For the 2012 lesson schedule, click here This is Colin. I’ve created the 2011 New Testament Sunday School/Relief Society/Priesthood Lesson Schedule Bookmarks. Close to 1000 people downloaded last year’s bookmarks, so we’ll keep making them. So what we have here are bookmarks that say what lesson you’re on each week, 3-up and made painstakingly in [...]

Hey, I won a giveaway on freebiesandmuchmore.com! I got a Zippity Doo gift set in the mail today–all-natural lice and bedbug repellent shampoo, conditioner, detangler, and shield spray. Cool, huh? And they even sent over a Winner’s Badge and asked me to put it up here. We’ve only had lice once at our house, and that was [...]

Degen asked if he could put a joke on my blog, and I said yes. Here it is: Why did the chicken cross the banana? Because he wanted a somethin’, somethin’, somethin’ machine so that he could make everyone say “somethin’” so he could say “nothin’!” Just “brawk brawk brawk” and then he would now [...]

We went to the California Academy of Sciences museum yesterday on their monthly “Free Wednesday”, which was more of a life science museum than general science. It was so fun! The planetarium wasn’t recommended for kids under six, so we skipped that. Maybe that was the “other sciences” part. But we saw the aquarium and [...]

Thank you to all the veterans, soldiers, airmen (and women), and sailors who have protected me, my family, and my freedoms.

I’ve been making an effort to exercise more. It’s been a kinda half-hearted effort, and thus difficult to make myself get going. Yesterday I did it and enjoyed it so thoroughly it’s worth writing about. I was typing away at a project on the computer after getting Maggie and Heidi down for naps. I’d been [...]
