This is one of the concurrent sessions I went to. Three amazing women partnered to address this topic. Once again, these are just the highlights that touched my heart.

Children are such a blessing!  My daughter taught me today to live more joyfully.  She has recently learned to rider her bike without training wheels.  Life revolves around when she can ride her bike again, it seems.  Last night she really wanted to go on a bike ride together to the park, but it just […]

We had a wonderful insight today of a way to make Conference more meaningful for our children. Our children were trying to figure out which of the speakers were apostles and who the other speakers were for an activity book they had.

The Lord has been molding my husband and I in the past year to understand a divine principle that is changing our lives–a principle that though we grew up in gospel-centered homes was somehow missing. It is the principle of what it means to be a help-meet, what it means to be equal partners.

As we celebrate the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ we have many opportunities to teach and bear testimony to our children of His life and mission and His central point in our life. At this Christmas season we also have the opportunity to celebrate another man whose life and mission have blessed our […]
