3×4 Cards… Perfect for Gift Giving

I feel blessed to be Mom to my five daughters. I have spent many years being involved in YW and loving the girls of all ages and enjoying every moment of it. I also understand our kids (all of us really) are fighting tough battles and I think it helps to surround ourselves with messages of goodness whenever possible.

That is why I love these handy little 3×4 cards that can be attached to a card or a sweet treat to let them know you are thinking of them or they were missed from an activity. The cool thing is each design can be printed in 3×4, 4×6, 5×7, 8×10, 8.5×11, 11×14 too, making them perfect for framing and gift giving to help remind them of our Heavenly Father’s love for each of us. You can find the downloads in the Sugardoodle shop here.

Enjoy your day! Brenda

Spring Recipes: Lemon Desserts

Hi Friends,

I have a deep love / hate relationship with spring. I love that it is starting to get warmer. I hate spring time allergies. I love all the pretty “popcorn” trees. I hate allergies. I love cleaning up the yard and prepping the garden for planting. I hate allergies.

As you can tell, I have been fairly miserable this year with allergies. And when I am not feeling so hot, I find sweet solace in a good dessert. Oddly enough, I am not much of a chocolate lover (I’m not alone in this, right?). Slap anything lemon in front of me, though, and I will break into a giddy happy dance. I love spring time because of all the yummy lemon recipes that start to get posted. Here are a few I’m hoping to to dive my face into.

Beautiful, shareable conference memes on LDS.org

Our family enjoyed a fabulously-relaxing conference weekend…complete with cinnamon rolls, pj’s and an epic King Benjamin blanket fort. Of course with all that baking, lounging and fort making it was a little tricky to take great notes on my favorite talks. Luckily LDS.org has saved me again. On the site today you can find 25 beautiful, shareable memes that cover some of my favorite thoughts from conference…like this one from President Eyring.

Or this one from Cheryl A. Esplin.

Or this beautiful thought from our prophet, Thomas S. Monson

All of the images are available in English and Spanish and can be downloaded in a variety of sizes. Share them on you facebook wall, set them as the wallpaper on your computer, or simply print them and table them to your bathroom mirror. They’re the perfect way to keep the words of conference close to our minds and hearts. Just click here to view all 25 memes.
