Walking Into A Hug

The title of this book actually caught my eye.  It's a book (workbook) geared towards mothers and gives one tip a week to make your home more embracing.  I enjoyed the shortness of each chapter and the advice on each topic. Some of the suggestions I am using in my classroom.

 My favorite suggestion:  SMILE!

Description taken from Deseret Bookstore: 

In Walking into a Hug: 52 Weeks to a Home that's More Embracing, Janene includes one area a week for your family to improve in. Whether it be smiling more often, inviting the Spirit into your home through worthy music, or remembering to laugh, you can create a peaceful, happier home through focusing on these topics.  With the understanding of why these things are important, how to accomplish your goals, and journal pages to record your thoughts from the week, you can create a home where each member of your family feels as if he or she is walking into a hug every day.

Fall Break

Monday 11.12  Today I played with Ray, George, Anabelle, Stella, Claire, and Lucy.  FHE was about General Conference.  My "favorite" talk was President Monson's about service.

Tuesday 11.13  Today I went to the dentist.

Wednesday 11.14  Mom and I had lunch at Tia Rosa's and went shoe shopping at DSW.  I also bought this awesome sign.

Thursday 11.15  I went to the temple and thought everyone was on vacation. It was packed the entire time I was there!  Mom and I went to Momentum Salon and had a pedicure and massage.  Very relaxing!

Friday 11.16  Walked the dog, went to the gym, cleaned my room, etc.
