The Visiting Teaching Message for December 2016 is Family Joy is Found in Righteousness. As I read through the message this month I was moved by the number of times joy and happiness were brought up in this short message. This focus couldn’t be better placed than at this time of year as we celebrate the birth…
Have you ever had one of those thoughts that just won’t seem to leave you alone? I have. This one came while I was first brainstorming and designing the YW 2016 theme kits and posters back in early Fall. I was chatting on the phone with a dear friend who is currently serving in Young…
Things are busy, especially around the holidays. Sometimes, as the mom I find myself doing a lot more ‘telling’ rather than asking and showing gratitude (it usually happens when things are busy – like the holidays).

I love decorating for the holidays so every page “spoke” to me, but my favorite photos were from a home that seemed to have a little bit of…
When I started designing for the 2017 theme kits I was intending to release just one design. But each of the 4 designs I’ve released came together easily so I just kept it up thinking that one would start to move ahead and come out the clear winner. When that never really started to happen,…
It’s Wednesday and Halloween is just a few days away. We’re making last minute fixes to Halloween costumes and baking cupcakes for class parties around here. Despite the fact that Halloween is a lot of fun, I’m secretly looking forward to Thanksgiving and the chance I have to gather with family and friends and be…
Tis the Season! The holidays are almost here – are you ready to celebrate? It’s usually around the first of October that I promise myself that I’ll have it altogether this year for the holidays.
