The Needing Spot
By Natalie
Sometimes we think we couldn’t possibly be good parents because we make mistakes. Or because so much of the time, it’s just so hard.
Sometimes I yell. I feel like I’m losing my mind-and my temper.
I have no idea what to do for Sam.
I never say the right thing.
Family night blew up.
I’m not cut out for this. My house is a wreck.
We fight. The kids fight. Quarantine has been one big ginormous fight.
I’m not sure where or how I fit as my kids become adults.
Clark won’t eat anything besides macaroni and Gushers.
I try every day. And I mess up. Every day.
From the mouths of moms, these are things I have heard-and quite recently at that.
You’ve heard them too.
Your girlfriends have said these things and you’ve jumped right in with something like this, “Did you see how you handled that name-calling episode? Top notch. Or how you calmed that scraped up toddler or angsty teenager with your touch and that big mama heart of yours? Well, I saw it. I see you. Take note, sister. You are remarkable.”

There are lots of themes and ideas to get out of Frozen. But what we found most profound was the love, the relationships, and the change of heart. With that in mind, each day of camp will be focused on a relationship the girls can learn more about. We’ll give you ideas for scriptures, devotionals…
40th Birthday Surprise
For many people turning 40 is a big deal! Some people welcome it, while others would rather ignore it. My husband is the latter type, so rather than organizing a big surprise extravaganza for his 40th, we took a quieter (but still fun) route to celebrate his milestone birthday.
Introducing, FROZEN Girls Camp
“FROZEN” word art from: http://lichu-editions.deviantart.com/art/Frozen-PNG-414485475 We are beyond excited for what we’ll be sharing over the next couple of weeks. Girls Camp. FROZEN style. So how did we decide to plan a week of Girls Camp activities, food, crafts, a Kick-off Night, decorations, and devotionals all around Frozen?
White Chocolate Popcorn Snowballs
This is the perfect treat for the FROZEN Girls Camp Kick-off or for any Frozen themed party. (Buy an extra bag of York pieces-just for you. I’m not a York girl, but these dark chocolate peppermint pieces hit the spot. And they really flavor the whole snowball!)
Magazine Monday {FHE}
It’s no fun dragging yourself back into your weekly routine after a couple days off. Yet, the average person will see about 4,040 Mondays in their lifetime. That’s a lot of Family Home Evenings! If you’ve got a case of the Mondays and need a little nudge to get FHE headed in the right direction,…
Valentine Husband Lovin’
This morning I woke up to find the dishes done and the fridge cleared out of leftovers that had been left over just a little too long. The mister apparently couldn’t sleep last night, and so, at 4am, he made his way down to the kitchen and did something that would warm my heart hours…
Breakfast in Bed – A Valentine’s Day Tradition
Valentine’s Day started way back in 498 AD when Pope Gelasius deemed February 14th as Valentine’s Day. There is lots of speculation on who started it and where it comes from. In fact, the Catholic Church acknowledges 3 different saints named Valentine. So despite this long celebrated holiday having confusing origins, there is one thing…
Group Dating for Teens
Your 16th birthday is probably something you remember quite well. It involved getting your hands on a drivers license, right? For me and my siblings it also meant we were able to start dating. As members of the LDS church we are taught that dating should be saved for after turning 16, and when you…
