BACK TO SCHOOL BREAKFAST

BACK TO SCHOOL BREAKFAST

We had a great back to school breakfast.  Each year at this time, I feel like it is a new year.  Time to put the lazy days of summer away and a time to get back on track. A time to set goals for our family. A time to recommit to read scriptures. A time to be better.  Those goals might all fade away by October, but it still feels like a renewal.

We fed ourselves silly as we celebrated this time of year. 

We ate super yummy Lemon Ricotta Waffles with Heavenly Maglebys spyrup.  You could literally take a bath in it...it was sooooo good.

Nina VanWaggen turned us onto to this bomb shell and she uses real cream instead of buttermilk.  

Its always fun to find an excuse to decorate and this breakfast was no exception.  

I tried 2 new things I have never done before...shopping at DI and trying my hand at chalk art.   

The sisters dined at fun tables set with an eclectic array of school things...globes...paper ruler runners....old books stacked up....pencil cups....and quotes about learning. 

These pencil cups were used as decoration...but each boasted the name of one of the 6 sisters in the ward that are teachers.  We gave these gifts to them later since they were all at school teaching while we were feasting.  Thank you for teaching our children.

We also kicked off our Doctrine and Covenants class with our dear Brother Gibbons.  We are truly blessed to have him in our ward.  You leave each week with a renewed commitment to teach our children better, to read study and ponder the scriptures more earnestly.  It truly fills me up each week.  WE LOVE YOU BROTHER GIBBONS.

 We gave each sister a scripture marking pencil for the class with a scripture attached.  

...seek learning even by study and also by faith....D&C 88:118

 We reconnected with other sisters and neighbors and discovered a new waffle to love.

 I am even a little less creeped out by DI after finding all those great books and scoring this old mirror for $10. I busted the mirror out and made a chalkboard in my signature color.  Everything looks better in Tiffany Blue.

HAVE A GREAT BACK TO SCHOOL YEAR!
