For Family Home Evening tonight we’re going to talk about Taking Care of our Bodies. Our bodies are sacred gifts that Heavenly Father has given us to learn to take care of and use. In our family we need to be thankful for our bodies (by appreciating all the things we can do with them) [...]

It occurs to me that not everyone knows how to pack a diaper bag, especially those who are having babies or babysitting for the first time. There are differences in what you need on hand depends a lot on the age of the child you are caring for and how long your outing/trip will be, [...]

Last night I carpooled to a friend’s baby shower with Jane and Natalie and we had a great adventure getting there. At first we got a little lost on the route to the hostess’ house (the directions from one of the other guests included taking a roud “through the swamp-looking area”), and then we drove [...]
