I ♥ Faces: White
I think it’s been over a year since I’ve entered an I ♥ Faces weekly challenge. I used to enter every week! I’ve decided to try and do that again. This week’s challenge is white . . . in a color photo. No black and white photos allowed. I took this photo of Hershey the […]
The Blessing of Scripture
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth;” Romans 1:16 “And we talk of Christ, we rejoice in Christ, we preach of Christ, we prophesy of Christ, and we write according to our prophecies, that our children may know […]
Daughters in my Kingdom: It’s here!!
Our ward’s supply of the new Daughters in my Kingdom: The History and Work of Relief Society is here! It came Thursday evening. Of course, I couldn’t wait and had to open the box immediately. They are lovely! They are beautiful blue soft-covered books with rounded corners that are just a bit larger than regular […]
Cute Gift Packaging
Any time we go to a baby or bridal shower, give birthday presents, or even Christmas gifts most people have come to know which gift is ours just because of our signature gift wrapping. Brown paper packages tied up with string. Here’s an example of some I sent as part of a Twelve Days of […]
Because You Asked
Little Ganache is doing so much better! At his four week checkup he weighed 7 lbs 10 oz – one ounce more than his birth weight. Look he even has a tiny double chin! Considering what his little body has gone through that is terrific news! No more saggy, wrinkly skin. Just very kissable cheeks, […]
Daughters in My Kingdom: The History and Work of Relief Society.
The new history about Relief Society is DONE!!! Can I get a big HOORAY!!!! Called Daughters in My Kingdom: The History and Work of Relief Society, it should be arriving to all English speaking church units soon. “Another blessing of the book I think will be, that it will break down some of the myths […]
The Harvest
Golden heads swing in the breeze against the backdrop of a cloudless blue sky. Each stalk the product of a tiny seed placed in well-prepared soil. A seed can multiply itself thirty, sixty, or even a hundredfold. Such is God’s law. Contemplate, then, as one of His spirit children your potential as part of the […]
A little teaser . . .
I got on the computer with the intention of uploading some photos of our wheat harvest only to find my camera battery was dead. Dead, dead, dead. So that post will come tomorrow. Instead I leave you with a little teaser. I am working on a project with three other terrific bloggers. It involves a […]
Julie B. Beck’s 2011 Women’s Conference Talk
Sister Julie B. Beck’s talk from the 2011 BYU Women’s Conference has finally been transcribed!!!! Click below to get the pdf file: Julie B. Beck: Opening Session I highly recommend printing it off and not just reading it but studying it. It is a good twelve pages long so it would be a great for […]
The cause of the fire
A number of you guessed correctly the cause of the fire had to do with the smoke stack (or exhaust pipe) of the truck. The stack was too short causing the exhaust to blow right into the hay bales behind it. Stray pieces of hay may also have blown down the stack while the truck […]
FIRE!
Here’s the excitement in our neck of the desert today. The view coming down the east side of the mountain. Calming the fire before the rest of the hay is consumed. See the different colored smoke from the various items on fire? The truck is completely burned to a puddle because of all the fuel […]
National Book Lover’s Day!!
In honor of National Book Lover’s Day today, here’s a recap of my favorite children’s book, Just David by Eleanor H. Porter. It is a delightful, innocent type of book written by the same author of Pollyanna. David, a ten-year-old orphan boy, is simply and purely good. His sweet innocence but wise observations of life […]
We are family
We are slowly getting back into the swing of things around here. Friday we went to Fallon for a family gathering with Mr. Ferrero Rocher’s parents and siblings. Aren’t they a good looking crew? We got a kick out of his dad’s tie straight from the ’70s! Hang on to things long enough and they […]
