A back-to-school feast and family theme is a great way to kick off the school year for your kids. This tradition is something they look forward to every year and helps them to be excited to go back to school. One of our favorite family traditions is our annual Back-to-School Feast. The night before school…
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…
Follow the Biblical events of Easter week with your family using these free Holy Week printables I’ve been thinking for a while now that I don’t really know the Biblical events leading up to Easter that well. I know the basics—The triumphal entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, the Last Supper, Jesus’ trial and crucifixion,…
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…
As usual, I loved General Conference last month. This time around, listening to it made me realize I needed to step back and figure out my priorities and really start focusing more on my family. Not that I wasn’t focusing on my family before, but I was letting less important things get in the way….

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…

The visiting teaching message for the month of September is titled Of One Heart. The message is about Zion and how that means we are unified and work together (it calls to mind the lyrics of As Sisters in Zion, actually). I loved Elder Ballard’s quote about being one: “At the heart of the English…
The visiting teaching message for August is titled “Living a Consecrated Life.” Consecrating our lives to God means that we are giving our whole selves—not just our material possessions—to God. In doing so, we become true disciples. So many of the quotes in this lesson struck me. I loved the quote by Carole M. Stephens:…
The visiting teaching message for July 2017 is called That They May Be One. The gist of the message is that perfect unity with Jesus Christ and with our Father in Heaven should be a goal of ours. Elder D. Todd Christofferson said, “Jesus achieved perfect unity with the Father by submitting Himself, both flesh…
The visiting teaching message for June 2017 is titled Priesthood Power through Keeping Covenants. I read through the message and thought it was apropos for June, since that is when we celebrate Father’s Day. The lesson emphasizes that our homes can be blessed by the strength of priesthood power, regardless of our circumstances. It then…
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…
