Deep-fried Kool-Aid

Sometimes, you can find the perfect reason to smile.
Today it was in the form of a culinary delicacy.
From California of all places.
I love it when all three of my universes collide.

What's all the excitement

Life is short.

Taylor Lautner

I don't know how anyone could ever choose skinny Edward over Werewolf Jacob.

Taylor is such a cutie and he always seems so down to earth.

I wish they would make this a real movie.
I think it has potential.
I loved the original Field of Dreams.

And I love me some Taylor Lautner. In a "I like to pretend I am still in high school when I dream" way.

Sesame Street Greats

I have been a loyal fan of Sesame Street,
almost since it's inception in 1969.

Sesame Street is 4 years older than me,
which means that I have never known a life without it.

Oh how glad I am.
And oh how happy it makes me that Caroline loves it too.
She's just like the rest of my girls.

How could anyone not love Sesame Street?

Book Review - All That Was Promised

All That Was Promised. by Vickie Hall 

3.5 stars out of 5.

I traveled to Wales last week. I also time-traveled back to the 1800's. It was the best of times and the worst of times. The Church of Jesus Christ was just being established, which means the church and all of its new members were also being severely persecuted.

This book is a piece of LDS fiction that will make any of its readers, wherever they may be or whatever they be, grateful for freedom of worship. How many times have you walked into your church without a second thought of mobs forming, or atrocities being calculated against you and your family? Yeah, me too. I have never once had to worry about physical injury. I'll take the intellectual prejudices any day, over the physical prejudices so many before me have endured.

School Lunches - Easy as Ants on a Log

This great post got me thinking about school lunches.

A young mom will be sending her first child to kindergarten and her mom suggested that they practice having school lunches at home so he would be prepared when on his own. If every kindergarten teacher could be as lucky to get her kid.
