Have leftovers from Sunday's dinner from the YW?

This recipe might be good if people have pulled pork, sauce, and lettuce leftover from the YW fundraiser. I took it from AllRecipes.com but have tweaked it for our family.

Coughing Lessons

Something else to post to the blog.  Thanks!

 

Rachel

Although this is a very funny video, the lesson they are trying to teach is real.  My co-worker's son's entire school was made to watch this and students are encouraged to start coughing that way.  Many of you may have noticed my brother sneeze this way at church and thought it was a little odd (I think it's kind of gross), but it appears that he's been pretty smart all along.  Click below to watch the video.

Real Families

Thanks Rachel T. for this info!

Real Families

“Although not an official Church program, KBYU has produced a series looking into Real Families and the real answers they found to the issues families face today.”  I’ve watched a handful of episodes and think it’s a solid, interesting program with some helpful tips.  Given that I have no husband and no kids, I can only imagine that it would be even more useful for the sisters who do!  More info at http://realfamiliesrealanswers.org/ or if you have BYU-TV, set your DVR to record “Real Families, Real Answers”.

Have a good week!

Great sale on Strawberries and Grapes!

At Superstition Ranch Market there is a sale going on right now on strawberries and green seedless grapes for 3 lbs for $1.

Diane Ethington is going to make a run over there tomorrow (Tues.) and would like to know if anyone wants her to pick some up for them.  This is a great deal and you can get a lot and freeze them!  

So if you would like her to pick some up for you, please comment and leave how many pounds of which fruit, or email Emily Bardin at bardinaz@gmail.com, or you can call Diane and let her know.  Please call, leave comments or emails by 3 pm tomorrow (4/21) please.  Thank you!

Bounce-U deal (thanks Diane!)

I have a deal to pass on.  If people go to this website, they can purchase a "Bounce U" $50 certificate for $25.  Bounce U has "Open Bounce"  sessions where the whole family can go (parents are free) for $5-$8 per child.  The only catch is that you have to use the entire certificate at once.   I hope that makes sense.  Here's that link, it should take you right to the Bounce U deal.  If it doesn't, it will have a link on the left-hand side of the page that will take you to the deal.
