Little Boys & Scriptures #PrinceofPeace

I am so excited to partner with mormon.org again this year as they launch their Easter campaign ~ Prince of Peace. #PrinceofPeace

I look forward to the Easter and Christmas campaigns every year. This year mormon.org is launching a brand new campaign centered around the Prince of Peace, Jesus Christ. This Easter season I hope we all take time to remember His life & His sacrifice for us. The official campaign launches this Friday, March 31. Be sure to follow me on instagram and facebook. I will be updating as the campaign launches & gets underway.

In the week leading up to Easter, each day they will have a new attribute to focus on & ideas to help you get started. The goal is to help bring us closer to Christ & to be more like our Savior. I don’t want to give too much away, but for example one attribute that will be highlighted is reading the scriptures. I know when I read the scriptures I feel closer to my Savior & to my Heavenly Father. Every time I read my scriptures, something new stands out to me. I swear it was written just for me! :) When I think of the scriptures and scripture reading it also reminds me of my oldest son, Zachary. Zach is serving a mission for our church right now. He has always been a dedicated scripture reader even before his mission. Many times I would find him in his room reading & marking his scriptures. He’s always been a great example to me.

Mission Countdown Blocks {tutorial} + Growing Up with Conference Blog Tour

I was given the e-book Growing Up with Conference to help me out with this post.

Good morning! As many of you know my oldest son left on his mission this past June. In 8 days he will hit the 5 month mark! Eek! I can’t believe I have survived this long! haha! I know he is doing good, and I am so proud of him. I want him to savor every minute of his mission. (You can follow along on his missionary journey right HERE.) Of course, I want to keep track of how many more days until he’s back, too! So I made these super cute Missionary Countdown Blocks to help us keep track. I’m also going to tell you about an amazing resource for LDS families, Growing Up with Conference. So let’s get started!

“Ofishally” a Missionary {printable}

Good morning! I hope you all had a fabulous 4th of July! This 4th of July was a little weird for us, because our oldest is on his own this year all the way in Utah! Eek! He is serving a 2 year mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He has been at the Missionary Training Center in Provo, Utah for the past 3 weeks. He has learned a ton & had lots of fun. Today he heads out to the Salt Lake City West Mission. He is so excited to get started serving the people of Utah. To celebrate “ofishally” becoming a missionary I sent him a small treat in the mail last week. I thought it turned out super cute, so I thought I’d share the free “You are ofishally a missionary now.” printable with you! So keep reading! :)
