Book of Mormon 80 Day Reading Printable

I love that twice a year members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints can gather together in their homes, church buildings or at the conference center, to listen to the prophet, apostles, and other leaders of the church.  I was especially touched by the Women's Conference this year. President Russell M. Nelson challenged the women of this church, ages 8 and up, to read the Book of Mormon by the end of this year.  I know it's going to be a lot for me, but I also know and believe that the prophet doesn't give us challenges, especially Prophetic Council, that can't be accomplished. 

Since I love planning and an excuse to create and organize, I made this printable to use for the reading challenge.  Just click {HERE}! And don't forget to check out amazing study helps at

Scripture Journaling Products

I also recently discovered a VERY talented Bible Journaling community. And let me tell you, these journalers are amazing and very inspirational. I started off trying to draw in my scriptures, and well, I am not an artist ....in the drawing sense of the word. As I began to look around at ideas, I ran into all sorts of products specifically for Bible Journalers.  (I will share my favorite finds with you in another post.) So anyways, as you may have figured out from a few posts, I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I tried to find products out there for Book of Mormon journaling. While there are a few, and a few AMAZING blogs, I realized my love for planners and this new love of scripture journaling could go hand in hand.  So, my new transparencies can be adhered to your scriptures, journals and planners!  I even have Christian and LDS specific designs.   So take a peek HERE at my Etsy Shop!

Here are a few samples of how I have used them in my scriptures:

I Like to Look for Rainbows...

This little lovely was just baptized a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.   I found some adorable printables out there for her special baptism day, but I wanted to make something a little more "her."

All the photos are jpeg and can be printed at your local photo printer. I've included 2 sizes for the guest book, an 11x14 which will be the square 11x11 and an 8x10. It's Great to be Eight!

October General Conference Printables

Dieter F. Uchtdorf's talk truly resonated with me this morning. When searching for spiritual truth's we need to be careful to not run into the "internet search follies."  We must ask questions such as: "Do I believe in God? Or Is my experience with the Church working for me?  Have I experienced a mighty change of heart?" While searching and working towards spiritual truth's, we can work towards our answers by asking, "Are we making our discipleship too complicated?  and then, "Start where you are." The complete talk will be found HERE when updated on LDS.org.  Until then, you can watch live at www.lds.org  General Conference.

Called to Cub Scouts... again

I have once again been called to Cub Scouts!  I am quite excited because I am in a ward where the scouts are now getting the hands it needs to run smoothly...well, as smoothly as an evening with a bunch of 8-10 year old boys can run!  The rest of the year has already been planned out, so I'm pretty much going to be a helping hand for the next few months.  

Every time I've been in scouts, the need for a great discipline/ positive reward system is vital. They are using the marble jar I had started 3 years ago when I was called in.  I'm not sure how the boys are reacting to it now, but I'm looking for new ideas... just in case.  

Here are a few ideas I found!

Our pack uses these sometimes at pack meetings when cheering the person getting the reward... maybe we can use these as leaders when we see positive behavior. (Mrs. Robbins 2nd Grade)

From Eighteen25 , these punch cards are GREAT!  I might need to make them a little more "boy!" I just made my own version.... click {HERE} to download.

From Making Friends , scout bucks sounds like a fun thing to do.  Again, I'm thinking I will make my own Cub Scout version..... I just found this on my Pinterest Board.... guess I liked this ideas once before. I can not find the original to give credit. 

Rage Against the Minivan uses this idea with her kids.  This is basically the marble jar, but maybe introducing it a new way can keep it fresh!

The Idea Room uses a store with accumulated points.  This could be used in our scouts with any of the above ideas..... 

Another idea is to give each scout a bracelet.  When a positive behavior is seen, we can add a bead or take away for negative behavior. At the end of a specific period they can turn in beads to buy things at the store.
