An ugly attack on Mormons – Los Angeles Times
An ugly attack on Mormons – Los Angeles Times
I thought I’d try out this quick post feature I’ve never used before. This is great! The article says what I have been thinking all this time, so thought I’d put it out there.

I Am Thankful For My Keychain Hooks
Having run several errands today, I was reminded again how much I love these keychain hook thingies. To fully appreciate how much these things have changed my daily routine you need to know that my keys were always lost before I started using them. I would come in the house and set them down with the grocery bags, or on a table, or counter, who knows where. Then when I needed to use them again I had to retrace my steps from the last time I went out. One year Rob even got me one of those keychains that beeps when you press a button on a remote because I was losing them so often.
When I was out shopping I would usually just throw them in the diaper bag, only to be standing next to my car with a cart full of groceries, cranky kids, or my patient husband (he was just pretending though, I know he was thinking, “Why can’t you keep track of those things?”) digging and taking out a dozen things before finding the keys at the bottom of the bag.
I tried one of these keychain things, and now before I walk into the house or into the store I attach the keys directly to the front zipper on my diaper bag or purse (I have one on both of the bags I use most). And now I can always find them and even unlock the van door while I’m still walking towards it. Wow: No scavenger hunts or digging. What a simple time saver and sanity saver it has turned out to be!

Rob just started a load of laundry without making any comment about it. No “where are all my pants?” or “Whoa, that’s a big pile of clothes!” He just went in, turned on the machine, put what he needs for the week in the washing machine, and whistled as he walked away. Yes, he really was whistling. I’m so lucky to have such an awesome guy.
Read MoreI Am Thankful For My Carpet Cleaner
About six months ago I told Rob what I wanted most was a steam cleaner. We went and picked one out and it has already paid for itself by far. Having a house that is completely carpeted, it has come in handy so many times mostly with potty related accidents. Today, I used it not only for a potty accident, but also for a sparkling juice accident. When I was getting something out of our food storage in the office, something tipped, there was a domino effect and several things came crashing down. One of them being a bottle of sparkling white grapejuice. It then started oozing and squirting white grape juice everywhere. This just about gave me a mental break down (only an emotional one this time) because our office floor was covered in clutter, so I left a trail of juice not only along the carpet, but on countless miscellaneous items as well. I am still in a bad mood over it, and am writing this against my will, because Rob says I have to write something and stick with my goal. So, there ya go. I’m thankful for our steam cleaner.
