I thought this had been posted already but apparently not. Well, better late than never! This last week Eric and I got to speak in our ward. Mostly I was excited to have a chance to really introduce our family to the ward since we’re still fairly new. Unfortunately last week was a pretty busy …
Our neighborhood has a recipe group that meets once a month to exchange recipes and visit. They come up with a theme and then anyone who wants to participate makes a dish that matches that theme and brings some to sample as well as the recipe. The theme this month was breakfast foods and I …
As the Christmas season rolled around last year I found myself trying to think of something that I could make or get for friends and family that would be both meaningful and relatively inexpensive. I decided I didn’t want to stress over making a treat as I lack culinary genius. As I thought through some …
I’m giving a presentation tonight in Relief Society about how we can use technology to enhance our studies of the scriptures. While preparing for this I came across a TON of awesome resources that I think could benefit anyone trying to get more out of their scripture study, or even just finding time to do …
With all the craziness of traveling and being sick this month I once again missed the chance to go see my visiting teachers. Oops. Luckily, the end of the month isn’t until tomorrow so I have one last shot to get in touch with my sisters before it’s July. So, since this coincides with a …

Unfortunately I wasn’t able to go visit one of the sisters I visit teach this month because she got strep 🙁 But I promised her that I would at least email her the lesson and some thoughts if I couldn’t get to visit her this month. I figured so long as I was doing it …
In Relief Society we were talking about the Creation on Sunday. I had a thought that I wanted to share. At the end of each day God surveys his works and declares them good. I think that’s a good pattern for how we should live our days. At the end of the day we should …
Some people come into your life for a little while and leave having changed it forever. Some people come and go without leaving much of a mark. Some people come and go, and reappear in the most unlikely places. You never know what kind of effect a person will have on your life. Such is …
I already posted my report on my resolutions from last year but I haven’t yet posted my new resolutions for 2010! I want to make these more quantifiable than last year’s goals because I felt so good about being able to check those ones off, and the more abstract goals just made me feel sad …
As 2009 is now over I think it’s time to see how I did on my New Year’s Resolutions this year. So here’s my reporting – Brittny’s Resolutions for 2009 I will learn to balance motherhood, being a wife and working. Definitely still an ongoing goal, but I do feel like I’m getting better at …
