General Conference Each six months, I feel like my heart yearns for General Conference more and more. I love this weekend so much. I love feeling encouraged but also motivated to change. I love having a weekend where the outside world is quieted and we just get to immerse ourselves in family and the gospel. …
Well it finally happened. And not that there is ever a good time to get sick, but it happened at a really bad time. Mark was feeling a little off a couple weeks ago, but I honestly just thought he was tired and it was catching up to him. My parents were coming into town …
A couple weeks ago, Lydia had a swallow study done. This is something that has been talked about since our very first appointment we had for Lydia when we became concerned about her development. Lydia’s reflux is just relentless. She is on medication and we do a lot at home to try and help her …
We love our holidays! St. Patrick’s Day was FULL. I got up early and got myself ready and made our traditional St. Patrick’s Day breakfast. Yummy! Then Lydia and I drove down to Broomfield to have a swallow study done on Lydia. That was a whole thing and I will do a separate post for …

This talk has been brought to my attention several times over the last six months and the Holy Ghost has been making it very known to me that I needed this one. There were things in this talk by Elder Jonathan S. Schmidt that I really needed to hear on a personal level. They say …
At the end of February, Mark and I celebrated our twelfth anniversary! Our anniversary fell on a Sunday + a Sunday where Mark was in the middle of his night shifts which = essentially no time in the same room, let alone a solid conversation with one another. We have entered a very busy stage …
I have heard of the Explode the Code series for as long as we’ve been homeschooling. But for us, I never really saw a place for it. HOWEVER, that changed this last year. When Ben was having a difficult time learning his A, B, C’s, I really did not know what to do. I tried …
