The Magic Star
Sacrament Meeting can be so frustrating…trying to get 4 kids to hold still and be quiet for an hour+ sometimes seems impossible. So, I discovered this amazing new trick from a super-smart mom in our ward. It is a magic star. We draw a star (or cut one out if we are on the ball) and everyone gets to pick where they would like to sit during sacrament. We place the star in their spot and if they can keep us from seeing their star for the whole meeting by staying seated on it, then they get a treat after church. This has been working miracles with our 3 year old. He gets so excited for his star every week. Why didn’t I think of that?
I’m so lucky!
I had a wonderful mothers day. I felt incredibly loved by my sweet family. German Apple Pancakes for breakfast, gifts with a scavenger hunt, and I didn’t have to cook. I just got to enjoy some of my favorite people. How did I get so lucky to have all these beautiful people in my life?
