I'm the mom of two teenagers and two young adults. I enjoy reading and crafting. I'm also a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Here's some of what goes on in my mind...

Today is the last day of school. For some of the kids, it means finals and turning in projects. For my youngest, however, it is a time for games and celebration.
Last Friday, Peter had Field Day at school. He spent most of the time in the bouncy houses, but he also played with the parachute a hula hoop, and he participated in the class tug-of-war.
Today, they had their awards ceremony. Each of the 90 fifth graders received an award, and then was celebrated by the celebration of his or her choice. (sorry these pictures aren't as clear. I took them with my camera phone.) Peter received the "Attention to Detail" award, and then chose "Seal of Approval" for his celebration.
apparently the "selfie" camera feature takes pictures backwards.
Peter and Mrs. Priola, his original homeroom teacher. She took time off halfway through the year to have a baby.
Peter and Ms. Overton, his math teacher.
Peter and Ms. Meyer, the teacher who took over when Mrs Priola left.
It's strange to think that my youngest child has finished elementary school, but this is it. Next year I'll have to middle schoolers and two high schoolers!
I recently told my bishop that I enjoyed giving talks in Sacrament Meeting, and it is true. I didn't expect, however, that I would get an email from a bishopric member on Thursday last week to say that his talks for Sunday had to leave town, and would I be willing to speak? Here is the talk that I gave on Sunday, May 27th, 2012: For my topic today, I was given a talk which was given by President Monson in 1992, entitled “An Attitude of Gratitude”. In his talk President Monson begins by telling the story of the 10 lepers. I would like to share it with you. In Luke 17 we read: And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee. And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off: And they lifted up their voices, and said, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.” And when he saw them, he said unto them, “Go show yourselves unto the priests.” And it came to pass, that, as they went,
How clean is "clean enough"? I realize this question is loaded and the answers are very individual, so for a moment, think about yourself and your home and consider, for you, how clean is "clean enough"? What is the difference between a "quick clean", a "daily clean" and a "deep clean"? At what point do you consider your home "clean enough"? Does "clean enough" mean having a clear path from the front door to the other rooms in the house? Is it having the clutter picked up and the floors vacuumed? Must it be dusted every week, every month, or at all? Is it a quick swipe on the surface to remove the dust or crumbs? Is it a scrub with disinfectant? Is it clearing tables and desks, or delving into cupboards and drawers, purging and organizing? Does it depend on the day of the week? Is "clean enough" on a weekday the same as "clean enough" on a weekend? If not, is it more clean, or less? Is there a
I'm nearing the one year anniversary of the start of my Etsy shop: Lady M's Menagerie ! Many thanks to those who have supported me in this endeavor! I'll confess that my enthusiasm for the shop waned a bit over the last few months. My enthusiasm for most things was dampened as I was dealing with a thyroid related hormone imbalance. I had no energy for anything and just felt tired and blah all the time. Thankfully, about a month ago I met with a new endocrinologist who took me seriously when I told her I was tired all the time in spite of my bloodwork showing I "should" be fine. She altered my prescription and added a new one, and finally I am starting to feel a little more energetic. (Yay!) So with that newfound energy, I wanted to add something new to the shop... the question was, what? The first weekend in October I spent several hours watching General Conference and crocheting mini animals. An oft repeated question was, "What animal should I make next
