Today we’re doing a Love At Home lesson. I chose this one because Colin reminded me that today is the anniversary of our first date. Cute, huh? So, here’s the plan for the lesson (mostly from the FHE Resource Manual lesson on the subject).

Colin did our FHE lesson tonight–he put up a slide show of pictures of our family on the TV for us to watch.

Last night we didn’t do my Repentance lesson for FHE because I’d forgotten that we’d invited the missionaries over to teach the lesson! They came over to teach us a lesson on the Preach My Gospel book that they use to help them learn to be better missionaries. I’ve been trying to read [...]

I think the secret to a successful Family Home Evening (especially with little ones) is to prepare a lot, and then be flexible!

I was thinking about how to do a St. Patrick’s Day Family Home Evening and here’s what I’ve come up with…
We’re not Catholic (obviously), but I think it’s fun to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. I was thinking about having a treasure hunt and explaining about the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. [...]
