You may remember my love for wraps as a dinner option. They are easy, yummy, and healthy. And my kids love them. The Mission Garden Spinach Wrap are my favorite. They are soft and the perfect size. One of our favorite wraps is using leftover chicken when we make Buttermilk Chicken from Jo Cooks. My…
What is Family night?
You may have seen me post about family night or Family Home Evening. Or maybe you have heard others talk about having FHE. It is one of our family’s favorite traditions. Perhaps you have wondered what it is about or why we have a weekly night dedicated to family time, what usually happens at a…
Musical mania: Bye Bye Birdie & Cherry Coke Floats
Even though we own this movie and my kids have seen it before my boys were really excited. The reason: Cherry Coke Floats. I don’t typically drink caffeinated sodas, but when I was younger and when I would go to Ruby’s I always wanted a Cherry Coke. It was the perfect treat for the musical…
We LOVE Papa
Some of you who know me also know my wonderful Father-in-law. Some children think he is Santa due to his impressive beard and the twinkle in his eye. Others of you may know him as your trusted mechanic at Glenn’s Brake and Alignment. (And if you don’t know him but are near the Orange…

Family Activity Watercolors
I have been trying to have more art in my home. I want my children to grow up and appreciate beautiful things. But art can be expensive sometimes. There are so many paintings I would love to have hang in my home. I am so blessed to have many pieces from my husband’s grandmother. And…
August Dinner Meal Plans

Sunday Thoughts: Testimony Meeting
The first Sunday of the month is kind of a different worship service in my church. Typically during our Sacrament Meeting we gather, sing, and pray. Then it’s the most important part of church: Taking the Sacrament and renewing our covenants we made at baptism. We remember our Savior and think about Him and what…
