Live the Hope of Eternal Life
Parents, teachers, and leaders: live in your homes, in your families, in your marriages so that youth will develop hope for eternal life from watching you. Live and teach with so much clarity that what you teach will cut through all the noise youth are hearing and so that it will pierce their hearts and touch them.
Live in your home so that you’re brilliant in the basics, so that you’re intentional about your roles and responsibilities in the family. Think in terms of precision not perfection. If you have your goals and you are precise in how you go about them in your homes, youth will learn from you. They will learn that you pray, study the scriptures together, have family home evening, make a priority of mealtimes, and speak respectfully of your marriage partner. Then from your example the rising generation will gain great hope.

Reason #47 why the Internet is evil and awesome all at the same time
Skip forward to stressful time of day (4pm). You emerge to find that your really cute and mischevious daughter has decided to express her artistry on your beautiful, wood dining room table with a black Sharpie. I would love to say that I remained totally calm, but we all know that's not true. When I was done having a meltdown, I got on the computer and discovered others had also suffered the same fate and generously shared their findings of a solution. So, I decided I would do the same for you all, just in case Sophie is ever at your house and you leave out a black sharpie.
**Toothpaste removes permanent marker from wood!!**
so simple, so wonderful.

Gorgonzola or Papaya
I am really good at blogging
Long story short, can everyone who is not blog-challenged as I am please keep posting because I really enjoy this little blog we have.
And I am ready for our first single ingredient.
Oh and I made this lasagna the other night and it was ridiculously good. Try this recipe. And don't fret if you don't have everything - neither did I. I just substituted with what I had and it was seriously delicious
PS if you want to know what subs I made - send me an e-mail.

Puree in blender and voila! Thin with water to your liking and season with salt/pepper to your liking.
