To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
The other day, while going down the freeway, I passed a billboard that invited families to come to family night activities. I immediately thought of all the places that that might include: museums, gardens, movie houses, entertainment centers, etc. It’s a nice idea to go, as an entire family–ANYWHERE–just for fun.

Once a month we have a family home evening where all of us– the married kids, grandkids, college students, and parents– get together. Recently, it was my turn to be in charge and I decided to have a dinner activity. This activity entailed creating a dinner plan out of the different sections of the Plan […]
We know King Benjamin was a righteous and effective leader of the Nephite people.

This is such a great idea. Thanks for sending this in!! “A few weeks ago my third daughter turned 10, and I began preparing for our Mother/Daughter Birthday Date, which has become a “Coming of Age” tradition in our home. This tradition began when my first daughter turned 10. She was in 4th grade, and […]
I haven’t needed to go out prom dress hunting much, so going out these past couple of days has been an eye opener. Living in Utah, I guess I had some assumptions that have now been cleared up and I am here to report both good and bad news. The bad news is that the […]
In General Conference (Nov. 2010), Elder Larry R. Lawrence gave a talk on Courageous Parenting. I was so grateful for this talk, I practically underlined the whole thing. My husband and I admit we were blessed with good kids, but you know, even good kids can wander off into paths unknown. Where this isn’t the […]
