Not me!
It’s almost Monday, right? MckMama over at My Charming Kids posts a regular Not Me! Monday….As she puts it, “Not Me! Monday was born out of a desire to admit some of our imperfections and reveal a few moments we’d rather forget. Why? Well, for one, because it’s just plain fun to pretend that we…
Beautiful ending to a Sunday
I copied this post (with permission) from my new friend, Wonder Woman’s blog, My Daily Bread. She has wonderful insights daily relating to her scripture study.

Thinking about Grandma
July 2006My Grandma’s houseThis was the last time my kids saw her. I love the fact that everyone’s so happy here. They still talk about Grandma Betty. I just realized when I was looking at the picture that I inherited the capris that she was wearing that day. I was the only one in the…
We built a house….
We typically make one of those gingerbread kits early in December, but somehow I never ran across one in the stores this year. I’m sure they were there. I just never saw them. I was feeling bad about missing out on the family decorating time, so I pulled out a recipe that an former grandma-aged…
