This last year, I have tried to incorporate some more “holiday” school into our family’s homeschooling life. We did a little something extra for Valentine’s Day earlier this year and then we did “Thanksgiving School” last month. It has been such a fun way to learn something new but also set the day apart as …
Jacob, Sarah, Benjamin, and Lydia had their Primary Program today. It was the one and only time all four of them were in it together. I am so grateful for the gospel truths they are learning. “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” Philippians 4:13

We are trying to do more “experience” type gifts in our family and it has been so fun. Memories over things any day! Mark and I got Jacob tickets to go to the Wild Animal Sanctuary for his birthday and Jacob cashed them in this week. Mark and Jacob went together and had a great …
This year has gone by in a blink! I am so excited as we are entering this new stage in parenting. Jacob is growing and maturing into such an incredible young man. My heart is filled with so much admiration for Jacob and how much he has stretched himself this year. Hogwarts School of Witchcraft …
