A Few Links & Things

So excited to open crafting spots tomorrow.  I have a firm committed 9 spots right now.  This may increase a little depending on responses I get today, but I’ll probably have around 15 spots available for tomorrow.  I will post all the details…how many spots for what days and times.  If I need to just do one class this time around, I’m totally okay with that.  I’m new to all this and just starting out, so I’m going to roll right along with it.  No worries and no stressing.  I completely forgot to factor in it’s spring break the weekend I chose, so that has left a lot of people unable to make one of the March dates, but a hefty wait list for April.  So we shall see how it goes.  Eeek!

Let me see.  So Susan and I are on day 10 of our 21 Day Fix and so far, so good.  I am honestly really loving it.  I would tell you if it was horrible, but it’s not.  And I’m not starving.  Did I want a piece of cheesecake the other night?  Why yes, yes I did, but I’m sticking with the 21 days.  I am eating healthy, drinking my gallon of water every day and getting my workouts in.  My running has lagged because I have noticed I don’t have quite as much energy to get my longer runs in.  But I decided to be okay with that for 21 days.  So I’m not going to hit 70 miles and that is totally okay.  And I can see the results.  It’s hard to argue with something when you can actually see it working.  And our friend Dana has now joined us.  Things like this are so much more fun with friends.

 

 

I was asked a little while back to lead a craft session at the Made To Love retreat in Knoxville, Tn in April.  I have never met any of the ladies who are putting it together, so honestly I was a little nervous about committing to something like this…especially when you don’t know anyone.  After more emails flowed in, all the ladies seem super sweet and passionate and like they are working really hard on the retreat.  I think it is going to be a sweet time.  And I may have wrangled Brea into taking the road trip with me.  And I will be teaching a craft session, it will surely be a great time 🙂  Check out the Made To Love site and all the details and maybe I’ll see you there.

Josh Kelley and I have been on a date night roll in 2014.  We made a big, firm decision to make sure we carved this time out for us.  And we permanently lined up Anna…the sweetest baby sitter ever…for the same night every week.  And she’s gold.  And kind.  And responsible.  And last week we had to cancel due to bad weather…and Harper cried…big, big tears.  Anna is just the best and has a mighty big heart too.  Right now she is working on trying to raise $2,200 by March 19th to purchase Bibles for kids in Belle Glade, Fl.  Seriously, what an amazing teen she is.  You can help Anna out with a donation and read all about Anna’s goal HERE.  With just a few dollars we could help purchase lots of Bibles and encourage a teen with a mission minded heart.  Sounds like a win, win.

And last, but certainly not least, Noonday Collection just released their new spring line last week.  By now you have surely heard me talk about Noonday and how amazing I think this company is.  It’s love people.  Big love.  And I’m having a party!  Mark your calendars right this very minute.  Mark them.  Do it.  Get those calendars out.  Get those pens and highlighters.  Thursday, March 27!  You guys, I want this party to be huge.  I want us to rally together in the name of fashion and fun accessories, but most importantly, to empower woman and families around the world.  I want our house busting at the seems with ladies.  I want our trunk keepers website to be over run with internet orders for this party.  Make it a girls night.  Tell your friends.  There will be good, yummy food and drinks and I’m already making my list of all the goodies I’m going to purchase.  The new line is killer.  More details to come!

So just a little housekeeping for today.  You guys bless me in such an amazing way and I am incredibly grateful you stop by for a read.  Here’s to a really great day!

Happy Wednesday!
