Running Through the Christmas Season

Snap! What a couple of crazy weeks we have had!  Busy! Busy! Busy! As soon as we got home from picking up Chad from the airport, it was time to set out the shoes for St. Nicolas Day.  St. Nick was good to all and brought a couple silly things and Harry Potter shirts and… Continue reading Running Through the Christmas Season

Adulting 101 – Want vs. Need

Money.  Having money.  Spending money.  Money is on the mind of all the teens I know.  The purpose of money is to provide for needs and wants, for myself and for others, now and in the future.  It comes down to simple economics.  One of the most basic concepts of economics is want vs. need. … Continue reading Adulting 101 – Want vs. Need

Returned with Honor

The story of my son  and his mission service is a little like Paul or Alma.  As a young teen he became disenchanted with the church and the gospel of Jesus Christ.  He did not attend church for many years.  It grieved my soul.  However, when I would pray about what i could do, a… Continue reading Returned with Honor

#bethelight – Day 35

Yesterday I served at school... I served at home... I served random people along my path.  It was a good day. Jesus taught:   "Honour thy father and mother."  —Matthew 15:4 We shouldn’t wait for Mother’s Day or Father’s Day to express our love to our parents. We can show appreciation year-round by serving them and… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 35

A Week of Thankful Boyacks

This is always a big week around our house.  First, there is my birthday... one year older, but not to sure about wiser.  My birthday was like any other day.  Later in the week I spoiled myself and got a hair cut.  Too bad I can never get my hair to look as nice as… Continue reading A Week of Thankful Boyacks

Adulting 101 – Time

As mentioned last Tuesday in my Thought Tuesday Blog Adulting 101, I believe I have contributed to the growing problem of teens entering adulthood lacking basic skills.  Despite and education system that focuses dollars and hours on testing skills, I can't find any evidence of testing life skills of students before graduation.  Basic skills such as… Continue reading Adulting 101 – Time

Family Comes First

I have been struggling about what to write for Family Friday this week because I didn't get any pictures and our week has been ordinary and usual.  Then it dawned on me, EVERY DAY is a family day!  Family comes first... even on busy weeks our activities reflect that family comes first. The importance of… Continue reading Family Comes First

Adulting 101

I am afraid that we, as adults, have not fully prepared our teens to be adults.  I am more and more aware the we have not created Generation XYZ.  We have created Generation Lacking.  I'm not talking about lacking in material things.  In fact, having so many material things has contributed to a lack of… Continue reading Adulting 101

What a week!

This week was an eventful week.  First, we had Halloween. Hannah made her costume... she went as Trash.  She made a skirt out of duct tape and grocery bags and then attached trash all over it.  She's goofball. Lilli went as her favorite character in her favorite book.  She made a shirt for her friend… Continue reading What a week!
