bidding farewell

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 29 Jan 2013 04:21:00 +0000

Dear Friends (because I consider you all my friends),

Have you ever prayed for something, and then didn't like the answer? So then you pretend like it wasn't really an answer, and then you just keep praying for the same thing over and over and never seem to see results because you've just gotten really good at ignoring what the Lord is telling you? I've been doing that for the past little while. Ok, more like the past two years.

I've had a really bad habit of adding more and more to my plate, trying to do more things online and work-wise, but having less and less time to be a mom and a wife. It was getting so bad that instances of me preparing dinner or doing laundry were getting fewer and farther between. As in, weeks would literally pass without me doing either. And I felt like I was constantly pushing my kids away from me so that I could fit in all the work that needed done.

I knew that things couldn't stay this way, but I wasn't sure how to find a balance in life. I kept praying that I would somehow figure out how to keep up with everything, have time and energy to be a mom again, and to find happiness instead of stress. But I never seemed to like the answer - DO LESS. Because I thought I needed to do all these things. Because, frankly, I have to help provide monetarily for my family, and these things were keeping us barely afloat, financially speaking. So doing less seemed really really scary.

And then years passed. And I kept praying for the same thing. And I kept having the same results, when I kept ignoring the answer.

Until, finally, I decided to listen. I've decided that I'm going to be doing less, and replacing it with faith and family.

One of the things I won't be doing is Green Jello with Carrots - I'm leaving. My mom and I started doing this almost 4 years ago, and I wish I could say that we'll be doing it forever. I have really enjoyed the time that I've been doing this, and leaving is hard. But at the end of this month/week I'll officially be gone, leaving my mom in charge. I'm not sure what her plans are yet, but I know she'll be posting updates and announcements on facebook.

But I know I don't want to be completely gone from the webiverse (as much as I would like to shove my computer out the window some days, I know that's not really possible). And besides, I have all these great printables that shouldn't go to waste, right? So I'm going to be donating all of my LDS printables to Mormon Mommy Blogs and their new (and going to be amazing) free printables site. So whenever I get a hankering to make something new I'll have somewhere to share it.

Plus I'll still be over at peoniesandpoppyseeds.com making free printable party kits and crafts. Caroline from MMB and I love making these free party printables. We probably won't be posting as much as we used to, but we'll post enough to make it worth it.

But mostly, I plan on hanging out with my kids. And relearning how to use a saucepan. And going to the library. And volunteering at the elementary school. And getting back to daily scripture reading. And possibly even doing a load of laundry every now and then.

And hopefully I'll find that balance that I've been praying for, especially now that I'm willing to listen to the answer.

Thanks for everything!

~ Melissa

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 11 Dec 2012 07:34:00 +0000

The 2013 Primary theme is awesome and easy (I love it when they're easy). It's "I am a Child of God" and we have all sorts of brand new printable goodies that go along with it!

We have two styles of printables with the 2013 Primary theme. The "sophsticated modern" style:

Or the "whimsically cute" set:

Both sets include:

• printable binder covers for teachers, presidency members, and misc leaders (like Singing Time and Activity Days)

• printable bookmarks with the 2013 theme

• printable pencil toppers with the theme (and one set of assignment pencil toppers - I used these EVERY WEEK when I was Primary Secretary - they make assigning talks/prayer/scripture for opening exercises so so so easy!)

• a printable poster of the Primary 2013 theme

• and my favorite, printable classroom door signs - because the beginning of the year is super confusing when you don't know which class your kid is going to. But when they're clearly marked it's SO MUCH BETTER.

I was hanging out in my son's kindergarten class this week playing a matching game with upper and lower case alphabet cards.

Printable Family Home Evening Charts are SO EASY

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 27 Nov 2012 14:00:00 +0000

If you want to use one (or all) of our printable FHE charts but aren't sure how they work, then let me tell you how easy they are!

First of all, you get your download and print the pages on cardstock (which is just thick paper). You should have two pages of background image and then a page or two with the pieces. If you have a big family, make sure to print enough pieces for everyone.

Next, just cut everything out and cut around the background image.

Now you have to hook your two background pieces together. I suggest lining them up perfectly and taping them all along the backside.

Then write the names of your family members on the backsides of the pieces. Each person gets a piece of their own.

And then you need to laminate everything or cover it with clear contact paper. I always use contact paper because, depending on where you go, it's a lot cheaper than lamination. And besides, I like to plop down in front of Netflix if I have a lot of cutting and stuff to do and lamination would require that I leave my house in the middle of everything.

Next you need to cut out your pieces again - because that is the bane of covering them. (But it's worth it, because the pieces will last SO MUCH LONGER.)

So now comes the time to use your chart (which is also super easy to do). Hang the background image somewhere your whole family will see it. You can stick the pieces to the background using a few things. You can get some of the sticky backed velcro and attach it to each piece and the background image so that the pieces can just peel on and off. You can hang the chart on the fridge and put strong magnets on the backs of your pieces. Or you can be lazy and do what we do - we just get a few pieces of stick tack and just use that to stick the pieces on.

Each week you need to rotate the pieces so that everyone in your family has a turn doing something for FHE. If your family is large you won't all be able to participate each week so make sure to rotate people in.

And there you have it - an easy printable FHE chart! It will help everyone get organized and excited about having Family Home Evening each week.
