Light the World | 25 Days in 25 Ways
Each year as I prepare for the Christmas season and I plan my family's December Activities, I am always searching for new ways to focus on the Savior and the true meaning of the season. Amidst all the fun, holiday-themed activities, I feel it is really important for my family to remember Jesus Christ and his story and how we can become more like him. As I have been preparing for the holidays this year, I was so happy and excited to discover a wonderful campaign that my church has initiated, I was thrilled to find so much ideas and inspiration about following our Savior, Jesus Christ in December. I also discovered many other sites that have built upon this idea and I am so excited that there are so many resources, starting with mormon.org and HERE! “As we follow the example ... [Read More]

Life 365 | Week 51
Monday, December 13, 2010 At her Girls Scouts tonight - Beth made Joey and I some little holiday jars. She did a great job! Tuesday, December 14, 2010 JJ received his Wolf Badge tonight and we are so proud of him. Sister Pinkston was so kind to do his painting/stamping on his hand instead of his face, since JJ really doesn't like anything on his face. He has worked hard to get it done and Scouts has been one of his favorite things to do. Wednesday, December 15, 2010 I love the snow - as long as I don't have to drive in it.

Life 365 | Week 48
Monday, November 22, 2010 We made our countdown to Christmas paper chains today. I was going to wait until next week, but the kids were anxious to do something - so we did it! They were excited to hang them up in their rooms! Tuesday, November 23, 2010 I made navajo tacos for the first time tonight. I think it went over really well! Wednesday, November 24, 2010 So the kids didn't have to go to school today and so they were watching some tv this morning while I was in my room. I suddenly heard the distinct sound that JJ makes when he has a seizure. I ran in and Beth was freaking out. So we waited out the seizure and got Beth calmed down. I was so relieved when he stopped seizing. I hadn't even realized he had a fever - I knew he was coughing a bit, but had no idea he was as ... [Read More]
