Here are my favorite parts from the recent General Conference given by our prophet: “The increasing darkness that accompanies tribulation makes the light of Jesus Christ shine ever brighter. Regardless of where you live or what your circumstances are, the Lord Jesus Christ is your Savior, and God’s prophet Joseph Smith is your prophet…Revelation continues …
{RECAP} March 2020 Schoolhouse
This March…well, what is there to say? We all feel it. Whatever it is we are feeling…we are feeling a lot nowadays. Despite all of the uncertainty, I was really grateful this month, that despite some extra activities for the kids and church attendance being put on hold, the vast majority of our lives stayed …
Lydia’s 10th Month
This little one is in double digits! I can’t believe we are nearing her one year mark. Lydia is full of lovable, wonderful, chunkiness. She is 20 pounds 4 ounces (64%) and 28.3 inches in length (59%). She is still in nine month size clothes and takes one nap. Her routine is pretty solid right …

St. Patrick’s Day
Our family loves an excuse to CELEBRATE! The kids live for holidays and they were so excited to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day!

Coronavirus
I debated about whether or not I wanted to make this post public because there is so much out there about this. And to be honest, I don’t want to add to the noise. HOWEVER, this is a huge event in the world right now and in our lives, and I want to make sure …
Jacob Scott
The world feels a little heavy right now and I am so grateful to turn my thoughts and attention to this little man…Jacob Scott. The truth is, Jacob is becoming less a little man and more a bigger man every day. I cannot believe how quickly he is growing up. One thing that I am …
