Change is Good

-
Boy, I've got a lot of catching up to do on my blog. Summer has been so busy it's cutting into my blogging time. Geez!



Sunday, I received a new calling (assignment) at church. It's bitter/sweet for me. Bitter because I was really looking forward to the challenge and creativity of being on the Enrichment board. However, I wasn't utilized as much as I would have liked and therefore ready for a change.

Sweet for me, because I'm back in my element of teaching the kiddos in Primary. I'm teaching the 3 and 4 year olds and am really looking foward to snacks, bubbles, and lots of games each Sunday.



Since the 3 year olds have the same lesson plans as the 2 year olds, I'm set! I went completely OTT when I was in charge of the 2 year olds (nursery leader) and filed all my lesson plans, hand outs, and games in these two file folders.



Sunday the lesson was on Taste and Feel. I brought some sour skittles along with some other goodies for the lesson. We had our lesson, took a walk, made masks, colored, read tasting and seeing books, and played with fake food.

That's my kind of Sunday!

I know that none of our callings to serve are pain positions... but in your case they SHOULD BE!!! You are awesome! Those little kids (and their parents) are so blessed to have you be their teacher.

Rock on Mrs. Sunbeam. :)

O.k., you know I meant "PAID" not "PAIN" ... maybe it would be a Fruedian slip since my son is whining and crying in the other room.

Wow, I totally have blenvy right now. I thought I had an o.k. filing system for my nursery stuff but yours is great. You kind of need to keep that sruff since it's a great work to put it all together. I was only in nursery for 1 1/2 years then was put into the Primary Presidency. I still have all my stuff. Maybe I should file them in the boxes like yours. It would probably tak up less space.

Wow! I'm impressed with how organized you are. I thought I was doing good by having everything in a binder! =) I'm in nursery, so feel free to share any ideas! (Although we are a bit ahead of you... our lesson this past Sunday was on feelings).

Blogging 101 - What Not To Do

Since I just did a post to welcome a bunch of new bloggers, I thought I'd give our newbies some good tried and true: Blogging 101 -What NOT to do! Yes, this is unsolicited advice from yours truly, but I think it's about time someone addresses the issues. #1. Don't get green with envy , Blenvy it's coined, while reading other's blogs. According to CJane , "It usually comes from reading a blog that emphasizes my insecurities." Well said blogger guru. I couldn't agree with you more. Please remember that each post is just a moment of that person's day/week. Instead, just be happy that something amazing happened to your fellow blogger. Be inspired by them! If you really feel the need, use that insecurity to make a change in your own life and do something similar. #2. If people don't update their blog roll by adding your name under 'Friends & Family' don't get your feelings hurt . It's simply a nice gesture, forgotten. Seasoned b...

Craft Closet Make Over

I've finally done it. After 2 years of living in this house, I've finally finished organizing the last closet in my home. This is the guest room closet that doubles as my "craft" closet. You could barely consider it a walk-in closet, but with 2 new shelves my man built for me over the weekend, it's got just enough space for what I need. Closet Before Closet Before - complete chaos ! After - view from hall (I used a different camera because mine is still broken. It was so hard to get these pics the space is so small. I hope you can get the idea.) Small shelf with hanging space for guests clothes - just above the door that goes to the attic. I spray painted 2 of these tins pink and glued flowers onto the other 3. Top Shelf Middle, 2 new shelves that Jason made and I painted white. I added these "curtains" to cover the other white bins and to make the space less messy. I used 2 tension rods and they open up in the middle. I was inspired by this craft room ...

I can't believe it, as of Tuesday, I have been blogging for one year! On the outside not much has changed: I have 3 boys, live in the same house, my man has the same job, and I still go to Mavens, book club, and dinner club with the same fab friends. But in reality a lot has changed: * Davis has braces * Davis is now medicated * Dylan has been diagnosed with ADHD and is now medicated {{a hit to my ego}} * Finished Mommy & Me gymnastics with Drake * Drake is talking a little * Drake is in a big boy bed - although still not sleeping through the night * Jason's going to school to get his MBA * Executive Homemaker which took over a year to design and 5 years as a concept is 15 months old and has 2,333 members and growing at a rate of 300+ new members every month. * Executive Homemaker's online store has grown from three to 26 Mom- prenuers ! * Tip Junkie is 11 months old * My house is a little prettier and more organized * My Dad is divorced * My brother Scott came home...
