"Juggling for the Complete Klutz" -- 3 bags and a book

Here's where you can get 3 juggling bags and a book telling how to juggle!

I love these bags.  They're great.  They're MUCH easier than balls, because they don't bounce when you drop them.

Juggling is a GREAT activity for kids and families.

It builds strength in the arms, and it helps with eye-hand coordination.

I highly recommend getting some of these.

How NOT to Put an OIL FIRE Out

Here's a video by the SLOW Mo Guys on what NOT to do if you have an oil fire.

Show this video to your kids and tell them that if they have an oil fire, do NOT do this.

At the end of the video, they say to put a damp towel over the top of the pan, to put the fire out.

I also suggest calling 911 if it gets beyond your control.

The Words (Christina Perri)

I like the sound of this song, and I also like the message -- that even though it might be scary to enter into a relationship, and "give your heart" to someone, you can do it.

And when you do, and you really give the relationship some effort (and even when you don't), that you might be pleasantly surprised -- that BOTH of you are really looking for the same thing, and you can't have what you want unless you both try each day to communicate with and love each other.

As my husband once told me, when I asked him, "What do you want to do?"....  He said....

"Try again tomorrow.".

Keep trying again and again.

I'm Gonna Love You Through It (Martina McBride)

My sister was 38 years old, with 3 kids, when she found out she had cancer -- just like the words in this song.

Mama's Song (by Carrie Underwood)

I've been abiding by a strict "dress code" here on my blog, however, there are some really good songs out there.

I found the "Joey and Rory" video where Joey sings "When I'm Gone", and I posted it yesterday because I like the message.

I love this song, and the message -- that she finds someone who her Mom hoped she would find, and that he is GOOD, and treats her the way she should be treated.

So......... this week, you might notice that I'm bending the rules a little bit, in order to let the GOOD shine through.   : )

COUSINS (First Cousin, First Cousin Once Removed, etc...)

I always need to refer to a chart to figure out my relationship to someone!

Here's one I found via Google Images.  I find it easy to understand:

Joey and Rory

Here's a link to the Wikipedia page about Joey (the wife) and Rory (the husband).  They performed together, mainly with her singing and him playing the guitar.

Wikipedia Link 

She got cancer in 2014.  Right now, they are "just making her comfortable" as her days will soon come to an end, here on Earth.

First, I'll post a song, sung by Joey.  It's called, "When I'm Gone".

Here's Mommy and daughter (Joey and her daughter, Indiana), before Joey's first chemotherapy treatment:

Coming Home

I like this song.

It's by Shawna Edwards.

Enjoy.

Coming Home

Savior, Redeemer of My Soul

Today at Church, I accompanied a guy who sang this song, and one of the ladies in our Ward accompanied him on her violin while he sang.

I went looking for the song on YouTube and found this version, sung by this lady, Sharon Hopkins.

I like her voice.

Enjoy!

RELAX!  Keep a Sense of HUMOR!

In a family -- In life in general! -- we need to RELAX and keep a sense of humor!

Stuff happens.

Things go amiss.

Some days are jam-packed with things to do, all the way up until midnight.  Other days, we're able to go to bed by 9 p.m. or earlier.

Some days you feel GREAT!  Other days you don't.  You might feel like you want to run away to a place that doesn't require you to do anything!

So again -- relax and keep a sense of humor!

I have two videos for you.  Enjoy!

Brian McKnight & Sons

Hi!  I love Brian McKnight's voice.

This is him singing "The Star Spangled Banner" with his 2 sons.   : )

I love hearing family members singing together.  I like watching how they interact.

Enjoy!

"MEET THE MORMONS" Full Movie on YouTube!  Yay!

Hey!  You can give this link to your friends!  It's to the full "Meet the Mormons" movie on YouTube!

This movie has also been shown at the visitors' center near the temple here.  I'm guessing that other visitors' centers show it too.

I think it's a good movie to watch with your family.

I love the song, "Glorious" at the end.

Enjoy!

I'm Trying to Be Like Jesus

I plan to sing this song with a little boy, who will be singing "the Holy Ghost's part".   : )

I got the inspiration to do it that way.  I'll sing all the way up to "....the still small voice, saying...", and then he'll sing, "Love one another as Jesus loves you....", etc..., and each time the Holy Ghost's part comes, he'll sing what the Holy Ghost would say.

I think it'll sound really good that way.  I'm thankful for the inspiration.

All of the music people in our Ward had been asked by the music organizer, to perform something during Sacrament meeting in the upcoming months.

I said I would, and I got one of the other Ward organists to agree to accompany me.

Then I puzzled and puzzled over what to sing.

I am a serious ALTO -- meaning -- I really don't sing anything above the G above Middle C very well, so I need something that is pretty low on the scale, but I wasn't finding anything.

Sure, we could transpose a song, but that actually takes a lot of time, which I didn't want to spend.

Then the other morning, I thought about doing this song.  Then I thought about having a kid standing next to me, holding my hand.  Then I thought about a kid singing the Holy Ghost's part, and then I thought of a BOY singing the Holy Ghost's part.   : )

Two Sundays ago, during the Primary's Sacrament program, this one boy sang a song.  He is the music organizer's son.

This past Sunday, I asked his mother if she thought he would want to sing with me -- the Holy Ghost's part of the song.  She said that since he loved singing in the Primary program, that he would surely be happy to sing with me.

However -- they might be moving, so we'll see what happens.

In the meantime, I'm going to start practice singing the song and send the link to her so that her son can practice too -- just in case he can sing with me.   : )

I don't have a day planned to sing it yet, but she said that the beginning of December would probably work. 

Enjoy the song.
