The Perfect Books for Summer Reading!
What a wonderful series of books I have discovered! After a gruelling semester of full-time grad school and teaching children in my home school, my mother referred me to the enchanting Mitford book series as a great way to relax and enjoy the summer. She was right!
I wish I could put into words the inspiring, even [...]

Believers Unite!
Check out the great video below; I am so excited and impressed by the media attention that has surrounded and helped promote Ben Stein’s movie “Expelled” about education versus creationism! I just had to put a plug for this movie in my blog, hoping that all of my bloggy friends who believe in God will spread the word [...]

My Unbelieveable Valentine’s Day Gift
Today I received the greatest Valentine’s day present I have ever received! My husband, who in years past got a lot of teasing for buying me roses a few days before V-day in order to save money, put all other gift-givers to shame!
Today he gave me a plaque.
Not just any plaque, mind you. In my [...]

We got the news last night of the passing of our beloved leader, Gordon B. Hinckley.
Today I want to post Hinckley’s testimony of the Savior, as he recorded it in verse. We are able to sing his words because Hinckley’s friend and missionary companion G. Homer Durham put them to [...]

I could never remember the order of the ten commandments! When teaching them to my children, I always resorted to “one of the commandments says. . .” But now I know all ten in perfect order, thanks to this little song my children learned in church.
With this song, note how the tune changes halfway through [...]

Soul’s Sincere Desire
James Montgomery (England, 1771-1854) was an orphan whose parents had been missionaries in the West Indies. He became famous for his lecturing and poetry, including this poem which hung in my grandmother’s home. I chose to write about it because we sang it in church today. To hear it put to music, click here.
Prayer is [...]

Out With The Old Year . . . .
Alfred Lord Tennyson wrote this poem in memory of his closest friend, Arthur H. Hallam, who died at the young age of 22. Last Sunday we sang this poem (put to music) in church to commemorate the New Year:
In Memoriam A.H.H.
Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky,
The flying cloud, the frosty light:
The year is [...]

What does “Tagged” mean?
Today I had to Google the phrase to figure it out . . . I’m THAT new to the blogosphere! Colleen at MommieDaze tagged me! Well, I am positive no one wants to hear twelve holiday things about me, so here is one great story from my Christmases past:
When I was a teenager, a woman approached [...]
"La donna è mobile" means "woman is fickle" in Italian. This is the blog of one very fickle, super-busy gradschooling mother of five. I blog to share what I'm glad I learned and want others to know.
I'm just thrilled with the way this series of books ended! Call me old-fashioned, but pro-family values and pro-abstinence (before marriage) in teen fiction always make for a pleasant and delightful read!
