For any of you that are fighting fear this new year: I sat down in church this New Year's Day morning and read the program I had just been handed: "Be of good cheer, your future is as bright as your faith!" It was EXACTLY what I needed to be reminded of this morning. As a mother, I sometimes start to worry and wonder and feel concerned about what's going on in my Continue Reading
If you Have a Silent Night
It is very silent here right now, late at night. Well, actually early morning... The lights of the Christmas tree glisten with ethereal magic behind me. Those lights dance and reflect off of ribbons and papers strewn across the floor, for Santa has already come and unloaded his bundles right here in our living room you know! It was a wonderful night!- not silent at all. It was filled with Continue Reading

Happy Harvest Season Everyone!- it’s here!!!!!!

Wonder if 52 bags will last a half a year around here? I can always hope. Happy harvest season Continue Reading

We've been uplifted, strengthened, unified and refreshed by both Mike's family and mine as we've gathered together. This year both reunions were more relaxed and simple, reminding us that really it's just time together that we love so much! But I believe for Continue Reading
He’s HOOOOMMEE!!!!!! Elder Hoffman Returns
How can I describe the feelings we experienced as we drove to the airport to pick Isaac up after 2 full years of his being away?! Yes, we were as excited as all get out! When we arrived at the airport there were already many friends there waiting supportively and joyfully with us for Isaac's return. My spirit wanted to jump out of my skin to run ahead, to hurry to meet him - somehow sooner than Continue Reading
