Or "Try, Try Again"

Finding this quarter’s plan inspired me to prepare next quarter’s plan for Family Home Evening. This time I asked Colin if he had any topics he thinks our family should have lessons on. He listed Faith, Repentance, Baptism, Gift of the Holy Ghost, Prophets, and Apostasy & Restoration. Then he said “one week a month [...]

I thought I’d lost my FHE plan for the quarter when our web page was lost the second time in January. But, while I was looking for another document, I came across it in a folder on my computer. Yay! Obviously, some of our Family Home Evening lessons haven’t followed the plan since it was [...]

It occurs to me that not everyone knows how to pack a diaper bag, especially those who are having babies or babysitting for the first time. There are differences in what you need on hand depends a lot on the age of the child you are caring for and how long your outing/trip will be, [...]
Okay, I need a plan to recover from my grumpy awakening and here it is: 1. I’m going to go eat something. I’m thinking a bowl of raisin bran will do the trick for now. 2. Say my prayers and read something in the scriptures. Since writing the above, I decided it would be silly [...]

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 of clean, unfolded laundry sitting on the floor around the house and the kids dumped all [...]

Last night Colin did an impromptu Family Home Evening lesson called “God Made Animals.” He pulled a couple of the kids books off the shelf (it happened to be two Golden Books–Bambi and The Saggy, Baggy Elephant), named each animal picture with the kids, then told them that Heavenly Father made each animal because he [...]
Yesterday was my birthday and I really had a great day. My family called and sang Happy Birthday to me on speakerphone in the morning, an indispensable part of any truly good birthday. Colin spent most of the day up north helping with the cleanup of the tornado disaster that happened a couple of weeks ago, [...]

Colin is home sick today and we needed groceries, so Degen and I headed to the grocery store with a list and a budget while Maggie napped and Colin worked on the computer. Degen and I headed to the post office to send off a check, then went to the nearest Kroger. There’s not much [...]

I have had a little case of writers block on and off for a few days. Everything is either too boring to read about (and therefore write about), or too interesting to get around to writing about. The kids and I went to a 50 cent movie (Alvin and the Chipmunks) yesterday with my friend Natalie [...]

Yesterday the kids and I went to the zoo with my friend Natalie and her baby, Blake. We got three solid hours of sunshine and fresh air and exercise–it was awesome after what seems like months of being cooped up inside a little apartment. The Little Rock Zoo was somewhat larger than I expected it [...]
