Learn how to make smoothies

Hi all –

I love to make fruit smoothies and just launched a new website with fruit smoothie recipes, and teaching how to make smoothies. Take a peek and share your favorite smoothie recipes.

Thanks!

Simply Mormon

I wanted to share this great blog about being an LDS / Mormon woman in life today. It’s a great place to start sharing thoughts about life and religion in our society. There are many anti-Mormon blogs and misunderstandings about being LDS — we are somehow thought of as being associated with the Amish or polygamist cults. It’s not accurate at all, and I think it’s nice to get correct information to the public about what we believe — as well as share our testimonies of Jesus Christ and his Atonement. I’m very happy to support this blogger in her efforts to share her thoughts and feelings – not just about being a Latter-day Saint – but about being a single mom, about coping and staying on top of things in a life that is filled with so many distractions. She also has a blog about simplifying and organizing which is fantastic.

Cutest Video Ever!

Okay — So this is the cutest thing ever.
If you want to have a big smile on your face — take a few minutes to watch Sabrina — a little 3 year old girl sing the Battle Hymn of the Republic.
Just a happy thought to share with you today!
Enjoy!

Getting Organized

I don’t know about you — but I’m overrun with information — paper, mail, newsletters, emails, online news, television news, etc. How do we keep track of the important things, get rid of the non-important things and find stuff later on when we need it?

I just read a great article (or series of articles) about getting organized. Thought you might enjoy reading it as well…
