I look forward to my church’s General Conference each October and April, and last April’s conference packet round-up was so popular that I’ve been eager to make a new round up of new discoveries for my LDS readers. But of course, I’ve been so busy the last few weeks with my press trip to…
Nauvoo, Illinois, and Carthage Jail #PSF
I’ve been slowly working through my family’s cross-country road trip and all of the stops we made between Maryland and Utah. After visiting Kirtland, Ohio, we drove eat toward Nauvoo, Illinois, for another LDS Church History stop. Nauvoo was home to early members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints from late…

Our Trip to Kirtland, Ohio #PSF
One of the goals of our family road trip was to make as many meaningful stops as possible on the way out West. Our second stop on our trip was to Kirtland, Ohio. Sadly, we didn’t have a lot of time to spend in Kirtland, but even with just under 3 hours or so,…

A Sister Heads Home #PSF Give Me Your Best Shot
This Sunday we had a couple of very special sisters over for some crock pot Cuban shredded pork burritos. One of them has become a close friend over the last few months and we were sad to be saying good-bye. On Wednesday she finished her mission and headed back home. I know she’s enjoying…

The Annual Blue and Gold Banquet #PSF Give Me Your Best Shot
Tonight was the annual Blue and Gold Banquet for my Cub Scout son. It has been a few years since we’ve has a Blue and Gold since my older son moved on to Boy Scouts a while ago. This year’s Blue and Gold theme was Inventiveness (or Inventors or Inventions or something like that)……
Wordless Wednesday…For Fletcher
We spend a lot of time hanging out with the missionaries in our area. One of our favorite missionaries let me know a few months ago that his goal was to get on my blog sometime before he left our area. We planned on taking some pictures in the near future. I thought it…
