RECIPE: Family Favorite Pancakes

I typed up my favorite pancake recipe to share with you! It is even on a cute little background if you want to print it! Let me know if you try it and what you think of it! 

For my family, I usually double the recipe and if we have extras, we cook them up then refrigerate or freeze the cooked pancakes for quick and easy breakfasts on a later date

Help is always there

I am not sure there are man feelings that are greater than the feeling of being able to make a difference in the lives of others! We all need that sense of being wanted, needed, useful, important, etc.

I also live knowing that I can not accomplish all I want to accomplish on my own. We NEED one another. We NEED support and friendship to thrive in life!

In my scripture study today, I ironically came upon this very topic that I had already begun writing here.

The scripture I read states, "ASK, AND IT SHALL BE GIVEN UNTO YOU; SEEK, AND YE SHALL FIND; KNOCK, AND IT SHALL BE OPENED UNTO YOU." ~Matthew 7:7

Ask. If you need help, ASK. This simple act of asking not only eases your burdens, but it also gives someone else the opportunity to serve you and to feel needed and important. With all the millions of generous people in the world, I am sure that there are many people out there willing to help those in need. Not all people, but many.

All we need to do is ask. And when all else fails, PRAY. There is a Heavenly Father that listens and is ready to pour down blessings if we just ask, seek, and knock.

Change is good

New Year.... Everyone is so eager to make a change! I LOVE it!
We take this time to recognize what we need to change, and we COMMIT! I know, some commitments last longer than others, but what matters most is that we see ourselves a little differently. We open our eyes to possibilities of what we may be capable of. We decide that we can change direction and make different choices.

There are MANY things I wish to change about myself, my habits, my time management skills.... and more. And yes, like most, I am taking advantage of this new year and making commitments to better myself, improve health, learn and practice new skills and become a better mom, wife, and friend!

What better way to hold me accountable than to join a point-tracking challenge where I get points for daily life-changing habits? Points are awarded for workout, water intake, following a meal plan, eating at least 5 servings of fruits and veggies, personal development/scripture study, checking in with the group, getting enough sleep, keeping that sweet tooth under control, and a few other things! It is GREAT!!!

Have you ever done a challenge like this?
