GingerSnap and I tried something new over the weekend. We were all out of Jello, but we have boxes and boxes of gelatin. We researched how to make our own version of Jello, but after it didn’t set up, we took a risk to fix it and it worked! The gelatin we made is firm,… Read More Homemade “Kool-aid Jello”
We had some special guests in our home tonight. Fran and Sarah! We sure do love these two ladies. We enjoyed a yummy, no carb or sugar dinner, and then we played a fun game of Scattergories.

Boy that’s a mouthful! (Curly Cook playing with her Primary class after church.) Tonight I’m grateful for Fast Sunday Family Movie Night. Each Fast Sunday we fast dinner the night before, as well as breakfast on Fast Sunday, so that we can serve the missionaries lunch after church.

Tonight was a bit different. We have no power. Paul had his Stake Presidency meetings, GingerSnap and Joy Boy got to play “Just Dance” on the Wii for YM/YW’s (their church youth group). So Curly Cook and I snuggled up on the couch to do our “Mom and Me” time, when the power went out!… Read More No Power
Today was a blessed day because we had a maid come in and clean our entire house for us. Her name is Karla and she is literally the hardest working, most efficient cleaner I know. She is worth every cent we paid to her today (I even wish I could give her a tip) and… Read More Breakfast Cookies Revamped
So, the two kiddos worked diligently to earn the privilege of attending school today. Due to their argument last Thursday, they had a fine to pay, and until that fine was paid, they were suspended from school.
