School is starting up again! I have a free treat tag to share + even more cute + exciting treat tags for this special year.

Going back to school can be scary. How can we make friends, and stand for truth, and find success?

👸🏻 2015 Cinderella has an idea: "have courage 💪 + be kind 💛."

Y'all can give this treat tag based on that to students you serve in your calling or ministering, along with a quote card with Elder Wirthlin's words on this subject. 💬

This is perfect for a quick & simple gift, but if you want to go the extra mile for the students in your life, check out these treat tags!

This packet in the shop has all of the treat tags needed to create a super cute back to school goody bag for the students you serve. Use as little or as many of the tags as you wish!

Then there are treat tags for items you can gift individually over several weeks, put into a bag and drop off before the big day, or whatever works for you.

See the included treat tags below.

There are tags pairing with items great for those in Junior Primary 👧🧑(bubbles, crayons, glue, etc) and other items students of any age would enjoy (treats). 

The treats the tags were paired with above are just the beginning of ways the packet can be used. Included is a pairing guide with tons of ideas for items to go with each versatile tag so that you can optimize these gifts for your group and your budget. 😅😎

3 tips for success from our latest in person activity

Have you been given the green light to meet together and social distance? 🚦 My young women’s group just held our first in person activity at the church! 

Everyone had a blast 🚀 getting to see each other & playing fun distancing-friendly games! 🙋🏻‍♀️

👉I’ll share some timely tips for success we found as we got used to the new setup & the details of our fun activity so you can pull it off for your group! 🥳

** by no means am I claiming to be an expert. just a creative young woman doing her best to follow leaders + current counsel. no pandemic shaming pls. we can agree to disagree, and you can take all or none of the tips from what we did in our small yw group!😷**

1. Technology still is helpful 

Since this pandemic started, Zoom might have become the coolest thing since sliced bread. 🍞 I’m sure they were doing well before corona arrived, but I wonder if they realize, with the amount of people using it, their program just might have achieved world domination. 😂

At this point, we’re probably sick of the constant reliability on Zoom calls, virtual events & technology. 📱 But that doesn’t mean that some cool tech can’t be helpful when we can finally enjoy in person events! 

A slideshow helped us view what we were doing together, even as we sat a few feet apart. 👁

I know the logic may go, “if you’re just sitting & using a slideshow the whole time during an activity, what’s the point of holding it in person?” 🤷🏻‍♀️

I say, different activities meet different needs. Mix it up! You’re committing to distance and wear masks (or follow whatever your guidelines are), not to hold a certain type of activity every week. 😅

This setup worked for this less-active activity, and it can work for y’all too when you have activities like this! 😎

2. Clipboards (+ corona creativity) is key

As a student, remembering the days when crowding around a table in the cafeteria was a thing evokes some humor and nostalgia for when things were more simple. 😭🦠

As we distance right now, I’ve found that clipboards are key if printables are a part of your activity.🖨 

Print & clip all you need & then no need for passing papers, pens, and other supplies around throughout the activity. 📋 

Place one on each of the socially distanced chairs and you are practically, and aesthetically, all set.☺️

The deeper meaning behind the clipboard principle? If we get creative, we can find problems to the monkey wrench corona threw in planning events -- and still enjoy them while distancing!

3. Small details go a long way

By small and simple means are great things brought to pass! 

Look at our setup (in the gym so we could socially distance) before & after these small details.

All I added was some decorative banner pages & Family History themed Mormonads. The other young women helped me to put them up as people, and I took them down while they were journaling.

The moral of the story? You don’t have to go over the top to make this a fun & meaningful event! Simple touches like these can make all the difference + you have what it takes to throw a great in-person activity! Cheering y’all on. 😉🙌 

take 5 treat tag + task cards: make a habit of family history!

Say, do you have a couple spare hours to get some genealogy going on? 🧬 If you are a total family history boss with indexing totals to flex all day, kudos to you! 👩🏻‍💻 

But as for me...here it comes...I often struggle to find the time. 🕰 I know this is a tired excuse, but I also know is not uncommon. We all could use a little extra encouragement & motivation to do my family history! 

