I had one goal this past year, to simplify my life.  I think I did well in some areas, and not so good in others.  On another blog instead of defining new goals, she looked at the things she did get done this past year.  I like that idea, so, here’s some of what IContinue reading “2011 Review”

As I mentioned before, I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Lds or Mormon).  Our leaders a number of years ago issued a statement about some of our beliefs.  They called it The Family:  A Proclamation To The World.  In this Proclamation it states: We further declare that GodContinue reading “Struggling With a Few Things”

I have seen a miracle.  A friend of mine’s son died a week ago.  Through modern medicine and the power of God he is alive today.  After he died his heart was shocked back into working, but it was only working at 10%.  His organ were shutting down and they had to cool down hisContinue reading “I Have Seen a Miracle”

It’s Monday again!  I’m undecided on my feelings for Monday.  I love that after a crazy weekend it’s a chance to jump back into routines again, but it also means that I have to get back to doing laundry. 1.  Shovels.  Out here in the country they are especially useful2.  Straws.  Did you know youContinue reading “Monday's Miracles”

A friend posted a random question on Facebook that got me thinking.  He asked if people believed free thinking would send them to Hell.  A little off the wall question but the short discussion that followed got me thinking.

I have lost my motivation.  Is that something you lose, or something you make?  Either way, I have very little right now.  For a few weeks I was getting up early, letting the dogs out, coming in, reading scriptures, some light exercising, and then doing my computer stuff, all before the kids woke up.  Now,Continue reading “Motivation”

As a Mom, don’t you just love it when you step into the bathroom and all of a sudden all of your kids have questions that need answered RIGHT NOW!  I know I can’t be the only one this has happened to.  This happened, again, to me the other day.  My son was trying toContinue reading “Just tell me and I'll do it”

I don’t know how many people deal with anxiety issues, but I know I am among them.  I would imagine it’s a lot higher than most people realize.  There are probably many people who are like me that know there is something going on with them, but don’t have a name for what it is.  Continue reading “Anxiety Attacks”

1.  Crock-Pots.  I have to say this week I am grateful for these.  We have 2 different kinds of slow cookers and it is so nice to be able to come home to the house smelling yummy and food waiting to be eaten.2.  Planned Leftovers.  I love the idea of cooking something once, but makingContinue reading “Monday's Miracles”
