If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!Colin and I are both grumpy this morning. He woke up with a headache and I woke up mildly nauseous for the 10th day in a row or something (no, I’m not pregnant unless the tests lie). There are piles [...]

It was probably around the time I started dating Colin that I started crying. I don’t mean that in causitive way–Colin very rarely is the reason for my tears and I have no idea why my propensity to cry increased around the time I met him. And I’m not talking just tears or sadness, either. [...]

I’ve been surprised as I’ve looked on the statistics page for my blog that nearly everyone who comes here is searching for Primary Sharing Time ideas. I sure hope that what you find here is useful! I’ve already prepared my lesson for this week, but I’m also doing the 4th week of the month. We’re [...]

I’m in charge of our Primary’s Sharing Time next on March 2, the day after my birthday, so I thought I’d prepare for it now instead of on my birthday. The Sharing Time Outline says the following about the lesson:
Jesus Christ is my Savior and the Savior of all mankind (Mosiah 3:8-10; 1 Nephi 19:9-10; 3 [...]

I'm in charge of Sharing Time for the next three weeks, so I thought I'd come up with ideas and blog about them. So, week 1's theme is "Ancient prophets foretold the coming of the Savior to the earth."
The Friend magazine had this suggestion for the lesson:
Display a flag, a heart, and a smiley [...]

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 [...]

Sunday was our ward Primary Sacrament Meeting presentation and it went very well. There were lots of kids who participated, they sang clearly and loudly, and only one left the stand crying at the end (a disappointed Sunbeam who wanted another boy's action figure). They said their parts clearly into the microphone, which was at a [...]

Our second practice for our Primary Sacrament Meeting presentation went very well. Oddly, the children didn't sing quite as loudly as the first time we did a run-through, but it wasn't by any means quiet, either. They said their parts very well and seemed pretty much ready. It's a good thing, too, since our second [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
