Help- your Ideas Please

I've been asked to put together a virtual learning station for the BYU Womens Conference this year- thanks Mom.... so, I need some ideas. I want to gather helpful hints that moms can apply to help them find JOY in mothering. Because like Elder Andersen said in conference, there are times when all of us would answer: "They’re all mine, and it’s no picnic!” I think with a little work we can make most days a picnic. What are your thoughts????

What do you do to make things flow well in your home????
-these ideas can be for any facet, organization, spiritual readiness, overcoming depression of staying at home, finding ways to serve even though you have young children, using your talents...

really anything that you find brings TRUE JOY into Mothering.

I only have a little over two weeks to have everything ready- please help!!!

I'm also really stressing about what to put in the 'booth' this is totally out of my comfort zone. My decorating and design skills are pathetic. If you want to give me a hand let me know.

This is what that frame I made along time ago ended up looking like...

Thankyou andy

Barbie Lives Here

Amber is enjoying Barbies new house with several new barbies as well thanks to Grandma-s. Kelby and my Dad build this whopper. It's great- but can only be moved from room to room if the room door is taken off of it's hinges. It will be fun for Amber to paint the rooms and decorate to boot!

Actually, I'm having fun too.

We'll catch you my pretty....

We have some special friends that have been visiting us every night for a little over a week now. I'm guessing from their last drop off that they might occasionally browse through our blog. So, for those random mystery browsers, Gavin was very excited about his special gift and brought the bottle to me and read the back where you circled it. Thank-You. I hope that he uses it- we went right in and read the directions together and got it all situated in a special place just for him.

Thanks for making our Christmas fun and thinking of us. We've loved all of the little gifts. We really won't try to catch you unless you want to be caught. In our minds you look something like this: Merry Christmas!

4 Cavities cost $500.00 Merry Christmas

Gavin has 4 cavities. We don't really feel like having baby teeth cavities filled- it seems a waste of 500.00 to protect teeth that are going to fall out soon. So- here is the question? Does that make us bad parents? And are we going to regret not filling those little suckers?

Santa is definitely bringing toothbrushes. And sugarless candy too.

Here are the xray pics- Can anyone- especially our dentist friends out there- give us some advise? We have no idea what we are looking at????

The dentist said the 4 cavities are on teeth K, L, S, T, and priced the fillings as a resin-2 surface, posterior????

Family Pics 2011

Gavin's teacher showed us this at Parent Teacher Conference- notice the phonetic spelling of a first grader. We really laughed at this one. What a priceless memory

Evan drew me this picture and was very proud
