If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!My good visiting teacher called yesterday because she heard that we were sick. We were all getting better at that point, but it was so nice to have someone call and ask if she could help. I didn't really [...]

I know it's not even Thanksgiving yet, but I like to have a long Christmas season, and I've already talked about Thanksgiving a lot. Plus, we're going to someone else's house for Thanksgiving this year, where it looks like for the first time ever Christmas is going to be at our house. That means we [...]

This morning, now that we're all feeling much better, I took the kids to the library for story time. Miss Becky read several very cute Thanksgiving picture books, including one called The Ugly Pumpkin that had a surprise ending. She read another fun, but perhaps overly PC, book called One Little, Two Little, Three Little Pilgrims about the [...]

This morning I've been looking online for houses to rent in the North Little Rock/Sherwood/Jacksonville, Arkansas area. I've done this in the past with very little luck. Craigslist really isn't much help (yet) in Arkansas. Here are a couple of sites that have been somewhat helpful:
www.oodle.com collects listings from several sites and has some good fields [...]

Colin set up iGoogle on the computer for me the other day and I really like it. It's kind of a home page or splash page that you can add little gadgets to. Mine has my email and a clock and calendar and a Flylady reminder box and a Book of Mormon Scripture of the [...]

It's time again for one of my very favorite holiday traditions: reading A Christmas Carol, by Charles Dickens. I read it at least once every year, sometimes more than once, and I can hardly think of anything else that brings the holiday spirit into my life and mood more, except perhaps less prosey and more [...]

Our kids are both really starting to take off in the vocabulary department. Yesterday we were sitting in the doctor's office waiting for the doctor to come in to examine Degen and his cough, and I suggested to Degen that he run in a circle. Degen proceeded to run around in a circle in the [...]

The Church handbooks encourage us to have agendas for our meetings to make them more efficient and to help us to prepare. There is a really basic outline of an agenda for any meeting in the handbooks, but I haven't found anything specific to presidency meetings or to Primary, so I've made a working draft [...]

I'm thinking about practically free things we can do on Monday for Family Home Evening that have to do with Thanksgiving since that holiday is next week, though I can hardly believe it's so soon.
I wrote a seperate post here with a list of appropriate LDS music I could use and which are my [...]

Here are some ideas for songs that would be appropriate to sing at a Thanksgiving gathering or for a Thanksgiving FHE. My favorites are Count Your Blessings, Prayer of Thanksgiving, For Health and Strength, and I Thank Thee Dear Father.
LDS Hymns (listen to the music, get sheet music, and read the lyrics here: http://www.lds.org/cm/display/0,17631,4650-1,00.html):
