The other day my daughter was complaining that she was bored. No, wait, BORED – all in capitals. Hmm…must be pretty bad if she put it that way, right? She even wrote an e-mail to Grandma explaining complaining how bored she was. Now, I don’t know about you, but I think grandmas are a certain […]
The Rock Tumbler
In the comments of the last post about our polished rocks many were asking what rock tumbler we used. We purchased this, Model A-R1 Special Kit Rock Tumbler for Fudge. It is the perfect introductory model for the hobby of rock tumbling. The drum holds 3lbs of rocks. We put in about two cups of […]
As Polished Rocks
See these beauties? Look closely at the details of each one: the colors, the layers, the designs. Aren’t they stunning? This one is my particular favorite, closely followed by the pure simplicity of this one. What’s amazing is they started out looking like this. Just some dirty old rocks that all look pretty much the […]
Six for Saturday
because I’m late for Heather’s Five for Friday. ☺ 1. Watch this new Mormon Messages video. I think it is one of the best ones yet! It really hits close to home in many respects thinking about growing up and all my father did {and still does!] for us. And now all the work my […]
Using Tablecloths at Meal Times
I’m part of a facebook group for LDS mothers with large families. In our conversations it’s interesting to see what we all do that is the same and what we do that is different in managing our families of more than six children. Last week the conversation was around how we serve our meals. Some […]
Waldorf Wooden Acorn Sorting Game
For Christmas Truffle (12) made a peg doll matching game for Hershey (3). While ordering the supplies from Craft Parts I couldn’t help but notice the cute apples and acorns also for sale.

Five For Friday: Pinterest Edition

The Necessities
It’s a beautiful white, pogonip Sunday morning. I love those mornings when it is so cold outside the windows of the house fog up because of all the warmth inside. When the kids left for church it was a chilly -7 outside. Brrrrr! Little Ganache and Hershey aren’t feeling very well so I stayed home […]
Avodah {My One Word for the New Year}
Worship. Serve. Work. Create. All these areas of my life dividing me, pulling me into a million fractured pieces. How is one to find happiness when you feel split knowing a “house divided against itself shall not stand?” (Matthew 12:25) The division within causes resentment because instead of creating you have to go and work.Worry […]

Winter Wonderland
Friday we woke up to one of my favorite things about winter here in Nevada POGONIP A Shoshone Indian word meaning white death. It is a freezing fog that covers everything in ice crystals. Think about it as a mix between snow and rock candy. Crystals form and build on top of each other, diamond […]
