FHE

We are going to be learning this song for FHE tonight(there is an updated version on Sugardoodle.net which includes Elder Neil L. Anderson). Not only will it teach Peanut and Finley the apostles, but it will help me and Chuckles too, we are always getting the apostles mixed up. This last week we were able to attend our first temple session at the Draper Temple and we were in the same session as Elder Richard G. Scott, we were trying to remember what his talk was about at Genenral Conference 4 days before. We were totally wrong we said it was on Provident Living and no it was on Temple Worship. Hopefully this song will help us keep them all straight.

A nifty site

Hello, everyone out there is blogland! I have had some people ask me how I am learning to take pictures. Basically I read, read, read and then I will read some more. I did however find this cool site called WWW.ZIBTIPS.COM . It is really informational. It is perfect for people who want to improve your phtography skills, whether is just for personal pictures or if you are preparing yourself to be a Pro. Right now there is a huge tutorial on Photography and it looks like they are working on tutorials for health and nutrition, investing, and sustainable living. Take a look, it is highly recommended by me!

What I Learned...

I spend way too much time in front of the computer lately. I know I have said this before, but I will say it again-I am addicted to reading blogs. Today I was sitting and thinking about all the blogs I have read and realized I have actually learned and improved myself by doing so. Let me list the ways. . .I will start by writing about a really addicting site (if you like blogs) It is a site with tons of links to LDS women's blogs I guess this is the site I am really addicted to. I read one of a women who is a runner and she talked about beating her personal record and how satisfying that was, so this morning at the gym I worked really hard at running the entire tread-mill class (which I have never done) and I did! It was 45 minutes and 3.89 miles of continuous running, that might not be a big deal to some people, but It was for me I am a wimp-especially when it comes to running. The next thing I found on a certain blog was an amazing site developed to help plan menus for your family It lists all sorts of ideas for shopping, organizing your pantry, and tips on how to freeze meals. I don't mind cooking, but I hate having to decide what to cook and this site helps a lot. Oh, and it has a lot of ideas on lunches and breakfasts for kids, which I always struggle with. Moving on, I read a blog of a woman who teaches some sort of religion class maybe Sunday school, maybe seminary she didn't say but they were learning about the lives of the prophets and with each prophet she likes to cook the prophet's favorite food and take it to class. She told of waking up really early so she could make 33 mini loaves of bread and 8 normal loaves to take to class because whoever they were learning about loved bread and milk. WOW! that is magnifying your calling and it made me think that I needed to put more effort into my primary lessons. There are my excuses for reading so many blogs. I don't feel as guilty for gluing myself to the computer when I am actually learning something :) yeah I know I am pathetic.
