The Spencer Sphere: Week 17 Color Mixing
http://spencersphere.blogspot.com/2014/03/week-17-color-mixing.html
Wednesday, March 12, 2014. Week 17 Color Mixing. I think our lesson on color mixing should have come before rainbows. Maybe. This week we splurged a little and bought some white carnations. I asked the florist at Albertsons is they had a bundle I could buy. She found one in the back. I was afraid the carnations weren't that pretty when we bought them, but they bloomed nicely when we put them in the water. We worked on dying the carnations and learned a couple things. We used washed cans and melted the cr...

The Spencer Sphere: November 2011
http://spencersphere.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 30, 2011. Cleaning for the Holidays. Josie loves water play, but the cold weather makes it impossible. So, I see mopping as a chance for Josie to get some water play. I wouldn't normally write about it, but this time was more exciting than the last. What surprised me was Josie's reaction. Toddler and mom switched roles. Yeah, I just hurt my knees. Ouch! Oh Kiss them." And Josie kissed both my knees to make me feel better. The words above are white vinyl, the picture is just low quality.

The Spencer Sphere: March 2014
http://spencersphere.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 31, 2014. Quiet Book with a Prayer Theme. And after all my preparation I still made 4 trips to the craft store. All told it has taken me two weeks worth of nap times to make and roughly $40 (not including the price of things I already owned, like most of the felt). I hope the investment pays off in the end! The cover is simple. It ended up being larger than necessary, but I like it that way. I still have intentions of adding handles. 1 Joseph Smith prayed in a grove. 4 Time to pray. A clock...

The Spencer Sphere: Who Pays for Which Wedding Expenses
http://spencersphere.blogspot.com/2014/03/who-pays-for-which-wedding-expenses.html
Wednesday, March 12, 2014. Who Pays for Which Wedding Expenses. Who Pays for Which Wedding Expenses. With a temple wedding, many expenses can be passed over. Like alcohol at the reception or a venue. I would always recommend a temple wedding, even if it means no trip to San Diego. Traditionally these expenses get split a little differently than this list, however given our family's financial situation here's how the expenses were split when I got married. Invitations sent to her people. December 3, 2014 ...

Wednesday, February 5, 2014. The Turkey with the Terrible Temper. This week we included Grandma in our preschool, we called it Grandma School. She shared with my daughter a wonderful story about a turkey that can't control his temper. Each time he loses his temper his feathers change colors. She scanned it for me and I typed it up. It's on Google docs, you can only find the story through this link - The Turkey with the Terrible Temper. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). We are a family of 5 and growing.

The Spencer Sphere: 10 Reasons Not to Postpone Motherhood after College
http://spencersphere.blogspot.com/2014/02/10-reasons-not-to-postpone-motherhood.html
Tuesday, February 11, 2014. 10 Reasons Not to Postpone Motherhood after College. 1 Cute things come in small packages. Here's a shallow reason: baby clothes are so CUTE! My little baby boy wears a shirt that says "Mr. Handsome" and I melt all day long. He sure is handsome. Or I dress him for church in his button down collared shirt and I think of the future when he'll be a man, and my heart melts a little. 2 You can do hard things. 3 Your baby is a mini-you and that bonds them to you in a heartbeat.

The Spencer Sphere: December 2011
http://spencersphere.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Friday, December 23, 2011. Sorry that I haven't updated my blog because I've been so busy getting everything ready for Christmas. I thought I'd post a picture of one Christmas project. I'm making Josephine a quilt for her toddler bed. Here it is. We've themed her room with butterflies. I just need to quilt it and it'll be all ready for Christmas morning - but I'm not sure when I'll have time to do that. Hmm. Friday, December 16, 2011. As long as I can hold you in my arms, you'll be my little baby. I hate...
