LDS Scripture Tools

Colin reminded me of this site we love called www.ldsscripturetools.com.  It's very simple, but very helpful.  There are two features: the reading plan tool and the memorization tool.  The reading plan tool lets you choose one of the four standard works, the chapter you plan to start at, the date you plan to begin, and the […]

We had our first practice for our ward Primary Sacrament Meeting Presentation yesterday during Sunday School and Relief Society/Priesthood.  I learned that children have a really, really hard time staying in one place for two hours, even if they get to wiggle and move around occasionally.  I learned that it's definitely not a good idea […]

For our date on Friday Colin and I went to the Saddle Creek Woodfire Grill in North Little Rock.  It's perhaps my new favorite place to eat in Arkansas, simply because of the smell.  When I walked into the restaurant the aroma of wood hit me and took me to this place in my head […]

An Explanation of F00 Fenom

It's almost time for Colin to compile this year's F00 CD, so I thought I'd explain the F00 sensation that may someday sweep the nation.  F00 (pronounced "foo") started back at the end of Fall semester of the year 2000 when Colin was heading home for Christmas and didn't want to take all of his […]

Dr. Griffiths

Today was a red-letter day: we found an endocrinologist who Colin likes!  Dr. Griffiths is an older fellow who works in an office right next to St. Vincent's Hospital.  He's originally from South Africa, so he has a charming accent, and he has the also charming trait of listening to Colin when he tells him […]

Mothers Who Know

I was insipred by Julie Beck's (the General Relief Society President) talk in General Conference entitled "Mothers Who Know."  What she said made me feel good about the things I'm doing right and made me want to improve where I can.  Here is a summary of the talk.
Mothers Who Know…

Popsicle Stick People Choosers

I made some low-tech tools today for Primary in the shape of popsicle sticks with names on them.  The idea is to reduce repeatedly choosing the same children as "helpers" in Primary and ignoring the quiet ones by writing the name of each child in Primary on a seperate popsicle stick, then coloring one end with […]

How to Eat an Artichoke

My last post inspired me to write about artichokes.  I LOVE artichokes.  They are immensely healthy and filling and very yummy.  They're also easy to cook and fun to eat.  When I was pregnant with Maggie and had gestational diabetes I noticed that artichokes helped lower my blood sugar.  I'm talking about fresh artichokes here, not bottled […]
