What Would You Do?

Your brother (your only sibling!) was born with one kidney. Now it’s failing. You are a match to donate. Would you do it? I think most would. Ok, let’s add a catch. You’re an athlete and you have a career ahead of you. Giving up a kidney would sacrifice your dream. Would you still do it? I’d still say most would. It would be...

I’m Cheap.

We decided to par down our grocery bill lately. This can be difficult for me, since I like to make a wide variety of foods and they’re not usually boring or repetitive. I like the challenge of cooking complexly. So I came up with a menu for the week and thought I’d share, just in case anyone needs some ideas. And if you have...

Walking Work Out!

Here’s a great (read evil and mean) walking workout for a treadmill. If your elevations are different, adjust to what you can. Elevation at a 3 is just slightly uphill. A 12 is pretty steep.  Good luck! Keep your speed at 3.5…if you’re already in shape keep it at 4. 0-5 min…elevation at 3. 5-7 min…elevation at 9. 7-8 min…elevation at 5. 8-10 min…elevation...

Reminder…Conference is Coming!

Hello, all my fellow LDS-ers.  Just a reminder that General Conference is coming up in 2 weeks! We will be enjoying Conference from the comfort of our home on the BYU channel on tv instead of online like years past. Yay! I really do love conference…it’s such a fantastic spiritual boost.

I Started a Workout Group!

A couple weeks ago I invited a friend to come work out with me…I need motivation. And if I know someone is coming over, it’s motivation to push myself and give her a good workout. I get a sick kick out of making someone sore. 😀  Really, that’s when I know I did a good job and did it right…not trying to be mean...

“Critically” Important Election Year??

We got a letter in the mail from one of the political parties asking for support. The opening line was, “To say this is a critically important election year would surely be an understatement.” When was the last election that wasn’t important? And this one is really “critical?” Hmmm…I can think of 4 right off the top of my head that were probably more...

Book Club!

My sil suggested awhile back starting a book club. Shortly after that, a friend of mine started one.  Nice timing. She suggested a book called “The Memory Keeper’s Daughter.” My friend said she couldn’t put it down, it was so good. And I remembered it was going to be turned into a movie. I read all the summaries on/in the book cover and discussed...
