heart garlands / love at home
This year we planned to sew some heart garlands for the girls to hang in their homes. The idea was to have family members write love notes to eachother in each of the hearts for Valentines day. Instructions for the garlands are HERE (thanks one hour craft!).

divinity night
Last night we had our "Divinity Night". It was of course about Divine Nature. First we taught the girls how to make Divinity. I used this recipe from Paula Deen. I tried it out a few days before as a test run so I knew what I was doing, or you could have someone who knows how to make it come and teach it.
After the Divinity was finished and cooling I read part of Gordon B. Hinkley's talk, "The Light Within You", (May 1995 Ensign) I then asked the girls to list some divine qualities. I then asked who their personal role models for these kind of divine traits were. I explained that we were going to be focusing on the role of our Mothers and had each of them think of the qualities they admire in their Mom. I brought lots of blank cards and stationary for them to choose from and they each wrote a letter to their Mother telling them of the divine qualities they admire. In the letter they were to ask their Mom to help them develop one of the qualities. I challenged them to work on developing that quality for two weeks to make it a habit.
We then ate the divinity and it was a great night!
**You could tint the divinity blue, to represent the color of Divine Nature!
**Also if you use the recipe I linked, don't try dropping it onto the pan by spoonful, that is a big messy pain. Just spread it in a square baking pan lined with foil (with the foil hanging out over the edge), and when it is cool, lift it out of the pan and cut into squares. Much easier!

Hello!
Hi!, I just created this website to post ideas that I as a member of our local Young Women's Presidency (in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints) have for weekly activities for our girls!
I always am looking around on the internet for good ideas and thought I would like to share my own.
I have been in the Young Womens program for about a year and a half and I love working with and serving the girls. I am over the Beehive class specifically, but our ward is small and we only have about 8-10 active girls all together.
Our goal is to have fun and always try to include a spiritual tie-in for everything we do. I hope you enjoy my blog!
