I’m just squeaking in on this post before the deadline. Here’s Special Dark enjoying the puddles on the gravel….right after we got home from church, so he’s still in his church clothes. =) He has grown so much since this picture was taken about a year ago. {{sigh}} They grow up too fast! Visit I […]

Watchmen on the Tower FHE
I assembled this family home evening lesson in preparation for October’s General Conference. It teaches what a watch tower is for and the responsibility of the watchmen. It then tells how Heavenly Father provided watchmen for us today, the prophet and apostles. In doing the lesson you will create a watchtower to hang on your […]
Boston Cream Cupcakes
Every once in a while when I feel like being wicked I like to eat eclairs, or twinkies, or cupcakes that have cream filling. These cupcakes don’t have the typical fatty sugary filling, instead it is just pudding. These are so easy to make my daughters, Brownie and Fudge, followed the recipe themselves. Boston Cream […]
Whoever Shall Have Some Good Peanuts
Do you know who this man is? Any guesses? I’m almost positive you’ve heard him sing, especially if you grew up sometime after the ’60’s or have children now. Here’s another hint. Read the words to one of his most popular songs. “Whoever shall have some good peanuts and giveth his neighbors nonecan’t have any […]
Easy Toilet Paper Pumpkin Decoration
Aren’t these pumpkins cute? Call me cheap. Or frugal. But they are made by wrapping a roll of toilet paper with fabric. The girls are wanting to decorate for fall. I was going through our fall decorations and realized we needed some new ones but didn’t want to take a ton of time to actually […]
Who are you?
Most women I know have a hard time talking about themselves in a positive light. Is it because we are afraid of coming across as self-centered and vain? Or maybe it’s our nature – to serve our families, think of others, before thinking of ourselves? Probably a mixture of both. Another commonality I find is […]
Fall Yarn Leaves
All week long we are making decorations to use in our autumn celebration next week. (More on that later) Today’s craft was different than one we’ve ever done before but the results as you can see were beautiful! These can be made into magnets for the refrigerator or strung on a string for garland (which […]
I ♥ Faces Week 36: Contemplative
This week’s theme was hard! Here’s the definition I ♥ Faces gave for contemplative: thoughtful observation; full or deep consideration; dreamily or wistfully thoughtful: a pensive mood; expressing or revealing thoughtfulness; quiet modes of apparent or real thought; can be marked by some sadness, but doesn’t have to be. I finally caught my second daughter […]
A Series of Unfortunate Events
It all started on Friday. I spent the afternoon in town shopping for 5 hours, running here and there, trying to get the best deal on 5 twin mattresses, stock up on badly needed groceries, buying a gallon of paint that was forgotten is a previous trip, etc. Shopping for that long does not put […]
Spiritual Crocodiles FHE
This is a well planned lesson based on a talk given back in the 1970’s by Boyd K. Packer titled “Spiritual Crocodiles.” It uses many visual aids and activities to help children realize the importance of avoiding temptations. Created by Ivy B. and originally uploaded to our FHE4Children yahoo group. It is too good of […]
A Class Divided
The girls and I just finished watching this great documentary called “A Class Divided.” It’s about a lesson on discrimination that Jane Elliot, a third grade teacher from Riceville, Iowa, taught her students and the impact it had on their lives. It is fascinating to watch and was a great impromptu lesson today with my […]
Wordfull Wednesday: Transformation
Life. It has a way of changing course, twisting and turning, up and down, and even loop-de-looping. It’s a good thing we are adaptable creatures. Oh yes, we are adaptable, even though sometimes we stubbornly wallow in the mire of self-pity not wanting to accept change. We cannot stop the inevitable from occurring. We can, […]
Planning Bedroom Paint Colors
We are seeing progress in our redecorating/bedroom rearranging/repainting project. The two downstairs rooms are cleared out and ready for paint. Here are the girls’ paint designs, paint colors, and quilt fabric choices. We started Monday painting the base coat of Truffle’s (8) and Cookie’s (4) room. The base coat is the light Musk Melon color. […]
I ♥ Faces Week 35: Back to School
As a child I loved starting school each fall. I was one of the rare few who cried when the school year ended. I loved smelling the new books, sharpening new pencils, looking at the crisp white pages of my notebooks. My kids enjoy doing the same thing. This year our school schedule has been […]
