It's gonna be a great winter!!!

I drove through McDonald's drive through the other day and guess what I saw!!!

McDonald's has hot chocolate again!!! I was so sad the last two winters that they took it off their menu...it's back!

I am so excited for a cold morning and a yummy cup of McDonald's hot choc.They have the best hot cocoa ever-if you don't believe me just try some!

Extra job ideas!

I was talking to a friend of mine and she was needing extra money to make ends meet in these kind of hard times. We brainstormed a bunch of ideas and I just thought if any of my four readers was looking for ways to make extra cash for making ends meet or Christmas or whatever-that I would share!

Yard sale
Sale of old furniture
sale your old gold
teach a lessons of something you know how to do...piano, sewing, budgeting, computer skills(how to make a blog lessons!), voice, knitting, cooking, cake decorating, and on and on. Whatever you are good at someone else would prob. love to learn-just advertise it that you are teaching it for X amount of dollars!
Babysit
Sale Bread or homemade food items(cookies)
clean houses
make little girl dresses or tutus and sale them on eBay or start a selling blog
make jewelry and sale it the same way (my customer's mom started this one)
make hair bows and sale them (craft fairs are getting ready to be every week-end) or online
refinish furniture or paint canvas art
Be a DJ for a wedding or reunion (this might be costly to start)
design blogs
teach a language
run errands for people who can't (older people or busy people)
haul off people's trash
pet sit
Are you a genealogy buff? People love to know their family histories, but don’t have time to do the research. You can offer your services as a “family researcher” and help clients learn about their roots, learn about your own in the process, and generate extra income.
paint (ugh)

What else-share your ideas with us!!!

The gift of time!

More gratitude for my sweet friends and family!!!

Thank you Ms.Katie for dinner, Grandma for taking 2 of my kids to visit their cousins in NC, Aunt Chrys for feeding and caring for my 2 kids while they are there, Heather for watching my other 2 kids while I was at school today, Mckenzie for doing my paper work taxes for magical memories, Mom for helping me write all the papers due this week for mid-term week, Blake and Andrew for cleaning house, Lisa for ordering magical memories, all the other things and prayers that have gone unspoken that I am forgetting to write about, and the bomb threat at school today so I could get out early. It is amazing how much I needed my community this week and didn't even know it. I feel so overwhelmed with love-I can't explain it. Because of you all this I was able to take 5 mid-terms test and turn in 3 research papers! Thank you Thank you Thank you. Thank you for being in tune with me and when I told the Lord I needed help you came my way. I knew by Tuesday night when I got home and Katie had snuck over here and hid dinner in my fridge I was receiving some major tender mercies this week.
When I was 14 I received a patriarchal blessing...In my blessing it states that I would get my education from a university where I would grow in knowledge and receive spiritual education at the same time. When I was younger I thought that meant BYU(ricks then) I just assumed because I had to take religious classes there -hence the spiritual growth. Not even the case I have had to rely so much on the Lord in the past 2 months than I ever had to in my entire life. I can't even explain it fully. I wish I was a beautiful writer and could explain the whisperings of the spirit that have guided me and helped direct me-but that's the best way I know how to explain it! Thank you again for helping me so much!

I am so thankful for good friends! I have been so blessed by so many good friends. It is amazing how the Lord puts people in my path right when I need them.
