Lazy Week, BUT-
11/30/2010 • Hey all. I'm pretty sure this is going to need to be a lazy week with minimal posting. My mom (who has been here with me since prior to my surgery) is gone now and so I'm just trying to focus on taking care of my girls and myself. However, tune in Friday for a yummy giveaway from some of our friends at Shelf Reliance/THRIVE! Yeehaw! {GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED.}
Food For Thought: Steps to Self-Reliance
11/29/2010 • The following is a list from Elder Robert D. Hales on ways to be self-reliant: Be ready for rainy-day emergencies Avoid excessive debt; be content with what we have Use the resources of the earth wisely; don't be wasteful Prepare for the future by making spending and savings plans Keep a family or personal budget Teach children wise spending habits and help them save for the future Obtain an education or vocational training Find gainful employment "As we become self-reliant, we will be prepared to face challenges with confidence and peace of mind."
Important Papers Project: Addresses & Contacts
11/26/2010 • Happy Friday all! Well with the holidays fast approaching, it seems like the perfect time to jump into Section 2 of our Important Papers Project... Addresses & Contact Lists. This section is pretty self-explanatory. It's just a bunch of contact lists for family, friends, associates, neighbors, etc that are all kept in one place. In addition, I'm including mailing lists in this section. So for Christmas, you can just pull out your Christmas Card mailing list and check off each person as you send them your card to make sure you don't forget anyone. If you are not LDS, then you won't more
Happy Thanksgiving Y’all!
11/25/2010 • I hope that, wherever we are, we are surrounded by those we love and are loved by. I hope that, no matter who we are, we remember to be grateful for all of our bounteous blessings. I hope that, regardless of circumstances, we find it in our hearts to reach out to someone who may need our help. And most importantly, I hope we will ALWAYS remember Who it is that reaches a hand to us to bless us and help us every day. May we always give thanks to the Lord above for the miracles we have all around us. Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
