"A house does not have to be perfect to be a home of joy, a child does not have to behave perfectly to love and be loved, and every moment of life does not have to be perfect to be of value. Too often, I realize, we fail to see the glorious reality of the simple joy that abounds in the seemingly mundane routine of day-to-day living. Instead, we tend to idolize the past, idealize the future, and devalue the present.... What better way to show our appreciation to Heavenly Father for what we have than to embrace our lives, albeit 'ordinary' and 'unexciting,' with joy?"

Chloe's Bakery


We gave Chloe a donut maker for Christmas and she has been putting it to good use! Last night, she made about 40 mini donuts to sell at her third grade student market*.  They were glazed Funfetti (cake mix) donuts-- so yummy!! This is the recipe we used- although we decided not to frost them, they were already a total sugar rush! http://cookiesandcups.com/double-glazed-funfetti-donuts/



*All the third graders at her school earn "money" from their teachers for doing different things.  They have a school bank that they can make deposits and withdrawals from and on the last day of each month, they can bring in homemade items that they've made and sell them to other students, to earn more money.  They seem to have lots of fun shopping from their peers!  It is a good lesson in money management and business.
