You may have friends or family talk about “General Conference” and wonder what it is all about. I would hate to exclude anyone or make anyone feel left out. I thought it would be nice to share what Conference means to me. Twice a year my faith holds a conference. There is actually a Conference…
Women’s Conference Highlights
Today was our Church’s annual Women’s Conference. The week before General Conference we gather as women of the church to hear talks to encourage and inspire.

Musical Mania: Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream coat
With school back in the swing of things it’s been much harder finding time to watch our weekly musicals. My girlfriend was telling me about a live performance they were able to attend. Her kids loved Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat. She had the DVD and was so sweet to let us…
We heart tea parties and one on one time
A couple of Saturday ago we didn’t have any social obligations which I was pretty excited about. I love camping and going to California but it is nice to be home and get stuff done. I was busy working on projects without having to worry about picking up kids and weekday commitments. And then…
Utah Historic Site: George Taylor, jr Home
One thing I’ve always wanted to do was to go to Utah with my Grandma. She was born and raised in Provo, Utah. She would tell me stories about growing up and reference Utah streets like I had been there and knew it well. I’ve only been there like 5 times in my life. And…

Family Camping
A couple of weeks ago our Church had a Ward Campout. It was such a blast! Last year we weren’t able to make it and my boys were devastated. So when my hubby remembered he was singing in a concert that same night I decided to take the kids on my own. It made it…
