Is it just me or....

Are you completely UNPRODUCTIVE in the summer time while the kids are home from school? My house is dirtier than I think I have ever allowed in my twenty years of marriage! But, I have to admit we are having a good time. Every day I resolve that when the kids go to bed that night I am going to spend some time dusting and disinfecting. However, by the time that comes, I am exhausted from spending the day in the heat and in the pool! Please tell me I am not the only one who has fallen prey to this! -signed, discouraged homemaker/mom

Here is a poem I think you can apply!

By Ruth Hamilton

Cleaning and Scrubbing can wait till tomorrow. For babies grow up we've learned to our sorrow...
So quiet down cobwebs, dust, go to sleep...
I am rocking my baby, and babies don't keep!



I think this applies to you.

Surprise McKinley!

Image
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. I wish I would have taken the time to take a picture of the cute chocolate fountain and home made cupcakes she made.  She had blown up about 20 balloons and when McKinley walked in to the house they jumped out and showered her with shredded paper. 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

Image
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
