Research Survey

       I'm in need of married, LDS volunteers to help me out with a school research project. I'm enrolled in a Family and Social Sciences Research Methods class at BYU. Please follow the link to take a brief, online survey.


If you are interested in the results of our research, leave a comment and I will be sure to share our findings with you at the conclusion of our project. If you know of any married, LDS individuals who would be willing to take the survey, please share/repost this link. Our goal is 300 participants. 
Thank you, dear readers!

Thrifty Thursday: DIY Referee Costume

     My kids, like most, love to play dress up (though my teen might prefer the term, "cosplay"), and they do it on a regular basis. So they're usually planning Halloween costumes well in advance of October. And by that I mean that while they are enjoying their candy on Nov. 1st, they start discussing what they want to be for next year!      Last September, when our 9-year-old son said he wanted to go as a referee, we decided to order an inexpensive costume through Amazon. Halloween was drawing nearer. Princess costumes arrived for two of our girls, but somehow, the referee package went missing. Only a week left before Halloween. Time to get thrifty.      I'm no seamstress. Lucky for us, our neighbors who were moving out had just gifted us a collection of long-sleeved shirts in assorted colors. There was a white one in his size. I purchased a couple rolls of black Duck Tape and got to work.       I didn...

Embracing Grace part III: The Whole Story

   With the many voices being raised today, we can feel bombarded with conflicting opinions, uncertain what to believe as the many voices clamor for our attention. When I start to feel this panic and confusion welling up in me, I turn to the scriptures for clarity. Helaman 5:30 of the Book of Mormon says:  "And it came to pass when they heard this voice, and beheld that it was not a voice of thunder, neither was it a voice of a great tumultuous noise, but behold, it was a still voice of perfect mildness, as if it had been a whisper, and it did pierce even to the very soul"    I've been privileged to share my voice on a website specifically for women of faith. You can read my previous contributions here and here .    Today, you can find the final installment of Embracing Grace featured on A Voice of Gladness. I hope my voice brings you some needed clarity and peace in this tumultuous world. Share the link with others you think may benefi...

High Hopes

Emily Dickinson called hope " the thing with feathers ". This time of year, nearly every time I'm out for a walk, I can find empty eggshells. The bright turquoise of the robin's shells stand out against the dampened soil. I always feel a surge of excitement when I spot one. I like to collect them for our Nature Nook at home.  But lately, my delight has quickly turned to sorrow as I've discovered several eggs, cracked, but with baby birds still inside. Yesterday, I even found a dead baby bird on our driveway. It makes me heartsick, seeing these lifeless, tiny shapes. As the chatter and songs of a dozen other birds fill the air, my heart swells with a bittersweet ache. I relish the music that surrounds me, but I mourn for those voices that are lost.  Spring is a season of new beginnings. Witnessing death at this time seems like a cruel irony. Like a bird struck down in mid flight, it can cause you to question that budding optimism you felt only moments...
