FHE: A Blessing or a Curse?
Let’s get really honest. Family home evening can be really frustrating, stressful, and disconnecting. The exact opposite of what it’s meant to be! I find over and over again that families aren’t enjoying family home evening as much as they would like, and it can feel very discouraging. I also find that the issues that […]
Free FHEasy Lesson: Seminary and Doctrin...
FHEasy LESSON ON SEMINARY! For many seminary students, it’s that time again. Time for school and seminary. In honor of this, I’ve made a special FHEasy lesson that focuses on seminary and includes the seven DOCTRINAL MASTERY scriptures not used in my book FHEasy (see below for a note about one of these scriptures). In […]
FHEasier with Sleep
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. […]
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 […]

Here’s my Father’s Day post from last year that has my husband’s favorite homemade ice cream recipe as well as an explanation of why we focus […]
Nuts and Bolts: How FHE Actually Runs in...
So, I wrote the book, right? FHEasy is a pretty bold title for someone who came from a family where many family home evenings were unsuccessful. But, it’s true. Family home evening is easy for us. It’s not stressful for me anymore, ever. So here’s how it usually works. While everyone is eating breakfast on Sunday morning, […]
FHE with the “My Gospel Standards” Prima
In my book FHEasy, I frequently quote from the Primary poster “My Gospel Standards” in the sections for younger children. This is a poster for Primary-aged children that lists thirteen standards for gospel living and has a watermark of the Salt Lake City temple in the background. On the bottom of the poster, it has […]
My #1 Best Idea for Fast FHE Activities
Here’s one of my favorite tips for getting lots of fun and variety into your FHEs. Simply get a box (or a bag), some recipe cards, and a pen. Then quickly go through your house looking for things your family loves to play with but doesn’t do very often. Maybe all the toys are in a […]
