We were the lucky recipients of this gift more than 20 years ago from some dear Texas friends. (It’s pretty much unforgettable!) I love it because it’s the gift of an experience, and not just more stuff. As we have moved from state to state, I have given this to others and find that they…
CHOPPED Activity
When we were doing our yearly planning for the Young Women and Young Men one of our girls was determined to get some sort of cooking or baking challenge in there. We started talking about ways to do this and eventually decided to turn to the Food Network TV show CHOPPED for inspiration. It ended up…
11 Best Family Games
For the last couple of years, we’ve had a Fall Break tradition that I’m really (REALLY) missing right now. We’d drive down to St. George and meet up with some of our favorite people for a few days to mostly do two things: eat good food (SEA SALT CARAMEL TRUFFLE ICE CREAM!!) and play games….
How to Make a Family Cookbook
Last year, the girls and I had what we thought was a pretty rockin’ idea for mom’s Christmas gift.

DIY: Homemade Laundry Detergent
I sort of (really) embrace the idea of living a more natural lifestyle. I like the idea of fewer chemicals and more things homemade. I like reading ingredient lists on anything and everything and being able to actually understand them. This might be why one time my sister-in-law walked in my house and said it…
DIY: KOOB (The Best Lawn Game. Ever.)
Every once in a while, you discover one of those things that changes how you have fun. That’s probably about to happen for you. This is one of those games that I discovered at a friend’s house-and when I got home, the first thing I did was jump on my computer to see where (and…
