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. :)

Celestial Marriage

You guys... sometimes it takes a little reminder to show us how blessed we truly are... doesn't it? I am often reminded at how blessed I am for my life, my daughter, my amazing husband, our home, the Temple and the blessings that reside inside, our families, friends, the fun things in life, and for our Father in Heaven. As I have previously stated, I have always attended church and have tried my best to follow the commandments. When I have strayed I did my best to repent with a sincere heart. Growing up I always thought I knew how important an eternal marriage was. But I didn't really KNOW until I got sealed to my amazing husband for time and all eternity. I had never attended a sealing before so I was never aware what words were said, what happened when husband and wife got married in the temple. The things that are said within the walls of the temple are so sacred. I remember the day like it was yesterday. THAT was the day I realized how important Celestial Marriages were. ...

Early Life

I grew up in Arizona 🌵 with one sister, and lots of cousins! I honestly do not remember much as a child (I literally have the worst memory) but I know childhood was great. My nickname was "Taz" growing up because I was a very active child. My mom found me on top of the refrigerator one time! HAHA Oops, sorry mom! 😜 I am noticing my daughter is the same way (From what my family has told me)! She is very active and loves to climb on furniture, jump off the couch and have a good ole' time! My parents raised me and my sister in the LDS church and I will be forever grateful for that. I loved primary and Young Women's and always had the best leaders that led by example. Since I was a young child, all I wanted was to get MARRIED in the temple and have babies! I planned to be married right out of high school... I would have children right away, and life would be peachy! These days it seems as though people take the term marriage very lightly. There are so...
