I think the secret to a successful Family Home Evening (especially with little ones) is to prepare a lot, and then be flexible! When you see a FHE plan on my site I’ve often got a lot of things to talk about during the lesson and sometimes elaborate dessert ideas. There’s almost always more stuff [...]

I was thinking about how to do a St. Patrick’s Day Family Home Evening and here’s what I’ve come up with…

I grew up mostly in Arizona where we lived independent of the time-changing madness and since I’ve moved to Savings Time-observing regions I’ve come to appreciate the sanity of the state I grew up in.