Enter the Take 5 treat tag & task cards! 😎 Who can’t spare 5 minutes for some bite sized family history? 🍪 Who wouldn’t love to get some tasks done by small and simple means?

Each task card has something you can really do in 5 minutes. Put them on a binder ring, turn them into a booklet, or get them in a fun editable bingo board format over here. 

These task cards are squares so that they are also textable to your participants. Simply screenshot and send. 🤳 It doesn’t get much easier for your group members than getting a reminder message on their phone to do something quick and easy that’s also on their phone, right?

Excite your participants about the task cards at the beginning or reward them at the end by giving them the Take 5 bar 😋, along with a treat tag to connect these super fun activities.

oct '20 general conference

Who else was so uplifted + inspired by General Conference? 🤩🥰 There were so many quotable messages + lots of inspired counsel in this October 2020 conference! 

I will also be featuring them on Insta 📷 throughout the next bit to help us all remember + follow the great things that were said in this conference after last weekend's spiritual high. 😌

Saturday Morning

Moving Forward

Our natural man tendencies may be to sulk through 2020 🦠, but our Prophet's understands + reminds us of the great direction the Lord’s work is going in!

We Will Prove Them Herewith

I love this quote encouraging to let our faith change the world, 🌎 but not let the world change our faith, or our "trust" and "confidence" in the Savior, as Elder Bednar puts it. 

Hearts Knit in Righteousness and Unity

Elder Cook gave a call for a diversity + unity in the church, eloquently pointing out how we can have both! 🙌🏻👏🏼🙌🏽👏🏾🙌🏿

Recommended to the Lord

This hit home! I have no clue when my temple will be open again, but he makes it clear when we should be back in our bishops' offices, reflecting on our lives so we can be "recommended to the temple." ✨ 

Finding Joy in Christ

Elder Steven J. Lund is both realistic about the growing 📈divide between good and evil, and positive about the strength of the youth of the church in his talk. 

Keep the Change

I love Sister Craven’s positive attitude ☀️. When we mess up, it’s the repenting that follows + that helps us continue the lifelong process of change.

Embrace the Future With Faith

I love hearing from our Prophet! 👏 The peace & companionship that comes from God is worth it, or as Al Fox Carraway says, “oh so good!” ☮️ 🌿

I think we’ve really been reminded of the need to survive temporally + spiritually this year! President Nelson lets us know where we can turn: God + His Word, especially the Book of Mormon because it was written for our day! 😎

Peace, Be Still

Besides “Master, the Tempest Is Raging” being my FAVORITE hymn to play 🎹, I love Sister Harkness description of firm + steadfast faith.

We Talk of Christ

I love President Andersen’s reminder for us to unite with Christians. As believers become more scarce, we need to unite with anyone + everyone who loves the Savior like we do, despite differences we may have! ✝️💜

Let God Prevail

This question has meant so much to me. I’m so grateful that the Prophet helped me to see life this way—we are either letting God prevail or not in every choice we make! And choosing to submit to His will will bring the ultimate safety and peace. ☮️

Challenge time! This is so perfectly aligned with the Come, Follow Me next week. It’s all coming together, just like I know it will if we take this invitation the Prophet has given. 💌

Tested, Proved + Polished

I love President Eyring’s reminder of the mercy, love, goodness + grace of our Heavenly Father + His Son, which is manifest no matter what circumstances we are in. 🙏

Waiting on the Lord

Such a powerful quote from Elder Holland reminding us that being in the gospel doesn’t give us a free pass from trials, persecution, or opposition. 👉It—no, God—gives us strength to go through difficulties. 

A New Normal

This talk reminds me of how crucial it is to have a Latter-day Prophet, giving us such current counsel based on the world we now live in. I know he speaks for the Lord! 💬

actividades virtuales para mmjj: 7 ideas

Leer este post en: Español | Português 🇧🇷

Encontré ideas para actividades que ustedes pueden hacer mientras mantener la distancia social para añadir más unidad y diversión.

