Looking Forward To:
Wed. when T gets out of school early and we can have play time.

Homemaking Tip For This Week:
I know this is simple and probably something the majority of people does, but my tip is this. Plan your meals in advance, make a weekly menu. This leaves you with out the question of "What's for dinner?" and more importantly saves you gas money and grocery money from multiple trips to the grocery store throughout the week. And face it no one likes going to the grocery store, especially with young children.

Favorite Blog Post of the Week:
This post from Joy's Hope. What can I say, I am a sucker for tutorials.

Favorite Photo From Last Week:


Lesson Learned the Past Few Days:
Create traditions, create memories.

On My Prayer List:
My family

Devotionals, Scripture Reading and Key Verses:
Let thy bowels also be full of charity towards all men, and to the household of faith, and let virtue garnish thy thoughts unceasingly; then shall thy confidence wax strong in the presence of God; and the doctrine of the priesthood shall distill upon thy soul as the dews from heaven. Doctrine and Covenants 121:45
