Strengthening Families by Increasing Spirituality

Do you ever look at a family and just think, “Wow, they have it together!” Do you ever ask yourself, why did all of their kids go on missions, and get married in the temple, or why do they seem so close? I ask myself questions like these all the time. Sometimes, no matter what the parents might do, children will still go astray, however, we have been counseled over and over to strengthen our home and families and we have received promises from our leaders that if we do that, we will be blessed. The visiting teaching message this … Continue reading →

Fine Motor Control: Developing Finger Strength

Small children vary a lot in their ability to create with their hands. While some children may be quite dexterous at age three, others really struggle to create pictures and letters at age five or six. Your four or five-year-old may not even have a dominant hand yet, although this will solidify over the next two or three years. Want to work on your preschooler’s fine motor control? The work doesn’t need to look like work. You’re probably doing things right now that build your child’s finger strength and dexterity. If your preschooler struggles with fine motor control or you … Continue reading →

Review: Lego Star Wars The Complete Saga Video Game

When you have an elementary school boy, then chances are pretty good that he is into both Legos and light sabers. Even before seeing the movie, my son was turning paper towel tubes into light sabers. So when we spotted Lego Star Wars The Complete Saga at a local GameStop, I wondered if I would ever get out of the store. Pop-pop came to the rescue, as pop-pops usually do, purchasing the game for number one grandson, along with a few others. Hey, at least they were used and on sale for a buy two get one free day. The … Continue reading →

It was another slow week here in the Marriage Blog. Not intentionally. Lyn was battling the flu unfortunately. She was busy trying to recover her strength.

Keeping Ego in Check

I do a bit of wrestling with the role of my EGO in my home business. I do not always think that ego is a bad thing, but it can get out of control. Trying to figure out when to allow it to run free and give it my ego the upper hand, and when I need to get a grip and let other parts of my psyche rule can be a bit of a challenge when it comes to the entrepreneurial process… Ego is a hard concept for me anyway–I have read so many conflicting things that I am … Continue reading →

How Strength Training Helps You Lose Weight

If you’ve read any of my blogs over in baby or read any of my posts in the forums, you know I don’t really have time to exercise. I don’t even know anyone who is busier than I am. I can’t say that I’m really as in shape as I’d like to be but I have found a way to sneak in some exercise here and there. My trick is to do exercises in small increments. I can’t get in a full 30 minutes of working out. . .but I can always get at least 10 minutes of walking in. … Continue reading →
