Job Jar –a way to change kids’ focus

“Mason, quit bothering Lynsie. Run and find something else to do.” Well, a lot of times the pestering persists. What then? “Mason, do you need to draw a job?” At that point, Mason either heads off in a new direction or draws a five minute job out of a jar. The “Job Jar” is an […]

Priceless Christmas Traditions

Priceless Christmas Traditions

Here are some family oriented ideas to help dissipate the feeling that Christmas is too commercialized and put the “merry” back into Christmas: 1)  Lie on your backs with your heads under the Christmas tree and enjoy the lights. Talk about how the Savior is the Light the World. 2)  Turn out all the lights […]

Watch Out Clutter

Watch Out Clutter

Do you clean your house and then before nightfall, the clutter has returned? It happens to all of us. A fun solution may be to invite Chester to your house. “Chester” made his appearance at our home many years ago. I can’t recall exactly where this idea came from, but here it is: You get […]

Books at Bedtime

Books at Bedtime

“Please, one more chapter, Dad!” “Not tonight, you need to go to bed.” “We will be nice tomorrow, if you read one more!” “Sorry, we will read more tomorrow night.” “I hate it when you do that. You always stop at the best part.” “Good night. Love you,” I say with a smile.  Often the […]

Colored Celery?

Colored Celery?

How does water creep up into plants? Let’s experiment.             Cut off the bottom of a piece of celery that has some leaves.  Let the children examine the cut edge.  Point out the straw-like circles on the cut edge that will soak up the water.  Put the celery into a clear cup containing about an […]

Memorizing Scripture Tips

Memorizing Scripture Tips

We learned several years ago that there could be both power and fun in memorizing scriptures.   While we have not always been consistent at doing it, we have learned that there are some things we have enjoyed doing as a family.  At times it was fun and silly and at other times, a little more […]

Storytime!

October 9, 2014 By: Amycomment

Storytime!

On Sunday evening, we have a tradition of gathering together to read and share stories. We pop popcorn and have either hot chocolate or juice. When the kids were littler we would gather on the “popcorn blanket” in the front room, but now we are more disposed to just sitting around the table. Each person […]

The Power of Family Prayer

The Power of Family Prayer

Years ago a tradition started in our home. When we were kneeling for family prayer, one of the kids would say, “Don’t let the fire out.” Everyone would scoot together until our knees touched so the “fire” couldn’t get out. I have thought on that a lot. Here we are kneeling to ask The Source […]

Job Search?

Job Search?

My kids got used to me assigning them certain tasks to do and, to my horror, it appeared that they couldn’t see what needed to done without direction. In an attempt to change, we started “Job Searches.” A job search is looking for something in the house or yard that needs to be cleaned or […]
