Treasures from Heaven

Educating children's hearts and minds...True education isn't just about learning facts and figures, but developing character as well. History teaches courage; science teaches integrity; math teaches discipline; and composition teaches humility. Training minds and molding hearts are what parents do best, after all.

General Conference to Fill up My Bucket

In the wee morning hours, when I would love to be sleeping, my body kicks me out of bed to start my day! Although I haven't slept well I look forward so much for the time I get to read the Conference talks that were given last April. Wow! Talk about filling up my spiritual bucket. It's so much easier to get through the day and be loving to my children EVEN with the pain. I think my body's used to it enough that although I'm waiting for answers I can continue on basking in the spirit each morning. I wouldn't trade this for anything in the world. It's so peaceful! My spirit craves the words of the living prophets.

I just read somewhere that even mothers who aren't feeling well can have the Lord's strength and I'm here to testify that it's true! I've loved the topics I've been able to review from Conference; Mothers, relationships, true love and complete fidelity, and much more.

With my Bucket full, it's time to help my kids!!!

Hah! I just read something similar (to receiving help while in stress) this morning in Julie Beck's talk. "Bathed in his help" or something. So wonderful to share the joy of 'the Conference issue'!

A Glimpse into My Life

I LOVE LOVE LOVE being a mother!!! Married to my sweetheart, Greg, and bring in six amazing children down to earth has been the most wonderful experience! Our kids keep us busy with their curiosity and excitement for life. We laugh, learn, cry, read, and pray together all the time. The memories we are making as they grow up are ones I wouldn't change for the world!
