“...Because people who love to eat are always the best people.”

 "...in social life, you will never make a good impression on other people until you stop thinking about what sort of impression you are making."  -CS Lewis

"The only thing of value we can give our children is what we are - not what we have." 

i really like this quote even though i don't know who said it. My parents have given me much in life, many gifts, many opportunities, much help, etc...but i think what i value most of what they've given me is WHO THEY ARE...their examples, their love, and their friendship.

i love simple quotes like this one! In times of confusion or doubt...just stay on the Lord's side and it will all work out!

i am loving this time in our little family's lives...when all the little ones are home. It is such a blessing to spend every day and nearly every minute with three cute little cherubs:)  Even though the mundane goings on of each day gets tiring sometimes, there is much joy and contentment in these simple days.

"To you women of today, who are old or young, may I suggest to you that you write, that you keep journals, that you express your thoughts on paper. Writing is a great discipline. It is a tremendous education effort. It will assist you in various ways, and you will bless the lives of many--now and in the years to come, as you put on paper some of your experiences and some of your musings." --President Gordon B. Hinckley
