If ever we needed some advice on how to live right

If ever we needed some advice on how to live righteously amidst increasing wickedness, it is now.

Next week we will be learning about how Enoch and his people became united in heart and mind, lived in righteousness and had no poor among them, all against a backdrop of intense opposition and wickedness.

How did they do it? How are we going to do it? Oh how we need these verses in our homes and in our hearts.

Here is just a taste of what you can look forward to as you teach these principles to your children:

* A family study guide with printable scripture stickers, discussion questions and marking ideas that will have everybody participating as you read Moses 7.

* A marking guide prepared specifically for teens to give them confidence in marking their scriptures and one-on-one experiences learning from the Holy Ghost.

* Scripture cutouts to help you tell the story of Enoch to your children. Then they can use them to tell it back to you to reinforce their learning. These are all ready for you, just print and cut (or better yet, have your children cut them out and they can even glue a magnet on the back to act out the story on a baking sheet).

Calling everyone with a messy house! And yes I am

Calling everyone with a messy house! And yes I am 100% in that camp!

I think we're all guilty of carefully selecting or editing what we share on Instagram - it's the equivalent of the frantic clean up we do in the 15 minutes before someone comes over to our house.

But real life isn't always pretty and styled. In fact, most of the time it's messy, wild, and even a little broken.

If we learned one thing in our study of Adam and Eve, it's that God knew that we needed opposition in order to learn and grow. We need the messy and the broken to discover how Christ can clean things and fix things.

Our hope at Red Headed Hostess is that we can be part of the solution for you on the messy days. That you can quickly reach for beautiful art with videos, discussion questions and stories to bring the scriptures to life and the Spirit into your home.

**We want to see your messy, real life Red Headed Hostess moments! Tag us in your pictures of how you use our kits or study guides. Extra points if there is some serious mess going on in the background. You can use the hashtag #RHHIRL so we can all follow along!

This year my team and I wanted to overcome two major challenges that we all face in learning the gospel, and especially in teaching children the gospel.

We wanted to reduce the feelings of overwhelm that can so often creep in, and above all we wanted to get these scripture stories deep into our children's hearts.

After much research and study, we designed the weekly kits around three key areas of learning that have been proven to be most effective in having children (and adults!) remember what they have learned.

1. The first area or phase of learning is what we call "Learning the Story." This is the overview or initial 'sketch' that children might make in their minds. Tools like the illustrated stories, draw it scripture story activities and overview pages are designed for this stage.

2. Phase two is "Digging Deeper" and is designed to get your children building the picture more fully in their minds. What would it really have been like for Noah to find wood for a 500 foot long boat? How would it have felt when people made fun of him? Notebooking, marking guides and the table posters all fit into this stage.

3. The final area of learning is all about having fun. Games, word searches, crafts, are all built into the kits each week for this crucial part of teaching.

Every week you can take just a few minutes to glance at the contents page and choose one activity from each area. That way you know your children are getting both variety and well-rounded study.

Tell us how you're using the three phases of learning in your homes!

One thing you will love that we have added to the

One thing you will love that we have added to the kits this year is the "More Ideas" pages. Every week you will have lists of extra ideas with object lessons that will bring so much variety to your family study and really keep your kids engaged.

The thinking behind it is to keep things simple for you to prepare, yet effective in teaching gospel principles. Some of the ideas need literally zero supplies, some of them are simple crafts that use things you already have around the house like play-doh, paper bags, a mirror, or crayons.

This week one of the ideas is to make a paper chain of Adam's posterity and use the story from President Hinckley to talk about being a strong link in your family chain. Perhaps that will lead to a beautiful discussion about your own family tree. Or you could try using a cup of dirt to see what that has to do with Enoch being called as a prophet.

Maybe you'll combine a couple of the ideas, or adapt one, or do none of them because it sparked a better idea in your own mind. Our hope is that these 'extra' ideas truly make your planning easier and bring joy and tender teaching moments in your home.
