Hearts at Home


Tomorrow, I am headed off to a conference!


I'm very excited. I've been to lots and lots of conferences before, but they have all been work related--PartyLite work, that is.


I say, "but they have all been work related" as if this conference is not work related; but, truly, for me, it is. It is intrinsically related to my most favorite 'job' of all--being a wife and a mommy.


The mission of Hearts at Home is to encourage, educate, and equip women in the profession of motherhood. What could be better than 48 hours of girl time, learning how to be a better wife and mother?


In my book, not much.


Well....maybe sitting in an Italian Ristorante gorging myself with eating authentic Tuscan cuisine with my Hubby sans children while on an exclusive 2-month cruise of the Mediterranean....


"This is the night.....it's a beautiful night....and they call it Bella Notte....."


Name that movie. $250 in Merritt Money.


{Hello? Would someone get this woman back on track please? Sheesh. How easily I am distracted....}


In the *ahem* real world, not much could be better than increasing my knowledge of these two subjects that I am so passionate about.


So, tomorrow morning (at 5:15 a.m., no less--ACK already on the lack of sleep!!) I am headed off with six of my good friends. The Man of the House will be caring for the Little Men of the House, and I will miss them all dearly.


{I wonder if they will miss me? I wonder--with the loads and loads of fun that will be had--if they will even know I am gone? *giggle*}


I can't wait to come back and hopefully share some of the things I learned with many of you other mommies.


Talk to you in a few days--have a MAH-velous weekend!!

Devin,

We know that movie (Lady and the Tramp) SO WELL that we were stopped at a traffic light behind an SUV with it playing on their DVD player and my children were quoting word-for-word the lines the characters were saying.

Scary . . .
