The Nap Time Creations

I have been trying to find easy quiet books for church. We struggle to stay the entire time and I have found a couple coloring pages that might make it easier on us. First, I came across this gem and couldn't get off the internet for 2 hours.  I printed off shapes, alphabet and numbers. I will be printing off church coloring pictures and adding in pages from the Friend Magazine . I have also decided that now is the time to have Family Home Evening. I have made a FHE book. It has stories, pictures and games. I made it out of Friend magazines . ( Click here to see. ) But I couldn't help what the Family Home Evening Resource book was all about. What was in it? Was it easy to use? Was it so old, no one cared anymore? By looking at it, it is old, but old things are great, Right? I thumbed through it last night, and I am super excited to use it. I can't wait! Monday night is not getting here fast enough! Loaded with lessons, games, activities, treats, puzzles, songs, etc. FH...

This last weekend we had a blast going camping at Cherry Hills and Swimming at Cowabunga Bay! It was a great start to a fabulous summer! I am, however, grateful that we did a trial run of camping with Sadie. She slept horribly, was a little cranky and I learned that I need to pack more thoroughly! I have come up with a list of needed items to have for baby. Clothes Outfits Pj's Swimsuit and towel Blankets (3) Towel and washcloth Shampoo Lotion Formula Bottles Spoons Baby Food Pack and Play Sippy Cups Diapers Wipes toys bibs I also have some camping gear that not everyone has but I would recommend getting:  Formula Divider  Camping High Chair (total life saver). If you don't have a high chair a bumbo will work also! If you are looking for a list of what to pack your self as well than check out Happier Happenings blog ! Also for more Ideas check out my Pintrest Board: Check back on Monday for my quiet book ideas! ...

I like to read. I won't say love because it has to be a good book for me to really be into. I am going to recommend on reading "For Times of Trouble" by Jeffery R. Holland. It is amazing and it has helped me really see that life is full of problems but it is our attitude on our problems that make the difference.

Sorry I haven't posted things for a while, I have been helping my family move, and in the mean time found a great project to work on. My mom had some really old Friend Magazines. I took them and remembered the Idea I saw from Printrest. The magazines where taken apart and categorized for FHE. The link is here . I modified it to fit my needs, and to make it fit in one binder. First is the Fun Stuff  Then the Proclamation to the World  Articles of faith  Tabs to organize it The front of the stories Pioneer Stories New Testament Stories Christmas Easter The middle of the magazines there was board games that I glued to file folders I love my Laminator and When I saw the cards for the board games, had to laminate them!  Sites I got stuff from: lds.org  Scriptures Stories Articles Of Faith Just remember you don't have to reinvent FHE it is already easy and ready for you! Enjoy!
