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 […]

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 […]
FHE: Mood Issues
Is anyone in your family ever tired and grumpy right when family home evening is supposed to start? Or do you have a mix of tired adults and wired little ones? Whatever the case is at your house, one thing’s certain: everyone’s mood affects how family home evening unfolds. You can be a powerful influence […]
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!

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 […]
FHE – Can it be marvelous?
There’s so much potential with family home evening and scripture study, especially when you get skilled at planning and stress management. When you’ve planned ahead and set aside enough time that you are relaxed, and then you show up to family home evening in a positive mood, everything changes. Family time is no longer another […]

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 […]
