Sunday-Sundae Object Lesson
Today I want to share with you a fun object lesson that I use in FHEasy in the “Sabbath Day Observance” lesson: making a yummy sundae (BTW – This activity was adapted from Richard R. Eubank’s book Is There an Object to Your Lesson?, page 66.) Set out a couple flavors of ice cream and […]
Quick FHE Conference Followup
Wow! What an amazing conference! For the FHE following conference we simply talked about what stood out to us as we watched conference. My two older girls and my husband all talked about Carl Cook’s story about his grandpa hollering, “Per ‘er in compound, Dorothy!” They remembered the visual of the gears working together. I […]
Consistency Counts!
As all parents know, real life happens. And it happened to us last week. My youngest daughter had a fever, my middle daughter felt sick to her stomach, my husband was outside trying to get a bunch of work done, we were a little late with dinner … and it was family home evening! It […]
How to Get Confident about FHE
This is the third post in a series about common challenges with FHE: Time issues, Mood issues, and now the issue of getting to family night and not knowing what to do. NOT KNOWING WHAT TO DO Wow. This is a hard one to face at family home evening time, but actually an easy one […]

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 […]
Helping Kids Get Enough Sleep
Last week, I shared a simple experiment that I used to learn how much sleep I need. Getting enough sleep dramatically improves my connection with my family and the quality of our family home evenings and scripture study. This week, I’m sharing how I’ve helped my kids learn how much sleep they need in a […]
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 […]