NOTICIAS IMPORTANTES:

*EL DOCUMENTO QUE PROMETERÉ ES EN LA PARTE DE ABAJO DEL POST PARA CONVENIENCIA 😎

*SOLAMENTE 7 DE MIS IDEAS SON DISPONIBLES EN ESPAÑOL. ENCONTRAR TODOS EN EL POST INGLÉS. 👌

*¡SI VEN ERRORES, DIME! 🙏

¡Y empecemos! 👇

#7. ¿Cuál prefieres? Versión Cuarentena 

Necesario: tarjetas para ¿Cual prefieres?  (Incluye en la parte del abajo del post)

Zoom: Pueden elegir una persona leer las preguntas y preguntarlas a jóvenes diferentes. Deben pegarlas en la charla en Zoom. 💬

Esta cuarentena significa una tema nueva de preguntas para el juego “¿Cual prefieres?” Las mujeres jóvenes pensarán, reirán, y considerán estes escenarios imposibles con este juego. 😺

Los preguntas que hice son entre Netflix a TikTok y todo entre y puede ayudarles aprender como las cuarentenas de sus mujeres jóvenes. 👩🏻

#6. ¿Hecho por quien?

Zoom: La charla 💬

Esta es una manera creativa entender como fue la cuarentena de las mujeres jóvenes. Ellas disfrutarán participar y adivinar “¿hecho por quien?” 🤨🧐🤔

Ellas piensan en una loca, divertida única, interesante o extraña 🤭 cosa que hicieron en cuarentena y mandarla a una de las lideres. 

En Zoom, pueden controlar con quien charlan. (Consejo importante para ellas: NO 🙅🏻‍♀️ manden las mensajes a toda—el objetivo del juego es adivinar la respuesta y la respuesta es revelado si el mensaje no es privado. Para mandar un mensaje privado, hagan un clic en la flecha además de la palabra “todo” y seleccionen la líder que fue designado recibir el mensaje.)

👉Ahora, porque la líder tiene las mensajes de las mujeres jóvenes, la líder leerá cada mensaje a ellas, sin decir quien lo mandó. Ellas adinivan “¿Hecho por quien?” para cada cosa. 

(Por cierto, “Hecho por quien?” fue difícil a traducir de “Whodunit” de inglés por mí, en mi mente. 🤷🏻‍♀️ ¡Si alguien sabe una manera mejor decir eso, dime! 🤣)

*los ideas religiosas comienzan aquí* 😇

#5. PICTIONARY DE LAS ESCRITURIAS



Necesario: Tarjetas para Pictionary (Incluido en la parte del abajo del post 😘)

Zoom: Usen la pizarra blanca (📱Celular: Hagan un clic en el lápiz. 💻Ordenador: Hagan un clic en “...” y entonces “anotar.”)

Usen las tarjetas para el juego hecho por mi. Hice cuatro series sobre cada libro de escritura así que ustedes tienen bastante tarjetas para cada mujer joven poder probar este jugar de dibujar. 📖 

💡Consejo: Si personas dicen “¡Dije la respuesta, pero no oyó!” usar la charla tan suposiciones son finalizados. ¡El método funcionó para nosotros!

#4. Charadas basada en “Para la Fortaleza de la Juventud”



Necesario: Manual de “Para la Fortaleza de la Juventud” 📖 

Zoom: Usen la charla 💬

La anfitriona tiene una copia del manual “Para la Fortaleza de la Juventud.” Ella mande un mensaje privado a una mujer joven, por la charla. Esta es la manera virtual de mostrar una tarjeta de la charada. Aquí, las tarjetas de charada son secciones de “Para la Fortaleza de Juventud,” como “la educación🏫,” “la familia👨‍👩‍👧‍👦” etc. 

Cuando la mujer joven sabe que hará para su charada, ella silencia su micrófono 🎙y actuar como seguir la sección ella tiene. Simple, pero muy divertido y risa. 

#4. CARRERA DE CONFRENCIA GENERAL

Zoom: Usen la charla 💬

La pregunta “¿Cual fue su charla favorita en la conferencia general?” es muy cliche. 🙅🏻‍♀️ No hay nada malo con analizar la conferencia general, pero esta manera es mucho más divertido.

