Maximizing Your Audible Account
I’m a major book junkie. I’ve loved reading ever since I learned how to read. I remember as early as first grade staying up regularly until 1am reading quietly in my bed. However, I’ve found that as a mother it’s much more difficult to justify snuggling up in a chair all day with a book – […]

The Loaves & Fishes and a Review of Unplanned
Never have I been so excited to attend a movie that I so desperately did not want to see. That’s how I felt going into see Unplanned today. I felt that this movie was important to see, I want it to do well and I thought it should be something everyone should go see – […]

MyTechHigh Reimbursement Tracker
UPDATE 6/6/2024: I have updated this tracker to reflect new budget amounts for kindergarteners and to support half year enrollments. The 2.0 version works much better but if you really want to use this version it should continue to work. The one tricky thing is that if you change the selection for full year/half year […]

Instant Pot Chicken Tortilla Soup (and Other Adventures)
Recently I’ve seen lots of friends requesting favorite Instant Pot recipes. I’m going to guess that many of my friends (like me) got an Instant Pot for Christmas and are still learning how to use it. I always want to respond to my friends but my response (surprise, surprise) is longer than I really want […]

#LightTheWorld Challenge Planning
It’s Christmas time! My 3 year old has been trying to convince me every morning that *today* is in fact Christmas and she should be able to open her presents now but so far I’ve been able to hold her at bay (I’m not sure if that will be true once the snow actually comes). […]

Just Say NO! to Christmas Pyramid Schemes
Ok friends I’ve been seeing these going around on Facebook recently and felt like it needed to be addressed. Let’s start by explaining what this is – a friend posts that they’re looking for people to participate in a gift exchange. The idea is that you just buy 1 gift (in this case valued at […]

Book Recommendations (especially for Audible books)
On Facebook I frequently see people looking for book recommendations. My response is always – well what do you like to read? My personal reading range is all over the map, so I need something to zone in on before making recommendations – or else my Facebook comments become crazy long. However, most of the […]

Travelling Media with Kids
I’ve been asked several times how our family sets up tech in our van when we’re on long trips. We’ve come up with a pretty awesome solution that keeps the kids very happy for the long trips, without fighting, and without spending a fortune. So what we’ve done is purchased Kindle Fire Tablets (http://amzn.to/2taMVqj) […]

Happy Mother’s Day Mom AND Dad!
I know on Mother’s Day we’re supposed to really focus on just our mothers, however today I want to pay a quick tribute to both my mom AND dad. In addition to today being Mother’s Day, today my dad was released as the bishop of my family’s home ward. He has served in that calling […]

Why I Believe – The Book of Mormon
I know, I’ve fallen way off the boat with my “Why I Believe” posts, I’ll fill in more someday. I was asked to speak in church on Sunday about the Book of Mormon. At first I thought I’d end up just reading what I wrote in this blog post… but as I wrote my talk […]

Why is Sunday the Sabbath?
Recently I was thinking about the Sabbath and trying to figure out why it is that we observe the Sabbath on Sunday in Christendom rather than on Saturday like the Jews. I’ve always been taught that we have the Sabbath because on the 7th day God rested from his labors of creating the world and […]

The Easter Miracle
On Thursday I saw on Facebook that the 18 month old son of one of my friends had been found face down in her dad’s pool unresponsive. He had climbed out through a doggy door unnoticed. Over the next 36 hours I followed closely on Facebook as updates were posted – he was moved to […]

Provo City Center Temple – Turning Destruction to Magnificence
Yesterday morning my family was able to go to the Provo City Center Temple Open House. After LDS temples are constructed but before they are dedicated for regular use they have open houses when people of any age or faith can have the opportunity to tour the temple and get a view of what happens […]
