an FHE idea for all of us to do together

Two background points: 1 - Adam and I are trying to get into the habit of having FHE every week. 2 - Adam commented recently that he wished there was an instruction book for parenting. My response was that we do have one - it's called the Ensign and the scriptures.

So here's my idea: the 2006 Palmer Clan Blog FHE, and we make our own parenting handbooks. Even all the girls who are not married yet, so they have it when they do have kids. Or it can be used in Church callings or with working with kids at work or whatever.

Since we're at the end of the month, let's go with the last Monday of the month ... That day, we all post a link to an article (from lds.org or wherever you find it) about parenting or family or something along those lines to share with everyone else. Or post a personal experience of "I learned this about parenting through this experience" if you want to. Then at our various homes, we can print them out and discuss things in our individual FHE (or personal scripture study) and put everything in a binder. So at the end of the year, we have all these articles and stories and voila! A parenting handbook!

So what do you all think?

Sounds like a good idea, Trina. I should be able to find or think up a little advice. Do you want to have a particular topic each month?
