When God told me No

I am a singer. My grandma was a coloratura soprano and that’s what I classify my voice as too. Very recently I was working on singing in a concert with a tenor who graduated from Juilliard. I was going to perform 2 arias. An aria is basically a fancy word for a solo song in an opera. I was going to perform “Bell Song” from Lakme and the “Queen of the Night” aria from the Magic Flute by Mozart. Both arias are extremely difficult and only a very skilled coloratura can sing it well.  My voice teacher who I have taken from for years was preparing me for the concert. She is my mentor and has always told me that I could have an opera career if I wanted. That is what all of my teachers have told me. But I decided to choose a different life! I have two beautiful girls and a rock star husband. My biggest dream in life was to be a homemaker!!! That is what I am and I absolutely adore my “job” as a mom! My second daughter, Gracie, is only 9 months old. I didn’t realize it at the time but right af

The Atonement is for Me!!

Today I have been asked to speak on the atonement. I think this time of year is so much fun as we set goals and think about how we want to improve ourselves. It is so fitting that we celebrate the birth of Christ in December at the end of the year and then right following we celebrate a new year in January. That is exactly what Christ’s life is all about, that we are able to become new as we strive to be like him. As I talk about the atonement today, I would like to answer four simple questions about the atonement.  The first question is: Why do we need the atonement? The answer to this question starts at the very beginning when Adam and Eve partook of the forbidden Fruit in the garden of Eden. Because they took of the fruit they became mortal and had to experience all that comes with mortality such as death, sin, and tribulation. This was all part of the great plan of Happiness and because of the fall we were all able to come to earth to experience these things as w

Finding Beauty in the Ordinary

My life is very ordinary. My time is spent grocery shopping, feeding my people, changing diapers, playing with my 18 month old, folding laundry and cleaning up endless messes. Sometimes this list of to do's can make life feel mundane and well.... ordinary. And lately I've been caught up in feeling like I'm not really accomplishing anything big or important. I have felt a little scattered and confused and trying to figure out if there is something more I should be doing. Recently, I had a little experience that helped me gain some clarity that I have been searching for the past little while. A couple weeks ago, I was up all night with the stomach flu which left me very unable to function the following day. My husband and I decided he needed to go to work so I stayed home with my daughter by myself. It was my first time taking care of her on my own while being that sick. Thanks to an amazing friend who brought me some stomach flu essentials, netflix, and a good nap, w

My Favorite Way to Set Goals

Yes. I am going to talk about goals and setting goals. Wait....January is over, done, ended! Exactly. Which means most of our new years resolutions have ended too! I find it really hard to set goals sometimes...especially as a mom. For example let's talk fitness. I like to work out for the most part but sometimes it seems pointless when I know I am going to gain 30 pounds! Yes, I am 26 weeks pregnant, due in June :) That extra weight brings some serious exhaustion when I am trying to do any form of exercise! And I wont bring up how running and jumping makes me feel...or what I feel like I lose control of.  Then after the baby is born you have to start all over knowing that this isn't the last time you will have to start all over.  This may sound like an exaggeration....but my brain likes to exaggerate to myself sometimes. The same thing happened with this blog. I was really excited when I started it and had goals to write in it and help other homemakers feel inspired, loved

Attitude of Gratitude: The Glad Game

Are there any Pollyanna fans out there?  If there are, you are not alone! I watched that movie several times growing up and it's an oldie but a goodie. It is about a young girl named Pollyanna... of course. Pollyanna is a very optimistic orphan girl who is taken in by her grumpy aunt in a grumpy town. Pollyanna is so happy and kind to everyone, that she changes the whole town that she lives in. What is her secret?? The glad game. All throughout the movie, Pollyanna talks about a game her father taught her.... the glad game.  The way to play the game is to find something to be glad about in any situation.  There are many examples in the movie of how Pollyanna uses the game to find the good in situations and people. I want to share a real life example of the glad game I heard from a woman named Meg Johnson. I was at a seminar once where she was invited to speak and I learned so much from her amazing story! Meg was paralyzed in 2004 when she accidentally jumped off a cliff. She is

Attitude of Gratitude: Journaling

I am a total nerd when it comes to the Holiday Season. One of my favorite days of the year is the day after Halloween, November 1st! Even as a kid I remember being so excited that Halloween ended because it meant that Thanksgiving and Christmas were just around the corner. There is seriously an awesome feeling that fills the air on November 1st. I also start listening to Christmas music right away because it puts me into that special holiday mood. The end of Halloween also has a new exciting feeling because my baby's birthday is during the first week of November and we just celebrated her first birthday!! My heart is so full of love for that girl. I love celebrating gratitude during November. It is such a great reminder to have a grateful heart. I believe that if I could always have gratitude in my heart then I  would always be a happy person. An attitude of gratitude can change the way you look at everything in life. I feel like it's such a simple thing that it can be hard t
