Parenting with Love

Wow. I have kind of been struggling with this one lately. Not the love part, just not getting grumpy over small things. I know I can pray for help with this because I have been doing so and it works so well! I am so grateful that we can ask our Father in Heaven for help with things that we are struggling with because I KNOW He will help us! 💗💙💚💛💜

Here is the link for my new video (above)! Let me know if you have any questions or comments! Thanks for watching!

Here is a link for an amazing talk given by James E. Faust. I love this talk because he quoted, "Being a father or a mother is not only a great challenge, it is a divine calling." I feel so much power and love hearing this. We did not just get a child in the mail from a stranger... we have been given a divine calling from a loving Heavenly Father to grow close to each other as a couple, and to bear children. It most definitely is a challenge being a parent sometimes but I am grateful it is one of my greatest callings here on the earth.

Here is another link for a talk given by Larry R. Lawrence. This talk specifically talks about having courage as a parent. I felt prompted to share this quote because all too often we overbook our evenings, are too tired when it comes time to read scriptures and pray at night or we do not eat family dinner together...

We must continue to be courageous and loving parents. Heavenly Father is just a pray away if we need help. :)

Being Equal Partners

Yes, the man is to work and provide for their families. Yes the wife is to be at home with the children to teach, guide, nurture, and love their children. (That is what we are commanded to do. If different circumstances require, roles can be switched) HOWEVER my firm belief is that husband and wife are to equally discipline, equally cook, equally clean, equally teach their children in love and righteousness, and equally be there for one another and the children. This might not happen all of the time, because my husband works and is in school so he is gone a majority of the time. But when he is home he does the same things I would do from the list above. Obviously, if my husband is at work all day he is not able to cook for us. Duh. But on the weekends he tries his best to help out however he can. Both jobs are equally hard and draining. Yes, I stay home and babysit some children from our ward but by the end of the day I am so flipping tired I can barely do anything. That is life, I

Faith in Our Family Life

Hi there! I am so excited to share with you about this topic: Having Faith in our Family Life. Life is not always peachy and does not always go as planned. We are thrown curve balls and we must take our best swing at them. I want to share a story that really hit home to me. We moved into our home at the end of April 2017. Owning a home can be expensive but it is an investment that we feel is worth it. Anyways, in June we had a nail in our tire that was unable to be repaired and so we had to get a new tire. There goes $250. A few weeks later a huge, horrible, scary storm swept through our neighborhood damaging our roof tiles.... there went another $250. July comes, just 31 days after our first tire incident. We were headed to our family campout and were driving on the freeway. We heard a loud pop and thought that a rock had hit the tire well. Then a few seconds later our tire pressure gauge came on and within one minute our tire was completely flat. We had to wait for a tow truck, g
