July flew by which is good because August is my birthday month!!!!
Here is a list of all my favorite things (and links) from the past month
T.V Show: Grantchester - I have my Mum to blame for this one. While I was visiting her for the past couple of weeks, she introduced me to this show and now I am hooked! We ended up watching all three seasons in about a week maybe two. We couldn't stop! It was so addicting!! But hey when the temperate outside is over one hundred degrees what else is there to do? You literally have only one choice which is to plop down on the couch and watch TV while the fans blows directly on you. Anyways, getting back to the show, it is so good. Sidney Chambers is a vicar in the village of Grantchester, and helps his detective friend, Geordie Keating solve murders. This show also dives into their personal lives, and love, marriage, and the choices we make. You can watch it on pbs.org or on amazon instant video. If you like a little drama mixed in with your murder mystery, then you won't be disappointed.
Music: I have been a fan of Celtic Thunder since the beginning. I went to the very first tour they did in the United States. It was amazing. Neil Byrne and Ryan Kelly, were and still are, members of Celtic Thunder, but tour the United States as a duo. There album Echoes has been playing on my phone over and over. I love listening to it in the car, and now my girls will sing along. It is seriously the best. Their voices are so unique and blend so well together. Bonus you can really hear their Irish accents coming through the music, and it is beautiful. I wish they would do a concert here in Utah. I think a lot of people would love this music. I listen to this album on spotify I also follow them on facebook which is where they give updates about upcoming tour dates and album releases.
YouTube Video/Podcast - I just recently watched another gospel solutions for Mormon families on their YouTube channel and loved it. This one was called How to Teach Your Kids that Scripture Power is Real. There were great insights and ideas about how to teach your kids about the power that comes from reading from the scriptures. I also loved the stories that were shared. I have lots of idea about fun ways to read the scriptures with my kids. They also mention that it isn't easy with little kids but just to do your best and the blessings will still come. With time, and lots of patience family scripture will be a positive light in our day.
Random - is anyone else addicted to Malteasers? When I go to my Mum's house I eat a ton of them! They sell them in this giant bucket at Costco, but for whatever reason, they don't sell them at my local Costco (which is probably a good thing.) I could, if I wanted to, eat that whole bucket in one sitting. They are seriously so freaking delicious! If you find them at your Costco stock up cause you will be mad you didn't get two.
