Stitched it across, and diagonally...again, and again, and yes, again. It really didn't take long, just gave my arms a workout pushing it through the machine. … [Read more...]

We just bought one of these this morning. I am actually really excited to get our food storage all in order! We have some in our pantry, but let's be honest, it's a mess and I can't fit all the food we need in here. It's deceptively small.

Hello. This is Stan. He went to live with the Zinn family this past Sunday. Who are the Zinns, you say? Dixie Zinn was my Mia Maid instructor/advisor (?) for me when I was in Young Women. She was an awesome leader, and a wonderful friend to me. She listened to me, laughed with me, and is a great example of a mother and wife. I remember calling her … [Read more...]
