthy. I make a double batch, freeze some, and keep it on hand for breakfast, part of a quick FHE dinner, or as a topping for fruit desserts like berries and cream. I love berries and […]
Is Monday Mandatory?
One Monday night, my family was really rushed and stressed. My husband and I were watching the clock, racing to get everyone fed, bathed, and ready for bed. Family home evening wasn’t looking like it was going to happen if we didn’t want zombies in the morning. I remember looking over my oldest daughter’s head across […]
