Easy and Yummy Baked Potato Soup



I got this recipe from allrecipes.com. It has over 500 positive views. We had it for dinner the other night and it made a perfect amount for my family of three and we were able to make it with what we already had and it was sooo easy! We had it for dinner and then lunch the next day and it used it up, so its great if you don't want a lot of leftovers! I strongly suggest this recipe, its definitely a comfort food!

Preserving and Managing Church Magazines

What happens to the church magazines that you receive every month after the month is over? Do they get stacked in the corner or just thrown away? Here's a few ideas on how to preserve and manage them.

A few years ago, I put these binders together. I kept anything that I thought was particularly useful or informative. One issue of the Ensign was all about Joseph Smith so I made sure to keep everything in that one. A lot of the articles I kept explained things out of the scriptures and ancient prophets.

A blog I found has many ideas on managing church magazines. My favorite idea is similar to mine but is more organized and she has found more specific uses for them. For instance:
this example is of a binder she put together of all the articles she kept that is about the pioneers and she uses it on Pioneer Day. She also has put one together on Easter and General Conference. Fabulous idea! Check out this great idea on her blog and other great ideas by going to:
