The other day Jamie was in the kitchen and glanced out our back door and said there was a fox on our deck. By the time we got outside the fox was trying to find a break in the fence so it could get out, but sure enough, there was a beautiful fox visiting our backyard!
When I was a kid I thought the Graphic Novel section at the bookstore was for naughty books so I totally avoided that area. You know… graphic… ones. I’ve since learned that graphic novels are really just stories in comic book format.
I do a load of laundry every other day. My favorite laundry days are the ones where I manage to wash, dry, fold, and put away the whole load all in one day. They are my favorite because it means the next day I have no laundry to do at all!
Family size packaging always makes me laugh. We often need two family size just for a single meal. So when I saw this at SamsClub I was like finally a family size package that is sized for our giant family!
And one way you know we have a big family… we installed an automatic soap dispenser in our downstairs bathroom.
I made a simple rule for myself that ensures I always read my scriptures, every single day. I am not allowed to read any books until I have read a chapter/section in the scriptures. Since I quite enjoy reading books, this works great for me and I haven’t missed a day of reading in months. (I also have Read Scriptures as one of my daily to do’s and I really like crossing things off my list so that helps as well.)
For his birthday Adrian wanted to go see In the Heights. During it I realized Lin-Manuel Miranda is the John Green of musicals. Heart in a blender, man.
I got an email that said to complete a survey for a chance to win $1000 in free groceries. That sounded like a lot. Then I thought about it. A thousand dollars isn’t even an entire month’s worth of groceries in our house.
