The September Visiting Teaching Message Is Here!

This month's message is
AMAZING!
We all have our
"TO DO LISTS"
in fact, most of our lists never seem to end...
BUT are the things on OUR LISTS the things
that are really going to bring us closer
to the SPIRIT and OUR FAMILIES?
If we want to grow closer as families we can't lose focus!
If we fill our lists to quickly with things that have no value,
we lose the opportunity to work on the things
that matter most....
We have to keep an ETERNAL PERSPECTIVE
when we are making our lists,
by doing so we will allow the Spirit to work in
our HOMES and in our HEARTS!
Elder M. Russell Ballard asked this question:
"What can we do to better prepare our children spiritually
for their eternal roles?"
"Perhaps the most inclusive answer is:
Teach them how to live the principles of the gospel."
This teaching comes through...
Daily Prayer
Scripture Study
and Family Mealtimes
as well as
Family Home Evening
and
Church Attendance.
"We prepare each day, right now, for eternal life.
If we are not preparing for eternal life,
we are preparing for something less,
perhaps something far less."
..........
Here's This Month's Message:
I've included a:
Spiritual To Do List
This would be fun to laminate so that
your sisters can use it daily with a dry erase marker.
This Apple Pie Recipe is DELISH!
I'm also including a Blank Check List
for your sisters to use along with their
Spiritual Checklist!
Here's the PDF:
Here's a Larger Version:
(I lost my glasses, so I printed a larger version for myself....
the other one was so small it gave me a headache when I tried to read it.)
I'm going to give my sisters a bag of apples
with this month's message.
Hope your sisters are all doing well!

Visiting Teaching Message for August!

Here it is.....
And it's not even the end of the month!
Woot...Woot!
It comes with a Watermelon Smoothie Recipe Card
and
The Visiting Teaching Message for August.
I found a small seedless watermelon to give with the message,
but you could also use:
Sour Watermelon Candies,
Green and Pink Jelly Beans,
or
Watermelon Licorice.
...YOU COULD EVEN...
Invite them over to whip up a Watermelon Smoothie
with you and your companion!

July Visiting Teaching Message

I know that July is about as close
to over as it can get,
but . . .
 THERE IS STILL TIME
 to do your Visiting Teaching
if you haven't yet!
Hopefully this will help!
Just print, cut and tie the cards together
with a piece of ribbon.
Attach a Wet Erase Marker to the ribbon
along with a mini loaf of wheat bread and you're
good to go!
If you don't have time to make the bread....
You can fill a cellophane bag with some wheat
WHICH I'M SURE YOU HAVE,
cause you're Prepared NOT Scared . . . . RIGHT?!?
Attach the cards to the bag of wheat
to put it all together.... and WAH-LAH, you've created
a BEAUTIFUL message for your sistas!

My Gospel Standards!

You've seen this one before,
although it has changed a little.
I've had several requests for 8 1/2 x 11 sized
My Gospel Standards Cards
(Marvelous idea BTW....Glad YOU ALL thought of it! 
This size should be alot easier for the primary kids to see.)
Here's the PDF:
Here's a link to the original post:
Hope your Sharing Time Presentations turn out
GREAT!

June, July and August Journal Pages are HERE!

HOLY COW!
I can't believe it's already a week into
June and I haven't added the journal pages!
I think that the health problems my missionary has had
are somewhat under control for a minute and so
hopefully things will get back to "NORMAL"
if there really is such a thing!
Here are the pages......Thanks for being so patient!
I had now idea what kind of blessings we would see
with a missionary out in the field.
So far......THERE HAS NOT BEEN A DULL MOMENT!

Print Friendly Recipe Pages!

The recipe pages I posted yesterday use a lot of colored ink....
Soooooo Sorry!
I'm posting the same recipes today but with a white center,

Hopefully that will help!

Here's the PDF:
The recipes will still have a color behind the white background.
Blue is for Cakes
Green is for Cookies
Orange is for Brownies
Yellow is for Non-Meat
Tan is for Chicken
Red is for Beef
Here's the Black and White Version:
Here's the PDF:
This one is SUPER print friendly!
I will be leaving the Jar Labels and Jar Lid Covers
Colored, but you can always print in black and white,
just go into settings and you can change it there.

The Relief Society Meeting Recipes Are Here!

Thanks to EVERYONE who helped
prepare the MIXES for Thursday's Taster Class.
The food was WONDERFUL!!!
Here are the recipes:
Crumb Cake Mix
Cowboy Cookies Mix
Friendship Brownie Mix
Old Fashioned Macaroni and Cheese Mix
Chicken and Rice Casserole Mix
Skillet Lasagna
Here's the PDF:
Mixes are a great way to USE the
FOOD YOU HAVE STORED.
They're great for camping, new mothers,
to use as meals for anyone who is sick, to take to
the sisters you visit teach, and they are a
PERFECT way to rotate your food storage!
They don't take up very much space either.
I'M LOVIN' THE MIXES!!!
The Drypack Cannery offers many of the ingredients
you will need for mixes at a very good price.
Jar Labels and Lid Labels
Are On The Way!
