The Egg McMuffin from Heaven??
People talk about signs from Heaven all the time – pennies that show up unexpectedly in your pathway, rainbows in the sky, a ladybug that lands next to you when you’re sitting outside. The signs are usually something pretty, or shiny or symbolic of good and happy things (not Egg McMuffins). If you’re like me, you like to believe they really are signs from Heaven, but once in awhile you have a little twinge of doubt. Well the morning that…

For These Things, I am Truly Grateful
Grateful! In August of 2014, I believe it was my niece that sent me a challenge on Facebook, to post something I was thankful for each day, every day, for a week. I found it impossible to narrow my list down to just seven things. So I broke each day into three sections, but actually each of those sections could be broken down several times over. Many people use the month of November to post each day something they are…

Roasting Sunflower Seeds
This year G2 and I grew a giant sunflower. As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had to convince him that it was okay for boys to grow flowers; the giant part helped! I also told him that his great grandpa was a gardener and grew all kinds of flowers! So grow one we did and it was a success. We only grew one and we started it in a little pot in the house in the early Spring. It got…

Pumpkin Walk
Every Halloween the city of Syracuse, Utah puts on a spectacular display of pumpkins, carved and painted! It’s one of our family traditions to attend The Pumpkin Walk every October. I love to walk among the jack-o-lanterns with my grand babies. Bundled up for the cold, with red cheeks and noses, they run from one pumpkin to the next, oohing and awing and telling the rest of the family, “Look at this one! Look at this one!” The kids get…

Mummy Bottle
My sister loves wine and Halloween. Her birthday is the 22nd of October so the month is doubly special to her. She has dozens and dozens of cute and scary decorations that she puts up in her house and most years she has a costume party to celebrate Halloween and her birthday. My other two sisters and I have traditionally given her Halloween decorations for her birthday. A couple of years ago I decided to combine her love for Halloween…

Creepy Crawly Spiders!
In keeping with the spirit of Halloween, I decided to write a post about Spiders! I wouldn’t go as far as to say I “like” spiders, although I wouldn’t say I “don’t” like spiders either (unless of course they are crawling on me or going to bite me, I certainly don’t like that!). I have a cousin (whom I now know is completely crazy – sorry RCT!) that had a picture taken with a tarantula on his face. Although he…
