The Breast Cancer Site

Being LDS and (in my opinion) a good person, I frequently feel compelled to donate to worthy causes. However, as a stay-at-home-mom, my resources are limited... including, to some degree, my time. I enjoy visiting click-to-donate sites as they are free and take very little time. I try to click daily (when I remember).

Since this month is Breast Cancer awareness month, my current favorite is thebreastcancersite.com . This issue is especially near and dear to me since my mother-in-law is currently battling breast cancer.

Giving the Standards FHE

We've never been the greatest at doing FHE in my family, in part because it is only us as a couple with our now seven month old daughter. Having family home evening has been difficult with our little family. But we try, and we're making progress... and hence the lesson for tonight.

I was checking my email and saw the latest advertisement from Deseret Book and LDS Living. I like getting those emails because I see my favorite things on sale, the latest news in the church... and FHE helps. This week's free FHE lesson is on standards, and is available here for use.

I've modified it into a powerpoint for our small family, and thrown in a few thoughts and questions such as "What are standards?" to introduce the lesson and "Why should we have standards?" to follow the object lessson in the article. I've also included a lot of different pictures to make the powerpoint enjoyable; these are pictures from online of the prophet, the authors quoted in the article, the savior, and other things like that.

I'm really excited to give this FHE tonight.

Introductions

I have another blog set up for my family, which I really should update more... but it's about family life. It feels weird to me to combine two blogs that don't exactly have the same intended audience, so here we go... another blog. The All Things Mormon blog is to be a chronicle of all the happenings in my life with an LDS influence, from spiritual thoughts and scripture study to food storage and scrapbooking. It's a record of my journey for me, but I hope you enjoy it.

Just a side note, I love comments... but I will delete anything that isn't nice, friendly, and up to my standards. It's my blog and I can do that.
