Monday Happenings...

What a quick and fun weekend....we held our annual Family Halloween Party and oh boy it was a HUGE success. Not only did we have over 100 people at our home but we collected a lot of food for the local food pantry!

This week is CRAZY Busy for me!

Today and Wed are the only days I am home.

Tomorrow is such an exciting day as I am meeting some blogging friends, in person, in NYC! Mary from Homegrown Learners and Theresa from Magnolia Lane. A little retail therapy and then lunch at Tony DiNapoli's! So excited to meet them IRL!

Then Thursday I leave for the Relevant Conference in Hershey PA. That time will be 3 1/2 days away from my family in fellowship, prayer, learning and reflection. I will come away from the conference with a sense of renewal for sure! You can find me on Twitter and FB during the conference!
