Best parenting advice: A while after I read this, I had the “opportunity” to be a better parent. Truman spilled water all over my pillow and then drip, drip, drip down onto my years of stacked General Conference Issues with notes, my Bible, and my new fun Every Day Magazine.

Ever since I let go of the idea that anything hung on the walls had to be fancy or expensive, I’ve really enjoyed thinking of ideas for wall themes. WE’ve got the U.S. & World maps with stickers for temples, the proclamation & family wall, the Living Christ wall, the corner for smith fam silhouettes. […]
