No One Alone- Visiting Teaching Thought

2011-10-30T15:44:00.001-07:00

I sat and sat, looked and looked, and could not come up with anything visually creative with this thought. It’s the words that are really important anyway right? Our stake is getting divided next Sunday, and that should be fun! If you have any requests for quotes or any word-art for that matter you can e-mail me at mobydog74@yahoo.com.

God Like Qualities

2011-10-01T18:34:00.001-07:00

I really enjoyed conference today. We are usually running from soccer game to soccer game on Saturday mornings, but while we were in Provo, UT for the BYU vs. USU football game (GO Aggies!!! We didn’t win, but fought valiantly!) one of our kiddos let my sister in law know she had a stomach bug all over her stairs. My sweet Mom threw the kids in bed, we didn’t get home until 12 AM. But right when I was heading to bed another sweet kiddo lost it in the hall and yakked all night long. ICK! Needless to say. I have been home all day listening to conference. It was a nice change from the hustle and bustle we usually do. We had gourmet Campbell's Chicken Noodle soup for dinner, while the hubs is at Priesthood meeting. I had a bowl of cereal and made this month’s visiting teaching quote. I feel on a role, maybe I’ll get more done this weekend, maybe ! Click on the image to download (.jpeg, .png, and .psp).

Thank for being a Whopper of a visiting teacher- thank you

2011-07-12T18:05:00.000-07:00

I had a hard time with the wording on this one, but I think it turned out cute! I hot glued these to the side, but you could cut the paper smaller and hot glue it to the back. I bought these at the $$ store. Each $1 package had about 13-14 candy packages in it. Have fun!

M&M’s–Marvelous and Magnificent visiting teaching thank you

2011-07-05T17:09:00.000-07:00

This was the most expensive treat $8 for a 50 count mini’s. I’m sure if I was thirfty-er I would have picked these up after Halloween or Valentines or Easter. But being me I had to do it now, because I was in the mood to do it now, and who knows if the “mood” will come back! I hot glued these on each end of the wrapper. I wanted them to be secure, so I wouldn’t lose a note. I have to say this wasn’t the safest way to attach these babies. I have a few burnt fingers, maybe try a stapler?

I think this treat printable might be my favorite of the batch! I punched these out with my 1.5 inch circle punch, which made it quick work, and hot glued them to the back of the patties.

Here is my attempt at a non-food thank you. I just cut out the notes and hot glued them to the pens. I bought these at Wal-Mart- 10 pen package for a $1, but you could probably get a better deal when school supplies go on sale. Have fun!

Thanks A Mint! Visiting Teaching Thank You

2011-06-14T16:23:00.001-07:00

I decided to make at monthly treat for all the Relief Society sisters. I plan on giving them out on the 2nd or 3rd Sunday for a visiting teaching reminder/positive reinforcement. Hopefully it will help me too! I'm going to try and post a treat once a week.

This is what I passed out last Sunday (I made sure Primary and YW's got them too). Nothing too hard to make, but I do have a tip! Make sure to glue both sides of the seam on the back of the Andes mint or it will come unfolded. I used my glue gun for these and everything stayed stuck!

Visiting Teaching- Be Creative!

2011-05-02T22:28:00.000-07:00

Ahh, it's word-art time again! I remember a talk by someone in the General Relief Society Presidency talking about the creativity of her visiting teachers. She was very busy, traveling, and working with the church. Her visiting teachers wanted to serve her and she was willing. So, her visiting teachers would pick-up and take her dry cleaning, which she was always forgetting to do. Has anyone heard this story before? I would love to put a name to the story!

How are you creative in visiting teaching?

Sweet Andi Walker from Primarily LDS and Hot Pink Pansy put together this darling handout using my word-art. Didn't it turn out cute! Head out to her blogs to get the full handout or if you are looking for the word-art look below. Primarily LDS is a treasure trove filled with printables, lesson helps, and great ideas. Go check it out!

VT Thought

2011-03-06T15:04:00.000-08:00

I've been thinking a little about how it is easy to serve, but sometimes difficult to let or help others serve you. Here is my VT thought for this month. Hopefully I will be more on the ball this coming month. The poor RS newsletter lady had to e-mail me a reminder- on Saturday!

Six Be’s Blog Train and Add-on!

2011-02-28T22:26:00.001-08:00

I am in the mood for spring! I have been stalking online seed stores trying to plan my garden. I ordered some cool stuff from Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds. I think it was this kit’s theme and colors that have me wishing for warmer weather when there is snow still outside. I had soooo much fun making this kit!! I even made a little add-on. Fun colors and amazingly enough- bees can be so cute! Special thanks to Vintage Moth and The Graphics Fairy for the great vintage art!

