RED BOX

I may be a step behind the times (and it wouldn't be the first time) but I discovered RED BOX this weekend at the entrance of my Walmart and Walgreens and it is amazing. Has changed my renting videos life. It is the coolest thing to be able to run in, swipe your card, select your movie and have it pop out at you all for ONLY $1.08!! There's nothing to it. And you get to keep the movie until 9pm the next day, which is just enough time to watch it and get it back before forgetting. I know these things are showing up everywhere - McDonalds, etc. So give it a try!And as a side note, we recommend Alvin and the Chipmunks!

Mom's Favorite Quotes

I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbors children. I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived." — Marjorie Pay Hinckley

"The biggest mistake I made [as a parent] is the one that most of us make....I did not live in the moment enough. This is particularly clear now that the moment is gone, captured only in photographs. There is one picture of [my three children] sitting in the grass on a quilt in the shadow of the swing set on a summer day, ages six, four, and one. And I wish I could remember what we ate, and what we talked about, and how they sounded, and how they looked when they slept that night. I wish I had not been in such a hurry to get on to the next thing: dinner, bath, book, bed. I wish I had treasured the doing a little more and the getting it done a little less."
