Today I want to talk about how family home evening and family scripture study are strategies that are intended to meet a variety of human needs. In NVC, people think in terms […]

Quick Encouraging FHE Quote
Happy December! It’s a busy season, that’s for sure. I wanted to share a favorite quote to encourage you to keep your focus on your family this month and have good FHEs despite the busyness.

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 […]
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!

FHEasy Recipe: Lemon Fettuccine
I love this recipe. It so creamy, yet there’s no cream, which is good for me since I’m one of those people that doesn’t do so well with dairy products. That is sometimes a real bummer, but with recipes like this one, the issue becomes a non-issue. I made this recently and it took me […]
FHE Quote: “That Our Children May Know”
“How do we lead our children to deep conversion and to access our Savior’s Atonement?” Linda Reeves posed this question in a wonderful general conference talk in April 2014. I found her entire talk very interesting, but I wanted to share a couple of parts I find especially relevant to family home evening and scripture […]