Continue the blog hop!

You came from the super sweet and helpful Hot Pink Pansy (so you know, she also has a really fun new website Primarily LDS- check it out!) To continue on the blog hop go to Cocoroo Scraps! Have fun! Oh, and if you get lost, you can find your way back on the LDS blog home

VT quote- funny!

2011-02-21T15:42:00.000-08:00

I sorry I haven't posted a quote in a while!!! My January was INSANE! We had VT interviews with all the sisters in the ward. I had sign-ups, reminders, treats, and info updating for that. After interviews we do changes and that is well, not fun.

A lot of my stress was self induced stress. Do you ever do that to yourself? I had my heart set on the cute soul savers, but I COULD NOT find yummy Lifesavers anywhere! No wild cherry, no 5 colors, no yummy butter rum! I also thought I would find some knock-offs just at the dollar store- no luck! I did find mint Lifesavers, but they are much smaller than the sweet version and were more than I wanted to spend! By all miracles of miracles I found some Lifesavers sweet books on clearance at my local grocery store! They worked beautifully! But see- self induced stress! Lesson- find the treat BEFORE you make the printable!

I also was called to be an Activity day leader for the 8 year olds in our ward. My oldest is 8 and soooo excited and I have a very cool partner. I was also called to be the RS secretary, yup- still visiting teaching coordinator too. Somewhat crazy- but I sure it will all work out!!

My January did end on a high note... I went on my first cruise!! We did a short 3 day cruise over Superbowl weekend. Ahhh- I felt like a cute girl and not just a tired mommy!

Anyway, when I saw this quote it fit the bill!!

SoulSavers- Visiting Teaching Interview Treat

2011-01-10T12:47:00.000-08:00

I like to have a treat and thought for everyone when they come for visiting teaching interviews. I thought Rachel Bruner's idea of "SoulSavers" would be really cute. Last year people took the candy, but not the thought, and I worked hard on the thought!!!! So this year you can't take one without the other!!

I used Jody Prouse's template for the "SoulSavers". She made them to print off on an Avery 3 1/3" x 4" landscape label. I just ordered the labels from Amazon ($6 for 150 and not having to deal with glue sticks- priceless!).

The quote is from Julie Beck.

You should be able to print this by clicking on the picture, but here is the .pdf download too.

Visiting Teaching Interviews and word art

2011-01-09T16:44:00.000-08:00

In January our ward has visiting teaching interviews. The Relief Society President has me put the following questions on a 4x6 card with each sister's companionship and who visits them on it.

What questions do you ask?

What are some things you have success with during visiting teaching interviews?

Here is my word art for January. It's just a quick one! The holidays were so fun, but our whole house had the flu the week after Christmas. WOW, I'm glad DH had work off! I will ALWAYS get a flu shot from now on!

Have a good January, and let me know about visiting teaching interviews!

:) Michelle

Thoughts on Visiting Teaching

2010-07-21T14:38:00.000-07:00

I am the Visiting Teaching Cordinator in my church ward. So, part of my duty is to have a message or thought in the monthly newsletter. I aspire to be an awesome digital person someday, so this is my fun way to work on that! Here are the thoughts I've done so far. I'll post one every month I'm in this calling!

My Swiffer Solution

2010-07-21T12:25:00.000-07:00

First of all- thank goodness blogger has gotten it's act together! My pictures have returned!

And now for my Swiffer wet jet, I love it, but the refills make me crazy!!! I have been refilling the bottle with pine sol for a while now, which works great. (If you haven't done this yet, here ya go! Take a serrated knife and cut around the top of the refill bottle between the smooth band and the bumpy part. Then fill with whatever you would clean a floor with.)

Well today I FINALLY found the solution for the pads!!! Now it is no way as cheap as cutting off the lid was, but it works for me. I found out the microfiber pads to the Shark steamer have Velcro that fits perfectly with my wetjet! A pack of 2 cost $20 at Target, kind-of pricey, but with a box of refills costing $10- reasonable.

Have fun!

Noisy Pancakes-

2010-07-21T12:12:00.000-07:00

Here is my favorite pancake recipe! Sometimes I add some rolled oats to the mix. My kids love it! And if you are nervous about the whole wheatness (haha) of it all, make it the night before and the wheat will soften even more.

Noisy Pancakes or Blender Wheat Pancakes

1 cup milk (1/3 cup dry milk and 1 cup water)
1 cup uncooked whole wheat
2 eggs
2 T oil
2 t baking powder
2 T honey or sugar
1/2 salt

Put milk and wheat in the blender. Blend on the highest speed for 4-5 minutes or until batter is smooth. Add the rest and blend on low. Cook on hot griddle.
The batter may be thin- don't worry it will cook up just fine!
