Baking with Sadie

Some days just call for homemade chocolate chip cookies.

The two littles were asleep and Hallie stayed after school for Science Ambassadors so Sadie and I were left alone for a bit. I enjoyed so much spending this alone time with her. One on one time is rare around here so it's always cherished time to spend one on one with each of the kids.

 

  



That time of year

We've got the nose drizzling, sneezing, coughing, etc. in full force at our house.

Walked out of the  bathroom and found this. Poor little guy. 

General Conference

We had a good weekend listening/watching General Conference. So many good things were said! There were many distractions as is the usual around here but my heart was so happy Sunday morning as I took it all in. We were all together, gathered around the TV eating warm cinnamon rolls from the oven, watching general conference. No. The kids didn't listen the whole time, yes they were loud and disruptive for the majority of the time, yes there was a good amount of bickering and fighting but we were together and the bits and pieces I was able to hear were so powerful. 

A few quotes that I really loved:

"I may not be my brothers keeper but I am my brothers brother and because I have been given much I too must give"

Elder Holland

"Take time everyday to talk to him. Tell him everything."

Elder Scott

"Kindness is powerful."
