Romance on campus

Jeremiah and I have been married for almost 4 years. Our anniversary is October 1st and this is how we met. Brigham Young University-Idaho is often referred to as BYU-I do and for a good reason. Jeremiah and I briefly met at the Latin Association in June 2010 but it was a game that brought us to meet again. That day at the Latin association we played a game called the "murder spoon game". We each had a spoon with our name on it and we put it in a hat and the hat went around and we each picked a spoon with someones name on it. Our job was to take that spoon home and during the week find the person who's name was on the spoon and steal the spoon the other person had and who ever had the most spoons by the next meeting was suppose to win the game. I honestly forgot about the game and just kinda shoved the spoon I got in my backpack. A few days after the meeting. Jeremiah came knocking on my door. When I saw him at the door I thought he was looking for one of my room mates but he was actually looking for me. In fact, he had found my address at the school directory. Kinda creepy at first but super sweet now that I look back:) We chatted for a while outside my door and at the end of the chat he asked me out on a date. He didn't even mention that he was there because of the spoon. After that day, things moved very quickly between the two of us. It took only a few weeks for us to fall in love and only a couple months for him to propose and we were married on October 1st 2010.

The first 5 years of my Eternal Marriage

So October 1st was Jeremiah and I's 5th year anniversary. :) Thank's to the help of my in laws, who where able to stay with our boys, we had the opportunity to get away for a few days and spend some time with each other which was really nice and refreshing:) It is so nice to take time away from all the hustle of daily life to spend a few days with your spouse. Specially when you have small children because it is so difficult to get alone time with your spouse when you have little children... Even with a small budget it is possible to make it happen. So I definitely encourage all you married people out there, if you can, plan something out. Surprise your husband or wife with a weekend getaway. Even if it's just one night. If your on a low budget, even something as cheap as going camping just with your significant other is totally worth it:) Any who, I wanted to write this post because throughout these 5 years I have learned A LOT of lessons. I have to admit that...

Come, Follow Me

So I know it's been a while since I've written a post but I wanted to write a post about the new Come, Follow Me program. First I want to admit that I was a little daunted by the 2 hour block change for 2019, but this was mostly because I could feel the huge responsibility that was being placed upon us as parent's to make the home the center of gospel learning. Specially upon mothers. I actually started to think about this as early as during the relief society general conference. President Henry B. Eyring's actually stated Part of the Lord’s current sharing of knowledge relates to accelerating His pouring out eternal truth on the heads and into the hearts of His people. He has made clear that the daughters of Heavenly Father will play a primary role in that miraculous acceleration. One evidence of the miracle is His leading His living prophet to put far greater emphasis on gospel instruction in the home and within the family. You might ask, “How does that make f...

My quiet books

Does anyone else have trouble keeping their kids quiet and settled down during lets say church or doctors appointments? Well as a mother of 4 boys between the ages of 5 and 1 🙋 I most definitely do. I mean, I  love my children and all, but honestly sometimes it is just too hard!! I have been sitting in the foyer at church for the past 4 years.... Anyways, I decided to take matters into my own hands.  I started researching "quiet books" and saw some super cute examples on Pinterest and that's where I got my inspiration. Due to the limited time I have to actually sit down and make even just 1, I started looking up already made quiet books online and found some great ones on Etsy. Unfortunately their prices were a huge turn off as most where priced for over $10 a page or over $100 for 1 book for just a few activities. That is when I decided to make my own "quiet books" and I came up with Feltsy. Feltsy is basically a line of quiet books made out of felt - design...
