Since the beginning of 2021, we as a family have been focusing on teaching what the Gift of the Holy Ghost is, how to recognize it and follow it. Max wants to get baptized this summer and we want him to have faith and a testimony in the basics of the gospel of Jesus Christ. …
I have been reading and learning about anxiety in podcasts, books, and articles and the best way to rid yourself of anxiety and I’ve come across a few gems. Some that I’ve shared with you in the past— the app Happify, podcasts by Jody Moore “Better than Happy,” and others. I mentioned in a post …
I was talking with some friends of mine about how despite all the craziness that is going on around us politically and pandemically, I feel at peace. I feel truly blessed to have the family I have, the life I have. I take great joy in being a mother and supporting Andy in his career. …
What a simple, quiet, relaxing, and wonderful Christmas we had! My kids were pretty well-behaved all week and had a wonderful Christmas.
