I'm so thankful for my friend, Nicole, for sharing her feelings and thoughts about being a military wife. I honestly couldn't imagine. I have a hard time when my husband is gone for 5 days for work. But I know that as we desire to do good, we are strengthened to meet the challenges of… Continue reading A Military Wife

Munch Mix
Today's recipe is one of my most favorite things to bring to a party. It makes a ton, and it's so pretty! Ingredients: 10 C corn or rice chex- or do both! 9 C popped popcorn- I use Skinny Pop because it's gluten free and there's hardly any kernels to get out. 4 C pretzel… Continue reading Munch Mix
Allergies? What Allergies?
Today's Wednesday story comes from a dear friend from the days of my first college experience at Snow College. What fun times we had!

The Miracle of Forgiveness-Part 1
Yesterday, I had the wonderful opportunity to speak in my ward(church). As nervous as I always get, I am always so grateful after, because I learn so much as I study the topic of my talk. I am going to share my talk in two separate posts-not because I think I'm so cool, but because… Continue reading The Miracle of Forgiveness-Part 1

As my garden veggies start to mature, I can't help but get excited about salsa! This recipe is from a neighbor when I was living in Brigham City in my youth.

It satisfies so… Continue reading Monster Cookies
Dear Baby Enoch
Nine years ago I watched my best friend from my Snow College days and her husband go through one of the hardest things a parent can go through. That of losing a child. I had called Sally on the 17th of July 2009 to check on her. I was planning on going up to take… Continue reading Dear Baby Enoch
Three Rainbows
Today's post is special to me. I reached out to Steffani on IG and asked if she would share her story. I was beyond thrilled when she said yes! Her father, Elder Von G. Keetch, spoke to our stake at stake conference a few years ago. He was such a great speaker! My kids even… Continue reading Three Rainbows
