I created this button to match my new layout while I was listening to the inauguration today. Is it a keeper? Anybody want one? Feel free to grab it and post it on your sidebar (I know you want it!)
Quotable Sunday–Family
A family is a unit composed not only of children but of men, women, an occasional animal, and the common cold. ~Ogden Nash In some families, please is described as the magic word. In our house, however, it was sorry. ~Margaret Laurence Family faces are magic mirrors. Looking at people who belong to us, we…
The moments every mother hopes for….
Necco came home from school today and asked if she could make a cake. Out of the blue. She got to work right away, and made the entire cake and buttercream frosting completely on her own. She even added sprinkles to make the frosting colorful and fun. And then she colored some of the frosting…
Spotlight on KitKat
Yet Another Jay and Deb Production. Hey! I’ve got 10 minutes before the kids come home from school. I have re-scrubbed the carpet where Necco threw up, vacuumed, shopped and put away the food….why not throw out one more post for the day?! And why not make it about someone else? Tuesday’s Tribute is all…
Quotable Sunday–Siblings
I don’t believe an accident of birth makes people sisters or brothers. It makes them siblings, gives them mutuality of parentage. Sisterhood and brotherhood is a condition people have to work at. ~Maya Angelou My father used to play with my brother and me in the yard. Mother would come out and say, “You’re tearing…

Do you have the New Year’s Spirit?
It’s the 2009 New Year’s Spirit Award!! My new friend, Debilyn, just sent me my second blog award. Debilyn is down-to-earth, fun, and REAL, and I feel like I have known her for ages. Her little award came on a good day….or should I say, it was a good thing to get on a bad…
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. So here are Wonder Woman’s words: D&C 6I need to: • exercise the gifts I’ve been given.• Be patient, sober and temperate. Be faithful and diligent in keeping God’s…
The break is over, girls!
This morning was the first week of 9:00am church. After a week and a half of sleeping in and being completely off a schedule, 9:00 was a tough one to meet. But we did it. Barely. It really is tough to get the kids and myself ready for church while CandyMan is off at meetings….
