Here is my Oct. Calendar. I am just loving my new board and the fact that I can decorate it every month! I know that I am weird, but it is like my very own bulletin board. I can see my whole month at a glance and I love that it is a CUTE glance!
I wish that my calendar were really this empty, but that is only wishful thinking! :)
The message this month is: “Honoring Our Covenants” I chose to focus on the quote from Russell M. Nelson, I love his quote about when we realize who we are… I also like that visiting teaching is an expression of our discipleship and a way to honor our covenants as we serve and strengthen one another.

OK, here is my thought for this week: Do any of you ever feel this way? I’m sure not! But I thought that this would be a pretty cute thought for this week and perhaps that it would make you smile!

This month’s lesson is titled “Special Needs and Service Rendered” I love the message to all of us about how we need to serve others! President Monson is such a great example of this and we probably could all do a little better in this area…I know that at least I could do better! For this month’s handout I decided to use a fall theme with owls. I bought these owls at the Wood Connection and painted and decorated them, and they were my inspiration for this handout.
I have decided that perhaps I will start doing a fun thought every Thursday! (Hence the name Thursday’s Thoughts) I love to collect thoughts and quotes and I want to be able to share them with you. Just something that I am going to try for awhile. Let me know what you think!
So here is my first edition of Thursday’s Thoughts:
This quote is from J. Golden Kimball who is actually related to me in a sort of round about way… Heber C. Kimball is my great, great, great grandfather and J. Golden is his brother! So how is that for a long and lengthy genealogy lesson? Anyway, a lot of you have heard what a character J. Golden was and so I am proud to say that I am doing my best to carry on his legacy! :)
The message this month is “Taking Action in Time of Need” It tells us that as visiting teachers, one of our purposes is to help strengthen families and homes. The sisters we visit should be able to say, “If I have problems, I know my visiting teachers will help without waiting to be asked.”
So I decided that “Visiting Teachers Can be the Cherry on Top” would be the perfect thing to go along with this message, because we want our sisters to be able to say this about each of us!

This month the message is “Demonstrating Our Discipleship through Love and Service”. It tells how our service as visiting teachers closely resembles the ministry of our Savior when we show our love for those we visit.

Last weekend on the way to our cabin, my husband stopped at World Market to let me look around for awhile. I love that store! I saw a really cool Bingo Game and it was a vintage one with a cage wheel and everything. I debated about getting it for our 4th of July party, but in the end I decided just to make a game instead and use the money to buy prizes for the winners! I’m crazy I know. I really don’t know what got into me… but lucky for you, because now you can play bingo on the 4th of July with your family and friends too!
Here is a printable just in time for your patriotic decorating. This would be great for your mantle, kitchen, a table or shelf. I paired mine up with these stars that I made from the Wood Connection and a jar of bubble gum! So simple yet looks cute. I made my print into a canvas photo block, but it would look darling in an 8 x 10 frame. It would also be fun to spray paint the frame or glitter it up a bit, etc.

I thought that it would be fun to do a subway art picture for Father’s Day, but instead of just words I did “Dad Sayings.” I had a fun time remembering a few of the things that my husband used to say to the kids! This would make a fun gift or just put it up for a little summer decor. It would look great in a double frame with a picture of you and your dad!
