Life Is A Juggling Act

-
You may have heard by now that schools are closed for the remainder of the school year.  And you're thinking to yourself, "Oh heaven, have mercy! Six more weeks with these kids at home 24/7..."

It's funny how life was so busy just two months ago. We had work, church, school, sports, errands, our social lives and everything else under the sun.  Life was a juggling act!  But then, everything just

stopped.




And we were kinda left
                                        W
                                            A
                                                I
                                                  T
                                                     I
                                                        N
                                                            G    for everything to go back to normal.

But it didn't.

So, we adjusted.  And we can continue to adjust as needed.

Whether you've enjoyed the last 3 weeks home schooling your own kids or not, here are a few words of wisdom to help you make it through another six weeks. 

The journey to educate our kids will ALWAYS be a juggling act but we'll get through it TOGETHER.

I'm sure once in awhile things will be thrown at us that we don't see coming.


You might fee like turning your back on everything you've done so far.


Don't give up.  Just take a break and BREATHE!


Eat a bowl (or carton) of ice cream.  It'll make you feel better.


Just because life gives you lemons...

Doesn't mean you can't make lemonade...or...a song about making lemonade.

Before you know it, you'll be teaching your kids things while standing on your head.

You might even have learned a thing or two yourself, and picked up a new hobby.

Most of all, just enjoy the ride and savor these moments.  We never know what tomorrow will bring.

Homemade Mayonnaise

  I grew up as a “salad dressing girl” but my hubby was definitely a “mayonnaise man”.  I didn’t realize how many awesome recipes can be made with mayo to increase the flavor, perfect the consistency or add that certain something  to make a dish sooooo good:  Chicken broccoli casserole, scalloped potatoes, fry sauce, cilantro-lime ranch dressing, chocolate cake, and the list goes on. Well today we just felt like having good old fashioned sub sammies after church—until we remembered we were out of Mayonnaise ☹️.  Our family tries not to “break the sabbath” by shopping or doing other things that would keep us from spending time with family or focusing on the Savior.  And though it may seem small and insignificant to grab something as simple as mayo from the store, we try to alleviate all the extra running around on the sabbath by taking care of such things on Saturday.  Anyway, here we were without Mayonnaise.  So we did what we usually do in such s...
