The Food Nanny

I went to this party last night and Liz Edmunds is just darling! I don't think I've met anyone more excited about life & what they are doing for their career. She is called the food nanny and had some great ideas. She themes her dinners:

MONDAY: COMFORT FOOD
TUESDAY: ITALIAN NIGHT
WEDNESDAY: FISH & MEATLESS
THURSDAY: MEXICAN NIGHT
FRIDAY: PIZZA NIGHT
SATURDAY: GRILL NIGHT
SUNDAY: FAMILY TRADITIONS

In her book she has recipes to go along with the themes. Her whole idea is to cook for your family every night (which saves money) and to make sure that you are eating dinner as a family every night! I really loved her ideas & wanted to share them with you. Here is her website if you are interested in checking out what she does.

Oh & one more thing. Next Fall BYU will be doing a show with her where she goes into people's home's and rescues them from dinner. She will be showing them how to cook. Should be a fun show because she really is a fun, energetic lady!

Evening of Excellence 11-11-08

This years Evening of Excellence was themed, "Daughter of a King." It is my very favorite book. If you haven't read it you should! Jayden by the beautiful decorations. The leaders that decorated did such a beautiful job!

All the girls put things on a table that showed who they were & what they like. (There were like 3 or more Twilight books on the table :0)

Jayden & Daddy

Jayden has the neatest Young Women leaders! What a blessing to have these sweet ladies helping me teach Jayden the Gospel!