 Este juego es una versión virtual y doctrinal del juego “Quiero ir a casa.” 🏠 Si lo conoce, es una carretera de salir un círculo pero nadie puede decir “Quiero ir a casa” al mismo tiempo. Si lo dicen al mismo tiempo, todos tienen que comenzar el juego otra vez.

Para jugarlo en sus llamadas virtuales, cada mujer joven tiene que decir su charla favorita de la conferencia general.  Después ella lo dijo, ella puede apagar su micrófono. Pueden apagar los cámaras mientras jugar el juego, de añadir a la dificultad. 😼

Recuerdan, si dos personas hablan al mismo tiempo, el juego tiene que volver a empezar. ¿Retador, no? 😮

#3. MUCHOS CORAZONES 

En inglés, nosotros llamamos esta actividad como “Heart Attack.” No sé si la es bastante popular de gente sobre el mundo lo conoce, tan la llamaré “Muchos corazones.” 🤷🏻‍♀️ Títulos mejores son bienvenidos. 

Normalmente, los corazones son ponen sobre una puerta de recipiente. 🚪 Aquí es como hacerlo virtualmente o con distancia social. 

Escoger quien le darán corazones—alguien solitario, lamentable etc. Decir todas las mujeres jóvenes (y posible más) sobre la actividad y para quien es. Cuanto más, mejor. 🥳

Cada mujer joven decora corazones con mensajes amables. Escoger como quieren hacer la actividad, hay algunas maneras como: 👇

•Todo mande un foto de su corazones al recipiente al mismo tiempo ⏰ 

•Todo mande un emoji 💜 y un mensaje al recipiente al mismo tiempo

•Hacer una presentación con los fotos de corazones y enviarlo al recipiente 💌

•Llamar al recipiente por Zoom, y como una sorpresa, todo saca su corazones y mostrarlos 🙀

Hay muchas maneras diferentes hacer la actividad “muchos corazones.” Adaptarla como es mejor para ustedes. 💛

#1. CONCURSO DE POSTRES DEL LIBRO DE MORMÓN



Necesario: bracket de hornear del libro de mormón (disponible en la parte del abajo del post)

¡Esta es hornear en cuarentena en un nivel completamente nuevo!

La tema del juego es crear un postre 😋con una tema del libro de mormón. Hay puntos extra si es basada en “Ven, sígueme” para la semana. 👩🏻‍🍳 Cada mujer joven toma un foto con su mismo y su creación. Los fotos son compilado, y con un bracket, las mujeres jóvenes eligen sus dulces favoritos y tendrán una ganadora. 🏆

Haría un bracket para ustedes pero realizé que los barrios tienen grupos y muy necesarios diferentes, tan no puedo hacer un bracket que puede ayudar a todo. 👉 En cambio encontré un sitio web que déjales hacer un bracket fácilmente y perfectamente para su barrio. Vengan acá para ir al bracket gratis que pueden personalizar. 

Si ustedes o sus mujeres o ustedes necesitan inspiración de postres con el tema del libro de mormón, hay un poco aquí, aquí, aquí y aquí de Pinterest, por supuesto. 🤩

four back to school quotes

These quotes from Latter-Day Saint leaders all are inspiring as we go back to school. They tell us that we're doing as we gain knowledge + an education is needed in the kingdom of God as well as in this world.

I love President Nelson's call to everyone, everywhere, in every circumstance to learn. What we learn is one of the things we take with us to heaven--if a person gains knowledge in this life, he has an advantage in the world to come--D&C 130:19.

Wow, this is powerful. It reminds us of one of the core reasons for education: serving others. When we're educated, we can help other lives in addition to our own.

This is vivid imagery, and important to apply. Because, if we don't have the key, that would mean doors are locked. This is why President Hinckley also said, "It is so important that you young men and you young women get all of the education that you can."

This is great for everyone, taking the pressure of learning. Even living itself is learning if we pause for introspection, right? Anyone at any age, whether they are years before school or years after it, can continue to learn.

So... now that you made it to the bottom of the post, I have the promised PDF to share. But there's more. Do you love celebrating all the holidays?
