Here's this month's FHE Planner. Take 10 minutes to fill in your topics for the month. It'll probably take less time. That way you'll be one up on Monday nights. There are some topics at the bottom of the page that might work for you. 

Share with us what you'll teach this month.

I love infographics. I can't help it! Here's a Super Foods for you pregnancy infographic: 

How many of you teach the youth in your ward? (raises hand). Have you checked out the new youth activities website? If not, you so totally should! It's pretty great. I've created a little infographic with the basics of planning an activity. 

I like to do stuff. Caeden (our 2 year old) likes to do stuff. We are both happier when we are doing SOMETHING! I've been looking into "homeschool preschool" and discovered two things: you can be one of those moms who has a curriculum or you can be one of those moms who says "life is learning!" 

I'm a little bit of both because I'm inherently lazy. I know if I say something like, "Letters from 10:00-10:15" it won't happen...but I still want to have some sort of activity schedule for this Spring and Summer. Enter: the homeschool preschool bucket list! (You can download a weekly activity planner at the end of this post!)

Munchie Monday: Where we make a yummy food! Probably a breakfast food or other food (like rolls! or freezer meals--which I might do since I'm expecting in May) that can be used throughout the week. Specifically these: 

• Blueberry Oatmeal Bread
• Baked Oatmeal Casserole
• Lemon Raspberry Muffins
• Vegan Banana Pancakes
• Utah Scones
• Honey-nut Granola
• Rainbow Bread
• Homemade Poptarts 
• Biscuits
• Whole Wheat Honey Oatmeal Bread
• Homemade Flour Tortillas (I slightly changed this recipe to my own liking, but once you make these you'll never be able to eat store bought tortillas again. Seriously. I just...I can't.)
• Easy White Bread. Let me just reiterate that this is EASY.

Tactile Tuesday: Where we do or make some sort of touch-sensory thing.

• Paint with Watercolors and glue
• Button Sorting
• Finger Painting
• Homemade bubbles
• Ball pit
• Felt activities
• Homemade moon dough
• Dye eggs with shaving cream and food coloring

Work-out Wednesday: Exercise day! Go for walk, do some pilates or yoga, ride a bike, run, whatever! This can obviously be done on other days of the week too, but just in case it doesn't we have a specific day for it. 

• Swimming/run in sprinklers
• Go for a walk
• Go to the park
• Run outside
• Ride bikes
• Fly a kite
• Do Yoga stretches together
• Kick a ball around

Thinking Thursday: Choose a learning activity; numbers, letters, reading, puzzles. Something that makes him think. 

• Alphabet Matching
• Homemade Volcano
• Pom-pom activities
• Just read
• Learn sight words. I've been using DVDs, flashcards, and books from the Preschool Prep Co. They are awesome! Caeden knew all of the words after a month. He's still learning that the words he learned on the DVD/flashcards are in his books.
• Alphabet flashcards. Preschool Prep Co also has these, but I haven't used them yet.
• Learn numbers. You can download a DIY numbers quiet book here. 
• Puzzles

Free-for-all Friday: The day where you do whatever you want! Things we want to do this spring and summer as a family:

• Stargazing
• Fishing
• Backyard camping
• Have a bon fuego (bonfire)
• Get a chicken or two
• Go to the zoo
• Go on a mini weekend get-away

I've made a weekly activity planner that you can fill out weekly. Download it here, or click on the image below and save as. What would you add to the list?

For the days that you're feeling marvelous! Or even those days when you aren't. 

Handouts for the lesson outline "Why do we have adversity?" Download both the color and black and white versions here.

Not what you're looking for? Check out our other handouts for Come, Follow Me here.

Wear this (or something like it) for you Valentine's date tonight! Or use it as a simple Sunday outfit--get ready in a flash and fit all of your "church stuff" into one bag!

I love low dressers that can double as changing tables instead of a separate changing table. I usually change my kid on the floor anyway, but that's just me. I also love, love, love the idea of having a small love seat in a nursery. What do you think?

Handouts for "Why should I treat my body like a temple?" You can download both versions here. 

Check out our other handouts for this month here. Come back next week for more! Say, "Thanks!" by pinning, sharing, or tweeting! 

A simple and casual, yet cute way to run errands--or to be business-y!

Hi Nestie friends! It's been awhile since I got all personal on you...but just in case you haven't heard: I'm expecting baby boy number two! Due in May.

So I'm starting this thing called "Preggo Day" where I get to talk about all of my favorite pregnancy things while I'm, you know, pregnant. Today I've made a quick little Hospital Essentials for Labor and Delivery thing. I'm sure it's missing some things, but it has the basics. Enjoy!

Bah! It's already February! I totally spaced that we had a new month coming up...don't ask me how. It's not like it doesn't happen every single month. Somehow I forgot anyway. Here are some last minute handouts for your lessons tomorrow if you need them! Black and white versions are for printing on Young Women Value-colored card stock. Just print the colored versions on white card stock! We will have more handouts for your February lessons this month so make sure to check back or enter your email to get posts sent directly to you! 

Handouts for "What is the purpose of Life?" Download both versions here.

Handouts for "Why do the choices I make matter?" Download both versions here.

So sorry if we don't have the lesson you were teaching this week!
