It feels so good to go to the mailbox and find the current issue of my favorite magazine, Real Simple, in there waiting for me. For those of you who aren't familiar with Real Simple, check out the website: realsimple.com. Ok, so maybe I am easily exciteable. I love all the organization ideas, the new uses for old things section, the inspirational quotes, the beautiful photographs, the lifestyle columns. It is my favorite mag by faaarrr!

Surprise McKinley!

A week ago, McKinley's best friend, Caty, texted me and asked if she could throw McKinley a surprise birthday party on her birthday.  The girls had been challenged by their Young Women leaders to do a 10 hour project for Individual Worth and she thought it would make a great project to plan a fun party for her! She invited 14 fun friends to join in on the surprise.

Then they went swimming.  Yes, in November and NO, they had not heated the pool. kiki and  Lexie   with Emily  and Molly  and Mallory  and Kylie H.  and Kaly   the Lloyd twins and Abbey  Megan  Kaylie W.  Michaela  and Kylie P who ...

Builders vs. Wreckers

A little poem I heard from John Bytheway on a BYU fireside (on BYUTV) today. Makes me stop and go "hmmmmm....." I might have another resolution to add to my growing list..... Builders vs. Wreckers I passed one day through a lonely town And saw men tearing a building down. With a ho-heave-ho and a husky yell They swung at a beam and a side wall fell. I asked the foreman, “Are these men skilled- The kind you’d hire if you had to build?” “Oh no!” he chuckled, “No indeed- The common laborer is all I need.” “Why I can destroy in a day or two What builders have taken weeks to do.” I thought to myself as I went on my way “Which of these rolls have I tried to play? Am I the builder who works with care Strengthening lives by rule and square, Shaping my peers to a well made plan- Helping them do the best they can- Or am I a wrecker who walks around Content with the labor of tearing down?” -Author Unknown
