This Thanksgiving I am especially grateful for a wonderful husband who is one of the best forgivers ever (luckily for me!). He’s also a great apologizer which is also awesome. I’m…. getting better. I’m so glad he forgives so easily and freely and makes ours a happy marriage. He has taught me how toContinue Reading →
Sunday Encouragement: Laugh {11.22.15}
I feel like if circumstances would have been a little different, Sister Hinckley and I would have been besties. Those circumstances being that we were born 64 years apart and never lived anywhere near each other. But besides those two annoying facts, I know we would have been the best of friends. And this quoteContinue Reading →
Sunday Encouragement: A Strong Marriage {11.15.15}
I sometimes feel like it’s much easier to love people than it is to like them. Aaaaaaand I think you know what I’m saying here. 🙂 It’s the little things that make the “liking” hard to do. But luckily, if you choose it, love wins out over the little annoyances and makes a goodContinue Reading →
Sunday Encouragement: As A Mother {11.8.15}
I don’t know about you but, as a mother, I just needed this today. Parenting is hard! And I’m feeling like the older my kids get, the more I struggle between letting them make their own decisions and worrying my face off. I long for the days when I had complete control (relatively speaking, ofContinue Reading →
Sunday Encouragement: Gratitude {11.1.15}
I love this quote on gratitude because the world doesn’t change… you do. I love this time of year where we all, collectively, focus on being grateful and I think it really does create a wonderful feeling overall. I’m planning on my Sunday Encouragement quote to be all about gratitude for the month of November.Continue Reading →
Sunday Encouragement: Forgiveness {10.25.15}
I have also seen a quote that goes something like “Holding a grudge is like drinking poison and hoping the other person dies.” And aren’t these statements so true? I don’t know why we think it feels good to not forgive or to hold a grudge. I think the root of it all is pride.Continue Reading →
Sunday Encouragement: Mistakes {11.18.15}
I love this quote from J.K. Rowling as well: “It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all – in which case, you fail by default.” Mistakes are not a bad thing, if we learn from them. I often thinkContinue Reading →
Sunday Encouragement: Happy Marriage {10.11.15}
The romance wears off, you guys. It’s nice to do something romantic every so often but with the day-to-day stuff? THIS is where it’s at. A consistent concern for your spouse (and vice versa) trumps a candlelit dinner every night or expensive flowers every day. What good are those romantic things if your spouse doesn’tContinue Reading →
Sunday Encouragement: Motherhood {9.27.15}
Thank you Elder Andersen… consider myself reminded of what is truly important! I sometimes get all caught up in what I want to accomplish/do/be when I grow up that I sometimes (oftentimes) forget that I am EXACTLY what I want to be… a mother. And motherhood is exactly what I should be doing. (IContinue Reading →
