love those moments where life feels blessed. Sam's club has such fun books. I think itis the best place for a birthday present.
and jen, i can't really sew. I promise that if you saw my little houses up close you would understand the limits of my abilities. I used a lot of hot glue and only one really stands up straight. But thanks for the compliment
I didn't think of it yesterday, but is chlorine water good for frogs? Just wondering...
I googled "Book of Mormon reading chart", looked through the images and found your blog.
I just wanted to say THANK YOU for the chore chart idea! Fantastic.
I also skimmed a few pages and saw your quest to easily peel a hard boiled egg. It has nothing to do with how you cook them, but how old the egg is. Older eggs peel easier. The fresher the egg, the more the shell sticks.
NOTE-- we FOUND the frog in the pool. really, we were rescuing him!
ps. THANKS for the tips Reenie!!
I really am a hard boiled egg reject.
