Hurray ~ Halloween is over! Yes! I tried not to be too grinchy about it. I even decorated the porch. I bought jammies/costumes for the littles… and Abe and Hannah were semi-on-their-own for their costumes. Roarrrrrrr! They are all cuties… But – let’s move onto Thanksgiving. Sigh…
From now on you can just call me Akela. For my new calling is Wolf Den Mother. ha-ha. Okay – Den Leader is probably the official title. Now, I’m thoroughly confused about scouting. I don’t know why. But I think I’ve finally figured it out (mostly). For some reason I failed to have Abe do […]

Every year when I put together the Primary Theme Posters for our Calendar … I LOVE IT! All of the simple truths of the gospel are placed in my heart once again – I realize how important those truths are – and the value in teaching them to our children. My heart thrills when I […]
But – I knew my sister Amy and her Harry Potterish Friends would enjoy them. I shared these over at SFD as freebies.
Perhaps I ought to sigh and smile and feel relieved. But I’m feeling a little LOST instead. I was released as Relief Society President on Sunday. I was sustained on September 25, 2011. Released on October 14, 2012. Just over a year. Probably the hardest year of my life. I’m still alive. All the tots […]
