Friday Faves: School Musicals, Conference and Baseball
So I have been directing elementary school musicals for almost a decade now. Our cast averages 150 students from grades 3 to 6 and we somehow manage to include every student at the school in the creation of props and scenery. I love watching kids blossom as they try something new and participate in something bigger than themselves.
Rehearsals are in full swing and I have never been more excited or impressed by the talented kids involved. I love seeing the kids become their true selves as they become someone they never thought possible.
This week we loved watching General Conference! Isn’t it amazing how simple yet profound each message is. It’s like you walk away from the biggest pep talk of your life and you go forth to conquer life. I love exposing my children to truth and the spirit that exudes our home because of it, even if they don’t grasp the profoundness of the messages.
We also celebrated the final game in our son’s t-ball season. There is nothing better than to see your children do something that they love! My little slugger loves anything baseball. Sandlot is his favorite show and daily he asks to go to the sandlot/baseball fields next door to hit balls and run the bases.
His favorite part of the whole thing was the big group cheer and of coarse the medal for participating. Sometimes I wish we got more medals in life.
Here are some of this week’s favorite finds:
I have seen this so many times on Pinterest, I decided to give it a try! It tasted as good as it looks and best thing is that I didn’t even need to use the crockpot. I bought a roasted chicken from Costco and shredded it and then just threw everything into a pot. It was so good! Seriously looking forward to an event where I have to bring soup because this will be a WOW!

Does anyone else ever search for the ultimate chocolate chip cookie recipe? I swear they are either amazing or hard and ok. I have one go to recipe that is always just how I like them but am constantly looking for something to top it. This will be my next attempt.

Just saying mozzarella stuffed meatballs makes my mouth water. Then add it to a crockpot and you have the most delicious dinner around! Can’t wait to try this recipe for my carnivores.
