Family time

 You know when you have good kids when they are adults and teenagers and want you to hang out with them.  I had a great evening going to Game Stop, Ross, and Target with all 3 of my kids.  I love them.

 We have been switiching our flour to Kamut flour.  Our family loves the taste of it, and i think it is so much better for you.  I made these cookies today.  

Peanut butter cookies. These are a favorite recipe of ours. It was easy to just replace the white flour with Kamut. I doubled the recipe so instead of 3 cups of all purpose flour we used 2 1/4 cups of white Kamut flour. So delicious. We shared with friends at church. #peanutbuttercookies#eatdessertfirst #cookies #kamut #foodnanny  #homemade #mysweetlife #myhomesweethome\

 Wow.  It's been 8 years since I have posted anything on my blog.  A lot has happened.  We moved 8 years ago this August.  A lot has changed. I haven't been on here for years.  It has been so fun reading through this.

I usually just post on IG.  My IG account. @Making_my_happy_life.  Here is today's post:

I went and made a ministering visit tonight so I didn’t eat with the family. I loved the sweet and sour chicken and had a tiny bit but with making cookies today I needed to keep my dinner light (you can’t make cookies and not eat them). So this is dinner and it’s pretty good. If you know me you know I love tortillas but they can be high in points. So Joseph Lavish bread has become a staple. One whole is just 2 points. Then cooking an egg and butternut squash, both zero points. I spray with zero point Parkey butter spray. Don’t forget my favorite Kinders “The Blend!” 

A late night snack too.  Edamame w/flaked salt.  zero points. 

This is a 2 point meal and it’s pretty good. Btw, I have lost 34 lbs so far. Pretty good for someone who is turning 55 years old in 2 months.

Thought of the Day

I am friends with a gal on FB who posted about some famous Christian lady that she basically thinks is a "wolf in sheeps clothing."  I guess other people feel the same way.  Well apparently other people are bashing this gal for saying how she feels.  I don't know this lady, but I just wanted to share some short thoughts on being a Christian.  I also commented this same thing on her post.  Not sure how she feels about my thoughts, as I am a Latter-day Saint (LDS a.k.a Mormon).

• We all interpret scripture differently but we are all followers of Jesus Christ. My definition of a Christian is being a disciple of Jesus Christ. If we claim to be His disciple we should have Christlike love towards everyone even despite differences we all have the same end goal in mind. In my church we have a song that the children learn when they are young. The song is my favorite song and I try to keep it in my heart.
  
  The first verse goes,
  
  "I'm trying to be like Jesus;
  I'm following in his ways.
  I'm trying to love as he did, in all that I do and say...
  
  Chorus
  "Love one another as Jesus loves you.
  Try to show kindness in all that you do.
  Be gentle and loving in deed and in thought,
  For these are the things Jesus taught."

Anyway, just my thoughts.
