The hubby told me this story last night. It is so funny that I had to post it on here.
The Babe was supposed to be sleeping but he continued to get out of bed for one thing or another. The hubby was sick of it so he finally said,
"If you get out a bed one more time, I'm going to spank you."
The Babe looked at him and started laughing (in a cute non-smart-alecky way) and said, "Daddy, your spanks don't hurt at all."
The hubby's lost all his edge. He no longer has any leverage. I think it's funny because he only half-hardedly spanks him anyway. I could probably count on one hand how many time he has spanked him. But it's funny that the Babe thinks that way. LOL.

Food Storage
So lately I've been on this food storage kick. It's really stretching our budget too. It's hard to buy all your regular food and $100 in food storage. But all in all this has been a good thing.
At an Enrichment, this lady spoke about food storage and mentioned her website. I looked it up and I think it's super cool. She goes through the sales ads each week and tells you what is a bad deal, ok deal and great deal. Then you know what to buy at a good price that week.
She also has this super cool chart that you can download to help you know how much food storage to buy. It suggests buying real things that I would use like BBQ sauce and boxed cereal! And it tells you how much of each your buy (per person or per family of 4-6).
Here is her site: http://www.myfoodstoragedeals.com/index.cfm
Anyway so I'm a little obsessed but that's ok. It's good to be passionate about things right?! I made the hubby clean out our mud room and give me some space to store things in there. I organized to all into groups. Then I got lazy and haven't touched it since.
So here's my new goal. I'm going to cook every night for 28 days straight. They say that you form habits by doing something 28 days in a row. So if I cook for 28 days in a row then it will be a habit and we'll eat better. Right? We'll see how it goes. I'll post progress on here (if I have time).

Re-Committed
After taking a good solid year off blogging, I think I'm ready to start up again! A lot of ladies in my ward blog so that is motivating! Also, I find that I take more pictures of my kids when I am writing in a blog because I think about it.
Anyway, yesterday, I had the opportunity to interview Sister Ann Dibb for the Utah Baby Guide Magazine that I write for. Sister Dibb is a Counselor in the General Young Women's Presidency and more importantly she is President Monson's Daughter. I am writing an article giving tribute to Sister Frances Monson! Sister Monson was unavailable to do the interview so we interviewed her daughter! It was such a neat experience! I was so impressed by the sweet kind way she spoke about her mom. I would only hope my children would speak about me in that kind manner when I am super old. If you ask them about me right now, they would probably tell you I am mean and I never let them watch cartoons.
My sweet Sister-In-Law went with me to the interview. She has a degree in journalism. It was so nice to have her there with me. She made up for my shortcomings.
But it basically took all day so I am behind. I missed my Monday which is usually one of the biggest days of my week. Better get back to work.
