I love sharing. Especially when I stumble across something as great as this!
I am not the first Mormon mother to admit that maybe her family's FHE's are less than spectacular. Recently a friend introduced me to a new app she did the design for and it is just what my family nights needed!! It's called "The Family Night App" and it is amazing!
Last night was our first Family Home Evening back from vacation and I was super excited to try out.
To start you make a profile for every person in your family! You can add pictures for each person. Then you can also customize your agenda. The app automatically assigns members to the tasks you've added to your agenda!
Now the coolest parts about this app is in the agenda portion:
For the opening and closing songs, you can click on the music notes and it will take you to the in app music section complete with songs from the Hymnal and the Children's Song Book. And MY FAVORITE part? Click on the song you choose and up pops the sheet music and you can play the accompaniment right from your mobile device!
Next you can click on the calendar and go over the coming events for the week! It will then take you to your mobile device's calendar!
The lesson's feature is another huge plus for me! Once you click on the lessons section you can choose "Gospel" and that will take you to the app's Pinterest page of FHE lesson ideas. Or select "By Topic" if you want ideas for a specific topic. Selecting "FHE Manual" will take you directly to the church's official family night manual! (I didn't even know they had one!!) Lessons right at your finger tips!! A HUGE blessing!!
Select "Activities" and you will taken to the app's Pinterest page for activity ideas!!
Finally, we of course can not forget dessert and the creators of this app didn't either! Select treats and you will be taken to the growing selection of dessert ideas from many of your favorites like "Creme de la Crumb" and "Oh Sweet Basil!"
This app is so much fun and easy to use!! It definitely helped me plan our family night and bringing all those resources into one convenient place is SUCH a time saver!! I am so excited for Monday nights now!! This app is available for Apple devices and is only $1.99!! Definitely check it out!! And be sure to like the Facebook Page for updates!!
