Cook Books


I am one of those people who buys great cookbooks and magazines and then never makes anything out of them. Maybe it is because I am so busy with the rest of my life that I have never made time, or maybe it is because I am a chicken when it comes to cooking. Regardless i have about a million and I don't know where to start...am I the only one who does this?

BALaNCE

Finding balance in my hectic life is something I really struggle with. I made it to Enrichment for the first time in like 4 years and only because I was already at the Church for my calling as Bear leader. I find myself always rushing from the next thing to the next without finding time to really enjoy life. How does one balance Marriage, Motherhood, Money, Exercise, Talents, Personal Study, etc with only 24 hours in the day? I find myself coming up short 99% of the time. I guess that all I can really do is try to prioritize better. I am the most disorganized person i know. Well maybe not as bad as my mom. :) I think I just need to stop procrastinating LIFE. It will all balance out by itself i guess. Or not. Either way...I can't very well get off the train can I?

SpRinKles


...So my life like so many out there is as a wife, mother, and worker bee. There are many times when I feel totally overwhelmed by everything on my plate. Usually what is left over at the end of the day are "sprinkles." By that I mean the bits and pieces of life that leave a lasting impression on who I am and who I am becoming. Sometimes they are sweet sprinkles and sometimes they are not-so-sweet. Some are red and some are blue. Some are broken and some are perfect. I am terrible at keeping a journal as I should so I am attempting to record my "sprinkles" here. They are after all what make life interesting and usually a little crazy. Besides...who wants to be normal anyway? Certainly not me...even if I tried. :) HeRE WE gOOOOO...
