General Conference Bingo is a fun activity to keep kids engaged with the conference speakers. Our regular General Conference tradition is to have a food that is assigned to each apostle. Whenever that apostle speaks, we get to eat his assigned food. See it here: General Conference Feast (printable) But tonight I was in the…
This General Conference quote jar is a perfect activity to do with your young women or to make for your ministering sisters! Free printables and simple instructions included. I’ve had the idea of pulling one quote from each talk in General Conference and making a quote jar with them for a couple years. I have…
Apparently I only am able to do these bookmarks in the spring, but…it’s spring! And we had a wonderful General Conference at the beginning of this month. I have really enjoyed having these bookmarks to help me study conference, so I’m excited for my Ensign to come so I can get started! One of the…
For the past couple of years, we’ve been doing a fun General Conference tradition that my family loves. I wanted to find a good way to make conference something they looked forward to and that somehow inspired them to pay attention. I saw a few ideas that incorporated food—always a great motivator, especially for my…
Picking a quote from the April 2017 General Conference to take to my sisters for May visiting teaching is the hardest thing for me. There are so many wonderful talks and so many great lessons I personally learned from Conference that it’s really hard to choose! This month, I settled on Elder Holland’s talk, “Songs…
Last April I made these General Conference study bookmarks, and I really enjoyed using them as a way to study the General Conference talks when my Ensign came. I didn’t get around to doing them in October because we were on our sabbatical and everything was a little topsy turvy, but I enjoyed them so…
Choosing which quote to feature this month was really difficult, you guys! I always love General Conference so much and so many different little sound bites inspire me greatly. That’s why, in the end, I chose to highlight Elder Holland’s talk for my May 2016 visiting teaching message. Elder Holland’s talk is titled “Tomorrow the…
I always have really good intentions to study the conference talks before the next General Conference rolls around. I rarely succeed, though, and it’s mostly just because I don’t really have anything keeping me accountable. So, I decided to change that this time around. When our General Conference editions of the Ensign arrived (we always…
Now that I have two teenagers (yes, I did say TWO TEENAGERS, what has happened to my life?), it’s becoming more difficult to make General Conference special. I want them to be inspired and to listen, but I still want them to be just as excited about it as they were when they were in…
You guys, I LOVED General Conference last month. The Maestro was in Argentina conducting an orchestra there at the time and on Saturday morning it was really hard for me to gather the girls and get ourselves ready to watch. I almost didn’t do it. And then Saturday morning session happened. And I am SO…
The word “homemaker” gets a bad rap. Somehow it seems to make people think of apron-wearing women who are constantly mopping or folding laundry, and no woman seems to want to be associated with the oppressive images that the word “homemaker” conjures up. When I was a child, it seems that the word was already…
This weekend was October General Conference. I love everything about it. I love sleeping in on Sunday morning instead of having to get up early and get everyone ready for church. I love napping between sessions. Or during sessions. Puccini loves napping during sessions. I love eating good food during conference. (We no longer do…
