New Venue for our Garden Party

The garden party has been moved to Alma's lovely yard! Thank you Alma! Please bring a salad or dessert and a chair. We will enjoy and evening of visiting while working together on humanitarian projects.
Our daytime activity will be a picnic in the park at 11:30. Put in on your calendar!

A stitch in time....

A big "thank you "for all your continuing help with the flannel baby quilts, bibs and burp cloths. The humanitarian projects are going great! If you want to learn to crochet, let us know! There are very simple stitches to get you started and if you are ready to learn a new stitch or something more elaborate, we can connect you with a sister who will teach you. And don't forget your opportunity to have your family come up with and complete a project. If you are looking for ideas, we will be happy to help!

A Word About Visiting Teaching

It's funny, every once in awhile it hits me and today was one of those days. It's something that I have been doing since I was 18. I was lucky enough to be partnered with my mother, who is an angel. She taught me years previous, by her diligence and example, the importance of visiting teaching. Now I am partnered with my own daughter and my life has come full circle. What a blessing.
I don't think I am the best visiting teacher, in fact sometimes I am a bit flaky. All that said, I have to say how much I love visiting teaching. I love it. I love the sisters I teach, I love the partner I go with and I love the sisters who teach me.
Today, as usual, I learned more than I taught and on the way home, with a book borrowed from the sister I saw, I counted my blessings. Heavenly Father has given me so much through this inspired program. The greatest blessing I have received from the visiting teaching program? A connection with sisters that helps me be a better wife and mother and friend, because each sister has become my friend. And who can have too many friends?

Meet Us In The Garden

Kathie H. has graciously agreed to host our upcoming Garden Party. Plan your favorite salad (or other dish) to share with us that night. We will have a few humanitarian projects that we would love to have you help us with, and plenty of socializing with friends. This is always one of my favorite activities. The Young Women of the ward are also invited and that makes me twice as excited.
See you June 15th at Kathie's house! Oh, and bring along a chair!

A Penny Saved Is A Penny Earned

Thanks so much to everyone who attended our couponing class! It was so nice to see you and I hope that you learned something that will help you and your family save money. I missed being there, but I heard that the teacher was thorough and that we may want to have a follow up class in a month or so. If you have questions in the mean time try looking at the following website: http://savvyshopperdeals.com/ there are a few tutorials that have helped me. See you at the Garden Party!
