Food for thought...

So first of all it's...
National Homemade Bread Day
and I really had every intention to make bread but it just didn't happen.
I did however make Focaccia Bread does that count?

It was yummy!
Next time I am going to add garlic.



Second... For Family Home Evening we talked about gossiping.
The title of the lesson is...
The Ugly Truth (found here)



We started off by putting chocolate syrup in Cody's hand and then we passed it along until we completed the circle. I then explained to them how ugly gossiping can get and how what we say sticks and can never be taken back.
After we cleaned our hands with wet wipes we played a little game of telephone.
We ended with a story called "Girlfriends and Gossip" from the friend.
We had a great time tonight and I sure hope that my kids learned something from the object lesson other than playing with chocolate.





What is one of your favorite topics for Family Home Evening?

That is such a good lesson I will be doing that as soon as these kids get a little older and I see them gossiping.

And most of there shoes are $50+ These are one of my favorite!! But I haven't been able to find them cheaper than $89 that's a little steep.(I think) I will find them cheaper you just watch. They might be out of style by the time I can purchase them but I will have them. I love these too! I think I have a new hobby.. collecting shoes, now if I could only afford them. I have a couple of kids who have a difficult time channeling their Anger. So we are thinking of putting them into AKIDO (martial arts). Akido focuses on using there energy to gain control, Not on striking their opponent. I might actually need to take a few classes myself. I find chann
