Halloween is tomorrow! My kids have been looking forward to it for months. And it’s a little crazy around here. But FHE is FHE and this year it lands on Halloween. Now, normally, I don’t correlate my FHE lessons with Halloween. I mean, I guess I could kind of connect it to the idea of […]

Sunday-Sundae Object Lesson
Today I want to share with you a fun object lesson that I use in FHEasy in the “Sabbath Day Observance” lesson: making a yummy sundae (BTW – This activity was adapted from Richard R. Eubank’s book Is There an Object to Your Lesson?, page 66.) Set out a couple flavors of ice cream and […]
Quick FHE Conference Followup
Wow! What an amazing conference! For the FHE following conference we simply talked about what stood out to us as we watched conference. My two older girls and my husband all talked about Carl Cook’s story about his grandpa hollering, “Per ‘er in compound, Dorothy!” They remembered the visual of the gears working together. I […]

I find over and over again that families aren’t enjoying family home evening as much as they would like, and it can feel very discouraging. I also find that the issues that […]
Free FHEasy Lesson: Seminary and Doctrin...
FHEasy LESSON ON SEMINARY! For many seminary students, it’s that time again. Time for school and seminary. In honor of this, I’ve made a special FHEasy lesson that focuses on seminary and includes the seven DOCTRINAL MASTERY scriptures not used in my book FHEasy (see below for a note about one of these scriptures). In […]
Helping Kids Get Enough Sleep
Last week, I shared a simple experiment that I used to learn how much sleep I need. Getting enough sleep dramatically improves my connection with my family and the quality of our family home evenings and scripture study. This week, I’m sharing how I’ve helped my kids learn how much sleep they need in a […]
