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 […]
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 […]
Keep the Commandments and Prosper?
When I was a kid I truly believed that if I did everything “right” that I would be happy and when I got married, I’d be happily married with a bunch of happy kids because we all did everything “right”. You know, “Keep the commandments and you’ll prosper in the land.” WOW! WAS I IN […]
FHEasy Recipe: Lemon Fettuccine

I Used to Hate Mother’s Day … Until This
I hope some mothers love Mother’s Day, but I know an awful lot of us hate it. In my case, I didn’t mind it till after I got married and wanted kids but didn’t have any, I wasn’t pregnant, and the people handing out Mother’s Day gifts at church pointedly passed me … three years […]
Are the Scriptures Your Liahona?
In Alma 37, Alma teaches that the word of God is meant to be a liahona to anyone who reads and heeds them. That is really a wonderful idea, isn’t it? But is that your reality? Could it become your reality? In the book Change Your Questions, Change Your Life, Wendy Watson Nelson, President Russell […]
