Here’s an idea for an object lesson on spiritual protection. I first ran across this idea in seminary. OK so let’s say that the peel represents the armor of God. When you have the armor of God on, you float! (You are able to overcome temptation, trials, etc.) Another thing you could relate it to …

Here’s the recipe for lumpia, my all-time favorite Filipino food. If you’re an egg roll lover, you have to try lumpia! I learned how to make lumpia while serving my mission in the Philippines.

Wouldn’t it be nice if movies were always as family-friendly as their ratings claim them to be? Unfortunately, movie ratings don’t always tell us everything we’d like to know when selecting appropriate media for our families. Most of us have had an experience when we are excited to see a new movie. Both the rating and …

How do you know when your oil is hot enough for frying? When making scones, Navajo tacos, or anything deep-fried, I was in the dark. I’d usually just flick some water and see if it sizzled or drop in a tiny piece of dough to see if the oil was hot enough. Not anymore! …

Here’s some ideas for how to make going to school with a baby easier, while putting your baby first. There are various reasons a mom may need to balance school and motherhood responsibilities, and there’s no perfect way to go about it.

Recently I discovered the awesomeness of German pancakes muffin-style! I’ll never go back. Here’s why: Easier clean-up – Less middle surface area makes it less likely to stick to the pan (at least that’s been my experience). Easier to serve – You don’t have to cut it. It’s already in individual pieces for the everyone to help …

My husband ran across this on Youtube. If you’ve ever seen the movie 17 Miracles (if you haven’t you need to!) it’s the song at the end of the movie. The thing I like about it is that you can tell that the singer is personally invested in the message of the song. He’s not just …

Here’s a tutorial about how to sew a baby graduation cap and gown! The Finished Product: As you can see, the cap and gown turned out darling, and the little graduate looked very cute. We simply overlapped the flaps in front, but a safety pin would have held it down better. All right, here you …

This is probably my all-time favorite song ever. I discovered it while on my mission. My companion had it on her compilation of EFY songs.

My favorite holiday is Easter. I feel like it’s an overlooked holiday that deserves more attention. I’m not really talking about the secular side of Easter, although I do think that even egg-hunts and the Easter bunny can be symbolic and point us to the real meaning of Easter. But the part about Easter I …
