Daily Thought: Personality Development in Children

Hey Everyone. Here's some great stuff about parenting. Hope you enjoy!

"Children are not just little adults. They go through typical characteristics of growth—intellectually, emotionally, and socially—on their way to becoming adults. When parents realize these things, there is less strain on both parents and children."

"Athough Satan cannot tempt little children directly, their innocence and trust make them very open to suggestions and to the influences of others. They look to their parents, older brothers and sisters, and other children and adults for examples and models of behavior to follow. For these reasons, childhood is a crucial time for laying the proper foundation."

"Parents need to be constantly alert to the influences around their children and work hard to teach them the gospel. Parents often unknowingly lead children astray through uncaring, unthinking, and inconsistent behavior."

Cake Decorating Ideas: Fourth of July


































I hope you all like these great 4th of July cake ideas. They can be difficult, but are worth it when your friends and family gather to celebrate and admire your work! Have a happy holiday!




Daily Thought: The Act of Charity


1 Corinthians Chapter 13 verses 1 through 8
Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not acharity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
2 And though I have the gift of aprophecy, and understand all bmysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.
3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the apoor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.
4 aCharity bsuffereth long, and is ckind; charity denvieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
5 Doth not behave itself aunseemly, seeketh not her bown, is not easily cprovoked, thinketh no evil;
6 Rejoiceth not in ainiquity, but rejoiceth in the btruth;
7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
8 Charity never afaileth

It is difficult to be kind at times when we are rushing though this world of activities.
People get in our way we feel as we are just trying to do our best. We would be better, we say, if it weren't for so and so, or such and such. Brothers and sisters may we be more patient with each other and really exhibit charity to those around us. May we spread feelings of love and good cheer as we are kind to one another. May we exemplify the example of Jesus Christ as we choose to love more quickly and more strongly than we choose to hate.

Home Decorating Ideas: WOW...Kids Rooms

Wow, I'm not sure if this is what parents are in for when it comes to decorating, but these are certainly amazing, and very expensive, ideas. Personally I would have a fit if my little one played in this room for a couple days then expected everything changed because they were bored. Even if we wouldn't do this type of overblown decorating though, it's sure fun to look at!





























Great Recipe: Cheddar Bay Biscuits

Ok everyone, if you have ever been to Red Lobster and loved their cheddar bay biscuits, I've finally found a recipe that's about as close as you can get to the real thing! These are awesome, but best warm of course, and go great with soup or casserole. Really any rainy day warm fuzzy meal. Some of the ingredients seemed strange at first, and I substituted honey mustard for dijon mustard, but when they were done I absolutely loved them, and so did my family. Enjoy!
