Station 1: This station is set up showing pictures of President Hinckley as a boy. Also a short story could be read [Some Answers Are Loud, Some Answers Are Soft by Barbara Porter is a good choice], because President Hinckley loved to read as a boy. Continue reading Follow the Prophet Day
“Where’re we going, mommy?” my four year old foster son, Devon asked.
“We’re going to pick up your new foster brother, Aaron. He is going to be staying with us for a little while,” I turned to shout a little louder, “Kids, get your shoes on! Time to go.”

I first learned about the method of Once A Month Cooking while I was online one day. Intrigued, I went so far as to purchase a book on the subject, thinking that I could do some research before I actually tried it on my own.
I have to admit, what I read was pretty impressive. It seemed that the women who did OAMC were able to feed their family of eight on about $65 a month. “Wow,” I thought to myself, “wouldn’t that be great!” They also claimed to be Continue reading Cooking Day: The Real Story
